Arnold, only if you can get the power down ;)

Well, this has the makings of a good national meet next year!

I'm quite confident i'l be able to get the power on the road. Little bandit had the same problem and still managed 11/12 second quarters!

I'll have less power, and more weight - so hopefully that'll help things :) The weight of the engine pushing the tyres down into the road?

I know Speedle is tempted to push his car further if it wasn't for potential gearbox / clutch problems!

apprently as mentioned in another thread today the k11 early 1.0 gearbox may fit the k10 if it does more power will not be a problem :)
 
What about the clutch mate? Can you get a Nismo K11 one?

Pete, i've moved your post to my thread. Don't wanna take this one off topic too much :)
 
anything that is japanesse made and not a nissan part can handle more power my exedy (jap) cluthc holds the power perfectly well hasnt slipped once yet
 
great stuff speedle :) would you say your k10 is almost finished now?

looks like you chaps will have an interesting time down the pod, when were y'all thinking of going? me and a couple of mates were thinking of going RWYB in april ish time, would be good to see your cars there :)
 
better pics of the seats there without the sun getting in the way

works pretty well with the gsx trim i think :)
 
very nice seats indeed!!!! the "10" looks stunning mate!!! upgrades all over ur car give it that extra "touch" thats what you notice more, well i do in mine anyway.

that 8 secs roughly is very nice :)
 
i know im a picture whore but i polished hoover and generally loved the 10 this weekend :) so i had to share the shine!

seriously though just had 4 new Falken fk512's fitted its amazing the difference new tyres makes feels like it has power sterring now, and grip which now means its quicker if only by a small margin :p
 
Wayhey for new tyres...! Much better than the Kuhmo's, I may get some of those Falkens for my standard SR alloys...piccies of them would be great :)
 
report it for moderator attention :) il leave it there otherwise this post wont make any sense!
 
here ya go pete

they are great tyres nice amount of grip nice light steering and reduced the road noise a great deal!

brake calipers are hammerite gold if i remember correctly, so yes he has cleaned and painted them!! just been different instead of the old red!

matt, i need your help soon oh micra master, and i want another go in yours! i have my k11 shell, with cage, and the old sr20de lump i want to get in there, not the turbo, but still mega fun!! fed up of the 1.3 i had last time!!

but your k10 dude, superior! and you know i love your micra's, always do!

How's it chavvy? It just looks cleaner than having oil and grease like mine lol. Should you become a chav/pikey in the near future i'll stop talking to you altogether =)

And why can't i call you a boob? Boobs are great, which if anything means i just complimented you =)

And yep, i'm a kid and i love it. nothing wrong with it. My dads 61 and no better than me so it seems to run in the family =)
 
Yeh thats what i was thinking keeps a nice balance between the black and white with the door posts being black oh and that nice new rubber :D how much were the tyres?
 
Nothing wrong with painting calipers, if they're decent! Painting rear drums bright red is a bit sad, but black always looks good.
 
what size alloys are you running matt? also what are the stats for the tyres? I've just got some 15's, need some tyres for them. where did you get your tyres & how much? cheers
 
so you may recall i mentioned i sheard a bolt in the head when fitting the 4-2-1, anyway i decided to get it sorted for piece of mine (even though it wasnt leaking) so new stud fitted now new exhaust manifold gasket (didnt have a new one at the time so reused the old one before)

spot the sheard bolt;

anyway all fixed and sorted properly now :) plus i wrapped the 4-2-1 in silver heat wrap which looks much better and also means the car permorms that little bit better :)

Yours isn't stainless though is it? I've heard wrapping the exhaust like that will corrode it quicker.
 
the 4-2-1 isnt stainless no the rest of the zorst is, i doubt it will rust faster tbh its already in very good shape ill keep an eye on it tho :)
