Curtis' micra k10

[Arnold]

you should drill the holes in the sills then use plastic lugs in the holes for the screws to go into, as long as you treat the holes you drill with some rust prevention stuff you wont have any problems

Yeah i dont think you did that on mine

Curtis, that's how the super s kit is fitted as standard so there shouldn't be any problems with it

 

[curtis]

ok i guess i will do it that way then....might wait till summer though ...lol

 

[Speedle]

Yeah i dont think you did that on mine

different times mate no more bodging here!

 

[curtis]

:grinning:

 

[curtis]

Just comfired by my dad....that for my birthday i will be getting a set of alloys! can't wait!! watch this space!

 

[curtis]

Weber carb....already set up for the k10 i think....£50
Tinted windows....birthday pres from the mother! haha
Lowering springs....bypartsby coming soon 10-12 days

Total: £800-900 :wow:

 

[daveeeeee]

good stuff (Y) i've almost spent £800 on my k10 will def come to £900 when finished and thats without the ice :suspect: . worth it tho

 

[curtis]

Just purchased: 15" Fox racing alloys from halfords

 

[curtis]

Picture if my new alloys....will be on car on Wednesday, due to halfords not having the fitting kit in stock!!

 

[curtis]

ok so the alloys don't really fit on the back........soooooo

I'm getting two other rear hubs and moddifying them....this is due to the center of the alloys not fitting over the hub on the micra because the hubs are to big....not even the spigot rings that halfords gave me fit into the alloys center.....

i'll get them machined down at work and then they'll fit a treat! lol

 

[Antony]

[Speedle]

nice job mate, the sound should be wicked with the K&N on as well. shame the weather was so bad when you came down! i put the 4-2-1 on the k10 yesterday and its crazy fast now wont grip in 2nd gear very well

putting the 4-2-1 i sold you on yours should make a vast improvement!

 

[curtis]

yeh cool, ill look at getting that done soon! thanks again!

 

[MICRASKYLINE]

Car is looking great!!

I do miss it!!!

 

[curtis]

thanks....

 

[curtis]

here the exhaust maifold i got from speedle....after an 8 hour drive...lol

hopefully this will all be fitted in the new year! with a back box to finish it off at the back!

 

[Speedle]

you have the flange upside down in the 2nd pic lol the 2 hols go at the top the one hole should be at the bottom

 

[curtis]

yeh those were only to show someone what needs doing really....lol....im not the best of welders!

 

[Speedle]

ah thats cool mate just wanted to make sure dont want the thing upside down

 

[curtis]

haha have the exhuast going over the roof of my car!

 

[Speedle]

now that would be awesome

 

[Robert]

Nice, your going to the Exeter meet aren't you?
Should be good to see it

 

[curtis]

lol i wanted to have the exhasut maifold etc done for the meet but i haven't got the funds till after xmas

 

[curtis]

does anyone know a REALLY GOOD seat/interior cleaner....mine are soooooo dirty.

 

[Speedle]

i use some foam spray stuff you can get from motorworld spray it on wipe clean with a damp sponge hoover and leave to dry, most upolstry stuff works well.

you got any stain like oil etc? or just general grime?

 

[curtis]

its all sorts of stuff....ent got a clue what most of it is....lol

 

[ollyc98]

Get it done professionally it's well worth the cost.

 

[K10]

s'pose thats the best way

I bought a minging old seat out of a scrapper and it came up a treat with the turtlewax foam stuff (green can with yellow brush on top) from halfords

only trouble is i've left it in my dining room cos i cant be arsed weighing up fitting it, and the cat now has a new bed

 

[curtis]

One for speedle really, but for other as well:

On the standard carb with the K&N the sound was amazing....really loud for a standard exhaust.

But now with the 1.3 carb and K&N its quite standard sounding?!? :down:

 

[Speedle]

really? i always thought it was quiet loud but then im getting old and i like peace and quiet no idea why it wouldnt be as loud mate... its a bigger carb so in theory it should be noiser....

 

[curtis]

its puzzled me too!

i used to be able to do this thing when my old carb was on:

Rev really high
turn off ignition
floor the accelerator
and a big waoaarmmmmm would happen....really loud
then maybe a slight back fire


Now Nothing happens? :sleepy:

I wouldnt do things like that if i were u, I used to backfire my land-rover (turn off ignition and back on) and it ended up blowing my back-box apart. If can also bend your valves!

 

[Speedle]

agreed stop being a chav!

and!!! get those bloody wheels sorted out!

 

[curtis]

i don't try and back fire my car.....thats not what this does....

what about wheels?!?

 

[joesouthgate]

if u floor it as u switch the ignition off it will be pumping fueln into the exhaust which may be igniting

 

[curtis]

yes thats called backfiring....but im on about having the igintion off....

i don't do it that offen....it was just example about the sound of my car!

i know the risks of bending values etc................................

 

[Super S 1.5T]

Car is looking great!!

I do miss it!!!

Yep i miss it too, it was a good clean car Waiman.

how long has it been since you bought this from me?

 

[curtis]

and!!! get those bloody wheels sorted out!

huh!??
