Wow cars looking pretty awesome still, that resprays definitely come out well! http://micra.org.uk/threads/k10-1-2-super-s-60k.21807/ Original thread when I bought it. AFAIK the manifold is completely custom so you'd have to get another one made up, but it does make a very noticeable...

Did this ever get worked on / looked at / heard of again? (Apologies for the necro post)

As much as I remember my Micra with fond memories, I couldn't go back to it now, was great fun when I was limited by insurance age etc. Just glad to see it in good hands.

Its quite hear warming really, had some great times in that car! Looks like it even has the same 4-2-1 mani and exhaust system on it, thats been on and off that car since at least 2007!

Wow! First time on the board in 4 years and can't believe my old Micra is still on the roads! It must have been passed around half of the members on here by now as well as my owning it twice. Pretty awesome :D

I managed to drive an economical car for about a month, and then I got THIS BEAST! (The black one :) )

Well I'm the previous owner before the previous owner and it went through MOT in 2008 with nothing wrong at all, but its done 30,000 in the mean time to I guess its all added up. The garage has quoted me for all the work at £400 plus vat, but they're a good garage on price so elsewhere may cost...

Ok, don't have any pictures of rust as I don't know what to look for.. but: The full list: - Near side (sill) seat belt anchorage area is excessively corroded - off side (sill) seat belt anchorage area is excessively corroded - Wiper bottle leaks - Offside front track rod end and ball...

It won't be to high, I'd love to get it done, but I'm currently rebuilding a motorbike and completely stripping and rebuilding a small yacht, I don't have room for the projects I've got, let alone another one... Should get back to you within a couple of hours.

I'm collecting her from the MOT station in abit so I'll get them then.

Well I took the Super S in for its MOT yesterday and its not good news: It needs: - Tons of Welding - New track rod end - New tire (cut through to ply in existing one) - New ball joint - New wheel bearing - New washer bottle or repair existing one. - Exhaust bracket needs welding A...

######, will have been with them two years this sept. Always been very reasonable, apart from the fact they charged as much to insure a 1.5d 106 as a Starlet GT!!

Sounds like your making good progress! Even so, you shouldn't be suprised at the speed difference... I imagine the mini is lighter than the K10, plus a B16A is 150hp, compared to the GA16's 103hp... Take it out and put a VTEC in :D

Register yourself as a car dealer and you can get one :). Mark, are you going to go for 175s or 185s?

Got to say, I love thee just do it attitude of your project!! Whats It like now you have the full throttle working, I bet it shifts a bit compared to the standard K10 :D

I forgot that there are two cats :P. My plan was just to get rid of the big heavy one thats in the exhaust underneath, but I imagine I'll free up a tiny bit of power (it needs all it can get) by fitting a non ECC mani. I wasn't planning to change it myself as I'm moving into my own flat this...

Well, the backbox is finally disintegrating on the Super S, big style! So since I don't actually need a cat for MOT I was going to get a standard MA12 (non cat) exhaust fitted, my question is, will the the Super S manifold mate up fine with a non cat exhaust? Cheers Rich

Its often a bit of an anti-climax when you approach the end of a project like this, its the little things like your mount and suspension that will turn it into a great conversion, if you persevere with all the small crappy jobs I'm sure the end result will be 100% worth it! Watching with...

After coming back from driving other cars for a while I'm inclined to agree with Ed, it feels like its struggling to rev sometimes, or that something holding it back... Glad you got it sorted mate ;)

Tyre pressures are fine, Will try some carb cleaner, cheers :)
