Hi guys,
my name is Ross, im from Fife in scotland and this is my project!
so this is the 1996 Micra SR, It failed its MOT on some small issues which will soon be rectified, mainly rust. Plan was to strip it down and make our money back but we all agreed the bodywork, bar the rust was too good to crush, but not worth fixing to sell on due to a rattly timing chain. So it was decided....Official RR Developments Track Car....
Good idea as our workshop is located 5 minutes from Knockhill circuit and 45 minutes from Crail drag raceway.
As we received it....
Nissan Micra SR 1996 (pre-facelift)
1.3l CG13DE
5 speed manual
comfy interior
lowered on springs (brand unknown)
14" alloys with new tyres.
front and rear disc brakes
infinity 6 x 9's in the parcel shelf
opening rear windows
cigarrette lighter!
electric windows
fog lights
sunroof
It has a great spec. Although none of that matters cause we've tore it up already. Full interior out. Rear windows out. Door cards off. Window regulators off. Headliner out. Sunroof coming out soon. All the sound deafening is already ripped out and gone, exposing a few rust holes in the process...
the plans :
AD22 almera GTi front brakes proportioning valve and Brake Master Cylinder
Corsa B coilovers
Plastic windows
Blank sunroof.
Weld in floor pan bracing
Put in a roll hoop with rear bracing legs (more for rigidity than roll safety)
4-2-1 header
2" exhaust exiting out the side
15" Almera GTi alloys
Green filter
Main focus is on the chassis works. more pics to follow as time progresses.
This wont be a short time project. Mainly when we have cash and parts. And for our own benefit of getting some experience in doing this sort of stuff!
first job! out with the interior and sound deadening.
oh dear...
BISH
BOSH
starting the rigidity excercise
removed the rotton biscuit front end
followed quickly by the CG13DE
then a little delivery
oh yes. 143 all motor horsepower. Roller Rocker SR20DE engine.
so this takes us up to date from starting about 2 weeks ago.
hope to start fabricating the motor mounts this weekend.
and for anyone interested, this is my daily drive.
fitted with this
Thanks for reading!
