Hi all, only posted a few times on here. My nan owns a 1997 1.0 Micra, in purple, and has decided to give up driving it and attempting to sell it. (for £400!) Considering it's just gone through an MOT, had a new clutch 2 years ago, and done less than 50,000 miles, I think it's a bit of a steal really, hence why I'm thinking about having it for myself...
Now, I'm just wondering what my options are in terms of performance. Obviously the 1.0 isn't anywhere near quick, although it probably returns amazing mpg etc but I'm not really interested in that. Basically, what engines are available for it, and how difficult would it be to change over? Would something out of a primera etc fit into it without too much hassle, or do I have to mess about with getting custom mounts/driveshafts etc made up.
The plan is for a "sleeper" type car, an old picture of it will show why...
Any comments/ideas welcome
