They were very reliable after they fixed certain problems on the original 850cc Mini like every time it rained car would stop due to water in the distributor. Distributor right up the front and in heavy downpours they would stop. Guess in merry England they did not have torrential rain. My first...

Toma you buy the original Mini and I will be around every weekend to help you do whatever you want to it. The closest thing you will ever get to driving a go cart on the roads legally. Yeah I know its safety features are non existing the driving position is well demanding to say the least...

Says the turbo kit is a direct bolt on. Nothing about changing the compression ratio. I think the turbo kit would only give you small boost maybe like 4/5psi.Trying to find out.Comes with front mounted intercooler. Cisco you are a real stirrer. Could always drop in the M18A engine. What am I...

Hmm. Warm forged pistons as well as being oil jet cooled. Does this mean engine near its limits or built in safety factor just waiting to be exploited? Probably the first.

Not sure.The aftermarket bolt on turbo kit is just that without any engine mods but guess its for low boost. Trying to find out but being a new model guess no one has been there yet.

Buy an adjustable panhard rod.

I doubt I will ever have another vehicle that could pull like Whitey. I mean I used to wonder without really trying why everyone else was so far behind after lights went green. Swifty does take a bit to wind up.Starts to work best above 4000 rpm. What else? Cold air induction/lighweight...

Oh well have ordered a set of extractors for the Swift plus wacking on a baffle free aftermarket sports muffler.Bloody thing too quiet and miss the growl of a sports muffler. Rest of the exhaust looks fine and being 2" already no need to change. Done 640kls and its starting to free up. Brakes...

Welcome DeNs. Car looks very clean and I am sure you will have many years of fun in your Micra. I would definately look at upgrading the front brakes to Nissan Pulsar N13 ( direct bolt on) and wider rim/tyre. Even going to 14" will make a world of differance. A Whiteline Hd sway bar up front...

Errol has been very sick plus some other issues. If you want any info re where to source bits and pieces that he was selling let me know and I will find out. A real shame but health and happiness first.

Cisco the stirrer has spoken. Master how can I refuse your command ? You need to set up a sub site for people who own Swifts and Micras.

Thanks Caroline. Lots of goodies on both sites.Gee a complete turbo package just waiting to be bolted on.

Swifty goes in Monday for a window tint and a paint glaze. Part of the deal I screwed out of them plus floor mats and a boot liner. Gave Hack a real clean and a polish today.Still No1 in the garage. Where do you source after market stuff for the Swift??WEb site?? I will start to look at a tubo...

WEll yes Cisco. Its 2006 v 1995. I am already missing the grunt of Whitey off the line but hell the Suzuki is so refined. Can't hear the engine at idle, far better sound insulation,more creature comfort all round. Maybe I am getting old? The Suzuki has a nice firm ride without being too choppy...

Well the day has come and gone. Whitey no longer sitting in my garage.In its place sits a Suzuki Swift Sports ( see what you did micragirl) The new owner resides north side of Perth, is not a site member but hopefully will log on. I am still sort of in shock but discovering the delights of the...

What are the new set of wheels ?? Hope you demanded that the new owner sign onto the site and told him what a great car he was now priviliged to own.

Remember when we all got excited about 1000 members?? Well not long before we can up it by 50% The mighty K11 refuses to lie down. Now Yom no funny tricks when we get closer to the mark.

Funny you should say that.The people we are staying with own a small trucking business.Now they have seen our two I get a daily report on "spot the Micras". Steve the owner is a golden oldie car man and owns a Ford Zephyr Executive Mk 4 1970 V 6. English built and very rare. His an ex Qld...

Its like all the major cars companies are being fused together which is good in some ways and bad also.When companies get big the bean counters tend to take over and innovative/creative/skunk room stuff flies out the window.

Does that mean a V8 powered Micra??
