Hello folks, Im new to this site and new to the micra.
Basically i'm big into motor-sport and one of the 1st rungs on the ladder is a sub 1000cc championship known as the F1000. Basically the car can be setup for rallying (ie stripping seats etc and upgrading suspension+under body protection) but only on a budget level, No gas shocks for example and only one "control" tyre specified per event.
The popular car for the championship is of course the Micra 1.0s, So what I want to know is after looking on ebay the older K11 micras seem to be at a good price but the newer K11 1.0s models are a bit more expensive (as they are a later upgraded model from what I can see)
So I was hoping that some one on this forum could help me out before I go buy anything, as I want to know what makes the difference between a micra 1.0 and a micra 1.0s, and if the differences are simple (like upgraded induction or exhaust) then I may as well buy an older low millage one, or is it the engine (ie 16valve or ECU) as such upgrades are banned in the F1000, so I'd be better off spending the extra on an upgraded model.
