Well i thought i would make a blog seeing as i intend to do some work to my k11.
Heres a little story to how i got my micra;
So when i passed my test in january 2010 i bought the K11 for £500 and was a decent little car and never let me down, but a year later when i had a years no claims i thought i want a "faster" car now, so i bought a 1.8 ford focus, which drained all my money on fuel and things going wrong with it. luckily for me the guy i had sold my micra to when i bought the focus was going to scrap the micra because it had failed MOT (needed welding and new exhaust). So i bought it off im for £175 with tax on it until feb next year, and started on the welding (when i got under the car i could not believe how bad the rust was, probably should have checked before buying it back but oh well its done now, i put a standard exhaust which cost me £150 including 2nd cat which im pretty gutted about seeing as i now know i could have gotten a sportex one for £140 but ah well thats life lol.
Im so glad i bought it back its much more fun to drive in my opinion.
Anyway thats the life story which im sure many of you might just skip lol.
What i intend to do is;
1. Fit the new induction kit, which I have bought but not installed.
2. Fit a tachometer. (Already done)
3. Fit lowering springs, but probably going to wait until after the winter/snow and maybe also wait until i get some gas shocks for it aswell.
4.Sportex exhaust
5. Strut Brace
6. get rid of the ugly stickiness from the bump strip that someone has tried pulling off before
7.Some wide arches
8. Alloys, preferably some deep dish alloys
There is lots more i want to do aswell but i think i will wrap this up now
Thanks for reading guys, the pics below are of how it looks now, and i will try my best to keep this blog updated everytime i do something to the car
If you click on the image it will open onto a larger one, if it asks for a password just type in micrak11 and you should be able to see it large.
Thanks for reading guys
