Thats what I did
OP
OP
acceleration does seem to be a bit quicker tho, did you find that?
OP
OP
Hmm strange mine feels like its got better acceleration. Did you take all the seat belts and other bits too? Seemed quite heavy all what i took out
OP
OP
Hmm might just be that mines a 1l so little weight is more noticable, defenitly feels a tad quicker not much but every little helps
OP
OP
Still think there's no point having rear seats if you don't use them though... Extra weight, and less boot space
I used them a bit but not much so i think ill keep them out and put them back in when needs be
OP
OP
I did that.. became a back seat master
So I just track spec'd it and told my friends to get taxis and stop sponging lifts
Hahaa thats a good idea, ill tell them to get their own cars and start paying for fuel!

She has passed with 3 advisorys, Seat belts frayed, corrosion on front cross member and deteriorated door hinges. I took a good look underneath her and it has been undersealed by a previous owner so no corrosion what so ever, even the MOT tester was surprised how clean it was under their

OP
Bored of it tbh, need a change :/
Aww
OP
OP
OP
OP
Yeah true but i think ill have more fun with somthing different, im still gonna build a high comp engine and see where i go from their because i hate having no power
OP
OP
Make it rwd... it'll be fun then
yeah but then it would need even more power and more work. On turbo cars or civic's there so easy to work on because most of the stuff is made and things go easy when building stuff, theres hardly any aftermarket suppliers for micra's.

I heard this as if Jeremy Clarkson said it after I wrote it.. weird. So I wrote this before it so you'd Clarkson saying it too
That's why those cars are so common. They're for people who have little imagination or creativity. If it isn't simple it isn't possible in their book.
Usually cheaper to modify a micra in the end because you learn to make parts yourself or adapt parts. Once your finished building your own handcrafted machine you can laugh at those with chinese bolt on parts as you cruise past with fingers in the air with a true "built not bought" car.
Ain't no Nissanubaru without no crazy micra owner behind it. Dubbers and vtec boys would of curled up under a table in fear of having to lift a finger or think other than bolt on parts

How about vtec micra

OP
See now that's what I'm talking about.... scott you have just signed yourself up with a challenge
Rear engined
Yeah im not gonna be as mad as you
I think i may give it a go but it will be a difficult task considering the engie bays are reversed on a civic but im up for giving it a go when i have some money and time
OP
OP
Now your thinking like a micra owner
Mad? Me...
You mean the inlet and exhaust are the other way round?... meh tis easssyy stuffs
Main things:
Driveshafts
Mounts
Wiring
Rest is childs play
If you look in a honda engine bay the gearbox is the other side to a micra one so it will be hard mounting the engine but i recon i have the tools and the help to get it done, like you say once ive overcome them problems its all fun and games
OP
OP
i don't know what to do with it :/. Think I'm gonna keep it till the insurance runs out and see where that takes me.
Nick the lump out my mates tegYea he's putting a Honda lump in
