Quickdraw's k10 SR20De-T

Ex. Club Member
since i dont actually have a blog on here, though i might start to build one!

gonna see if i can do it right from the beginning (about 5 years ago now i think, poss a bit longer.)

right from when i first got it when i was banned from driving (erm so yeah 5-6 year ago)

Will try do it right from the beginning, right through all the engine conversions its had done to it, all the body work blah blah!

so erm watch this space!

oooh found the first pictures of it like 5 years ago - with the foah kit that is somewere still in the club i think!

think this was sold to Ed, so someone on here will have it!

This should be interesting. I'l make this thread a sticky when there's a bit more content :)
 
Well, suppose i best start doing a write up a bit then eh!

gimme a break from my speach for work any hows!

well.


suppose when i first got the car it had been in a front end crash witha bollard so the front gave me a bit to work on any ways (but since i was banned had the time:p)

managed to luckily find the FOAH kit on my first journey to a scrap yard so managed to get the ull kit, bonnet, headlights etc so it pretty much looked as it does in the pics above (with the addition of the exhaust whihc i welded up to fit, cant remember what car it came rfom though!. added the 14" fondmetal alloys, and also lowered 35mm)

it never really stayted that simple for too long as i was never too keen on the lovely tits on the back!

So first thing was to start to smooth them over!

There is a pic of this some were (i did lose hundreds of photos when my computer crashed back then) but if i find ill update!

first stage was to take the likkle 1ltr out and rebuild a 1.2 i aquired from another micra i had bought (just to say during all thsi time i have bought around 27 micras in my time )

This engine was fitted! and ran for quite a bit but was just to keep the car going never really modified this engine, just rebuilt so it was smooth

that was this one!

------------------------------------------------

This is when most the modification started!

Decided at the time i wanted to go bigger - since there was no k10's that had gone further kev's/da's was most modified in club and was a bit of inspiration, but i wanted to go extreme because at the time i was doing alot of the work etc for other cars)

so this is when the side skirts - front bumper and rear bumper and spoiler were then added (obviously all coming from different cars)

sideskirts came from a fiesta mk3/5 one of the two.
front bumper - again fiesta mk3/5 either way ounf from bumper and skirts
back bumper - nova
spoiler - unfortunatly copied dan's (simply because it became available for cheap and i knew it can look good)

cpl of fitment pics:

as the last pic shows the next thing was to take the engine out - de rust all the engine bay - re primer it all - and sray it before putting the new engine i had been rebuilding (just another 1.2, but that had been ported and polished rebuilt etc)

I think you should get a new micra, a K10 you can keep standard (externally at least), one that you'll be given free, I think it should be gold... It is your future...
 
the bonnet vent was also added!

Bahahaha I remember this....

17-full%20moon.jpg


Matt stole the numberplates off of my car (I thought someone random had stolen them, not good!) so Slim decided to take revenge and removed his bumper....!!!
 
man, all that seems like so long ago now.. I'll have another micra again as a project toy one day. I dont think i can stop at 5 just yet :D
 
As if i found a Amazing new studio flat, but it doesnt have a garage :(

does have 2 off road parking though and it is away from main road through sheltered entrance etc,

but it means i cant have it indoors as i would prefer :S

but i get my previous employee's commision through around about the 17th this month which means i have about a grand to purely waste!

think the micra will be being treated to!

unsure as of yet!
 
this is going be one fast k10 how mucbh work is left to do quickdraw

engine wise?

intyercooler to arrive

decide wether to stick with the megasquirt ecu or go emanage

body work needs about a fortnight constant work on it!

but i simply do not have the time and money at the moment to waster on the micra!

not took time deciding on everything and researching everything just to rush it towards the end

if i had a spare month it would have everything complete.

but the fact i live 250 miles from it now doesnt help

My almera GTi is of the road at the moment, needs a bit to sort it back out properly
my vectra is off the road at the moment from when i blew the head on it!
and the peugeot needs some fiddling with since i spun out on a rounda bout coming home on saturday

so it not just the micra i need to work on!

trouble with having four cars!

but i need to sort them out so i can get rid off!

i contemplating actually buying another micra!

sorting out and selling the vectra, Almera and the pug

go back to having just the 2 micra's

not to sure as of yet
 
buying another micra? lol. It needs to go soon, very soon. I'm getting hassle about it taking up mums garage... Only got room at mine for one car plus ten or so motorbikes.
 
have you? you've obv not been trying very well :p no missed calls.

e-mail sent just incase you've got the wrong number.
 
was in stockton - i met you at the newcastle meet!

well sunderland i met you lot in the macdonalds (think it was you there too)

daft lad with tattoos all up my arm chest ribs down to the groin etc
