    Blxxdy hell

    Had to remove back seat in my 160sr, as the seat was stuck down, due to a brojen belt mechanism. Discoverred the back seats are on runners, and the seat itself is mounted on a box tubular steel frame. Was astounded by the weight of it. Am a strong bloke, but could only just lift it. It looks...

    2 years of driving my 160sr, after quute a few mods.

    Thought I'd let people know how my mods turned out. Have been driving my 160sr for 2 years now. Lowered it, with eibach springs, hated the ride. Replaced shocks with bilstein b8s, still too harsh, so went back to standard Sr springs. Had smaller wheels fitted, with bigger tyres, that helped...

    Micra musings

    2 years of driving my 160sr now, still enjoying it, especially in the colder weather, with a bit more pep. Hadn't driven for a long time, before I got it, but remember as a passenger in my dad's new 1.3 sve when they came out in 03, that it felt like driving on rails, very accurate and agile...

    You may already be aware. Had a sports exhaust fitted, and a kandn filter fitted. Took off air intake scoop, and the first half of long intake arm. Left with air box, and half wide duct ending halfway in engine bay never got around to fitting a Megan scoop and new ducting. Makes a big...

    160sr seems slow off the mark ?

    Hello, I get feeling that my 160sr is a bit slow off the mark, particularly in 1st gear, and to some degree in 2nd. No probs once it gets up to 25mph. It's done 37k mileage, and its very quiet sounding. Changed plugs, coils, cleaned mass air flow meter, fitted a kandn filter. Any ideas...

    More comfortable ride needed for a k12 160SR required - possible wheel replacement?

    Hello , I've got a low mileage 2005 160sr. Thanks to Mikka, I went for the eibach pro kit, and had all of the cars suspension parts renewed (literally all of it). Ride height is great, and its better than stock. Sits a little lower, and handles like a dream. Although its not such a bumpy ride...

    Accelerator tuning box

    I thought my micra was a little slow initially off the mark. Tried getting a remap of ecu, couldn't find anyone that did one for a 160sr (probably not much power to gain). I bought and fitted a tuning box accelerator pedal box. Quite pleased with results. Comes with 9 settings. Currently using...

    K12 recommended head light replacements

    Thought I'd pass this on. Bought TYC replacement headlights, looked okay in box, however, when I came to fit them realised they were poor quality. I'd bought chrome ones by mistake for my 160sr. Bought correct black ones, by Valeo. They are loads better quality, hard to tell difference...

    Mods and upgrading a 160sr

    I purchased a low mileage 2005 160sr a couple of weeks ago. Always had an OCD about the k12, since my dad bought a 1.4 sve from new in 2003. Am currently going through car, servicing it, with upgraded parts etc. Have a large budget, and want to optimise everything. It's done 34k miles. Have...
