my new mods

[RIK]

taken the rear seats and rear belts out and fitted a water temp gauge.the wires are all in and fitted.i just need some samco hose to replave the old one so i dont have to cut it.so it wont actually work for abit but it lights up

the weight loss has made a BIG difference.the rear seats are very heavy just on their own i couldnt lift them.theres still more to be taken out.

nice 1 man, you strippin the whole car then??

 

[babyboom]

yes..carpet.rear quarters are coming out this week

 

[Dan_K11]

cool mate, very tidy gauge too. looking good. i was talkin to you at JAE with kirton. dying to see more mods in the future to the 160, gonna be a beast.

 

[RIK]

yeah its nice to meet people from the forum.you should bring your car next time.

yep the first msc k12 beast is born

 

[sonic]

It'll end up weighing the same as a skateboard at this rate.

 

[Alienfish360]

I wouldn't recommend taking the carpet out, the car still has a value you can sell it for when you come to sell it. You won't get the carpet back in once it's removed.

But will still be sweet, I made the mistake on my last Micra of ripping everything out, this time all my carpet is staying and to a point where I can put everything back!

Where are the harnesses tied down to?
They look like they use a standard seatbelt point?

They should be anchored further back than that.

the carpet will go back in..its allready been out when i had the water problem

eh no

eh...yes

 

[Dr Zoidberg]

probably easier to ask what are you leaving in lol

this will be one of the best things you can do to a 160sr, as they weigh about 1000kgs standard

 

[RIK]

fitted the temp sender unit this morning

its all working fine now ,i just need to fit the pillar mount better because it looks a mess atm

 

[Ian]

just need that aircon gone now mate, its weighing you down. Also do you really need power steering?

Nismo, when he says K12 beast, i believe he means performance wise. Should be very nippy now. Would be nice to see it hit 800KG's, should leave a VTS then. You got a public weighbridge nearby?

 

[RIK]

dont know about weigh bridge..i will have to try and find one though

aircon is on my list but i have it in my head that its a i big job when really it isnt :s..probably because nobody has done it on k12 yet

lol..power steering i need im lazy

the rear speakers and rear quarters are out now.the carpet will be out tomorow i think and the rear strut brace should be fitted.

plastic windows are the top of my list ,that will take a few Kg's off it

 

[nismo_k12]

Nismo, when he says K12 beast

what about the black 2ltr though? ive actually seen it now as well.

 

[Alienfish360]

what about your sound deadening and dashboard?

 

[RIK]

nobody else has..

what about your sound deadening and dashboard?

gi me time man! one bit at a time lol

i have a new new mod today..a broken mirror glass stupid van driver didnt like the look of it so he smashed it lol
anyone know how much they are?

 

[Dr Zoidberg]

ian even at 900kgs it should leave a VTS, a bit less weight and more torque but the vts is really only geared to go 0-60. i think the tuners may use the vtr box as its better top end iirc. the standard 160sr has a good chance of out running a vts after 60, just needs to catch them first lol, but now were off topic.

back on topic:
are you aiming for a certain weight? or just as light as possible?

 

[RIK]

light as possible with not many pounds to spend

 

[Alienfish360]

leave that glass out then save a couple of ounces

 

[RIK]

water temps running about 87 degrees c btw

 

[Dr Zoidberg]

light as possible with not many pounds to spend

good man

 

[Ian]

take a big dump before you use the car.

 

[RIK]

and i just noticed today the blue light on the dash for the temp goes off at about 65 degrees c but propper running temp is around 87 like i said earlier

 

[Kirton]

Elaborate please! lol

 

[nismo_k12]

Elaborate please! lol

you already know what im going on about!

 

[Kirton]

I honestly don't, lol! PM me or summit?
