My little 1,0 16v facelift from Italy

[MicraItaly]

this is my little 1999 micra k11 1.0 16v.
Mods done:
Sparco -30mm springs
Adjustable Koni Yellow Suspension
Sparco Upper Strut Brace
Whiteline Lower Arm Bar and Camber Kit
Pulsar GTI-R Front Brake System (with EBC green pads) And 14" Pulsar Rims
Mods to do:
Nismo rear spoiler and a sabelt steering wheel (at the moment they are in my bedroom)
I think to swap for a 1,3 + turbo or for an SR20DE (on next year I hope)
and some other mods like rear brake system with discs, 15" rims with 195/50 R15 tyres, black headligths, carbon fiber hood, two sparco rally seats.
some photos :laugh:

yep! high revving micra!

 

[Martijn]

Nice car and mods,if i was you i should take a SR20DE...vvl are weak....talking from experience..

 

[MicraItaly]

weak? you're talking about the low level of torque of this engine? I think that with the low weight of micra that's not a problem...

 

[Martijn]

I mean the hole engine,SR20DE are a lot stronger, for the price of 1 vvl block you can buy a lot of upgrades for the SR20DE.(i got this all from a nissan specialist,worked by nismo in JP)
And ceap money over.

 

[kostas007]

hello it looks really nice.
i have a question.
the shicks you have are the yellow koni?coz they look black(?)
i think i have the same but im not sure.
are the rear shocks black too or they are yellow?

 

[MicraItaly]

yup! they are yellow koni shocks!
rear ones are yellow, fronts are black because the external cover it's from the stock shock (I have difficult to explain in english what we do on front shocks to fit them in the micra... I'll post the instruction picture that comes with shocks tomorrow)

 

[MicraItaly]

little and big nissan :blush:

Hi! Yesterday i was in Italy. Went to Trieste and Udine for a ride with a friend and his girlfriend! Man you italians are crazy drivers
We saw two Pagani Zondas. A bright orange one and behind it was a totaly naked carbon one! OMG!
Nice progress on the K11!

Greetings,
Alex

[alexzaki]

A? maybe some pics would help, as i dont have a clue how that looks. You men the screws holding the whole pedal or what? Probably there's a quick fix or atleast change the whole gas pedal with another one from scrapies fwn

 

[MicraItaly]

[MicraItaly]

bushing links kit from strongflex.pl (yellow kind, the hard ones)

next step -> 15" wheels with 195/50 -50 or -60 springs (anyone has photos of micra k11 on these springs?) and something about 4 pot calipers from a Silvia s14a with 280mm discs on the front...

 

[Daniel]

My Micra was running pretty low on Apex springs and KYB shocks, think it was about 70mm/80mm. And I was running 15x7.5 alloys on stretched 195/45/R15s. I can upload a pic if you'd like?

yep!!!

(u sell the springs?)

btw

Ilike yellow rubber

 

[r-reg-sr]

any diference with yellow rubber ?

 

[MicraItaly]

I drive it only one time, the sensation at the steering wheel is of more precision. (and little less comfortable about assorbing street's irregularity)

Really interested to see how this turns out!

195 FTW. These are my favourite wheels ever.

 

[MicraItaly]

I'm looking for these

because new wheels on the front are out of the body about 3,5 centimetres
any suggestions?
