A few years back on a track day a bunch of us were sitting round shooting the breeze and one of the two fat city guys with Caterhams asked about how they could knock their lap times down, the genuine answer from one of the professional crew was" leave the pies alone"😂.
drag monster please, i will be unbelievably happy if you continued this series, you two are a great combo, i hope the other guy with glasses joins this series as well, you three are fantastic
That is a BIG upgrade in performance, standard these things are well slow (i drove my mates untaxed, bald tyred, never insured deathtrap Micra) This will be such a cool project to watch.
If it’s the same as my old pre-facelift if you take the dizzy cap off you can tape up the holes in the rotor arm which will get rid of the rev limiter. The limiter always cuts in a tad early on these engines
X-reg is from September 2000 to February 2001. Starting from March 1999 (T), the DVLA changed the reg year letter changes to half-yearly (like the "new system") while still on the "old system", because it was starting to run out of registrations with the yearly changes of reg year letter that had been used until then. So: T - March 1999 to August 1999 V - September 1999 to February 2000 W - March 2000 to August 2000 X - September 2000 to February 2001 Y - March 2001 to August 2001
You can move the clutch actuator on the splined shaft and get a better clutch when the clutch is on its way out and make it work better, i did it on my Micra when I couldn't afford a new clutch and it works.
Lucky boy! I absolutely love them. Glad you're saving it and looking forward to the mods! Had 3 in the past, driven to death and looking to grab another one this year to shove the free gsxr engine I was donated at the rear. Might go K10 this time as much lighter.
I put an sr20de in one of them. If you want to improve the handling get some Killen track springs. If you want them I have a hornet cherry bomb Centre and back box which do sound pretty sweet. If you want them then your more than welcome.
What a deal ay lads and respect to the fella for handing it to the channel for free👌nice to see others who aren't money mad, often can't be helped when trying to pay the gas bill mind lol. Good karma will come back round to him one day👌👍, anyway the micra id absolutely leave it looking bit shoody and tired but make sure its 100% mechanically sound and solid. Adds to the shock and giggle factor when a bloody micra is dusting ya golf gti's maybe even the R's aswell🤞and looking used shall we say will turn even more heads. This will be a good one for us supporters to watch. MICRA VS JAZZ, im sure DMO would love a wacky race like this 😅😂😂
I like the idea of keeping it looking as stock as possible from the outside but sorting the engine out to make some decent numbers, maybe uprate the suspension and brakes but get it north of 250bhp if you can and it will be hilarious. Keep it as a road car IMO.
Put a nice wrap on it that would be a good start. And the wheel trims you could either replace with a more sporty type or make some templates and spraypaint some patterns onto them or just take them off and spray the wheel itself a vibrant colour.
Brilliant vid! Can’t believe you got a free car! I think the sleeper aspect suits it but I’m sure you guys can get more power and better handling easily. Maybe Owen might donate some of his MR2 parts??? 😂👊🏼
My mate bought a 52 plate in silver just like this one, albeit proper bog standard. It too has paint flaking off all over, it’s a shit heap tbh but he loves it. I sent him this video to inspire him.😂
Whatever you do keep it looking completely stock. Exhaust out the bumper is cool but its a dead giveaway something's going on. As it is it looks like any old Micra and no one is going to suspect it. The clutch is going to need doing and that manifold leak is probably losing it quite a bit of midrange with such a small engine trying to wind up that turbo. After those try to get the rev limiter higher and maybe some fatter or stickier tyres if you can find some second hand that fit. I'd gut the stock backbox and leave it in place just for looks but have a dump straight out the bottom. Maybe try to find an intercooler that looks more like a radiator so its not so obvious too. Then maybe a small shot of nitrous if there's a kit knocking about you can "borrow".
Hey boys. Im in Whitstable currently with a project car. Standard 1.2l 05 mk2 clio. Just about to whip the back box off to mod the mounting arm to put the powerflex poly mount for the 172/182 on it. Wana do all the non insurance decleration bits first. Uprated brakes and bushes and stuff. Would be fairly similar to this Micra. Bulk standard and rough bodywork but want it to be a bit of a sleeper. See how far I can take it to being similar to a 172/182 but from the standard engine.
small fat tyres would be cool like mini style. I learnt to drive in one of these haha my instructor Derek chain smoking Mayfair's during all my lessons haha legend.
This looks like a right laugh to drive 😂 definitely agree with the screamer pipe but how about a bonnet exit? Could also cut the springs for a free handling upgrade 🤣
Exhaust out of the bumper has to happen! 👍 Get rid of the chrome grille bits and cut the middle for a wider opening, bit of mesh 👌, bonnet vents (just slots with a grinder). Needs suspension before somebody dies 🤣, lower, wider, bolt on arches. Banded steels?
Fix the screen and new clutch and keep it as it is,it looks a normal micra,if you have the exhaust coming out of the bumper it will give it away and won't look right
Iam very jealous fellas think ive got a cone filter uz can have as i live up the rd shall drop it off Tuesday if u aint open monday plus fillter wont fit my Mito. Much giggles frm Sid and Lianne 😎😎✌✌👌👌👍👍

You should try getting 1.4 cams. A clutch will only be about 70 pound and maybe the same or more to lighten the flywheel

That turbo takes longer than vtec. Love to see it on the dyno before you do any mods
