Im not one to judge others, but this post makes you appear to be a massive bell-end. Are you 12 years old?

I suspect the OP is having some Friday night fun with us and is using a long dormant account rather than being serious?

This. Could have done a better job though, too obvious.

What a plonker. Ibiza 1.6 TDI CR Sport is cheap and £30 to tax though, 10 seconds to 60, decent torque for what it is.

Good for you OP. Take no notice of the haters or those that say you should have bought a TVR. A TVR is akin to a kit car with terrible build quality, truly awful reliability and all the street cred nowadays of a Reliant Robin. These sort of people always go on about depreciation and usually dont have a pot to piss in.
BTW, your 112bhp can be pushed a lot further to around the 135bhp mark without issue and on the standard turbo.

What colour is the boathouse at Hearford?

The extra power from the tuning box should just about balance out the huge, heavy wheels and tyres it's been handicapped with.

Did the op get a blue rinse for the full "micra look"?!

Stuff of the delusion syndrome

Is the micra still made in Britain?

The concept of a slightly quicker micra is a nice one, provided it has the looks to go with it.

I'd have put steel wheels on it, not chavy alloys, maybe some Nissan wheel trims, and I'd definitely need a few parking dents, national trust, RSPB, UKIP, stickers.

I an dyslexic

I have no problem with the Micra although there seems to be some 'small man/car' syndrome going on. However why is it that people who claim to be 'dyslexic' always seem to be able to spell that particular word?

[deltashad]

If you type a word incorrectly it is highlighted by a red underline.
Then you can either look up Google to see where you've gone wrong or right click and have a few options to choose from for the correct word.

Be honest though op, it is a Micra, it may go reasonably quick compared to other Micra's/ Corsa's in the same class. But still has Micra steering wheel, seats, suspension, brakes... etc... Gotta be a wind up.

Can you blur that photo a bit for me, the sharpness of it is currently hurting my eyes whenever I'm looking at it.

Also; LOLthread.

And in returning it to stock

the R5 GT turbo was 7.5sec to 60 in stock

Grenoble said:

Stock R5s were not sub 7 sec.

Do you mean 'standard'?

(apologies if you are American)

Two things; troll, and C2 VTS HDi

I'm not, but I spend a lot of time there and have to use American English in all of my work, so some mitigation, but thanks for highlighting my error.

Though you must be very bored to scan my posts for word usage.

Enough difference on standard cars to knock 1.3 seconds off the 0-60 time?

There was many a debate with these cars . if you had been around to drive more than 1 you would no. The garage that did the sevice would say to a owner , after test drive after main service oooooooo you got one of the fast ones. so YES

OP I bet the local Halfords love it when you walk in don't they?

yes they did when i bought a £3000 BOARDMAN mountain bike, remember the day i saw you buying a pink smiley air freshner

[Eski1991]

I can see the innovation in buying something a bit different, but why have you done this? A good MK1 Saxo VTS - Less than £1000 so you then have something like 40 years of VED out of the change, 120 BHP standard and 0-60 around 7-8 seconds? This is a serious question and I'm not have a bh about your Micra.
