Pyro´s k11

Hereby my little machine, I´ve colorcoded a load of bits and mounted as much factory options as I could find, including a super s interior.

Its lowered by Tein springs, has a cusco front tower brace and nismo panhard rod, also a rear tower brace is mounted. The exhaust is an apexi N1 catback (not universal). Upcoming parts will be focused on improving handling. A set of wheels will follow afterwards.

[Pyro]

Thanks guys, appreciate the positive comments. There are no side pics yet, did that on purpose actually to prevent the "get some wheels next" comments. I also added a pic of the engine bay. Not a lot of excitement there, a pulsar airbox, NGK leads, Iridium plugs & the Cusco towerbrace.

Yeah I painted everything myself; the "corner strips" on the front bumper, the bump strips on the side, the door handles, the grills, rear plate lightning holder & mirrors.

I have a rear spoiler (the original one that goes down to the window) and have to paint that aswell, but will probably have this done, I cant motivate myself to sand the thing down...

Finally mounted my new grill today, very happy with the way it turned out. Hopefully the paint stays on for a while.

grill looks nice! good work youve done so far... now about those wheels... lol

 

[micra_tom]

This is a really clean car...Love the rear lights...Do you mind if I ask where you got them from??...Looking forward to following this blog

 

[Pyro]

Appreciate the comment sed, funny man.

Tom; I've got em through a taiwanese connect. I know they are available on eBay most of the time too.

did you notice any handling improvement with those strut braces?

 

[Pyro]

A whole lot, the panhard rod had the most impact. When cornering swiftly, the rear gets very sensitive to holes and such, without the panhard I had the feeling the rear always wanted to break out, this improved a lot with the panhard mounted.

the grill came out and looks very smooth

 

[Pyro]

Fitted new rear seats, wanted the headrests

 

[alexzaki]

While i was checking your blog, i thought you should change the grill...and you did (Y) much much better!
Car has a clean look, love it (Y)

Grill looks beautiful (Y)

How did you do your headlights black. Did you open them as said in the DIY section?

 

[r-reg-sr]

its very tastey!

 

[Pyro]

thanks for the compliments guys.

@peposhi I used a hairdryer and sharp knife blade to get it off, took hours to do. I also heard a nasty crack when working on it so its definitely at your own risk. I wont touch it again is all I know.

 

[peposhi]

the two black grills in the bonnet look very well made

Thanks Peposhi, its an original Nissan grill from Japan which I repainted. The backside of the thing is a mess, the mounting are all in very bad condition. I might need to search another one just in case.
