really silly question

[coolmunky]

I passed under a week ago, and my friends keep asking me what the "s" on the back of my k11 micra stands for... any help??

 

[Tom Messy]

Sport?

 

[curtis]

Its just the type of trim, where it has certain things or not...

sport
super
speed

Could be alot of things...

 

[squarepants]

iirc SR stood for street racer, Super S stood for super sport, SI stood for sport injection....

so i think yours stands for sport.

 

[joesouthgate]

It probably does stand for 'sport' even though its probably only a 1.0 with no more power than any other 1.0 micra...

 

[squarepants]

but sport doesnt always relate to power...it could relate to sport interior or exterior parts....

 

[joesouthgate]

well the models I've seen with s on the back haven't looked any thing special to me.

well its not gonna be a super s is it! its like saying a lx doesnt look anything special only because its low spec....

 

[joesouthgate]

no i meant it didn't look as good as an lx or gx

 

[squarepants]

proberly because there not as lx and gx came in 1.3 models aswell as 1.0 where as the s didnt.

Who cares, just take the badge off and noone will ask again..

 

[esha]

Mine is an 's', i think the only thing i have different to other micras same age as mine is a spoiler and little sporty wheels, I think it jus means youve got a 'sports package' bodykit on it, nothing special at all really, dont even have front fogs

haha mint

if its after 2000 the s stands for 'standard' lol.. its the cheapest model

 

[capnmchl]

Yeah, I was gonna say, S stands for standard, and on higher market cars (cept mercs of course) SL stands for standard luxury.

So a Rover SL620 is a Standard luxury 6 series 2 litre.

 

[Stani1029]

it is a sport, colour coded with spoiler etc...

 

[Robb]

if its after 2000 the s stands for 'standard' lol.. its the cheapest model

Probably is that, second facelift.

 

[1.3GX]

the sport has a different suspension set up and a chunkier steering wheel well my old one did

The second facelifts all have the same steering wheel, just different colours

What what different suspension?!

 

[1.3GX]

well its felt more solid to the road than any other standard micra that i've driven (about 20 lol) it handled like a go-kart.

 

[Robert]

ARBs maybe?

 

[1.3GX]

ARBs maybe?

yeah maybe it has, i honestly dont know what it was it just felt more solid.

all prefacelift 1.0's didnt have rear antiroll bars...they didnt even have mounting for them so the full rear axle would have to be cahnged.. iirc it was the facelift facelift 1.0s that came with front and rear roll bars. i know all top spec facelifts like mine came with front and rear, not sure about lower models, think they only had fronts. i think iam right lol, i carnt remember :S

and all 1.3s had front and rear roll bars

I'm pretty sure my 1 litre pre facelift has both rollbars.
