My long promised blog

See @enuo we are going to have to sort another harness bolt on the tunnel. The k11 seat belt lock is on the seat rail.

Ahh at least you've got the heads up
Easy plate and nut and you'll be away
I edited my post to make identifying the mounts easier but it seems you got it anyways

 

[h701micra]

I've decided that on my spare K10 axle I'm gonna plan a rear disc axle
Use that for track use... keep drums for playing or rallying as its known

Then I'll have to start getting some rear tie bars made for this MSC community so I shall have to start an order list or something :/

 

[Enuo]

want some nissan almera rear disc and calipers?

 

[h701micra]

And in other news
I had an idea for the rear end of my car. Paint/vinyl wise.
And I couldn't picture it
So I had a little help from the beautifully talented and resident photo shopper @Jen319

Twas a late night for us both. I dont care how strange that sounds in your corrupted minds because this was the result

 

[h701micra]

[h701micra]

So I was taping up my conduit and got to the dim dip box... then thought that isn't needed as my lights are on my new custom loom.
So I unpicked it all

There's a few..

And what's now left. Wires are so overrated

Completed this update

 

[h701micra]

Next update.. Oil cooler
Had a fight with my pipework but got em on

It sat here comfortably. And didnt move much so cable tied it on and its sturdy

Heat wrapped the pipe near the exhaust

Replaced grill

Bought 2 of these too, to mount behind it

Haven't fitted em yet. Making an ally mount... or cable ties. We'll see

 

[h701micra]

Took pictures of it coz bored

 

[h701micra]

Then stuck new stickers on
Coz I'm part of the crew

Competition number square

Finally replaced my old Time Attack set too.. for my own personal ones

 

[h701micra]

Forgot to add these tutha day
I polybushed my front and rear mounts but forgot to take pics. So I had to dive under and get this one... with grease on my camera lens

And this one was long overdue

 

[h701micra]

Adding more bits today
Unfortunately more weight but I lose a little at the same time... but when it means more power I dont mind

 

[h701micra]

Well after my premature whinge I think I'll have an update instead

 

[h701micra]

Removed the mech pump today and stuck the regulator etc in place
Mech pump

Replaced with steel

So I went on to put the regulator in place. Not happy with it but it'll do till my swirl pot turns up

 

[h701micra]

[h701micra]

When I can be bothered to make a manifold
If I got my ass in gear I could of done it by now

Running out of JAE time though

 

[pork]

True!
Unsure if il get enough time to make this clutch too

 

[h701micra]

True!
Unsure if il get enough time to make this clutch too

2 weeks 3 days isn't alot of time.
I'll make the mani from scratch shouldn't take long... its just the rest of it.. ignition management. Plus I dont have a spare wideband so it'll be guess work

 

[h701micra]

Suppose I better put my rollcage in then

Get stuck in mate, would you have a rough cost to run a bar between the front cage legs with a bend in the middle to the bulkhead?

Would the bend need attaching to the bulkhead?
Can't say it'd be much either way

With a flat plate mate to mount it that sort if thing, got an idea to mount the steering column and a binnacle on it instead of having the dash/heater etc

Ah I see.
Fancy taking me a few pictures and drawing on what you like. As with every tube like this the bend location is critical

 

[h701micra]

Pictures as promised
New track rod ends and an overview of my setup

Brake pipes fixed

Yes brake fluid stripped my paint off when I changed the fitting to a hose

Using spare hose to protect the pipe

Bias valve bracket

T'd into a suitable vacuum for the regulator.. still no bloody swirl pot

Steel discs to strengthen strut tops

Photos changed to photo bucket links... might actually work
.. I'd just like to point out ive put no pictures after that last one except... There appears to be one below :/ tiny bit weird

 

[pork]

Make swirl pot out off an old co2 bottle like me

 

[h701micra]

I kept meaning to message you about that
I trawled through your blog but couldn't find where you made it

 

[h701micra]
