Can I put my K11 (nearly) track car on stand please?? ??

Custom cold air intake is complete! Check out the build for it on the performance mods section. [emoji16] Sent from my SM-J330FN using Micra Sports Club mobile app

Unfortunately circumstances have changed, so I will not be able to attend this year. Sorry!![emoji21] Sent from my SM-J330FN using Micra Sports Club mobile app

Thanks Liam! It took a few attempts and different ideas but this seemed the most likely to be effective.

I've not driven him yet since, but it is noticeably louder and a deeper tone, even with a standard paper filter. If the car doesn't feel any different or feels worse, then the hose would be changed to a silicone tube bent the same. I'm unsure at the moment but it doesn't seem to run worse at any...

A spare piece of leftover mesh was cut to the shape of the fog light blank, and is held in place with 5 self-tapping screws. Simple yet effective. With the wheel arch liner removed, the hose was threaded into the blank snugly and siliconed around it to make sure it doesn't move. The foglight...

The wheel was removed again as part of the inner arch had started to rub where it wasn't cut correctly. It was removed and further cut so a trim clip could hold it in place. The tape was there to see if it rubbed which thankfully, it didn't. Sent from my SM-J330FN using Micra Sports Club mobile app

Another update! The foglight blank has been used as a mounting for the hose. It was marked out using some card shaped as the hose opening and a marker pen. A dremel with a small cutting disc was used to cut through the (surprisingly soft) plastic. A hacksaw blade was used to cut the centre part...

I like that idea!![emoji23][emoji23] Or a bonnet scoop???? Sent from my SM-J330FN using Micra Sports Club mobile app

Thanks! [emoji4] I only use the car for autotests at the moment as I'm 16, so can't take him on the road yet! When I start using him for rallies etc. I may move the duct to the grills in the bonnet just as a bit of a safety precaution. Thanks for the advice![emoji4] Sent from my SM-J330FN...

I have lots of mesh left over from the grills I made, and I was going to incorporate some into the foglight blank when it is adapted for the duct. Like you say, it's very low, so gets a lot of debris thrown at it!?

Funnily enough, that's what I'm planning to do! ? the problem is the hose is 71mm in diameter, but the inside of the foglight blank maxes out at 68mm, so the hose would either come out as an oval, would be slightly covered by the blank or the outside of the blank would also need cutting. I'm...

The hose was routed from the airbox down behind the battery. It goes beside the gearbox where the earth wire is. It then comes out where your plastic has been cut and then pull it to the foglight hole! Mine is not yet held in place by the foglight hole but here it is at the moment. Once properly...

To direct the hose to the foglight hole, the wheelarch liner needs a little bit of trimming. The main article (the one that goes all the way around) only needs an inch off of the edge closest to the inner wing at the front. The small panel at the back needs a bit more. When the car is jacked up...

The airbox now goes on with a new rubber seal over the throttle body from Nissan. The end of the box is cable tied on at the moment as the bracket mounting points on the N15 are different to the K11, but it does the job!![emoji16] the hose was from ebay, and was £12 for 2m. You need approx 1.3m...

Then the fun starts! The camshaft cover breather hose was just replaced with a 19mm ID breather filter from Ramair for £4.99. Fits perfect and imo looks better than the cheap chrome top ones!! Sent from my SM-J330FN using Micra Sports Club mobile app

Update time! The carbon canister needs to be lowered in such a way that the Almera airbox sits level, otherwise it rattles and can crush the breather hoses. To get around this, I found the simplest way was to just turn the bracket upside down and replace the cc the right way up, as then the...

That's awesome, thank you very much!

Hi everyone! Back again! Mikey's had a big change recently. The corroded oil sump has been replaced and it's now holding all of the oil in the engine![emoji23] Myself and Mikey attended an autotest at Wethersfield a couple of weeks ago. We went up a class and finished second, which I was very...

Thanks. I know that lifting the inside rear wheel is normal, but as I said I have quite easily flicked it on to 2 wheels before. I could not take a corner faster or it would go over! I've driven many other prepped up fwd cars and Mikey is the only one to do this so easily. Sent from my...
