start with a lighter car - there is no way a micra will cope with such a small engine, i know you could drive a plastic pig with a bike license - not sure if the rules have changed now though.

Nope, just a sensor driven leccy fan, im gonna run some ducting or put an air scoop in. Ive found some people have had no issues with the same setup - some not even needed an aux fan OR a complete nightmare like mine. The rad is wedged against the wing so a cowling wouldnt do anything + the fan...

Side mount in the end. There is no space at all for a fronty on mine!

Easy - do it at home!

Best to ask Frank on here - i bought it from him and didnt really ask too many questions as i was so excited to buy something for the mini lol. its not stupidly thin / weak but it is certainly alot thinner than others ive seen! - it does have a few drill holes but it is for balancing purposes...

Im on the mini forum as 666junky and have a thread on there but it does not contain any recent pics at all for a few reasons. The reason i mentioned the cooling is because im at the same stage myself, it runs, but the car runs keeps overheating..getting a new rad and thinking of running an...

I have a frankspeed lightened flywheel on my mini micra and had no stalling issues at all. she is a 1.3 and happily spins the wheels in 3rd gear, shes a bit of a monster, you may need to take some more cooling precautions such as using water-wetter and a water tank before the radiator (i cannot...

Where do you get the seals from?

more info / pics of the driveshafts? likely to just need the inner cvs / potjoints to save on post

Dont suppose you have the inner cvs / pot joints? at the gearbox end. must be from a facelift car - doesnt matter if 1.0 or 1.3 . and the surround, clamp and inner gaitor from the gearstick? if you remove the outer gaitor you will see the parts i need! :) taa

'She' was honest, guys im just telling you my experience and thats all. I didnt sell the cars as genuine 100% reliable on road examples. End of really, i dont need to prove myself and im not trying to be cool at all, i just enjoyed them whilst i had them.

The second was bought by a guy that needed it for yard work and gave me 50quid with it filled with scrap metal :/ .. best not to jump to conclusions first

So you know that i sold it to a banger boy for very little money as he knew what id done to it. He didnt have the heart to pull it apart so sold it on himself (that isnt my decision!)

You asked and got an honest response. Not gonna lie about how i treated the cars.. in a nutshell, yes they handle revving well but no you shouldnt really do it.

My first micra was a 1.0 - that frequently met the rev limiter just for the fun of it - no issues at all and its been sold on twice since my ownership with no engine issues ( was already at 100k when i had it!). my second was a 1.3 coilpack and that again was pushed to its stock limits (only mod...

sorry they are the larger ones, 23t at the gearbox

I only have the engine, its a 1.3 dizzy drive. I think its the type without the balls and star drive inside the cup
