Great so your nearly there!(Y)
Seems to be alot easier to get stuff welded in the uk compared to Ireland.
Ah I have a lot to do, its still driving grand but I could really do with refresh on the engine, set of rings and valve stem seals and also send the turbo off to turbo technics to get reconed aswell and then maybe some more power

Baz more power is always needed lol lool forward to see-ing it
Finished my fuel rail tonight and i must say im very happy with it
I turned the injectors 180 degrees to allow more TB clearance i hope. Couldnt find a spare to test it lol also fitted the FPR fitting and added some nice torx screws will hand it into the welders once ive made the last part of my exhaust

topfeed CGA ones are an option eh stani, correct spacing and bracket position, but it hits the idle control valve bigtime
(removal of i/c/v or GA16 or SR t/b needed)

1000 quid on a respray!!!
cant help thinking this could of gone on performance modifications, like getting a firm to make the fuel rail, or an lsd for the gearbox,or forged internals so it can take more than 163bhp if needed, surely you must agree mike, micra shells can be picked up for ten a penny, and you probs could of bought a mint white Si for half the price, not having a rant or anything, its not my money, but if it was,well........ STILL,it does look nice, top effort on the build, keep it up buddy(Y)

£1000 is cheap for a respray (and a decent one by the looks of it) I can get a full respray done for about £500-600...aint a good job though
Awesome progress so far Stani

£1k is about the going rate for a good quality respray if you don't mind doing the prep. I paid the same for a respray in twin pack. As for picking up a mint shell for £1k, unless you're very lucky that's a hard thing to achieve. Pistons would however be my governing choice among other things.
Looks very nice Stani and I like the interest in white wheels, I have had a set of powdercoated OZ SL's in white, had them on around 3 years or so now. They're a pain to keep clean, but a white K11 with white wheels looks dead smart when cleaned up, I say go for it!

Theres always more money appearing for things like that. Forged pistons- no for me. Lsd-no for more. Fuel rail- done! bodywork was priority, my last 5-6 cars have had good bodywork but the bubbling paint on this white one was too much of an eye sore too me. Glad its done as it stands out now
Scott- ill be there but i cant see it being turbo'd, the old me would have had it done straight away but whats the rush eh got a full system on so will still have a bit of fun.
Low rider- you wouldnt have pics of white on white do you?

i wasnt suggesting 1k was expensive, the use of exclamations was to point out that such use of money on just paint seems frivilous...i am aware of how much a decent respray costs, but would never go to the exoense of getting my MICRA resprayed, yeah sure i do like the cars and would be my first choice when modifying simply because every ones perception of them is ####, but they are rust buckets at the end of the day. Personally, money allocated to the legit fabrication of a fuel rail would of been more important, as stated earlier in the blog, isnt this going to be a semi-family car?? if so, i would hate to even imagine if that fuel ruptured and sprayed fuel over the turbo whilst driving with my family in the car, just a thought....
they look like oz super turismo
im sure they are oz super leggera your talking about mr cheung
