syko micra build

[SYKO]

Decided its time i should start a build thread..

Bought this car back in june from a fellow forum member..

Car was in a bit of a mess cosmetic wise as some cretin had decided to pour brake fluid on the body work.

 

[SYKO]

Car was in a perfect state mechanically and was a good base..
Rear bilstein shocks
Front adjustable koni dampers
Peter lloyd cat back exhaust
Oz wheels with brand new tyres
And best of all a 12 month ticket

Only thing letting the car down was the paintwork but luckily managed to get the paint ordered through work but at 40 quid a litre. sorted dents out and sprayed the poor girl up..

Managed to persuade the lad who had my old wheels (off the 1st micra) and he had kindly polished the nuts off them..
Bagged myself a set of corsa coilovers for a steal and popped them on

 

[SYKO]

Wasnt overly keen on the Coilovers must be my old age
so swapped the wheels for my oz's and but the proper suspension back on..

Popped over to swansea and picked a lightened flywheel up from Michael Jones who is a top bloke

Fitted that two weekends ago and it made a massive difference would persuade anyone that is offered one to jump at the chance..

And Finally Picked my minilites, 4 branch and corsa setup from evofrenzy who is another top man even threw in a ga throttle body

In stupid excitment i was awake at 5 on sunday to fit the manifold.. she pops and bangs now
