what did you do to your micra today ?

[solarice]

You could always revive your old build thread and show us in more detail how your superchargers fitted
All for science of course (twin charging project)

If only i could get a camera in (i'm aware how bad i was at documenting the fitting process). Buuuut it really just boils down to a few bolts, a couple bits of pipe and little bit of wiring.

I could say that for pretty much every car related modification going

I think you just need to top mount a T2 now ... turbo is the easy bit

lol. Nah i don't think there's any chance of getting a turbo anywhere in the engine bay...actually how far away can you get away from the engine bay before the parts are classed as in the street?

About 6 ft? You'll be alright with that
Im sure we a fancy manifold you'd get a turbo in... better luck in a K10 tho

Ah well we've got tons of room to play with then. Haha yeah tons of space in a k10 bay compared with the k11.

I'll ask for a few pointers when I start off

Could you not mount it where your manifold ends up that's where I would

What... Where it meets the middle section... Probably not the best place in my opinion x

 

[Low Rider]

Successfully test fitted a new 13" rim. Fit like a glove over the GTIR AD22VF brakes

Showoff

 

[chrisuk2009]

Getting a horrendous judder at high speeds. Really can't be arsed with this at the moment! Got my wheels rebalanced/swapped around and it's even worse. Gonna stop throwing money at the car.

Steering rack tie rod ball joint caused mine, after tracking/new tyres/wheel balance didn't help

 

[chrisuk2009]

I can feel the vibration through the floor at around 70, can feel it on your shins haha.

i was meaning the same design of manifold where its swept to the side. not the same exact manifold cz the turbo would be at the floor

Tbh there's probably one place it might fit. It would be sooooo tight though, i can barely get my hands in around that area now.

As long as your hands are as big as a T2 its alright

The stupid thing is all this chatter has had me staring in the engine bay, the last time i remember the same type of thinking a supercharger found its way in. If anything though i'd probably focus on getting a little bit more out the sc (there is spare boost lurking), plus i get funny enough looks when i say there's a sc on the little 1.3 as it is.

Its safer for my wallet to leave the doubling up to other members

I sense..

Modifications, boost and empty pockets in the new year

All that talk changed my 2 current projects. One is just a "why not" and the other was Neils fault

"seems like a good idea" is about the only reason i have for my build.

That's all you need eh. Led you to a 1 off K11

as i got 21 speedbumps one way and 17 the other way into college, if i lower the green beast would it be a good idea to get quick release on the bumper and just take it off and chuck it in the back before i get to college so i dont rip off the bumper?

Don't lower it that much then... Or man up and embrace the scrape

 

[Chris Huzzey]

gotta have it low, no point lowering it if its not low... and if you saw the variety in stupidness these speed bumps are you would understand...

Just do the slam-swerve like everyone else. I never had a problem even with some pretty monster speedbumps

theres this one that is literally like dropping off a wall hahah, ill give it a trial run when i go back

 

[Enuo]

Fronts wind up, can fit slightly longer springs on back if you need to raise it

 

[Chris Huzzey]

nah, im only going in on one day a week, want it low as possible hahah

 

[Huggy444]

If others have manages im sure you'll be fine, or make a massive under body guard and just slide over them

 

[Chris Huzzey]

only a weekend to go, this long waits coming to an end thank god haha

 

[Huggy444]

Surely you'd be better waiting a bit till silly lows? Insurance will be a pain no?

 

[Jen319]

Wdidt?
Reasured my baby that I still love her the most...as an Audi R8 going the opposite direction made me drool, a bit.

Just entrances to homebase then?

Once again sorry haha

Brilliant!
When I attack them, I get bumper scrape followed by the whole centre section of the exhaust scraping, followed by bumper scrape on the way down. Noisy as f*ck and makes everyone look. The Mrs got right embarrassed the other day, she said "look, that guy's taking a photo!" I laughed as she tried to hide.
There is nowhere to hide inside these glass expanses!
Edit: I should clarify, the photo incident was as I was gashing over the floor f*ckers @ <1mph

 

[Kamarley]

Not a Micra but a client at work let me go sit in his gtr then he took me out in it

LEEEEEAVVVEEE ITTTTT YEAHH!!!

So you're not insured atm? Oh.... Thought you where, my bad

 

[Chris Huzzey]

if i wait until im 18 from the quotes ive done i save about £300ish if i wait, might be more if its done over phone

 

[relisys77]

started building the exhaust hope to have it fitted on xmas day

 

[McMicra]

WDID? Went to scrappies with vic222

Discovered and this has probably already been mentions, but the fog lights from this almera fit the k11c second facelift bumpers perfect, havnt checked the mounts yet though

Mate just got a quote on a corsa *shock * he's 18 and a bit..... 500 quid for the year. No idea how

[Jordan27]

THIS HAPPENED! The one on the right is my grandfathers, badly parked in a small pub in the village where he lives. Mine is in the middle.

 

[jameslow88]

Came to a GRINDING stop at a round about, hazards on, poodled off the exit and looked under the car, this thing was being dragged along making the loudest metal grinding sound.
This is what happens when you are stupid low :/

 

[Clodo]

Wdid..... Well over the past few days Tom and i have been rather busy on thursday we picked up our keys! And spent our first night at skyfall! With alot of overloading and even more scrapping and tyre scrub, lots of hideous rattling and some stomache turning noises coming from under the cars we have very nearly in two days moved the entire of our possession inside our poor Millie and Mildred, just all the car parts and tools left to bring down!

Home sweet home!
