Boosted SR20DET K11 Micra

Ladybird 2.0 *1/4 Mile Vids*

Right so after the sad demise of the EG, and selling the subaru.. a mysterious voiced whispered to me to go back to Nissan. Now having already built a Turbo N15 wasn't keen on a) doing another turbo N15 b) driving a bog standard GTi. Was very close to buying a R34 GTT in white but then settled something a lil less good... Nissan Micra!!

After reading about RR Developments problem with there Micra was determined to find a MINT shell which i knew would be hard considering these cars are the best part of 15years old.. But they say good things come to those who wait..

Saturday the boys got together and headed down south to go view this lil monster :O

Now you see it..

Now you dont..

The Blues Brothers

Nissan Micra 1.0
1.3 Cams
1.6 Injectors
4-1 Manifold
HKS Mushroom Filter
Lightened Flywheel
Custom Roll Cage
Cut Springs
Snap Off Steering wheel
Bucket Seats
Fire Extinguisher

The car is an ABSOLUTE mint shell.. its got a few, i mean a few dings and bumps nothing major! Theres one teeeeny weeeeny bit of rust, infact it aint even rust just starting to bubble, size of a sweetcorn (Ammars Passats got more rust )!

I saw this for sale the other day, it made a point about the modified evo intake tube lol like it matters it's a pipe doesn't matter if it came off a metro or Ferrari lol
Very nice car though have fun

 

[peposhi]

I wonder what wonders you'd do with this car

 

[Guy]

It's pretty darn nice already, pretty sure this is Harlen's ex motor. Totally stripped out and got a 19.05 down the quarter mile, pretty good for a 1.0 :grinning:.

[Harlen]

Wow, I'm SO glad she's still doing good. She looks totally fantastic.

I built the car last year with my dad, from bone stock. I've had 3 cars, this, a 106 Quiksilver and a Mazda MX5, and THIS is still my favourite. I miss it every day!

On more of a dark note, I just had a very bad accident in my MX5 which I was very lucky to walk away from (well, I didn't walk away from it xD), so I'm now on the search for another car. I think I might have to build another one of these little beasties.

I wish you all the best with the project mate, I've got it book marked and I'll be keeping tabs on it! If you EVER come to sell it, let me know... Have fun!
