Fibreglass tank guard is the happy medium. Lightweight, easy to repair if damaged and easy to fit. Okay, might cost a bit more, but would never do a Road Rally or any rally considered "rough" at all without one, like H701micra said :)

Looking for some CGA3 (1.4 coilpack) Fast Road/Race cams. Mike.

Looking for a 4-2-1 Manifold to fit coilpack CGA3 engine. Must be a decent make and in good condtion (no dents etc)

I was planning on going to watch Powys Lanes, and was going to come say hello, Gareth. But had someone come look (and buy) the Micra Road Rally car today, so not up for going there now! I used brand new AO21s all round on the Targa Raod Rally, real good tyres to be fair. It was at a real...

Might I ask what you would suggest? Many thanks, Mike

Hi all, I currently have a Coilpack 1.0 Rally car and just bought a Coilpack 1.4 CGA3 engine to put in it. I am thinking of going down the route of bike carbs and wondering what to do with the engine before it is fitted. Cams? Skimmed head? Polished head? I don't know a huge amount about...

The BC units are probably more suited to Tarmac, but I know the guy who sells them run them on his Micras who do Tarmac and Gravel, so must be okay to use in the woods too. I can't comment on how good they are, but I did use them on a gravel section of a road rally style event and were brilliant.

Thank you very much Harry, your help lead me to find the original owner and builder of the car. I still havent spoken to him personally, but himself and the other guy who built it seemed just as keen to find out where it was themselves! A couple more pictures of it, meeting up with a friend in...

I will be using BC Sportline adjustable suspension, available to buy from Rallyschool as he is a stockist of them. Matt Humpries is a real nice guy. He has given me lots of information when I had my old Micra and bought a few things from him too, like the engine mounts (real good quality...

My car is from up that way, it has come from Rhyl and done 2 Cambrian rallies. :) My plans are to put it back onto Tarmac (already got suspension setup), 1.4 engine (already got) and Motorbike carbs (need to buy). Going to lighten the Flywheel I think, maybe do a bit of work to the head (maybe...

Hi Harry, how much are you looking for them? Have the jets already been drilled etc, or still as they were originally? What events did you see it on? I know very little about the history of the car, so everything you know will help me gather information on it etc :)

Hi, any pictures of it? I am in the same situation as yourself at the moment, being an apprentice mechanic. I also just bought a F1000 Micra, but plans are to make it a fairly competitive 1.4 Tarmac car. Where in Wales are you from, might I ask? Mike

Thank you very much :) Yes, it's a rather well prepared cage. I bet it weighs quite a bit, but can never put weight over safety! By the way, your blog was the one I was reading when I decided I wanted carbs. Reading your specs etc and listening to a couple of videos made me very happy indeed :p

Ah, yes, if you could please, Skinner :) And I forgot about Matt, lol. I've bought lots of things from him for the other Micra, hes a real nice chap. I will phone him tomorrow!

Looking for a 1.4 K11 Coilpack engine. Please Message or PM me if you have one or know for one. Many thanks, Mike.

After a long hard think, i've decided to get a 1.4 for it and go from there. I am in no rush to rally it, even if it took 18 months to 2 years. Spent a bit of time looking through some blogs of other Micra Rally/Sprint cars and really like the idea of a 1.4 on carbs, bit of work done to the...

Thanks for the comments. I would personally like a harness bar in there myself too, to be honest. But got a few other thing planned to do at the moment - and wont be rallying it until next year anyway. It's going to be a slow build, finishing off what was started by the previous owners. 100%...

Hi All, I currently own a 1.3 Nissan Micra Road Rally car (can be seen here: http://www.micra.org.uk/threads/1-3-micra-road-rally-car.56529/), but a friend passed me onto a for sale advert of a F1000/Rally First Stage Micra which looked very clean and quite a decent price for what it was...

Thank you very much Both! its very much appreciated. I will check PollyP's thread out etc too. Thank you!

Hi both, Thank you very much for your information. I have very limited knowledge when it comes to mechanical sides of it, and i'm happy to do whats best - not really too worried about the cost - just don't want anything that is going to fail. Would I be able to find what size shims I would...
