Gotta come......cant be just 1 k10 there

I like the way you think

 

[Belly93]

[Belly93]

[pork]

Gave this a try

Not to sure now opinions

Anyway, went to drive off, forgot bonnet pins, floored it and bye bye bonnet!!!

Oooops lol

Luckily it landed ok-ish

 

[Belly93]

Pork mate I used to do spray jobs on rifles for a gun shop about a year ago. Best way to do camo is just free hand, use objects like leafs and other natural items as stencils. Always start with the lightest colour first as well mate. Always looks better in matt colours as well. Camo jobs never look right in gloss.

EDIT: Also glad to see the bonnet is mostly alright. Lucky guy.

I personally dont think it will look right mate. I love the original colour

 

[karlj]

[Sdperkins]

[MicrAde]

[MicrAde]

Haha not quite!
Could of cut up a jack pyke ghillie suit and stuck it on tho

 

[h701micra]

I'll lend you my ghille suit... do it... or at least wear it and drive it
Camo looks best on cars when it stands out try to hard and you look a tool
I think its brilliant. Its different and hey.. why not eh

 

[pork]

Lowered it about more today......looks great.....but now there's a rumbly feeling now at speed
Hmmmm


The rears are basically on the bump stops, the fronts are pretty close too, I'm not sure if its the wishbones resting on the chassis now.....or could be tyres scraping lol

Lowering affects tracking mind, and that can cause rumbling

 

[pork]

True, il get that looked at as well

driveshafts probably neil, you said the k11 wishbones gave positive camber iirc ? shorter ? and adding some negative camber and lowering will bind the shafts even more

 

[frank]

eh

 

[pork]

eh

Anything I can do? I slotted the top holes on the struts to bring it all in line

it might be just 1 side that is binding mate ? if you jack the front then lower it down, you might see the engine try to shift over as the potjoint binds ?

 

[pork]

Il give it a bash

 

[Belly93]

is this your old motor neil? http://www.272heroes.com/forum/showthread.php?2608-unlucky-racing-member-micra-K10-old-skool

 

[pork]

Yeah
It's got an ma12 in it now

 

[frank]

Il give it a bash

there,s about 30mm of lateral/side movement in the inner c/v,s eh neil (to allow for the differing shaft lengths when the suspension droops) has your new/improved engine mount shifted it over at all ?

 

[Belly93]

looks nice

 

[h701micra]

Haha saw one of the guys signatures on there. Tickled me sumat chronic

Don't think so, il give that a check to mate

about the women or springs?

 

[h701micra]

The springs.. epic

 

[pork]

Took a look at drive shafts today after I lowered it stupidly low......they were at a silly angle

Raised it by 1.5 inch and the problems gone

Thanks


Getting real tired off only being able to use 1/4 throttle, roll on payday so I can start this clutch

Still, it is rapid! Scares me, but in a good way

The cars getting a lot off interest though, which I'm not used too, everyone wants to talk about it, from totally random people too, from typical chavs who all say 'is it chipped n stuff'.......to an 80 year old jamaican dude who loved the carbs idea

 

[pork]

Mehhhhhhh!

Rumbling feel has returned, more so when cornering left at speed, a little rumble cornering right
Left cornering is quite bad tho, can't hear anything, but defo can feel it

Don't wanna have to raise it up, looks bad ass how it sits now, was thinking off raising the engine, but that will Involve to much work

 

[pork]

Looking at exhaust options.....anyone had any experience with these?

Or suggest a better alternative

[h701micra]

Can't find one in 2.5 inch inlet

 

[h701micra]

Oh I see I don't think there's anything wrong with em as such

 

[pork]

There's some cheapo style stuff on eBay, but beings I've never bought exhausts before, thought I'd pick some brains........

.........this build really does show the ass about face way I've taken things on........build turbo carb engine, then learn basic mechanics

 

[frank]

i,ve used mij for s/s perf and pipe a few times neil http://www.mijexhaustparts.com/prod...ear-backbox-4q-tip-tailpipe-25q-inlet?sef=hcp

 

[pork]

Il take a look

 

[h701micra]

As long as you're learning its all gravy

 

[jakob]

[pork]

Saab td04 now mate

 

[jakob]

ahh alright thanks , is it better than the t2 would ya say ?

 

[pork]

ahh alright thanks , is it better than the t2 would ya say ?

Wouldn't know mate, as the t2 I bought was a duff one

 

[h701micra]

Td04's are bigger than T2s.
Then its down to opinion on what's better
