Interesting, shame its an auto 5-door though. Notice how the backbox is located transversely also, interesting, presumably to allow for the rear axle.

i believe all 4WD march's are auto's.

 

[goldstar0011]

buy it and retrofit parts to a UK 3dr, shouldn't be too much work for a proper mechanic

I was speaking to someone about the possibility of converting to 4wd. He said it would be more hassle than it's worth although I still believe that a 4wd conversion with an SR20DET providing power would make an excellent Micra.

 

[alchemyst]

the 4wd micras use e4wd an electric motor at the rear powered by a generator ran off the engine so its not mechanically conected to the front engine box at all.
seems a bit like a micra hybrid to me?

Quite an interesting read that. Seems to me like a clever idea.

I'd rather not use it with an sr20det conversion, It would break

its apparetntly not the best, and uses washing machine parts.

Is that a diss to washing machines or Micras??

 

[micra_pete]

what the hell does apparetntly mean?

apparently sounds like more of a word

 

[whipit]

well no know its just a washing machine is a bit of a downer.

No one sell a washing Machine to Olly!!!

 

[ollyc98]

Lol, it's easy, get a speed controller out of a R/C car, connect that to the throttle. Run some wire from the alternator to a starter motor at the back, duct tape it to the wheel, job done.

 

[Antony]

olly..... your officialy a mental case..lol

if that was a proper 4wd-er I was getting inpure thoughts of mating a pulsar turbo engine to it :B

Me and Wrenchable had already spoke about this idea. Until we found out the wheels were actually powered by a washing machine.

Would love to see a Pulsar engine or 200sx Engine fitted to a micra to get the rear wheels powered. But alas, i can't see it happening
