- Start date
It was a busy week 
Firs the shop sorted my handbrake. 15€ later:
Then i had a spare key made for 6€
On friday i was bored so i took the seat out:
Took off the seating part:
And then took that apart:
And then start cutting:
This came out
Now i seat about an inch lower. I dont bump my head into the sunroof anymore
Then i painted the front mudflaps wich didnt want to go off the car so:
75% done:
Blaaaaack:
Did the rears a while ago:
Then i ripped off the bump stops. Easy part:doh: :
Removing the glue was a pain in the ass:
90% done. Needs a polish now :doh:
Today i had the wheel alighment done. Next is homologation of the springs (stupid procedure here in Slovenia) then MOT.

thats cool mate, real modding going on with your car, sweet justice for k11, it deserves it !
Tnx mate im doing mostly cheap mods because i dont have a job atm :glare: Real money is yet to be spent!
Passed MOT this morning everything was fne except emissions but it was a friendly tester So weight reduction:
I had this box of first aid kits and jacks etc that came with the car :
Spare wheel weight:
The weight of the box:
This went in:
Weight:
20kg saved in 5 minutes
And the boot can be used again

I want the back to slide out
lol fair enough, loose the back seats then!
If i take those out ill be moved to Modified class in out Time attack championship. Im in Street class now
good call, but surely doing things like drop springs counts as a mod?
There are some mods allowed in street class. Every mod has points. Like springs have 4 points, dampers 10, ARB-s 8, headwork is 15 etc. When you reach 60 points you go to the next class. Every car has a base number of points. for example the micra has none, ITR has 30 and the clio RS200 cup has 50. So to stay in the Street class with a clio you cant really do much but with the micra you can do alot ATM i am at 1 point because the allowed tire width in Street clas is 205 and i have 175 so they deduct 6 points. I also have a pod filter wich is 3 points and springs wich are 4. Sounds complicated eh

After a tiny struggle with the bolts:
The stabilizer bar came off:
Old bush:
Old vs. new:
Fitted with new bolts:
And a bad picture of the fitted bush:
Today i recieved this:
50€
Old droplinks. 3 bolts came undone fine but one was a 2 hour struggle:
Battle wounds on the nut:
Fitted:
Now you ask me how it drives. Well it rolls a little les and steers better i think but most of all you get loads of lift-off oversteer(Y) At some point i will fit Strongflex bushes on the front aswell but first i decided to invest into a digital gauge for monitoring oil and water temps and oil pressure etc...
And im doing a trackday on friday so wish me luck

Because nobody wanted to take pictures of my micra on the trackday (they did take pictures of every other car from several angles :wasntme: ) i decided to do it myself. This is my first attempt at making serious pictures and the camera used was some point and shoot (and pray to god) Olympus that i borrowed from my mom and so on
Here goes:
And 2 optimistic pics:

War declared!
LARD!!!!
To be continued!!!
the poor car looks left out in the back ground all by itself
i dont know but k11 does very well when no humans are around :grinning: sort of feels at ease as its stance shows
the poor car looks left out in the back ground all by itself
Well the DBS is parked on the entrance into the pits and the micra is parked in the spectators parking
There were also a V12 Vantage, porshe gt3, audi r8 V10 GT, bmw M3 GTS, M3 CSL, and a M3 GTR race car:
Ok i went on a dyno day today.
Here are the results:
Green is torque red is power. The lowe curve is with the bonnet closed. Max value with an opened bonnet was 88hp at 6120rpm and 125Nm of torque. With the bonnet closed the peak power was 6hp lower and torque 5Nm lower.
There was also a bone stock mondeo ST220 and that showed 210hp. And also a bone stock Honda civic type R that showed 200Hp (stock is also 200) so im pretty sure this is correct

True but while driving on the road there is a massive exchange of air through the grill. Much bigger than what the dyno fan can generate. But anyway i have a plan on making a good cold air feed to a GA16 airbox
that scuttle are may not get any airflow tho (a stale area) like when people fit bonnet lifters and think that it will let heat out fwn the lower screen area has positive pressure on my car and i can turn the heater fan off while traveling yet still feel it blow hot
nice milage mate
