Where I mainly drive is full of hills which doesn't help, and to be honest even if i push the car hard it doesn't make much difference to the fuel economy. My 1993 1.3 K11 seems to be far more economical... strange.

I used to get 50 miles for 10 quid :p I think now the car gets about 70 :)

I previously owned a 1997 1.0 K11, The top half of the tank seems to be bigger on the gauge than the top half. The top half would drop really slowly (cover about 180 miles) then the bottom half would drop really quickly (about 120 miles) the last quarter seems to drop extremely rapidly once you...

You must have missed the post underneath :p Needless to say as soon as my girlfriend received the car it was promptly removed :rolleyes:

No worries, I'll let you know if I am ever back in town :) I've just started a thread about the Super S (as I am now keeping this one open for any work I do on Mikey Mk1) you should check it out!

Rights guys, I have got big plans for this car :) I am planning on keeping it pretty much how it is for about the next year, apart from a few relatively minor changes. BUT I am saving up to turbo it next year, I would like to do it so that the car is reliable at high boost, which I guess...

Thanks :) The wheels are 15" ET40 7J, I think the tyres are 165/50s iirc but I will have to double check, found out today that it is on 35mm Spax Springs as well, it handles pretty nicely - much more responsive than my first K11 :p

I read somewhere that it is a guard for the aircon unit if fitted, I don't have aircon but I left mine on because it doesn't weigh anything and stops stones from hitting the first cat (although it doesn't have a mark on it which would indicate my theory is flawed) :rolleyes: In general I...

Okay everyone, finally got round to taking some pics of the Super S (after polishing it of course). I've used my brothers DSLR but the pics came out a bit darker than I wanted.. You may need to turn the brightness up on your screen to view them properly.. Enjoy :)...

Fair play ;) It looks good with the splitter on the front, really suits it. If you keep your eyes peeled there are some real steals that pop up on ebay every now and then, like the brand new and unpainted Super S bumper I got for £15 :) If your going for the old school Jap look some head lamp...

Hopefully I will be coming back with the Super S in August to continue at Uni. Would be great to meet up with a fellow Micra enthusiast if and when I am back :) I never thought I would like the K11 in silver, but yours works really well, especially with the black Rota's ;)

Looks good! Would look even better with the door strips removed and body coloured bumpers ;)

My 5dr K11 has the exact same issue (the drivers door is a different shade of red to the rest of the car) :rolleyes:

I did say "my entire life" :p

Looks great :) K11s look totally different in Black, gives them a whole different character! Now I am going to spend my entire life on ebay until I find one of those number plate surrounds :rolleyes:

Just some updates on Mikey Mk1; finally got round to colour coding the boot grab handle and repairing / respraying the bumper to get rid of the black strip and all of the cracks and scrapes it has picked up in its lifetime. Looks far better imo :) Not too bad considering it came out of a...

Hey everyone, just been clearing through old stuff before I move out of my house in Swansea to go back to London; I have a red bonnet (the one shown in the early posts in this thread) and a red bumper (the one that got cracked) going spare. The bonnet is in relatively good nick (bit of dodgy...

Thanks :) I go to University in Swansea but I live in London. I am just about to move back to London because University has finished now, where abouts in South Wales are you if you don't mind me asking?

The spare Winter wheels I got for my Super S (15" with 195s) are black and they look pretty good on it, the silver you already have I think would also work well though :)

I think I will buy a spare 1.3 block to work on. I am scared to mess around with the Super S I just bought because it is running flawlessly. It would be nice to have a block to work on where I don't need to worry about breaking it :rolleyes: It would be also be nice to see how the cams and stuff...
