The brand new tyres were fitted today. The car is now gripping insanely well in the wet and feels very sure footed. Step up step up. Who wants a turbocharged hot hatch for a bargain price?

Yeah its a good deal. I've only advertised it on here and on rcolt.com I'll leave it to these two sites for the next month, but after that month, it'll be going public on carsales.com.au So any keen turbo hot hatch fans should get in early as it'll move at this price.

Gunmetal mica (metallic grey) Excellent condition throughout and regularly serviced. 43,000Km, always serviced. Just serviced again, next service due at 58,000Km (ages away). Save $$$ Always washed, polished and garaged. 4 BRAND NEW tyres. Save $$$. Will be fully detailed throughout upon sale...

Yeah just doing 12 months or so in Japan finally evade, have wanted to for a very long time. Will come back after that if I get sick of it after the 12 months. Prob have the first 1-2 months off, just chilling and soaking it in, then will sort out some form of job over there after that. Gotta...

My car is going to be up for sale, later in the year, as I'm going overseas and my lease runs out. Just wanting to gauge interest and put the feelers out to see if anyone is looking for an rcolt but is not quite ready to buy until later in the year. - Gunmetal mica (metallic grey) - Excellent...

Converting a standard car into a powerful super car is a long hard road of ups and downs. If you have the interest, passion and spare money, then it can be a very rewarding and an awesome learning experience. Its the best way to learn about cars and working on them I reckon. Car heads who love...

Its not all about the most fwkw. When you drove blue monster you realise that any more power would be pretty dangerous in that car's chassis. Sure you can go for it to be a "dyno king" that wins a paper certificate and gives you a hard-on, but it won't make the car any more rewarding to drive...

My condolences Geoff! :( Oh micra turbo adventures, its a saga. But yes now you can build the bullet proof engine, which will be a whole new exciting phase. Yeah it does look badly corroded actually.. 40 deg heat, that woulda been tough on the old micra engine, you are pretty keen man :P If...

SPS Pistons in Australia have a pattern to make micra forged pistons. They made the ones in my old micra.. PAR build amazing oversized forged rods. They were also in my old micra. Look up SPS Pistons and PAR Rods on the web and see if you can get in touch with them. They weren't cheap though...

Oh what a shame hey Gareth, but I bet you are pumped about starting the new business, good on you. Its a lovely car this one. A very clean conversion job and it just sparkles. An absolute bargain at $5500. Have you ever 0-100kmh timed it?

I've lost all hope with Nissan and any form of small-fast cars coming to Australia any time soon. Even if they did, I don't think I'd buy one any more.. They were pretty hopeless with their after-sales parts availability for the micra once it was 5+ years old.

Love that the MPS has 6 gears. That's pretty hellacool.

Does the MPS have an LSD Brendon? Is the traction control basically the same as the colts where the ABS sensors detect wheel slip and it just modulates the power output etc? The colt's traction control is pretty basic and raw, but kind of works. Its a lot smoother than the old traction control...

Yeah you missed something dude.. Brendon was coming on here almost 10 years ago..

We used to have an enormous gallery that was setup using some free web based gallery thing and I plugged it into the site and there used to be prominent links to it in the main site navigation. Unfortunately, at some stage, the whole thing for accidentally wiped during a site outage!!! This old...

When someone announces their new car, they've obviously bought it for a reason, and carefully thought about it, particularly being a car enthusiast already who has been on this site for years, owned many cars, including a turbo/AWD model.. Its EXTREMELY LAME, RUDE, FOUL-MANNERED for people to...

Those looks like the factory headlights still to me. Yeah that one never had p/s or air. The one I would probably love to get the most for a run about would be "S-Shortcake". - Nice and cheap, great rear bubble lights and paint in pretty good condition, original super s alloys and...

HOT Just needs a fresh coat of paint and some Super S bumpers.

Haha classic! Good find :) My first micra. $3400! I should buy it for a hack, just for old times sake! :) No power steering though heh.

The spare tyres are not attached to the panhard rods!?!?! DO NOT remove your panhard rod. It was put there so your car doesn't fk up and you don't die. The rear end will sway all over the place and you might break loose a trailing arm. This site is going to the pack! :) Where are the hardcore...
