My "moddedmicra" K10!

[JStone]

I wondered where you were going with that induction kit. What'd it cost you in total? (time/money?)

 

[joesouthgate]

umm £20 for the silicon bend and rubber adaptor. £14 for the pipe. £10 second hand HKS filter. not too bad really and has made a nice bit of difference. and took me a couple of hours at college.

 

[JStone]

Looks good.

Edit: Have you checked if having those LEDs on is road legal?

 

[joesouthgate]

Cheers (Y) The best and most fulfilling things are homemade

the induction mod,s looking good (Y) , you wont better that for cold air feed in warm weather, but i bet the carb would ice up in the winter tho
how about a funnel behind the filter, for ram air boost

 

[joesouthgate]

Cheers frank. Yer I would probably take it off the down pipe in the winter and put the filter above the exhaust manifold.

 

[joesouthgate]

Painted the induction kit and spare rocker cover yesterday:

And wired up my front LEDs :

 

[squarepants]

you do know the heat off the exhaust manifold is going to rise and heat up the intake pipe? tbh dont think it will affect the cold air to the engine...if it was plastic, or cold air feed rubber pipe it probs would...looks cool!

whats the paint called?

 

[joesouthgate]

The paint is Hycote VHT Red. Its made quite a bit off difference so to be honest i dont think its warming it that much!

 

[JStone]

And wired up my front LEDs :

I've always been told that having any blue light on the front of your vehicle is against the law. After researching I found it's legal to have a non-moving and non-red LEDs mounted on the front of your car.

Looks quite good, but I'd personally wire in a switch and have a set of nightrider LED's in the grill. Just for show.

 

[joesouthgate]

They are wired on a switch just incase the cops feel like having an arguement with me about them!

Get a TPTT switch and wire in 3 modes. On, Off and Chase! I believe maplin has an LED chase kit for around £7, could be possible to cannibalize it and go give that a shot. It'd be pretty cool to see the LEDs scroll inwards.

 

[joesouthgate]

Tempting but i cant really be bothered And scrolling/flashing leds are highly illegal on roads casue its inpersonating police vehicle!

Well, flame exhaust kits are illegal on the roads too but it's a show thing.
