MICRA!! Anyone Own One??

[89 240 SOHC]

I've got one....gotta love it, just needs alil more pep....hmmm TURBO??? or SR20??

[MinisterofDOOM]

I have a strange and unnatural attraction to the Micra. Yeah, it's irritatingly cute...but it's still somehow "cool" looking. I'd kinda like one as a commuter vehicle. Are they a canadian domestic model? Or was it imported somehow? It'd be fun do bring one down here if they're actually available there. Definitely e a unique car especially in my area.

So backward, though...I hate small cars, hate four cylinder cars, and dislike 2-doors. And yet, I wouldn't say no to one of those wierd little frogs.

Here...This should tickle your fancy:

The Micra R

[Jesda]

Are they sold in Canada?

[Mr1der]

Jesda, I think we need to make a road trip.

wonder how hard it is to get them registered here...

[Gold Digger]

Ahhh...the nissan march. They are fun little cars....only if they are tuned right. Stock, they are slugs. They have very little power, but respond well with proper tunning...for some reason, they just have all this hidden power once you toss on a few bolt ons.

[Pacemaker Kid89]

this would be nice...compete again the xA i think and well it looks cool...i think ppl in the us would buy it....young blond girls woudl think its uber cute...i think it makes a nice and i mean nice little track car

[89 240 SOHC]

Where do I get such bolt on parts....so far I've only removed 80 pounds worth of stuff...Oh...and mine's a 1990

they WERE just an economy car...

'Cept you could fit a Micra INSIDE an xA. They're TINY. Make Metros look big.

I'd like that R version but completely stock looking. You could have so much fun.

[Veriest1]

Ewww... it's so ricey! Why do people have to go and make economy cars so fast!?

[driverdriver]

The first batch of Micra's arrive in a couple of weeks, they are being sold as '06 models.

[Jesda]

I think theyre weird and ridiculous. BUT, if you can slap on a few parts and make it a stealth rocket (that carries groceries and plows through Canadian snow), then more power to you, literally!

Canada only right? That's kind of disapointing. I wouldn't be buying one new but it would be a nice option in a few years.

[driverdriver]

65% of new cars sold in Canada are of the small fuel efficient variety. I guess Nissan figured that they could make money by selling it here and with gas prices the way they are (and quite frankly all they can do is go up), they'll probably sell tons of them.

MOD...Usually I agree with every thing you say, but...the March is not TINY. They are about the size of the New Beetle. They have a decently wide wheel base, but have too small a tire for the look to be right. Imagine a Corvette on a set of 5 in wide 14's...something that just doesn't look proportional.

Hmm. Never seen one in person so I was going off photos. The eyes--er lights--give it the illusion of being extremely small. They must be quite big (the headlight lenses, I mean).

of course, IMO, the new beetle IS very small.

[gniknave]

You have no idea how quickly I'd rock a Micra R.

[flohtingPoint]

No, the friggin suck. I had to rent one for a while before I got my 200sx here in Germany, and I'm telling you, it was about as much fun as a punch in the groin. Small, tight, boringly slow. The ONLY good thing about that piece of crap is that you can park them just about anywhere.

[Jesda]

If I lived in California or Texas, a Micra would be fun. But from what I've heard about the ride quality, they'd be a poor match for the pock-marked urban roads here in middle America.

[sensibleS13driver]

Our roads suck in the Bay Area, I just suck it up and hope my SSR's last another day. But a Micra is too awesome to pass up! Cars these days are too big, except Infinitis and Marauders, and maybe the occasional truck

[HashiriyaS14]

I'd prefer a March Super Turbo, thank you very much. MA09ET, twincharged from the factory, AWD, mean little bastard.

[MinisterofDOOM]

Necromantic powers, ACTIVATE. Thread rezzing time:

The Micra C+C (convertible+coupe). For an irritatingly cute little thing, it's kinda badass.

[gabossie]

Oh man, I'm sorry but that c+c is just absolutly abismal.

[Jesda]

Looks like a Vauxhall Astra convertible. With a cloth roof I think it would actually look nicer.

[PantherRacer]

and I was just abotu to mention the March SuperTurbo but I was beat by a long shot....to bad the turbo and supercharger were so small...

MICRA SUPER TURBO anyone? mmmmmm

The c+c looks strangely hideous and attractive at the same time...like that chick who's looks you just can't put your finger on...and you can't decide if you want to bump her...

[89 240 SOHC]

C'mon people what bolt-ons are available for a 91 Micra and where do I find em?

[gabossie]

Holy thread resurection :batman

[Veriest1]

You'll probably have to have Micra parts overnighted from Japan.

[sensibleS13driver]

yes i have 2 '91 Micras, both fully modded, but no, I wont tell you where I got the parts.
