I know it is in a corsa but imagine this in a micra, click in the link and go to the bottom of the page to the black corsa with lemon yellow interior, notice he has hidden the 'dials console' out of site but then has mounted a camera pointing at it with a light.

I think this would look amazing in a micra especially the leather retrim, the 'digital dials' idea is a cheap and cheerful way of doing it. Just thought i would share with you guys what ive found.

Yeah seen this one a few times, and almost inspired me to go for a cream leather interior. Then I changed my mind lol. :p Does look spot on, dash retrim and infact the whole interior looks really awesome!!!

Probably one of the best corsa's ive seen. Weird how alot of them havent blacked out their windows though. Very prone to getting broken into.

That's really nicely done! Must have cost a fortune

Just like saying why spend all that money tuning up a 1.2! Some prefer the thrill of speed, whereas others just prefer a more comfortable and enjoyable drive. Each to there own :)

and me tuning up my k10 hasnt cost much at all. in total about half of what i earn in a month

I just dont understand why people spend thousands on stereos in there cars

Depends on what your interested in really Mark,

Some people have an opinion that adding massive bodykits is pointless as I think you personally would agree with and it's the same for ICE, some see that as pointless too, however....

there is a massive market out there for both and a demand for it. There are 3 main area's that involve car modification, performance, ICE and Bodystyling and not everyone is interested in all 3.

Arnold makes a valid point why bother trying to attempt to make a 1.2 Micra go any faster when all the time, money and effort could be put into a faster car to begin with, it's all down to personal preference and what interests you.

Why do people spend money on anything? because they enjoy it and want more from it.

In my opinion the equipment is way over priced and from my experience of setting up our company has shown me some very interesting points.

i know what your saying mark but the thing is, i personally love ICE and gadgets compaired to speed mainly because speed can kill and over 70mph is illegal.

I can see the point of people kitting up their cars with performance mods but like kev said its a personal thing, also if you do a custom ICE install its something original and if you kit up a car to go faster it isnt original, i personally would like to have an ICE install that i only have.

You bought your 1L knowing its the slowest model..

I personally am facinated when looking at custom boot installs, a couple of friends of mine have some really great ones. Its not always the volume of the system. Its the quality of the speakers and setup. I've sat in a car with 6 good quality speakers and 2 subs in. The quality of the sound that I heard was amazing. Going back into my car and listening to stock sound made me want to cry ;)

Sorry I quoted the wrong post. I actually meant to quote this one:

I probably should have said you should have bought a faster model, then you wouldnt need to mod it as much as you have done.

Yeah but police can still pull you for driving without due care and attention.

Unless the police argue that you were driving dangerously... I'm sure if you did a 0-60 next to a police car on a national speed limit road they still wouldnt be too impressed ;)

Rik you have never even seen my car so you cannot comment,
I've raced K11 1.3's and there no faster than mine.

and your gonna say oh a 160sr is faster bla bla bla but I'll tell you now I dont care because I wouldnt be seen dead in a K12 and the only reason your on the same forum as me is because Nissan couldnt think of a new name for the renault k12 so they named it a micra again.

and if a mod is going to warn me about this post it'll be worth the ten percent

why did you get so deffensive? infact,,why are you allways so defensive about how quick your car is?

like for like your car is slower than a k11..and slower than my car
call it what you want mate its got a nissan micra badge on it,also why is it a bad thing?

k11 killer? whos k11 have you killed?

i would slag your car off but i have grown up mark,,so should you

Rik you have never seen my car so why do you think you know it all,

there is no one on this forum who i dislike more that you, your a waste of space.

If i had 8 grand plus i wouldnt spend it on a crappy 160sr, you know nothing about k10's least of all mine, you have probubly looked at the pictures and read what i have written about my K10 and in your tiny head have made up your own dicision but at the end of the day i have zero, nothing , less than a one penny sweet repect for you,

your 160 sr is no quicker than a VTR, it is slower to 60 then a 99spec vtr and has a lower top speed, your K12 bods can say all they want about torque etc but it means nothing when factory figures show it all.

I'll race you at the pod to show what a K10 with HALF the power of your 160sr can do.
