I realised I never added a little photo dump to sync up with when we fitted the Tommy Kaira kit to the K11; the Calsonic was past the point of no return, so I decided to go all in with this little one I had picked up during the pandemic. We had already fitted a 1.3, becoming the new base for fitting the parts. After searching for years, I picked this kit up in Japan on Yahoo auctions, but I want to delve into a story on that very soon on the channel. For now, enjoy this manic rush to get this thing up to an acceptable standard for LZ fest last year.
We go all in on the K11 build and try to build the wildest one possible
We modify the little Nissan K11 March/Micra and unlock the car’s potential fun.
I am playing catchup on the blog side of things, but since going full-time, I’ve had the time now to try to get all these out; the dream would be to release the content right after the video so it pairs nicely; that is my plan in the future so we will see how that goes.
Anyway, this car is everything I love about the car community; someone took a mundane little nugget because they loved it, threw some incredible, rare parts on it and a really iconic liver and made it into such an exceptional little vehicle—pure creativity.
I’ll let the photos speak for themself here. The car has such a great character, and I love seeking stuff out like this. Ive thrown in a few collaboration images and the night we took the engine out of my little nugget as a bonus. Enjoy the images set.
Check out this really epic K11 Micra, a HKS-inspired Nismo-kitted nugget.
I never thought the day would come. I have a weird problem. I’ve always had it, but I’m not one to sell stuff. I’ve kept most things I held in high regard over my life, from bicycles to model cars, cameras to weird hats. Then, when it moved onto car stuff, it was the same, except it was a lot harder to hang onto things or try to preserve property that’s this size; unfortunately, the k11 sat outside the shed for a couple of years after having a pretty well driven three years previous, I did everything in this car, travel Ireland, commute to work, go on dates all the usual nonsense you do with a car except this thing had grown on me. Before we figured out there was an actual colonic march, I wanted to do this livery; I just thought it would be hilarious to take one of the most iconic liveries and throw it on the most mundane Nissan.

A little shoot we did at 5 am with Enda’s Micra just after he made an insane journey to drop off an engine to shed in the height of winter. He hated that I was throwing him into a video because his car was a mess, but I was keen to shoot this for a long time, and I felt the dirt didn’t detract from the car’s overall presence.
I figured this would be a good place to post progress with the little daily nugget. So far as in how far the car has come on the vlogs, I’m trying to keep both the vlogs and blog posts somewhat in date. Most people have already seen the car in it final silly form but ill save that for its own separate post.
