Man after my own heart

Heres my current Time Attack car:

And after a bottom end failure im re-doing the car and changing a few bits which works out very expensive and time consuming so in the mean time i decided to have a little project on the go to keep me in the 'modified' scene

Heres my super rare K10 Super S which has now got some Minilites, and guess what....im also going for a R6 bike carb conversion lol Maybe once we are done, be fun to meet up at a track or santa pod for some little micra laughs

**wile e. coyote** · 31-05-2010, 03:15

Before:

**wile e. coyote** · 31-05-2010, 03:16

With new minilites:

Will be lowering it some but have to make sure it doesnt scrape due to offset differences to standard wheels

**wile e. coyote** · 31-05-2010, 03:17

My bike carb set up (Done by Bogg bros) fitted to another Micra so it could be tested, but will be on mine soon with a fully custom 2" side exit exhaust

Will update each time i do something, good luck with your build mate and hopefully bump into you someday soon

**wile e. coyote** · 31-05-2010, 03:21

Ow also worth noting that my mate in our DevilTORQUE workshop is putting a 2L Primera engine in his K10, thought i was mad!!! Will post up some pics when it starts to take shape

Awesome mate that looks really mint! I felt a little bad when modding mine because iits mint!

Cant wait too hear how it goes on the bike carbs, it should be fun. I actually think my micra is more fun to drive than my missus corsa sri, quite nippy for a 998cc better than a 998cc mini for economy and acceleration.

At the mome.nt mine actually hits the floor really hard because its got rigid mudflaps and they only have an inch clearance

Yeah the zetec is still there becuase i looked at it the other day. Its an escort gti 1.8, the cvh sump and pickup have been fitted and also the cvh engine mounts. I belive we modded flywheel and clutch so it all worked and fitted the box. Its not got a water rail yet and when i took the engine out of my fiesta it needed a water pump. I need to double check but yoy could have the lot for 100 to get it out of our ways and then that way you have all the bits to use or use as a donor.

Cheers

Dude: thought that was normal for you!! What happened to the Wolfrace wheels?! I liked them

**swiftmini** · 31-05-2010, 11:24

The wolf race were going to be a temp fit until i banded the 12s but now i have 13s iam going to keep the 12s on and band the 13s. The wolfrace are too weak for permanent fix.

**wile e. coyote** · 31-05-2010, 16:19

Lol how weird that confused me as my name is Kev aswell

Mine is rubbing atm and after having the wheels on for all of one day i now have a bloody nail in the rear tyre

There is a Primera SRi P11 in a scrapyard about 25mins drive from Exeter.

**FULLER** · 31-05-2010, 19:51

I need to stop looking at this, i've just found myself lookin at k10's on ebay :-(

**swiftmini** · 01-06-2010, 08:00

Lol dont put ideas in my head lol, the 1.3 16v will be deadly enough haha

Anyone who is considering getting one of these wont be disapointed in the cheapness. Its still on the fuel that came in the tank and i have been using it all weekend lol

Just need to pull my finger out and get my instant gentleman back on the road

**swiftmini** · 01-06-2010, 08:04

**slider200** · 01-06-2010, 09:11

that will be a great drive way once the instants on there as well,
look forward to hearing how the micra goes, looks like a great laugh,

**swiftmini** · 01-06-2010, 11:19

I agree, will look awesome when there all together

the gentleman will see some loving again very soon. iam actually itching to work on it and make some new progress. i have plans to down size on projects even more than before now.

micra
mx5
gentleman
and riley elf will be more than enough for me.

oh and mybe the micra will make it too the rolling road day

lol

**Sturge** · 01-06-2010, 14:14

Kev, i think you should put a CA in the micra and make it RWD lol my mate was trying to get me to do it to mine back in the day but i couldnt afford to then lol

**eloise** · 01-06-2010, 16:47

primera gearbox and keep it fwd. would be awesome mate. t16 in metro when i have done the capri lol.

**swiftmini** · 02-06-2010, 05:58

Iam fitting the 1.3 16v because i have all the bits too do so and also its most probably the best choice based on handling, cost, economy, plus it will take a day to swap engines ect ect the list goes on
