New Super S owner - Plymouth

Hi all

Ive been looking for a cheap Jap car to use as a daily over the winter while the Corolla hibernates and I try and get on with it as a project!
I wanted something that was at least a bit interesting so i didnt get bored............. Ive always had a soft spot for the Micra Super S...................... so i bought one!! :p

Here is my little Micra 1300 Super S I bought from a member on here for £185 ;D (Cheers mate :grinning:)

Well the car doesnt yet have Tax or MOT and its pretty high mileage at 158k but one of the 3 owners had it for 14 years and it was pretty well looked after. All it should need for a new MOT is 2 small patches of welding underneath so its not to bad hopefully!
The suspension has already been replaced for some off a lower milage car.
It seems to drive fine with no smoke or strange noises so i think im good for a good while yet hopefully.

Body work is pretty good but has suffered a few small patches of rust. I think the arches are a little crusty under the Golf GTI plastic arches but Im looking at going wide anyway (you will see why in the pics lol). I even got a mint bonnet free with the car although in a different colour along with some other spares.

Inside its mint apart from a small scuff on the drivers bolster but im not worried about that!

All in all I think its gonna be a lot of fun for not much cash!

Heres some pics....................

Im an international car whore lol
 
Nice Super S !

I would paint the arches and lower it a bit. on the pic of your engine bay i first saw no filter. But now i found the filter, its a strange construction.

there is a gap through filter and that hose so i would be afraid of picking up some dirt from the street :suspect:

...the rolla really looks awesome (Y)

Funny you should say that!!! :wasntme:

I got round to doing my first mod today and fitting a propper air filter to replace the dubious fitting of the old one!

It was like this.................

I also removed all the unnessessary pipework that went to the old airbox................

Move the filter to behind the battery. Slightly cooler air there

how can it be cooler behind the battery?? Where it is is further forward so any hot air from the engine is blown back behind it, plus air can get to it from the grill and headlight areas and Ive got a cold air feed direct fromt the grill which would be hard to fit behind the battery! The battery looks to me as if it would just stop the air from the grill getting to the filter!!

Just My opinon tho but thanks
