it defenetly will be. but only need to take it a bit easy with 5th gear,

probobly need to make a lot of testing with front wheel alignement before it will work fine going sideways in those speeds anyway.

3.30 rearaxle is located at the scrapyard,
swedisch nationalday/libertyday so everything is closed,

but probobly will go there tommorow, also found a electonic steering -hydraulic pump from a volvo v50 -07, that should bee perfet since i alrydy have a servo-frontaxel, but no place for the pump in engingebay

tested driving a little more...

am planing to buy an other project for 2012 so this micra is most defenetly up for sale unforently...

i need to sell it for 100.000 swedisch kronor . aprox 15.000 aud.

am planning to buy a Lola t91 (raced in 1991) it is a trade in for my frind that works with f1 cars and this one is to old for him, so i will get a god price on it (even if it is ofcurse much more expensvie than the micra) but selling the micra can make the down payment.

i an going to swedich grand prix track anderstorp next friday and will testdrive the formula car... very exited.

anyway, here is a film of the micra from today, need new brakes, as someone earlyer said the brakes didnt handle the power... will change a few stuf hpouing the front rotors wil work at first trackay.

at first i was using micras stock brake booster and main brake cylinder.

volvo 240 stock rear brakecalipers, stock brake pads and a wilwood brake valve.

in front wv golf 2 mk2 front rotors and stock pads.

the brakes worked ok but when doing 2-3 brakes from 200+ km/h the brake pedal fell inte the floor of the heat, tjhe main cylinder was to small...

throw brake booster and micra head cylinder away and mounted instead a volvo 340/360 head cylinder , (without brake booster) changed to EBC redstuff pads in the back and used modified nascar brakepads in the front... i havent tryed the brakes yet since engine is out but i hope it wil work fine..

engine with rebuilt head is mounted beside the car. only waiting for a gasket kit to be able to mount last parts and put it in again... hopfully it arrives tommorow.

first trackday planed this weekend saturday/sundey

since i like you guys so much i will show yopu the new project.

f1-06_1.jpg


it is a lola t91, raced in f3000 1990-1991. but this chassie was banned from racing in 1992,
the big front and rear spoiler +2meters wide wheelspan gave to much downforce so it was to fast for most europeean racetracks or sometthiong like that-
the f1 cars today are only 1.60M wide so this one is really wide :)

i will use a 3L twinturbo alfa romeo v6 in that car, runnning probobly twå mhitd0419t chargers, and also ofcourse VIPEC .
gearbox is 5speed dogbox, and 2 disc carbonfibre 4.5" clutch...

so, now you know why i have to sell the micra, i am flat broke after al money spent on thi nissan så i have to sell it to pay for the f1 replica :p
