This needs more info on the spec!

I always thought Nissan missed a trick not doing a quicker version of this age of Micra. 1.6 as used in Almera/Sunny with 110+bhp? Would have been a right laugh.

Just posted the spec for you! Yeah I feel the same way, but they knew they didnt need to make massive changes to the mass production of these cars...they got it right the first time!

Polo Steelies but the offsets are custom to fit the micra.

Just read the specs, nice, bet its real blast on the twistys. Any idea what sort of power it's putting out? Also, what made you choose a five door over a three door?

That subtle look with a punch is so much better than all the halfords adorned crap you see these days - well done sir!

Reminds me of my old 1.3lx 5 door. I loved that car so much, turbo'd the 1.3 similar to you, went to 1.6 at one point too, then sold it, brought it back, and fitted an SR20det, wish I never had!

Nice to see another one looking so good
