Right so after another few months since the hack, when my last blog was lost I have finally got round to making another one, comments and criticisms welcome

Here are some pics to show how she has changed over the couple of years i've owned her....

Still got some more pics to come, almost finished my sub and amp install now, parcell shelf is back in and fake back seat is built. Waiting for delivery of some black carpet this week, hopefully get it finished by next weekend!

That is one ####inly nice car. How hard did you find it to do some of that stuff like the doorcards and speakers in the back panels? I'd love to have the balls to do that to mine.

 

[Primal_Concrete_Micra]

the doorcards were pretty easy really, its all about taking your time to get it looking nice! It was the same with the back speaker pods really as a guy called Rich on here made the frames and fibreglassed them for me! It was just a case of covering them and wiring up the speakers

 

[richie]

looking really good mate, the pods look really nice all trimmed up.

 

[Primal_Concrete_Micra]

yeh they are looking brill, thanks again for making them for me, if you do make some more, the holes in the original quarter could have been slightly bigger as it was really fiddly gettin the nuts on the bolts for the speakers. Other than that top quality job you did

 

[joesouthgate]

Love it (Y) The splitter finished off the front end (Y)

 

[jim_bling]

looks great mate wana do mine in white letherette did you pad them out at all when you recovered the door cards

 

[Tom 1.0]

this is an awesome car,

i really like the splitter, but i wont ask what it is because i dont want to steal your idea lol

 

[squarepants]

splitter is a polo 6n one (mk4) its been used before a few times

 

[Primal_Concrete_Micra]

Yeh your right its a polo splitter, can't believe it took me so long to get one, really easy to fit too, only took about 20 minutes!

This is a nice K11, i like the interior

 

[funky2nite]

WOW - some decent work right there mate! keep it up!

 

[Primal_Concrete_Micra]

Thanks guys, i really wish this rain would hold off so i can finish my install! At least the subs wired in and its all hidden, just gotta make it look good now and wire in the other 2 6x9s, grrrrr

 

[pjg1979]

Ooooo, I like that covering on your parcel shelf, I have been thinking on what to do to mine but that looks good. Also like the door cards as well.

I reckon you should paint that plastic surround behind the steering wheel blue as well.

Great Micra!

How much does the weather suck at the moment? Todays rain has delayed the finish of the install, hopefully tomorrow will be a bit better and i can finally finish it

 

[1.3GX]

i notice everytime i try and get something done with my the car it starts to rain lol

ace looking micra btw!

 

[Primal_Concrete_Micra]

Need to have it done by the time i go to Bloodstock in a couple of weeks time, want everything looking very unnoticable! Thanks for the good comments

 

[Primal_Concrete_Micra]

So after much work yesterday, and a few final tweeks this evening, work on my install is complete! Unfortunately it's a little dark to take any pics tonight so that will have to be tomorrow.
Time for a cruise soon to test out the bass! Coincidentally i received some new cds in the post today to try out my system

 

[Krazy]

Can't believe i've never seen you about.. now i've seen the car will have to keep an eye out, looks really good

 

[Primal_Concrete_Micra]

Just got some photos of the install.....enjoy

 

[micra_tom]

I gotta say i absolutly love it!!...keep it up..love that interior so much!!

 

[RAH77]

Loving the choice of them 6x9's, theloudest.com make some of the best speakers (including my pair).

How loud/bassy/shaky/db does your system sound?? using 4 6x9s and sub, is it a good sounding sub?? deep and clear??

 

[Primal_Concrete_Micra]

To be honest its my first sub so i have nothing to compare it too, i can turn it up as loud as i need to without any bad rattles or muffled sound! I have the 6x9s in the shelf running off the amp too which keeps the levels a bit better than before they were wired up!

Shame to say it though, i'll only be driving her for the rest of the month, just commited to buying a celica and i cant afford to run both! More than likely i will be stripping her as the sills aren't in the greatest of condition, and i dont think ill be offered the right price as it is!
