depends what you want from the car but theres soo much potential with the 1300 engine , rally nuts do some k11 parts and matt humphries on here has loads. but look through the blogs for ideas.

enjoy!

ok iv had a look about and there is some nice body kits on the go. where can i find one. i have a set of 17" wheels going on it. i am thinking of a turbo kit but what sort of internal mods do you need to do before slaping a turbo on.

None if you want low boost, but it's far more complicated than "Slapping a turbo on". I wish it was that easy

I personally wouldnt get 17" wheels if you want performance mods aswell, they will slow your car down something rotten! Fine if your going for show like, 17s can work well on a micra imo but you will have to get your suspension setup just right to avoid it looking like a tractor if you get me.
