Fitting Corsa B Coilovers on a K11 Nissan Micra

Modifying and adapting a set of Corsa B coilovers to fit them onto my K11 Micra.
The coilovers I used were JOM RedLine Coilovers (despite me ordering BlueLine Coilovers on the website).
If you're looking into doing this to your Micra, try to get Corsa coilovers with integrated steering bearings like the ones in this video.
With the coilovers not being a direct fit, I'm not responsible if you install a set and run into issues, do this at your own risk.
This isn't a tutorial on the "proper/correct way" of doing this. It's just how I did it and what worked for me and all the relevant info I think someone should know before trying to fit a set of Corsa B coilovers to their K11.
Any questions, drop a comment or dm me on Instagram, I'm happy to help.
Thanks for watching. Make sure to consider subscribing if you've enjoyed the video and let me know what you think.

You took out the helper spring. Thats to keep the main spring seated when your damper is at full droop.

Honestly wasn't too sure what I was doing, did a bit of research now so I'll go back and put them back in, thank you👍🤣

@@the_mintiest_micra Your height is determined by adjusting the spring. Can’t shorten or lengthen the damper like other coilovers. Its fine what you did, as long as theres preload on the spring. If you wanted to raise the car, your spring might rattle. Thats where the helper spring comes in.

I'd get 14s or 15s for the wheels it'll look neater with an old rim style and a thicker tire, but thats just me, great build either way

Thanks mate, I know that the 16's are massive for the car. I've tried to make the car more drivable in the next video, but I'll look into getting smaller wheels👍

for the rears just buy bc springs individually probably work out cheaper than making new rear arms

I've ended up swapping out the Corsa rear springs for something else. You'll see in the next video, the car is a bit more drivable now🤣👍

Great channel, you explained very easy and make a lot of part by yourself! I want to ask you an advice, do you remove OVRV connection from motor to air box in a standard motor? (Clean and fresh air, instead of recycled dirt air) but i think that create a random pressure inside airbox..what do you all think? Thank you from an Italian follower😂

@ALEXDe83-l9v Thank you! The intake set up is temporary as I'll be setting up piping for the turbo soon. I don’t know if it makes much difference with the open inlet but I'd put a breather filter on the cam cover for sure if you take it off.👍

whats with the rusty spanner dangling under the car lol, also great job on this

@the_mintiest_micra 18 күн бұрын

Long story short, it's one of the first tools I bought when I wanted to try working on cars myself. 8mm spanner used to bleed the brakes on a 2003 Dacia 1310🤣

get rid of the 16's pls

@juupa2890 22 күн бұрын

Agree, needs 13's, 14's at the max.

I know they're massive but they fill the arch very well without having the car absolutely slammed and it's fairly driveable. (Let's not talk about the fact that at full lock steering the tyres rub on the chassis) I'll look into it.🤣😬
