new pics of our micra

hey, i'm not regular poster. but i din't had much to offer since my micra was original. But since two month a friend and I (its our car, plan is to make a N/A track car to go to the nurburgring) start modding our micra. put n14 brakes on it, airfilter and lowered 30mm with eibach springs, nice black 15’’ rims. Look for your self and comment.

looking good lodo :)
any engine mods planned ?

frank

yes, a full open exhaust with janspeed extractors, fuel-pressure regulator (with 25% boost under full throttle) and a ga15 tb if I can find one. If there’s is any money left other cams, and my neighbour garage is a chip tuner and he offered to remap the ecu once fitted whit al the new stuff. Butt that will take a while…
butt I’ll keep posting when there’s an upgrade
cheers

Looking good Ludo, nice first mods done to the car. :)

looks mint guys :)

you didn't mention the interior performance mods? Fluffy dice always add a few HP :)

haha, don't forget the go-faster-striping, a solid extra 5 hp easy.... :P

Love that color on the micra. What is the color code for that paint?

It would be nice to have the 'ring down the road, wouldn't it!

Wow. It looks great!

Your plans for the car is much the same as my car.

I also have plans on going to the "Ring"

the 'ring' is awesome! I’ve been to the nurburgring 5 times now. For me it’s a 4 hour drive but so worth it! The micra has done 7 laps so far, but in original state, accept for the brakes, so it was fun but very safe :p… done a couple of laps in a Volkswagen phaeton v8 and a golf as well.
I’m going this Friday again if everything goes as planed. Very curious how it will go now the micra is lowered. But still waiting on more horsepower. i'll post a vid of the micra going around the ring :p.......
but whit other cams, exhaust and a remap of the ecu, how much horse will i get?? 110hp or is that a bit optimistic?

my 1.3 with, 270ish inlet and 245ish exh cams, 1.6 t/b and injectors, and 40mm exh system only, showed 107hp lodo, so yeh :)
you might need some negative camber on the front for the trackdays eh ?

frank

wow, thats nice man!! is that enough? is it much faster than original? and do you run the original ecu?
and where can i find camshafts for a micra. couln't find a good site for micra parts.... so i can start looking and saving money... :P
i can't wait to tune my micra!!!
greetz from holland

matt sells cams from blanks http://www.humphrisoxford.co.uk/motorsport.asp
or piper do reprofiles (£200ish + custom shims), i prefer my autosprint one personally (£80) because he takes 2.5mm off, so you just need an extra shim under the bucket
and if i ran mine on petrol, i would need some ecu/fueling option really, the 1.6 setup passed emissions at .003 co, and there was a steady slightly black stream from the tailpipe at the dyno, but in daily use the a/f/r,s were probably all over the shop

frank

oke, but autosprint for £80 sounds cheap..? thats that they grind your original camshaft... sounds like a good, and not so expansive way of tuning.. have to find a place like that in holland..
and if i tell the man i whant 2,5 mm off and 270ish inlet and 245ish exh cams... he'll understand me?? :p
greetzz

he would do one for you lodo, (ozi from eastern europe had an inlet one done http://www.micra.org.uk/showthread.php?t=29533 )
when i fitted my (supposedly 272 deg ?) piper reprofiles, i found the inlet cam gave the biggest gains, but i suppose it depends on what other mods you have eh
(currently running with autosprint inlet and piper exhaust cams, and 1.0 pistons ;) )

Hi!
What size tires?

the tires are 195/45 15'' got them 2e hand in silver. painted them black... so i don't have to clean them.... ;) paid 250 euro's for them.. including tires, came from a toyota starlet i belive...

Likey Likey alot!

thanx, also fixed the cold air intake last week. had it for a couple of weeks but din't had the time. Sound awsome!! can't wait for the exhaust!!

how is it going with this car? got a idea, lets meet up at the ring next year sometime! :)

that would be nice! but progres is a bit slow now. the car is a project i do with a friend. but he is in maleisie right now.... and i am verry bussy with my fathers triumph tr6, needs an engine rebuild. but my friend is back in 3 month or so, and when its dry enough i'll be going to the ring!! but need the exhaust before i go!!
i'll keep posting when i have upgrades on the car
