Hi all,
Having driven all sorts of lovely flashy motors and then having to suffer the evils that is divorce, i thought i would trade up and start up my driving school again, so bought a k11 Micra (1998 1.0 profile) without tax or test, thinking it would just be a good cheap tool.... boy was i wrong it flew through its test needing only minor bits doing, n now i love it, how can you beat these cars pound for pound, all my pupils love it, and i have so much fun in it.
Unfortunately the lack of power has started to get me down so now the body work is all up to a reasonable standard the engine is coming out to be replaced with a 1.3 as soon as i get a free weekend away from pupils and my day job.
Hopefully..... there will be some pictures if i have done this right of the car as it has evolved so far, the intention is buy a k12 soon to teach in and this car can then move more toward the navigation events i wanna use it in, already the i have upgraded to 14" steels (so i can get bigger sunny/pulsar brakes), cross member has been replaced, as i say engine should be changing this weekend hopefully. any thoughts and ideas on the best suspension to use for road rally's would be helpful, was thinking of KONI's and whiteline stuff but wot does everyone else think??
