[slyboogie]

they probably wouldn't and they'd probably scrape the floor, as well as set my interior alight, but all good other wise!

I'm going for a stright through to backbox anyway.

 

[Speedle]

finally a proper looking exhaust! your previous attempts were.... well bad! but that looks much better mate! top job!

Those previous attempts were important lessons lol. That's why this one turned out so perfect.

 

[ollyc98]

New stuff

Well I've been shopping and have bought some new discs and pads for £39.80

SHINEY

And some Hella Comet 500's which are going to look sweet on the front

Hmm, round lights look terrible on square cars! but get some photos up when they're fitted

They looked good on my Land Rover, but not sure about a micra

um? you sure????

 

[quickdraw]

Nope, guess again It's near the top of the engine. That's pretty much a dead giveaway.



Why have a side exit (which i'm guessing is straight through without backbox) then pack it with wirewool? any power gained would be lost again surely lol.

Someone should do some long tubes down the sides of their micras. Like the proper side exhausts, like this:

That'd look mental on a slammed micra i reckon. Especially a black one. As for speed bumps though...

mine are side exit on either side! though dont run down the length of the car

ill upload a piccy when i get home!

suppose you can just see em on this one!

oh how FAR does the car look from being finished haha!

it has had alot done since then though

my other doors are back on - front arches are now on - its all sprayed back to primer - all front end rebuilt. jeez

suppose it does show i do some work to it now and then, just feels very slow especially now im so far away from it

 

[Arnold]

um? you sure????

I'm on about bolt ons you tart, not factory designed!

 

[Speedle]

well every k10's internal front bumper mounts has the recess's to bolt on front fogs (as seen on the ST), it just means cutting a hole in the bumper and a bit of filling

 

[K10]

I think round spot lamps will look ace mate, go for it

I have some to go on my K10 (had them about 18 months) but still not got round to it

 

[ollyc98]

I hear the comet 500's were used on some old skool fords, RS I think.

 

[K10]

were they? never knew that.

Funnily enough I put a pair of comet 500's on my mk1 escort great lamps for their size

 

[ollyc98]

Fitted brakes today, first time I've ever done it and only took 45mins. The main problem was getting the old disk off. Would've got pics of the shineyness but it was dark lol.

 

[ollyc98]

Got an 8-ball air freshener to match my gear knob. Also got another monkey, this one needs a name, any ideas?

Not really mods I know but still.

 

[frank]

davina

 

[Arnold]

Mate if anyone saw that, they'd think a girl owned it!

 

[ollyc98]

davina

That's the name of my dad's gf so wouldn't work.

It's in there cos I was de-misting the windows with it and it kinda stayed in there.

 

[frank]

oliviaC98, in answer to question and comment !

 

[ollyc98]

I shall exchange it for a more manly monkey then *runs off crying*
It's the closest I get to riding with a girl lol.

 

[Speedle]

Nigel! call it nigel

 

[ollyc98]

Nigel! call it nigel

Perfec'

 

[ollyc98]

Went out this morning and installed some spring assistors, no more bottoming out round corners:

 

[ollyc98]

Called in sick today to fit my retro aerial as the original is broken:

 

[Retepetsir]

Wtf, called in sick to fit an aerial?!

 

[ollyc98]

Well I got man-flu too, and I hate my job, so yeah.

 

[joesouthgate]

Well I got man-flu too, and I hate my job, so yeah.

lol, ru gonna smooth the original aeriel? U should have roof mounted it would of looked better imo

 

[ollyc98]

I tried to roof mount but the wire wasn't long enough, I am eventually gunna smooth it when I do all the rust and other body work.

 

[ollyc98]

New HT leads:

 

[alien10]

looking good mate, reminds me i must put mine in lol

 

[joesouthgate]

Looks good. have u got a link for the HT leads?

 

[ollyc98]

Found them on ebay for £6.99, they are champion LS08's.

 

[ollyc98]

Started doing my white dial conversion today, will eventually have orange needles and personalized fuel and temp gauges.

 

[alien10]

sounds good mate, be good to see it when its done, thinking of doing custom dials myself

 

[JStone]

I tried to roof mount but the wire wasn't long enough

Wires can be extended.

 

[ollyc98]

Sprayed the rocker cover I got for £5 from a local scrappy.
Took longer to clean up than it did to spray, I'm gunna buzz over the NISSAN with a dremel to make it shiney:

 

[curtis]

that boss should have arrived by now olly, any ideas?

 

[ollyc98]

Oh yeah I meant to put a post up, I have received the boss but am trying to find short enough bolts for it. Other than that it's perfect, thanks.

 

[pjg1979]

Looking Good Olly, you seem to be doing stuff to your car faster than what I can do to mine, lol. Hopefully that cherrybomb should be on today.

 

[curtis]

Oh yeah I meant to put a post up, I have received the boss but am trying to find short enough bolts for it. Other than that it's perfect, thanks.

Think i might have some, but i threw everything into a tesco bag when i took it out, they were counter sunk and everything, so they sit in the steering wheel.

If i find all 6, you want me to post em to you?

 

[ollyc98]

That'd be good, I had a look on ebay but couldn't find any the right size.

 

[curtis]

ok cool, ill let you know when i post them out, hopefully be able to do it tonight...

 

[ollyc98]

Rocker cover:

 

[alien10]

nice looking rocker cover, what spray did you use to do that with

 

[ollyc98]

Hycote VHT paint, I cracked it when I put it on though so need to respray.

 

[alien10]

cool, might have to try that myself

 

[joesouthgate]

I keep on meaning to do mine! I sandblasted it back ages ago then left it in my shed!

 

[ollyc98]

I used an orbital sander and dremel. You have to put it in an oven but it releases toxic fumes as it cures.
