Got the car on the local RR on Saturday for a quick power run before we destroy yet another clutch.

184bhp at the flywheel, 158bhp at the wheels. Didn't quite hit max boost for some reason though.

Quite respectable for a 1.3l Micra :eek:

:D :D :D

Wow - I bet that shifts! Can you pull away without spinning the wheels?

Ah but, how to you put all that power down without scrabbling into oblivion? Have you got TC fitted?

'Tis a bit scrabbly now the roads are wet and greasy, but is pretty good in the dry.

Should be getting a LSD, lightened flywheel and twin plate clutch fitted in the next few weeks, along with some new NISMO engine mounts, cos I noticed a fair amount of play in the standard ones when it was on the rollers.

There is some info on RC Developments website but it's a bit out of date now.

www.rcdevelopments.com

The car now has Sunny GTiR front disks and calipers, braided hoses, HKS springs, Nismo uprated front and rear antiroll bars and adjustable panhard rod, CUSCO front lower arm brace and some nice shiny Nismo rad, oil and fuel caps (thanks Bren :D ).

Going to be attempting to fit a S-AFC II and some S14 injectors in the next few weeks aswell. Need to crank the boost up a bit to crack the 200bhp figure.

I never thought I'd see a Micra produce that sort of power :eek:

Have you got a little letter in this month's Banzai mag??

I have a 1.3 SuperS micra for a very sort time (borrowed it for the day) and fair play it didn't half shift!

Check out the Kappatsu race March...

If you translate it using altavista, I think it says it produces 240PS :eek: :eek: :D :D

yeah phill, that's my letter. That is a really poor result for the car they featured. Perhaps they'll run a feature on ours............

You just imagine it pulling up next to a R5GTT or Audi TT and ruining their whole day:D
