Nissan Micra K11-Build Thread - Three years On

[@-Kadir_Demirci-]

I have watched to end. Nice Story.

[@MehLewH]

This is a Micra build I love! I plan on giving mine a straight pipe exhaust system directly out of the right fender. (That does mean removing the turn signals tho but I’ll just move them)

[@kennymacm3031]

That's great to see some young uns getting good engineering skills along the way. Well done

Hello, I leaving in Kazakhstan. In October by nissan micra k11 1L 3 dor, I love this car, very cool car for big cyti. there is little, up to 5 liters of 98 gasoline, there are no problems with parking at all. but in my country there are no parts for it, after all, it is already an old car...

[@Belindaxtz660]

1.0 litre k10 & k11 are the most fun. Little pocket rockets with a few mods.👍😉keep up the good work. Looking forward to wots next?🚗

[@joemotorsport2579]

Yeh got a lot planned mainly progressing my driving this year, and doing a few bits along the way

[@worldhello1234]

Those are mass produced run of the mill economy cars, not "pocket rockets."

[@MrPatriickzz]

Why not 1.3?

[@ALXBurnett]

Brilliant work! Love the build and the fact it’s on the cheap and with what’s laying around :)

[@LeadFootash23]

Good job on saving it. Looks like you've done a really good job on it too. The mk2 suspension looks like a cool setup.

[@joemotorsport2579]

Yeh it’s all about making the most of what you have 😀

[@keio5274]

I take my hat off to you sir. There is some clever work and ideas going on here with some patience

[@joemotorsport2579]

Indeed, it may take time but it saves you allot of money 👍

[@raymondgant9134]

Looks great reminds me of my old white micra but I’ve now got another micra

[@EDU_16V]

amazing job bro, hope to see a nice headers on it soon hehe

[@joemotorsport2579]

Allready in progress 😉

[@awase8061]

Wicked job mate

[@TheZettpatrick]

Great restoration! I´m also working at one, now. Can you tell me the way, you lightened the flywheel? Did it make any problems? How does it feel now? THANKS!

[@joemotorsport2579]

We skimmed a bit off on a lathe and then we balanced it on an old wheel balancer, it works fine makes the engine very smooth

[@worldhello1234]

@@joemotorsport2579 It is just a labour of love and a learning process. There is little to gain out of restoring a cheap mass produced car that isn't exactly a collector's item. :)

[@hydrolics5449]

Awesome restoration. How did you find a k11 that cheap tho

[@joemotorsport2579]

They are generally cheep cars, if you look on eBay they are expensive with mot etc, they are generally around 100/200 now for one without mot

[@AlexVas999]

May i ask what happened to the original engine for swapping to another one? Ta!

[@kylethompson1236]

Can you explain how you made the bilstein suspension

[@joemotorsport2579]

It is a inverted bilstein so it Threads at the bottom of the casing and the original suspension top is reused, it’s got 190 poundage springs, ideally I would have bought already made ones but because they were laying around and I have access to a lathe etc it works out cheeper!

[@alexcantlow9865]

These and ford kas perfect budget race cars people automatically go for civics. my plans a bit pricey rb swap

[@giancarlobagnoli4176]

great😃👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🙋.

[@jamesderp4368]

[@br1xh]

[@stephenwalsh8184]

🚘👍

[@Tomoslee101]

Did you do a deep clean or respray ?

[@joemotorsport2579]

Sprayed a few panels. There will be an updated video soon.

[@justinobrien6312]

Where did you get the gear shifter

[@joemotorsport2579]

Make the stick longer for shorter gear changes

[@andrewpredeth7368]

Funny ain't it .. I'm 36 now and I love shit like this but back 20 year ago I would have laughed at it

[@nile2566]

Imagine being so lame you delete the cats
