Wallie's K11

[CMF_Wallie]

hi this is my 1995 K11 SLX, sorry about the dealer photo's off trading post as i havent picked up the car yet.

im very new to micra's so hopefully this forum can provide some useful info.

at the moment its Bog Stock accept for the roller roof racks.

the bodys straight & has a few small scratchs which some Scratch X should fix, the door mouldings on the outside have fallen off on both sides so il be removing them all together & the rear center light has come apart, out of all the micra's i saw they all had the same issue.

i picked this up for $1600 which is the cheapest ive seen an SLX for in adelaide.

first job will be restoration: fix the scratches, number plate light shroud needs replacing & needs new front passenger door card & a stereo as its just got the 4 speaker am/fm. then the real modding will begin.

as im no stranger to the car modifying scene i see this as quite a fun little project, my past project is a 1988 1.6L Ke TX3 turbo which i rebuilt & is now pushing a humble 150fwkw

Hey mate, spoke to you earlier on the MCM forum

I'll be the first to say welcome

 

[CMF_620racer]

Good to see another one hitting the streets.

Your TX3 wasn't red was it?

 

[CMF_RBLUV]

this is still on ebay/gumtree yeah? very good price if so

 

[CMF_Doom]

Woohoo another SA member

 

[CMF_Wallie]

My tx3 is white but its quiet possble I know who owns it. Yes its the 1 on Gumtree. 1600 all up with 3 months rego which seems fair.

so a small update, the car had a massive fuel leak, turned out to be the little emissions tank, replaced that & no more fuel leak, now i just need to work out why my fuel light is always on *sigh* ive installed a stereo just a basic 6.2" kicker splits in the front, 6x9" kicker coax in the rear & 12" kicker sub.

as the micra dosent have the typical boot floor i decided to make 1 to mount the sub box to, i used 5mm thick board & cut it to fit down the middle over the spare. cleaning out under the spare i found pens, pencils, half a packet of chewing gum & a little green army man.

ive made a little list of what to do:

fix fuel light
water pump (the bearings are gone & its noisy)
paint the rims i got for it
lower it
Tint
replace passenger door card
finish removing glue from where the outside moulding used to be before they fell off the rear doors.
replace 3rd break light
replace number plate light trim
replace bonnet

[CMF_Wallie]

cheers, yea so far so good be keen to meet some of the other SA people to put names to faces.

 

[CMF_Wallie]

a small update, havent really done much to the micra i removed all the stickers off the rear bumper

picked up a cheap set of rims from a lancer not sure on model but mirage's also had them as a factory alloy option.

they sit pretty close to flush with the guards so i may have to get the guards rolled if i go super low but i think i should be fine with a set of low springs

 

[CMF_Doom]

Good stuff mate, keep the updates coming.
Added to the build thread thread

 

[CMF_Wallie]

added a few bits.

Cup holder, nothing special but only cost me $1

The army man was in the spare wheel well when i bought the car & is kinda become the car mascot, double sided taped to the dash

Strut Tower Brace

as i park under a tree the leaves build up especially since autumn in here it will only get worse so i just collect them there til i clean the car

 

[CMF_Wallie]

changed my center light bulb to a LED Halo i had lying around

removed the glue residue of where the door molding used to be using a caramel wheel

Removed the Air box for a pod filter

 

[CMF_Wallie]

Put the car on a dyno to see what sorta power its got, 45fwkw completely stock this is my base point to which i can see what kinda mods respond best to give power gain.

unfortunatly i couldnt see the AFR's as the prob dosent fit up the stock exhaust tip
