mines on hi los, standard cones and dampners and feels fine for road use. christmas is coming, is that still the deadline?

[l_jonez]

Well its more or a prediction if it goes longer I don't mind I'm in no rush atm but except for the drive shafts every thing is done and I could probably have it in the car and running in a day.

It's all just waiting for the metal to fill this gap now



Forgot to post the pic of the tensioner etc and trigger wheel

what sort of power can you get out of a micra engine???? and where can you get performance parts for them?? lol

very nice build!! most accurate and precision:) i likey!

[l_jonez]

you can get 100ish bhp out of a 1.3 and 80-ish from a 998 in NA form ive seen a few on the micra forum with 150bhp turbos, just google it, there's a few suppliers as micras tend to be rallied a fair bit

Recived a parcel today



Full set of hi-lo's and red dot cones

[lucas1amps]

how much has the conversion cost you to date? cracking work would love to have a good at the convertion myself

[l_jonez]

Umm so far

Micra 250
Carbs 30
Alloy tube for inlet 10
Exhaust manifold 40
Steel box section and plate 30
Engine mounts 12

So that's £372 but 80 of that can be avoided by keeping the micra injection. I also hope to sell off things like the ecu dizzy etc etc
