Micra

[MarcB]

Seen this small thing today and from what i was told its silly quick.

Don't know what engine is in it but I'm guessing its got enough power to weight to be rather fast.

 

[Wee_Billy_92]

Seen that a few times at shows etc. I have heard also its meant to be proper quick.

It's probably the one that used to knock around at Crail with em the pulsar gti-r engine and running gear... If so then it doesn't hang about. It broke driveshafts for fun.

 

[Wee_Billy_92]

Not really to sure to be honest like. I have never seen it on the move just parked up all the time.

I could imagine theirs a fair amount of power to compliment the styling of it.

If it does have a decent engine it's an illegal undeclared swap. It comes up on the my car check app as a 998cc Micra L.

Flol. He won't want a bump in that then!

 

[Wee_Billy_92]

Im sure i can remember getting told by someone that it has an SR20 conversion but don't quote me on that i could be completely wrong.

 

[182Trophy]

There is a guy in a micra by me that sounds like it has something decent under the bonnet.

 

[Wee_Billy_92]

Their was one i used to see in Dundee a lot. A white one on banded steelies and it sounded and looked amazing and it fair shifted as well!

It's one of those cars that kinda needs to be shockingly quick, otherwise it's just shockingly awful.

 

[McGherkin]

I heard it's got a Paxman Valenta in it.

 

[MG cup]

It's definatly turbo'd as you can see the intercooler obviously but also the turbo through the grill. Not just that it's been widetracked too as that girth ain't from no spacers. The bonnet is also a nod to a GTI-r.

From what I remember, it started its first transplant as an SR20 and then got given the GTI-R engine. Might have changed since.

Billy, the White one with the White steelies in it was a 1.3 turbo, had a lot of work done to it!

http://www.fastcar.co.uk/2014/01/15/tuned-nissan-micra-pickup/5/ was close i suppose.

Yeah that will be the one i was on about mate yeah its meant to be getting more work done to it. A guy that bought my mates car knows the owner if it.

Is it a pick up?!

That is actually amazing.

Love it!

Wide body, pick up with full cage and a mahoosive spoiler!! And god knows what else its had done to it!

Looks like a fair amount of money spent.

 

[MarkCup]

None of,it on tyres or geometry though judging by how fucked that front tyre is.

 

[_Tom]

Well you can see a huge turbo.
Got to be a similar setup to "little bandit".

 

[coverman]

Those bubble shaped Micras can be made to handle really well with Leda suspension parts still available for them .Weapon of choice in the under 1400cc class in Autosolos.

After having one as my first car for 6 years, I appreciate that a lot!
There used to be a 200bhp one that looked basically standard at the Ashby Folville meet years back, sounded rather fruity!

GTI-R engine is an SR20.

 

[McGherkin]

GTI-R engine is an SR20.

On that basis, will it pull a premium at Race Wars?

 

[GRitch]

GTI-R engine is an SR20.

My bad!
