Curtis' micra k10

[curtis]

it was just an idea to get them, as it may be cheaper if something goes wrong to replace parts from these rather then brand new! lol

 

[Speedle]

keep in mind though just cos its a 36 doesnt mean it has the same choke size's (amoungst other things) there are several differnet flavours when it comes to webers but i agree if they are cheap its worth having some spares

 

[curtis]

Heres a couple of pics that i couldnt upload earlier!

A video

 

[Robert]

Well done with the ZR

Can you get clear lenses for the front indicators?

 

[curtis]

thanks m8, was a struggle top end to keep in front but i did

umm probably be able to, how come?

 

[Robert]

Reckon it'd look better

 

[joesouthgate]

Kev had clear front lenses but thats the only place i;ve seen them ever.

 

[Kev]

do away with the front indicators, if you have a standard bumper, replace them with aftermarket fog lights. You can get rectangle shapped ones which fit nicely with a small fitting plate made up for them.

Wire in a small orange bulb into the side light casing, job done!

Or another simple solution, which I was going to try before wanting fog lights on my LS bumper was to get a clear peice of plastic cut to size, remove the orange plastic and seal on the clear

Ok new idea coming for the car, these will be happening when i get some money

White 14" alloys
40mm lowering springs (so the 35's will be up for sale )

Should look sweet when its done

[Robert]

Looking good!

 

[Speedle]

looks like the front splitters damaged?

 

[curtis]

about a month ago, very windy night, branch in the road, no time to stop, dodged most of it but caught the bottom of it....

quote requested for a re-spray

 

[Speedle]

it only cost me £100 to have the entire bodykit repaired and re-sprayed but then i did all the prep work and that was serioulsy discounted mates rates

 

[curtis]

lol well its me doing the repair + prep, then free spraying through a m8 :grinning:

Do you know what the colour is? Nissan 531 seems to be a bit dull and doesnt match correctly!

 

[Speedle]

Its nissan Artic White IIRC canned 531 never matches the k10

 

[curtis]

ok wonder why though :suspect:

thanks! (Y)

 

[Speedle]

a very specific primer is required to achieve the correct colour match

 

[curtis]

any ideas what that primer might be? :upside:

 

[frank]

curtis

white is one of the worst colours to match, no bodyshop would edge to edge a white panel, they would always blend the next panel to it

 

[curtis]

well 3 bits on the car could do with touching up.....

also the front splitter, it doesnt have to be perfect, but as long as its not really noticeable if you know what i mean.....?

would white primer and then the white paint be ok>?

 

[frank]

curtis

a decent quality paint will cover any colour, some paints are low on pigment eh !
if they are blow-ins, aerosol basecoat and laquer is ok (take the shine off where the laquer is going tho (scotch it, or use a kitchen scourer pad) or it will flake off, and airdry paint (aerosol) can react sometimes if its 2pack underneath

 

[curtis]

Ok update time....

Bought some oil to do an oil change this week sometime

Also got some rust protection and spray paint to touch up everything

Limo black tints are in the post.

Cam will be reprofiled soon as i get £140 lol

 

[curtis]

...

Just spoke to Longlife exhausts who did the full system on the car

Im booked in to get the center box taken out that they had put in, think speed didnt want it that loud lol, but i love loud cars

 

[curtis]

Another update: PICS

Oil change, some fresh new castrol in the beast

I got the rest of the bumper strip crap off the car happy now

Got the black oil stain from around the exhaust, there is a picture for before and after....

Got my new 100w rally bulbs + white LED side light bulbs in! makes the front look alot better

On the 20th June the centre pipe in the custom made exhuast will be coming out, done by longlife in gloucestershire....so it'll be really loud

Coming very soon i hope:

Aggressive cam
weber tune + rolling road (found a cheap place )
New front speakers

Before

After

 

[joesouthgate]

Nice (Y) One quetion though, why has it got the march reversing light in bumper but standard rear lights?

 

[curtis]

think speedle had a set to put on it, but didnt cos he sold it and sold the lights seperate.....the reverse lights dont work anyway lol

 

[Speedle]

exactly right mate still you may as well keep it its even rarer to get one of those than it is to get the clusters

nice to see the bump strip gunk off one of those things i never seemed to have time to do

 

[curtis]

I got this stuff at mod nationals called insect remover by Auto glym, brillent stuff!! doesnt do just insects does stuff better than white spirt etc

http://www.autoglym.com/enGB/product-proddetail.asp?v06VQ=H

 

[curtis]

Just bought this lovely package deal

My car will be tumping once again!!

 

[alien10]

nice mate, will sound loud

how much that set up back then

 

[curtis]

£150

considering the:
cd player was £100
Sub + Amp is £100
6x9s are £50

 

[superls]

nice car im gld to see ur looing after it just as speedle did, ive only got 1 criticism, u shud have kept the wheels that were on it when speedle had it, cos imo they looked better suited to the car

 

[curtis]

The alloys where only put on becuase of certain reasons

Speedline white 14" alloys will be on soon with -40mm lowering springs!

 

[joesouthgate]

Speedlines will look goood (Y)

 

[curtis]

oooo yer

 

[joesouthgate]

have u bought them new?

 

[curtis]

not right now, but will be ready for JAE i hope

 

[joesouthgate]

where are you buying them from, micrasport?

 

[curtis]

yep 10% discount, but they are looking at a tyre range for me

 

[joesouthgate]

Toyos ftw (Y)

 

[curtis]

most probably

 

[James]

Toyo T1-Rs or Yokohama Parada Spec-2's definately!

Paradas have a mental tread pattern too!

Hehe

 

[curtis]

wired up my 6x9s and active sub.......BOOM BOOM!

JUST A NOTE TO PEOPLE....

DO NOT BUY A CD PLAYER FROM WWW.CARAUDIOCENTRE.CO.UK

Twice they have sent me a second hand cd player,

first was my inphase one....came with nothing in the box, just the cd player and loom....sent it back and got a SEALED boxed cd player

Second time i ordered a Clarion cd player in a package deal.....
got it through and theres a note on the box saying "no loom" WTF....the person on the other end of the phone deserved all i gave! dont care if its not his fault! lol

 

[alien10]

thats just not right, bet there reconditioned ones that people have sent back in

 

[curtis]

Ok.....

Im getting the ma12 uprated engine from sammi, hopefully this weekend!
