Olly's pimped out K11

[ollyc98]

I picked up an L reg 1.0 LX on 18/01/09
http://www.micra.org.uk/showthread.php?t=27052

When I got her she was rolling on 14's with bald tyres, which I would have kept but I'd just bought 4 new tyres for my old K10. Now instead of 165/65/R14 she's on 165/65/R13

I'll be keeping my mods insurance friendly for a while, got a 3 point harness in there with an inertia reel on the top strap, got a new noisy tailpipe which doesn't increase power any. Also swapped over my tacho/ shift light

Pics to follow tommorow if I can work out my new camera

Update: I want some wheels like this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/5-x-WELLER-ST...3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66:2|65:2|39:1|240:1318

Had some on a mini years ago, think they look great, they'll be gone by the time I get paid, anyone know where I can buy them on a more permanent basis?

 

[frank]

i reckon you got a bargain there olly , i had those wheels on my mini,s too (in the 70,s )

 

[jim_bling]

any big plans then for this or just little things

 

[pjg1979]

Great Bargain there Olly, Those wheels on ebay look like a good deal, but they'll need sorting first I reckon. Get some pics up matey.

 

[ollyc98]

At the moment I'm doing little things, but now I have a CG engine I can go crazy and use a nissan cube turbo setup if I wanted to. The K11 has way more tuning options, however as previously said the Micra will be pretty standard til next year due to insurace costs

 

[MicraFish]

I'm glad she's in good hands!
Nissan Cube Turbo setup sounds so amazingly awesome - I am intrigued!

 

[ollyc98]

Got a mask on the way for the 3rd brake light so when I brake it lights up 'MICRA', just need to affix it to the window now lol. Also got some red LED's on the way for the dials.

Will get some pics up thursday

Got a mask on the way for the 3rd brake light so when I brake it lights up 'MICRA'

lol i had one of those, lasted a week before it got binned...felt ripped off aswell cost £3 plus postage!

 

[ollyc98]

Yeah it is pricey for a bit of vinyl but nevermind, I also want to get oneof the pulse units so it flashes 5 times then stays on

 

[ollyc98]

Right finally some pictures:

 

[MicraFish]

Cor she's looking good!
Alloys and exhaust look proper nice too!

 

[pjg1979]

Very nice Olly, any chance you could get another pic of the straps from the passenger side? Looks like there coming off the rear seat belt.

 

[ollyc98]

My harness has an inertia reel so you can move about, it's going to the rear pillar so I have lost the seatbelt behind the drivers seat, I'll get a pic 2moz if poss

 

[squarepants]

strip it out rear seats are useless with harness.

 

[ollyc98]

The seat behind the driver has been removed to make room for the inertia reel as I've now moved it down to the rear bench but the other 2 need to stay in place as I'm being treated like a taxi service atm. I'll strip it out next year when insurance is cheaper lol

 

[Steve'o]

where did you get the exhaust from
i want one for my k11 but dont want it to infect performance for insurance reasons like you

so could you lead me in the right direction

 

[ollyc98]

I got a standard back box, cut the pipe off and welded a 60mm exhaust trim on lol

 

[squarepants]

i actually think exhaust trims are cool if there done like properly..i.e welded like yours. iam having a 3" trim welded on my spare standard back box lol. just to make it look better without affecting insurance.

p.s is that your breaker bar down side of the drivers seat? i keep mine there loll

 

[ollyc98]

Yeah that's my breaker bar, if anyone tried to jack me they'll get a mouthful of chrome, I know it's not strictly legal but the only people that will get hurt will be breaking the law anyway. Plus I can't put it in my boot as it's full of subwoofer.

Been busy today:
Moved harness down

Micra decal over brakelight

CB radio installed

 

[b47to]

lovein the break light mod also the exhaust 1 keep up the good work its coming on well

 

[ollyc98]

Yes ladies and gentlemen it's pimping time again. Today I did my LED speedo and dixie horn, see if you can guess where the horn is...

 

[b47to]

erm is it in the grill ? lol

and i have red leds behind my dash they look so much better in the dark

 

[ollyc98]

Yeah i'm waiting for darkness for a pic

 

[pjg1979]

Dixie Horn, lol. I wanted to do the brake light thing as well, but I used my stickers else where, lol.

 

[Simonh]

how much was the cb radio?

 

[ollyc98]

I traded a 100watt amp for it lol. You can get them on ebay for less than £10 or ask for one on freecycle

 

[squarepants]

10-4 this is rubber duck, dont want to be a party pooper, breaker breaker over.

or somthing along those lines :S

 

[ollyc98]

It's useful for getting traffic info from the taxi companies, tune in and listen to where the jams are. You don't have to talk just stay off channel 18/19 or you upset the truckers that still use these things

 

[squarepants]

yearh my mate had one in his disco used to listen to a few truckers and the council lol. thats all he could pick up though.

 

[ollyc98]

I'd use it all the time if there were more CB'ers to chat to, makes the journey more fun. Also useful on cruises etc

 

[pjg1979]

Fast and Furious, Micra Style I like it. "There's a Homocide in Bracknell and the cops are all over it, Were Ready To Roll!" lol.

 

[ollyc98]

New rims, tyres too big tho...

 

[MicraFish]

oooh nice! Black really suits that colour!
You going to get smaller tyres and then lower it?

 

[ollyc98]

Yeah those tyres raised it 3 inches so deffo need smaller ones when I get paid.

 

[pjg1979]

Very Nice Olly, definately need slimmer tyres, coming along nicely mate.

 

[ollyc98]

Fitted the new wishbone and got tracking sorted today. Have also had to buy 4 nissan 5 spoke alloys as the black alloys were.... unsuitable.

 

[joesouthgate]

What was up with the wheels mate?

 

[ollyc98]

The studs were mildly out of allignment and the vibration caused 3 studs to shear off, would have been ok if I'd used wobble bolts to correct it

 

[joesouthgate]

Ouch!

 

[ollyc98]

Yeah it sucks a bit, still I got 4 standard alloys for £60 so will just sell the black ones to someone with a renault

 

[ollyc98]

Installed some speakers in the parcel shelf today, also made a new backbox which is basically a bit of 44mm pipe clamped onto the back lol. It sounds standard until you get to 3000rpm then it purrs away nicely.

Also bought some springs for the front, they are 10.5 inch 200lbs and should drop/ stiffen up the front end nicely

 

[ollyc98]

More pics:

 

[pjg1979]

Very Nice Olly, do you have seperate Reverse and Fog Lamps? Any Pics of the exhaust?

 

[b47to]

lurv thoes rear lights

 

[ollyc98]

The last pic is the exhaust (a piece of pipe lol) I won't be putting a reverse light on as it wouldn't work anyway, I'm going to buy a foglamp unit as soon as I get a job, I also have some reflectors on the way to go on the bumper.

 

[Optispart]

looks mint mate

 

[richie]

wire up some fiat coupe lights in there, if they fit, then you will have reverse and fog................(any maybe tint them red)

Like this.............

 

[ollyc98]

It's cheaper to just not bother lol, the reverse light switch doesn't work anyways it's only the fog I need to worry about

 

[ollyc98]

I've been at it again, fitted some road legal DRL's and glued a MTX50 piston to my gearstick

 

[MicraFish]

Nice! Looking good ol' bean!
