Some may know i'll be changing car in a year or so's time. Rather than selling the car as a whole,i'll be breaking it when it comes to it.

Now before anyone bites my head off and say they want this and that.

THIS TOPIC IS FOR INTEREST ONLY!!

I'm only doing this to see if members would be interested in anything. Obviously alot of stuff is custom and/or abit of money,so prices will vary when it comes to it.

You all know the car,if you dont look here: http://www.micra.org.uk/threads/23236-Hoodedreeper-s-K11-RELOADED!!/page21

Heres a spec list so you get an idea whats been done to the car:

Whiteline Front Anti Roll Bar (22mm) (Scopez) (laz912 2nd dibs)

NISMO Spoiler (RizPhel) (slimothy 2nd dibs)
Seat Ibiza Rear Splitter (Scottjames)
Rover 400 Side Skirts (scottjames)
Laguna Front splitter

INTERIOR
Bucket Seats (slimothy) (will halligan 2nd dibs)
4 Point Harnesses (RR_Dev) (laz912 2nd dibs)
Pulsar Short Shifter (micra.sr)
Stripped Interior
Plasma Pillar Gauges
Flocked Dash (micra.sr)
Carbon Fibre Front Door Cards
Carbon Fibre Rear Door Cards
Custom Door Pods (mcgregornw)

I've removed the following as i'd keep them for the next car,or i may get rid,who knows:

Momo Gear knob
Momo Steering Wheel
Quick Release Boss Adapator

I had the idea of an 'exchange plan'. Which would mean you purchasing a part at a lower value + the same part but the Factory equivilent.

For example: My bad boy bonnet = Standard bonnet + £40

That way,i could re-build the car and turn it back to factory standard,so then i could sell the car as a whole,but completely standard. Again,this is just an idea and nothing is set in stone.

Dibs on roll cage lol ner ner

Soz dude.... I couldn't resist

Shame to see you go if and when you do

Cars an inspiration to the club

Have you considered an engine transplant? Maybe an sr20 from almera gti?

Still be unique and go like stink

Or do you want the normal run of the mill s13 s14?

I think if you had the opportunity to have the beast from the east with 160 bhp you wouldnt go anywhere

I wish you all the luck bud with whatever you choose ;)

I honestly dont know mate,i just cant see any reason why i need to keep pumping hundreds and hundreds of £££ into it,when it'll still be a 1.3 Micra. I love the car and community to bits,but when i can insure an S14a for not much more than the Micra,it seems silly to spend looooads more on the Micra,when i can buy a new car with the engine in already!

Yeah i understand the power to weight etc will be hughly immense in the Micra,but its hassle i dont need. I'd like to think ive been an inspiration to members,i dont see it as one of the best in the club as there are far better ones

I've driven s13s s14s been in an competion spec s13 with 380 at the wheels

Awesome cars unadoubtadly (spelling) however it will cost you and cost you and cost you

You forget parts for these will run slow one day, people are going through gearboxes and shafts every meeting

There are bigger and better cars I'm not disputing that, I've had one

Doesn't give me the same feel, something about a k11 I love

I get the pizs ripped out of me at work for it, schity micras ner ner, never be fast, granny cars etc etc

I think you've done just a bout every visual mod you can lol

Time for power, I'm sure if you drove a k11 with 170bhp you would love it!

The pocket rocket will stay with me until It can't go on anymore :(

Yeah if i had a micra with 170bhp ish (or what ever figure) then i'd still love it. But i just cant help but think its just gonna be the same 'ol car that i've had for the past 3+ years. I honestly dont know!

Seeing Noddie's turbo'd car at Brighton made me wanna turbo mine,but i have NO mechanical knowledge at all! No one lives close to me that can help out. If i took it somewhere out of Norwich,i'm gonna be without a car,and i dont know what is being done. Same again with an engine conversion,its not just about slapping an engine in,its everything else thats gotta go with it. Then when something breaks/goes wrong you've then got the agro of sourcing stuff,making sure its right.

I'm having enough agro with this gearbox,and thats only a gearbox and flywheel!

with the 4-2-1,sports cat and the back box (which is an Ashley) it reads 90.2 decibels. Which...i think is illegal (oops!) But ever since having it on the car i havent been stopped for it. Its only reeeally loud (and raspy) at 4000rpm
 

peposhi

Once I win the Euromillions...
I would buy the whole car if I had few quids spare :p

For now I can only bid for the Gas Bonnet Struts :)

I honestly dont know Mike,trouble is...if i sell it as a whole,it'd be far less than what it'd be in bits. I've spent a good £5k-6k on it (thats just on modifiying) and book value is probs only about £2k. So in my eyes it'll better to break it

Can anyone else see where i'm coming from with the whole 'buy a car thats quicker in the first place'? I really dont want to...but i just cant bare spending that kinda money on making it quicker.

By the way,its a sports cat from an M3 3 series thats been fabricated to fit. And its not a de-cat

List updated
