Shame, those black rims looked awesome! Nice looking car though!

 

[Skribble]

did you have any problems with the alloys rubbing the arches mate?

p.s
nice looking k10

Shame, those black rims looked awesome! Nice looking car though!

agree! those alloys looked wicked.

 

[boyracergt]

the wheel stuck out from the side of the car a lot and when i climbed into the car the wheels were just about touching the arches so im going for some 14s now

 

[pjg1979]

Nice looking K10 you have there, shame about the Rims as they look sweet.

 

[ollyc98]

I had one of those amps, they are actually only 19watts per chanel not 200. Nice car though

 

[james betley]

like the wheels and a nice car too

 

[nexussteve]

Great to see another K10!

 

[jc1234]

same car i got but mines black, need to do somthing about them seats, i called them scotish seats, i see you got your ground the same place too, it does make an excellent ground.

 

[boyracergt]

got bored so decided to debadge the grille tell me what you think!

 

[boyracergt]

also fitted tinted front repeaters which i think look ace

 

[joesouthgate]

they look ace mate (Y) Blend in with the bumper well.

 

[Micra 110]

Looking good, keep it up

 

[boyracergt]

quick update fitted my custom rear lights today

 

[joesouthgate]

they look good (Y)

 

[andy88]

nice car (Y)

ive always wondered what tinting the top half of the lights would look like, think i might do it to mine now

 

[boyracergt]

quick update im now keeping the micra although it needs a new bumper and rear lamp after a reversing incident.

 

[nismo]

got a spare bumper in east grinstead

 

[boyracergt]

quick update: im half way through making a open mouth grille so should hae that on soon, should be getting some mx5 minilite style alloys in black and silver soon and got bord so bodycoloured part of my dash

 

[boyracergt]

well im hoping to get the car looking good for fast show in march as its going on show with my local car club. ive got a pile of parts that need fitting/painting/modifying.
This includes a open mouth grille which im going to fit some square foglights in, a standard bumper which im cutting the middle out smoothing and meshing and fitting a granada splitter and then bodycolouring, refitting the spoiler, spraying back bumper and mirrors and then getting some alloys and fitting the bonnet scoop. ive also got to carpet my twin sub boxes run some new power cable to the amps an fit two more amps one for the other sub and one for the 6x9s.....so tons to do and little time after i got the body sorted then il start on performance mods

 

[boyracergt]

had some time off so got started on the front bumper and grille pics so far........... comments welcome

 

[k10franny]

Looking good ive done a front bumper like this before !

 

[Makrakin08]

they bumpers look minted! i like that

 

[Baz]

No thats a disgrace I'm sorry,could be a nice k10

 

[Speedle]

i think the pictures is letting your work down chap get us a picture from a wider angle grill looks ace!

 

[k10franny]

Sorry only pictures i can find of it there is a finished one some were of it sprayed !

 

[Speedle]

ah ok mate, well either way the grill looks superb just like the jdm style grill always meant to do that but never got round to it on any of my k10's

 

[Arnold]

ah ok mate, well either way the grill looks superb just like the jdm style grill always meant to do that but never got round to it on any of my k10's

It was done on mine but pictures were never shown on here makes the car look great with the grille like that

 

[superls]

It was done on mine but pictures were never shown on here makes the car look great with the grille like that

they were ive seen them, lol

 

[joesouthgate]

So have i, althought they dissapeared fairly quickly, its the same pic as Kristian has in his thread for grilles anyway

 

[boyracergt]

another update test fitted bumper today although looks pants with no mesh, also sprayed the silver part of my sidelights and i think it looks good comments please also put a sexy picture of the crumple zone ............lol

 

[boyracergt]

got the car ready for modded s.e tomorrow although i rushed it all so its all bodged the grills got dirt in the paint, the bumper only half sprayed and in black not white and the spoilers only held in by two bolts as i lost my drill bits and it wobbles slightly :doh: but heres pics comments please

 

[MicraFish]

I'm sure it will be fine mate - it's looks good!
Rear clusters look fab, although personally I'm not too keen on the grill... However it's your car, it doesn't matter about other people opinions!

 

[boyracergt]

pictures of the micra at modded s.e day went really well had a couple of people with annoying comments like "why bother" or the worst one "ere mate iz it a nova?" but most were good and had a couple of people smiling when i had the subs going

 

[ollyc98]

Nice to see you got that backbox on there, sounds good doesn't it

 

[boyracergt]

yep sure does its definatly a conversation starter when i start her up

 

[ollyc98]

I think with some adjustment it could sit straight although I prefer it off at an angle like that. Might want to slip some baffles into it come MOT time though

 

[joesouthgate]

Nice pics mate

 

[Speedle]

cool pics but i bet you've got some nice dents in the roof now...

as for peoples comments, with micra's you just have to learn to live with idiots like that. thats why i built my last micra, so when people said such things i could #### on there fire and wave goodbye as the twin webers made it take off although saying that i never had any negative comments about my last k10.

part of the reason i dont go to these car shows anymore, just full of chavs in pieces of crap who know f all about cars and think lexus lights are cool.....

 

[wgc_daz]

the front bumper reminds me of the ae86 front

very nice

 

[boyracergt]

quick update refurbed my steelies in tasty black and silver looks nearly as good as alloys and only cost 10 quid

 

[hoodedreeper]

love the new steelies!

 

[boyracergt]

finished the front bumper and it looks great transforming the look completely! comments please

 

[solarice]

makes the car look VERY happy

 

[squarepants]

one word...RETRO

 

[boyracergt]

had the mot and passed first time! had a couple of advisories including a rust hole in the rear wheel arch and the usual water in the headlamp but chuffed it also passed also the backbox i have on it went straght through which was a suprise as a treat for the micra its getting a nice 5speed and some yummy gearbox oil tomorrow

 

[Micra 110]

I like the way the front bumper has turned out, wheels are a neat idea too, looking pukka m8 (Y)

 

[boyracergt]

update fitted the 5 speed last thursday and the guy sold me a dud told me it was perfect conditon and ran nicely no noises! haha its even noisier then the old box whiring at idle and whinig at full chat so that annoyed me. then cleaned the car spotless for ptm show sunday, got up at 5 and left at 6 sunday after a minutes driving the downpipe decided it had had enough and snapped a couple of mm from the manifold joint. so had to turn back , i dumped it on the drive whilst a new front sections on its way which annoyed me even more , annoyed tho i am still cant wait to get him back on the road and got some great news a mate of mine has a mint 90 1l gs for sale and he only wants £50 for it so might be getting a nice little project car and my 4th k10 haha!

 

[boyracergt]

done....finished...kaput

well ive decided ive had enough with the micra. after needing a gearbox and new exhaust front section this month its broken down again thursday, an ignition or carb fault not sure yet as im too annoyed to look at it properly, its also got a starter motor that doesnt work sometimesand the biting point on the clutch is sky high so ive had enough going to fix it and stick it on ebay for 325 with 12months mot and 6 of tax. i really want to keep it but its cost me too much recently and its time to cut my loses and get some money back. might get a k10 when i have more money and skill to do the work and fabricating needed to mod one. but good news next car will definatly be a micra k11 so staying with the micra scene
