A couple of month ago i was given a very clean still mot j reg k10 1.0 with a tired engine so a few days ago i had nothing to do and when youve been racing k10 micra's for a few years you start accumulating some good spare's in the corner of the shed so the past few days i have been building a bit of a fast road micra.
i had a good low milage ma12 ecc engine so i replaced the head with one that i had skimmed 50 thou,3 angle valva seats and fitted a piper cam that i had still bran new in its box that mark swopped me for a inlet manifold last year,i have used the standard 1.0ltr carb inlet and exhaust setup and also fitted an lightend flywheel and new clutch kit with the 5 speed long ratio box. slung it all in but used the 1.0 lite bottom front pulley with the 1.0 v belt and altenater.
the suspension has turned out hard and low,front shocks are monroe gas off an mk1 xr2 with standard cut down spring and the rears are cut down gas kyb with short spax springs.
finnished it all off this morning took it out for a spin and its not slow for a 1.2 and really handles well, when my racing ends this season which is soon i will fit my inlet manifold weber carb and 4/2/1 exhaust system and bring it along to one of these meets
