The TPPC K11

[freeze19]

Hy everybody .
First a little more about me : I'm Jérémi, I'm 21 and I'm from France (correze).

So the micra now. It's a K11 lagoon proudly powered by its CG10DE and its procession of 55hp. I bought it 2 years ago. Here is at the beginning :






But why TPPC : because Touche Pas P'tit Con ( don't touch little as***le)


I plan to do something light, fun to drive, fast in corners.

Modifications :
-Wiechers sport strut bar (Alu)
-Wiechers sport lower arm bar (Alu)
-Front swaybar (from 1.3l)
-Koni yellow shocks
-Apex spring (-35mm)

To do :
-homemade short shifter
-homemade exhaust manifold
-homemade airbox
-rollcage
-bucket seat
-starcup bumpers
-lightening
....

I'm going to do something like that (with my seedlines instead of grids):





_____________________________________________________________

Now, what I've already done


Koni and apex spring :

assembly :

With the thumb wheel to adjust the hardness :

After the car was like that :

We can't really see the difference whit this picture ^^.


First stage to save weight, remove the rear seat :

Speedlines alloys (from renault 9 turbo) :

I have to paint them, but don't now how. I probably paint them in white, but I also think about black, bronze or something more fun like yellow...


Last things I do :

Put the Weichers strut bar and lower arm bar :

and I remove side protective mouldings (dont know how to say in English)

Et voila, I hope this thread will please you, and sorry for my poor english.

Wellcome! How are the koni's working?

In front, you just have to use the thumb wheel to make them harder :

More complicated in the back because you must get them off :
you have to compress and twist at the same time.

There are 4 positions (one position every 180°), the softest is just a little harder than OEM, the harsest is really...hard ^^

Because it's my daily, I put the back in first position (softest) and front in second position. I have them for one years, I've make approximately 25 000km and they are still new.
It's not very expensive, and It is a very good alternative in coilovers when we make few trackdays.

very nice jeremi and welcome

 

[jk9194]

[freeze19]

Thanks guys !

I forgot the photo of the lower arm bar :

And this morning, I trapped a bird with my bumper :

He is ok now. Just a little stunned after "crash" ^^

 

[Squizza]

thinks your car should be called tweety... remember that real old cartoon guys???

 

[freeze19]

^^ In france its Titi (the cat in called Grosminet)

But I think I attract birds :

(that my knee ^^)

 

[Sunburn]

Very nice! and seems that we have the same TJ4 colour^^

 

[Squizza]

haha birdy

Some news :

Alloys are sanded :

And, because I plan to do a fake Star-Cup, why I wouldn't do a Fake Nismo :


The photoshop is bad, but I like the idea.



Edit : Better like that ^^ thank to Wannabe, a "micra-addict" member :

I found a radiator grill :

Cut it a little :

I have to finish it but, I already like

 

[sr_steve]

should open mouth the square grill. those look like a smiley face to me lol. each to there own

 

[freeze19]

Some news !

I work on the radiator grill :

It was really hard to do this because it was a pre-facelift grill, so I had to cut a lot of it to do something straight.
I don't know how that's going to finish....

 

[freeze19]

I have to finish the paint and put a grill, but ( I like it but it's badly made)

 

[Harlen]

Great work, I really love those wheels too!

 

[GazzaMicra]

Very nice car!

 

[Enuo]

Actually I like the open later pre facelift grill, it looks more stock than an open square grill.

Hy everybody , some news. I changed the air filter, fuel filter, lambda sonde and finally put news spark plugs (bosh super4) and then clean a little the engine bay to remove the rest of salt from this winter :

And re-polish a little the camshaft cover :

Soon, I shall take care of the wheels.



I also test how many kms I can do. Result : 620kms
I would have without doubts been able to do 650 before being out of fuel.
Knowing that I made many city (approximately 150km) I think that I would easily do 750km, and that is really annoying for my father who makes not much with a more recent car and 20 liters more.

I've them on my car! very good compromise for street and few trackdays

Some airbox news :

I isolated it with alu tape. I think it's more psychological than efficient but I was bored ^^


I also begin to think about my homemade airbox :

It will be in place of the battery. I have to rework on inlet and outlet.

 

[Huggy444]

Oooh what CAD program is that? Airbox looks good too

 

[freeze19]

That's Catia V5

some modifications :

The top part is ok but have to work more on the inlet.

I use CATIA v5 myself, using surfacing?

 

[freeze19]

yes that's surfacing (gsd, but i also use part/assembly design, gsa, freestyle....)

 

[Sdperkins]

Nice one, yeah I use more part/assembly still learning my way around surfacing. By the looks of it your better than me

Hy, some news:

I did a flat floor for the rear :

The carpet is coming soon.


And I have to change the wheel nuts for long ones, the
screw thread is M12x1.25 ?

 

[Huggy444]

Thread Sounds right to me

 

[freeze19]

Some news :

New bolt for the speedline

carpet is in

I finally order an adjustablepanhard rod (whiteline) on rallynuts. After a month of wait, because whiteline took its time to deliver rallynuts.
But now it's home, and surprise, it's a monster :

it seems really big !
when at the same length as the oem:

And one of the bolt hole is too big.
So, definitively not the good one.
I took my best french accent to call Rallynuts, they say its not their fault (and I agree, it's whiteline's)
They sent me an another one and they take back this one, I don't have to pay anything.
So, very satisfied with rallynuts !

One of the holes should be 12mm the other 17 mate.

 

[freeze19]

yes, I compared with a guy on a french forum, The rod is too long and the bolt hole is more than 18mm (12 for the other)
