Frequently Asked Questions
How much will a full respray cost?
In pricing up a paint job, several variables come into play, such as the size of the vehicle, the extent of prep work needed, the type of paint and materials used & the level of customisation required. Each of these factors can influence the overall cost of the paint job.
For instance, are you considering painting the car’s exterior in the same colour for a refreshed appearance, or are you thinking of a comprehensive overhaul involving disassembling the vehicle, repainting the interior of the shell, including the engine bay, and reassembling everything?
This level of detail impacts the cost significantly, making it challenging to provide a fixed price without understanding your specific requirements. A discussion to clarify your preferences would be essential for us to offer an accurate quote for the paint job. Feel free to contact us to further discuss your needs and expectations.
How long does a build take?
We take pride in our efficient workflow, ensuring that vehicles don’t sit untouched in our unit for extended periods. While it’s challenging to provide an exact timeframe for each project, we excel in giving accurate estimates and keeping our customers informed throughout the process. This approach not only helps us manage our workload effectively, thus preventing a buildup of unfinished projects lying around but also ensures customer satisfaction by providing transparency and updates on the progress of their vehicles.
How do I pay for the paint work being done on my car?
We offer the flexibility to take a deposit to secure your booking with us. Additionally, we can arrange for payments to be made as the work progresses, making it more manageable financially as we understand that projects can sometimes incur significant expenses. This payment structure allows for a smoother process, ensuring that the cost of the work aligns with the progress of the project, making it easier on your budget.
Turbo Kits
What engine will this turbo kit fit?
This kit is compatible with all variants of the K11 engines (1.0, 1.3, and the 1.4). However, it is important to note that the kit will not fit with the air conditioning units that some Micras come equipped with.
**To install this kit, the air conditioning in your car would need to be removed.
What else will I need to turbo charge my micra?
To optimise performance with the turbo kit, you’ll require upgraded injectors and potentially a fuel pump. Additionally, an aftermarket ECU is essential. We offer a service to provide, wire, and tune a DET3+ ECU for your Micra. Check our tuning tab for further information.
Is it worth it to turbo a k11 micra?
Turbocharging a K11 Micra can significantly enhance its performance, providing a substantial power boost & it’s honestly such a fun car to drive, depending on modifications, engine & set up you could run 160hp +
The difference between internal and external wastegate
The difference between internal and external wastegates lies in how the unused exhaust gases bypass the turbo. The internal wastegate, which is the more popular setup, allows the unwanted exhaust gases to exit through the turbo housing. In contrast, the external wastegate directs these gases through a screamer pipe.
While the external gate is designed to improve boost control, it’s not a major concern for cars running low boost setups. I offer this option primarily for the difference in exhaust sound. I wouldn’t get hung up on “which set up will make more power” as both set ups on stock engines will make the same power
