    Sam's 1st Project - Kylie the K11

    Over the past few days, I've been working on replicating a Jap-spec tailgate. This is how it came out, and I'm pretty bloody happy with it! [emoji16] But let me tell you, it was a f***ing ordeal [emoji1787][emoji36] Basically, everything that could go wrong, went wrong. Rain, broken tools...

    Ways of cleaning up my key

    Could fill in the Nissan and NATS logos with a paint marker? May be a bit tedious though, lol I've actually thought about 3d printing a cover for it myself, if I end up trying that I'll let you know ?

    K11 can they take E10 petrol?

    I was hesitant to put E10 in mine today after stopping at BP, so I chickened out and nearly ran the thing dry driving back to my local Applegreen for some E5 ? Super Unleaded seems ok then? I've never ran it but the general consensus seems that it's fine. Will have to try... might increase the...

    K11 can they take E10 petrol?

    Going by that post-2000 rule, the 2nd facelifts would be ok and the prefaces and 1st facelifts wouldn't? That seems a bit weird, and a bit unhelpful like you say, considering the only difference with the engine is the switch from dizzy to coilpacks (unless I'm mistaken)? As you said, wish...

    New to the forum

    The Corsa b coils are actually very nearly a straight fit I believe, I think you have to widen the part on the coilover that bolts to the bottom by like a few mm, and the top is a direct fit to the strut tower, iirc. I haven't done it mind so don't quote me hahaha. But yeah lots of members have...

    Tyre Recommendations?

    Yeah in fairness I probably won't notice much of a difference between tires at basic runaround level lol. They'll all be as ok as each other I suspect, as you say. I think I'll save the worrying for when I get alloys (Proxes TR1s potentially), so for now I'll just whack on whatever the local...

    Looking forward to this mate! I was looking at a purple preface myself before I got mine, but it was a bit too far away haha

    Tyre Recommendations?

    Hi all, I've recently come to realise that the cheapo tyres on my car are quite old (2009!!) and starting to perish. Plenty of tread still, but I'm looking to replace them in the near future. Does anyone have any recommendations? I really don't want anything special, literally just a street...

    Sam's 1st Project - Kylie the K11

    In the 8 months that I've owned my car, absolutely nothing has gone wrong with it. Well... that statement was true until a few days ago, when the wipers decided they didn't want to work together anymore. I went to put them on as normal, and the drivers side wiper stayed put whilst the...

    Sam's 1st Project - Kylie the K11

    It's valve cover time! Today I got the tired old valve cover all spruced up. It was actually much easier than I expected, nearly everything came off easily (which surprised me lol) and it was just as simple getting everything back on. This was my first time doing anything engine related so I...

    Sam's 1st Project - Kylie the K11

    Exams are finally done! I have all the time in the world now, so I've ordered some paint for the valve cover. Went for this gloss red from Hycote, because as we all know, red immediately adds 200bhp :cool: Also grabbed a new valve cover gasket and some new bolts to replace the screws, as I...

    RADIO BEEPING AT ME X REG MICRA S

    In my experience, the beeps just mean the signal is poor. Whenever my radio became crackly and fuzzy during an elevation change, it would start beeping, and would stop once the signal was strong again. Simple solution was to just turn it off and wait a few minutes for the signal to come back...

    The £80 Micra

    Can't get enough of that launch control shot, flames coming out of a Micra feels illegal :ROFLMAO: Hoping the track day goes well when it comes mate!

    Sam's 1st Project - Kylie the K11

    Just thought I'd do another update, cause I haven't been on here in a little while... Not much has really been happening with Kylie recently! It's mainly just cause of my final A-Level exams looming (already had two, three to go) so I haven't had the time to do anything to her. I take Maths...

    Repainted and refurbed steels

    Hahaha yeah definitely the best set of spares I've seen [emoji23] Minilites look awesome on Micras so it's a win win!

    How viable is a 1l as a track car?

    Nice one, looks in really good nick! Much better than mine hahaha. If I'm right in saying the weight difference between the lightest and heaviest trims across all K11s is like 50kg or something so it's really nothing to worry about too much. ?
