[hoodedreeper]

Left work today and realised how low she now sits...

 

[Shaun]

[pjg1979]

Criiickeee, how low can you go. Those Wheels Are Very Loud Chris. Quite like them you should get snow tyres on them ready for next winter, lol.

 

[Manny]

yeah that is quite low. you want be safe driving over something like in the middle of the road it would end up hitting the bumper or splitter depending how big it is. is it 80mm drop?

 

[hoodedreeper]

lowered 70mm on shocks and springs

 

[Seb_]

Fat chick = the car will really scrape !
That keychain is SO jdm.
Great work as always !
Cheers
Seb

very impressive hooded, like the door trims, short shifter and the bonnet lifters. wish i had it on mine lol.

 

[kostas007]

[jim_bling]

looking good mate just not fussy with the wheels this is making me want to get another micra now

 

[hoodedreeper]

Display bottle is now in!

 

[Manny]

[jim_bling]

[pjg1979]

Chris, here's a link to Total Nissan, get your car featured mate.

TOTAL NISSAN Feature my Car

Good Luck, loving that fake NOS bottle, have you set you those LED's yet with the control box I sold you?

 

[hoodedreeper]

Only got the holder back last night,and fixed it in straight away so havent had time to do the LEDs.

But i will be wiring the LEDs in soon once i get a spare day to do it

 

[hoodedreeper]

[insert Flo Rider Music here]
Micra got LOW,LOw,Low,low....[/end music]

I got bored

 

[Manny]

yeah thats is quite low, low, low, low. you gonna take the splitter off?

 

[Stani1029]

manny theres no point he's on a slope so it will be higher really once sitting flat

i know but not all roads and streets are flat right?

 

[hoodedreeper]

If you scroll near the top,theres a pic of it at my work and it sits that low

 

[Stani1029]

i know but not all roads and streets are flat right?

yeah but then it would lose a good 50mm if you were to take it off. my micra on coilovers and a splitter sat 10mm off the ground. now that was low it was like a plough!

 

[joesouthgate]

Looks good mate. Doesn't matter if you scrape it anyway as its just black plastic, it will flex.

 

[micra_tom]

Just read all the way through your blog Hoodreeper, Im just in awe of how much work you have put into this mate. Still cant get over them wheels, in my head it just should work, but it so does! Love the interior as well dude, a real inspiration.

Right thats enough of me blowing your trumpet!

Keep it up mate!! (Y)
Tom

 

[hoodedreeper]

Tahnks Tom Really appreciate the feedback! Plenty more updates to come, including this week

 

[McCheung]

nice work mate love the red lines in the dash area and around the doors.

keep up the good work.

 

[hoodedreeper]

Ive actually found some wheels i like! Decisions decisions!

baring in mind these come in Black as standard,so spraying would have to be done as an extra afterwards:

 

[Shaun]

to be honest i still prefer your wheels now... but black looks better in my opinion for these

 

[Manny]

the first and the third pictures look good. i would just get them in black. will you have to spay or an extra for them in red?

 

[r-reg-sr]

1st-3rd look the look
but still a matter foryour taste that shiny silver always gets me

 

[hoodedreeper]

They come black,i'd have to get them sprayed Red

 

[kostas007]

how did you paint your interrior like this?

 

[hoodedreeper]

dipped a paint brush in some hammerite and flicked it

Small Update...

Got these made at ISTS:

 

[pjg1979]

That just gave me an idea, lol. just been on www.freetranslation.com and this is my License Plate, lol.

Y694 角馬

Okay there was Chinese lettering but it's not there anymore.

Wonder if it would be legal.

 

[hoodedreeper]

its actually:

C M B 66
N K11

(CMB being my initials,and 'N' for Nissan)

 

[hoodedreeper]

Massive update for you all!

Some may know that my Smooth Boot was cracked badly (crap welding!)

Now looks like this:

 

[jim_bling]

likin the spoiler but regards to the wheels i think it wont suit bling wheels as its more of a rally look you have going on

 

[hoodedreeper]

The wheels will deff fit in when the other bits from the body shop are done

 

[ribbit]

god i love this car, ill give you a polo GT for it

no seriously great car mate, if i could build something half as good as this id be happy

 

[ferritboy]

Just read through this over the past 2 hours!!! Excellent work Chris, really impressed by what it looked like in the very first picture and to how it looks now. Some really good original ideas going on. Some good photography aswell, keep up the good work mate and i will be one of many to see what on the cards next.... FB.

 

[Stani1029]

i still dont like that spoiler without the full nismo kit. just doesnt blend in imo.

 

[hoodedreeper]

Had a lil photoshoot with a couple of mates,thought i'd share the photos:

 

[hoodedreeper]

Rang the supplier at work to place the order,conversation went like this:

Me: Hello,i'd like to place an order for a set of Calibre Dubs please...
Supplier: Yeah sure,what car will they be going on?
Me: Nissan Micra
Supplier: What year is it on?
Me: 1999
Supplier: Im sorry but they wont fit...
Me: What do you mean they wont fit?
Supplier: They'll stick out the arch 1 inch
Me: i can assure you they WILL fit my car...
Supplier: Im sorry to say but they wont,you'll need to do arch work
Me: To my calculations the offset is 30,my car is ET38. They'll stick out 14mm more than what my curreny alloys are
Supplier: Your current alloys must be 15x6j...
Me: No,they're 15x7j and fitted fine,infact they sank in the arch
Me: Its listed on your Configurator that these wheels WILL fit my car
Supplier: Thats just a general configurator,unfortunately doesnt mention if arch work is required
Me: But these WILL fit my car with no problems
Supplier: Ok,looks like you've done your measuring,what was the order number please?

Ownage! I've done my research and i know for a fact the wheels WILL fit,but they tried to prove me otherwise! Wheels should arrive this coming Tuesday

 

[Shaun]

But wouldnt they still sell them to you anyways or was it because of the spigot ring etc.?

 

[pjg1979]

Chris, your Micra is the Mutts Nutts, a great photo shoot there as well.

I'll have to share with my mate at work as he's recently bought new brakes, springs and induction kit for his MX-5.

 

[hoodedreeper]

Nah because the pertrude the arch,wont stop me though

 

[markbognor]

That MX-5 is cracking! Have you got a link to a build thread/blog type thing?
