Hi, im pretty fresh to this forum so bare with me.
Im looking into getting a K11 Micra with a CG10 non coilpack engine for a first time road car. So im looking for some advice on mods as to where to get them or what brands to get etc. The cheaper the better!
So after doing some reading ive picked up on the following modifications ive seen you guys recommend a bit.
- 1.3 Inlet Cam
- Bigger air box or pod filter (more info on this please which do you think is better and what airbox fits)
- Upgraded exhaust system from manifold back (leave your recommendations)
- 4-2-1 Manifold (leave your recommendations)
So thats the list i can make out but has anyone got any more ideas for engine modifications? Basically, i don't want to go and blow a hole in my pocket for small improvements. What about things like different carbs etc? Give me your tricks of the trade for more horsepower!
And moving onto suspension and brakes, what do you guys recommend for shocks and springs?
and also whats a cheap brake calliper upgrade that i can still use 13'' or 14'' wheels? Also throw out those ideas.
My objective is to have a little pocket rocket. I want to have a good handling car with plenty of get up and go for its engine. I might end up bringing this car to some trackdays for some fun every once and a while also.
Regards
Declan
