well i think it's time that i finally wrote up a blog of my micras.
sorry for the long story
lol
it all started a couple of yrs ago when i wanted a cheap run around so we could get the wife a car, after passing her test.
as i trained as a nissan technician for about 4 yrs, i thought i'd get a silver k11 facelift 1.0 Si to do my 60 mile a day round trip to work, as i know nissans inside and out (up untill 2002, now i build Toyota's). vowing not to modify this car, i went back on my word once i stumbled on the MSC and originally registered as Silver_SI. then talked the wife into getting a green 1.3 Si after noticing the potential of the k11.
we modified the wife's with a K&N induction kit,lowered 35mm on kyb springs with 15"s, omp strut brace, fitted 1.6 N14 vented brakes, aftermarket steering wheel and boss kit, debadged and modified grills.
i ended up re-building my cg10 engine into a 1275cc cg10, fitting a janspeed manifold, s/s cat back system into a 4" jap style can. lowering it 35mm on kyb springs, sold the standard 13" alloys and fitted the 1.3 si 14's, modified the grills same as the wife's, fitted rear head restraints, fully debadged including bonnet, nissan march numberplate holder cover and a leguna front splitter.
then it was time to get a bigger car as we have got two kids (3 and 5yrs old), so about3 months ago we bought the wife an N16 almera sport+ (which now has a 5" jap style backbox off tommo).
i put the 1.0 back to standard, sold most of the aftermarket parts, swapped some onto, now, my green k11 and sold the silver 1.0 to my brother-in-law and changed my username to Swiper, because silver_si wouldn't make much sense having a green car.
then modified the green k11 some more, which now has the following done, followed by pics.
janspeed manifold, lighter cg10 flywheel and crank pully, 15" alloys, lowered 35mm on kyb springs and kyb gas shocks, 1.6 N14 vented brakes, aftermarket steering wheel and boss kit, rear head reastraints, whiteline castor kit, front fogs, inside headlights painted black, clear side repeaters, tinted rear quarter windows, a borrowed ashley comp backbox, debadged and modified grills (same as the ones i did for squarepants).
