looking good well done, now get it dyno'd and tell us the power

what have you done to the suspension up front to take the extra weight?
 
Did nothing yet :(

It's lower with this engine about 10mm than with MA12, i have another one to compare to.

I'm making custom strut bar now, to make car a bit rigid. But in the future i ll buy lowered springs and modify shocks.
 
On 7-10th June in Poland we had a Nissan Meeting 2012. There was a dyno, 1/4 mile race and track with some corners. Micra did 600 kilometers in 4 days without any breakdown, i am happy about it. I was second in 1,6 class, righ after 130HP Micra K11 with GA16 NVCS.

New photos and dyno shown on the first post, enjoy guys :)

What car did the driveshafts come from and what gearbox did you use? :)

How does cornering feel with the GA16DE? its a far heavier engine

EDIT: Read description now about driveshafts :)
 
It was a long long winter in Poland. Now when the wheather is ok i can make some progress :)

I sprayed chassis with Valvoline Bodysafe Wax, closed profiles with Valvoline Tectyl ML.

Added proportioning valve from Corsa C, because I was blocking rear wheels permanently :( Also mounted braided stainless steel brake lines.

So let's start with the front :) Adjustable coilovers from Golf. Need a litle bit fitting. It's used H&R/Bilstein.

Before 2013 Polish Nissan Meeteing (30May-2June) i finished front and repaired exhaus manifold.

I've mounted adjustable coilovers from Golf mk3, Bilstein + H&R spring, used, bought for 40 pounds, what a bargain ;).
Modified mounting, wholes moved and adapters welded.

On the meeting I use Michelin Slick, cut like Toyo R888. Alloys were Intra 7x13. ET23 was much to low for K10 to I need to make arches wider :D Coils are great! I have to change the mounting on the left side because, left is 1 positive while right is 1 negative ;)
