I'm young, but I get expensive parts, but unfortunately I get new parts very rarely due to that reason 😂 but do they feel good when done with proper stuff. But car isn't super cheap
I had a Micra at 20 and sold it when I was 28/28. I didn't drive much but the Micra done the job and got me around the UK to far destinations. My one wasn't really good on fuel I got like 37 average. Very fun though used to fly around corners and roundabouts. Never felt embarrassed but I realised people would laugh especially girls. You need to have confidence to drive this haha.
many kei cars were sold in europe with 1 litre engines in place of the kei regulation 660cc used on the JDM... dont remember all of them but the subaru sambar was sold in europe with a 1 litre under the Libero name instead of Sambar. other thaan the engine, same car.
Thir7een Interesting point. Any interaction in the comments is ‘good’ for the algorithm supposedly. People are more likely to bitch and moan than say ‘nice video’ so you’re probably on to something.
Nice to see a someone on TH-cam reviewing a car that anyone can get their hands on! People give Micra's loads of shit, but honestly they are amazing cars, on my third and im still loving it, even if my daily is a modified 90s Gti. Only thing its a super mini not a Kei car
I'm pretty much sold on getting one of these as my next little project! Super cheap to pick up with low miles here in the UK and they look great with a few tasteful mods. This one looks class!
Good times. I was tearing up uni with my dark grey 1993 L reg 1litre Micra. The cv joints went so i would get constant knocking when performing any full turns... the attention I got was unreal lol
weirdly, my first car was convertible mini one, then I had a 7th gen Celica, then a 2.2d x type and now I'm looking for a micra for the funny side of modding it, they honestly look really nice when lowered and on nice rims and a few body mods.
I had a Micra facelift... I slammed that on 8j minilites 😎 chasis rails use to scrape absolutely everywhere and cost £250 all in, but for a ridiculously cheap daily they can be fun... only blew a ht lead the entire year of abuse was pennies. 😅😅
They were not cheap on insurance when I paid for my first year. £4000 my insurance cost me as I was a young male driver on my own policy. Brilliant little car though, I loved my little micra.
Is it not the front crossmember on these that rot out badly that you need to be aware of? something like that. Excellent reliability in the main otherwise as far as I am aware.
If the young driver declares to the insurance company the modifications they either won’t get insurance or it will be very expensive. If they don’t declare it their insurance will not be valid.
Martyn Lewis depends who you're insured with mate, I'm 19 and always modified my cars since passing when I was 17. Declared everything never had any issues, wasn't even that expensive either. All depends on who you're insured with.
I do like the mod scene of these cars. Cheap to fix too. Needs some sort of turbo or engine transplant to get decent power from these. Also love the paintwork by the way
Love a good micra had a few in my time my 1.3 super s was insanely great fun 🙂 I’m ‘old’ now and still have a micra as a spare car just the newer bubble ugly shape and it’s still as good as the old ones love them!!
Got an s2000 but picked up a 206 1.4 hdi for winter, I'd properly love this instead it's cool as fuck If your a young driver in a car like this I'll happily give you a nod when I pass in my s2k respect Got rid of the 206 got a starlet ep91 much better
I know its a long time since you commented but just picked one up myself. Had my mate who's 6'4 give it a go. Seat right the way back and his knees were hitting the steering column and stalks. Be a tight squeeze to say the least
Got the k12 version, year 2004 1.2 liter 80hp...not fast at all, but it's so much fun to use on twisty roads. Btw I always wanted to put wheels like yours and slam it all the way down, and also wanted to remove the back seat.
Shame you don’t give the lad a chance to speak. Quite cool to see these sorts of cars. Would be cool if you can find someone with a completely max power saxo in working order. Like the Fiesta you had but one that works
It's funny when you have when you're young and you have no money you have more fun in your Shitbox car when you do when you got get older and have more money and better cars ,cars like that are fantastic
Great Micra! Anyone a tipp to get the k11 deeper without adjustable dampers? Got a fully sportsuspension (- 1,5 inch), but it didn´t get much lower, probably because of the minimum-wheight (no extras). Thanks!
Did you get a fiesta zetec s? To be honest best to get the mk6 or mk7 fiesta zetec s with the 1.6 diesel engine. Have a 1.6 diesel mk6 zetec s and it's cheap to run. I don't really work so need a cheap runabout with the sporty exterior which this car works for me 👍
I paid 300 one owner from new ! Gonna gift to my young mate for home learn mecanics ect ! He happy as a pig in sh*t :) fun cars for youngsters to mess about in
That 2 spoke steering wheel is probably the worst looking part on this car. The 3 spoke steering wheel that came a few years later is way much better looking

I bought a H reg mk1 micra years ago off a lady I worked with. She said "make me an offer" I laughed and said "£20" Yep bought it for 20 quid Me n my ex at the time went crazy with 8 different coloured rattle cans. "MICRA POWER" across the bonnet. It was cool. 2002 that was lol

Thanks for the video was a lode of fun awesome to hang out will bring over some more cars soon
Can't believe your micra got featured I know you from the facebook group

@@Dmn0PT i need to move to Portugal 😂
Joe Germaine but the cars on the other hand are a lot more expensive. A micra like this would be more then 1.5k
I have never wanted a Micra so much lol
Micra's class old retro had a 1.3si (1999) with 4 branch manifold and cherrybomb exhaust -sounded like an impreza. Ultra reliable cheap motors.
my first car was a micra on a L reg.. i kept it for five years with no problems.. i eventually moved on to a renault 5 gt turbo
I bought my first car 2 months ago, also a nissan micra. 🥰 very happy with it
Hope your first year has gone well if it hadn't brush yourself off n keep going
4 years later, how is it going?
Anyone know the name of those door protector things?
Check the title mate
That car is incredibly clean. That’s nuts
I had my micra 1.4 modded on minilites was epic!!
Greetings from Germany I bought mine from an old man
Love this micra brings back memories of first modding cars
Kei car ? Not even close but the 16v micras are really good little cars and just honest little motors
He never said its a kei car..
@@pinut187 look at the title of the video bro:)....
Really quick and really reliable for what they are. Cheap insurance and cheap to repair.

@@im8980 try and keep it dry, they rot on the sills. Maybe consider wax oiling the car?
Wish when I had my K11 way back in 2001 you could do things to do to it. Still would have one in a heartbeat again through.
You could always do this to them.. think I remember seeing a pimped out k11 in a magazine from 2000
Does anyone know what kind of price it is to insure one of these a 17.
Is it not the front crossmember on these that rot out badly that you need to be aware of? something like that. Excellent reliability in the main otherwise as far as I am aware.
Yes they do need welding back together every few years but apart from that it’s fine 😂
rear axle tubes rot from the inside out and fail too

Should put a turbo in it. And also a 1.3L or 1.4L engine.
Do the 2002 k11s (2 door) come woth a sunroof?, if now how easy is it to put one in?

Cracking mackem'nese car that... have a spare ignition switch and make sure the frame isn't rotten behind the engine and you'll be all good.
