If you wire brush it, it will be very difficult to then remove the scratches said brush will have created.

Nooooooooo. You could do a reasonable job with some very fine grade wet and dry paper, and then polish with Autosol or similar, it would look reasonable but you'll never get a mirror shine. I think skotch (spelling) do some abrasive pads that also work well on alloy

Ok thanks :grinning: I'll try and get a 1.4 then.

Thanks for that :grinning: I'm rather warming to these little engines.

At the moment I'm looking for a whole running car, and also a scrapper to try and get the engine in a mini subframe like bigchief does in Tabago. I notice the CGA3DE puts out 101 PS in the cube, I wonder how they achieved that over the 79 PS that it has in the Micra? Thanks for that. By...

Thanks :grinning: I'll see what turns up first. Found this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_CG_engine#CGA3DE I don't want to mod it too much to be honest, cheap and reliable is what I'm after.

I stopped at Alderstead Heath near Caterham once and another year close to Lingfield, also went to the dog trials near Rodmell. I come down mainly for the Boxhill to Brighton Monkey bike run that I ride my little Honda Dax on, but also bring the push-bike as well, what amazed me was cycling over...

Would it really be worth my while seeking out a 1.4 as opposed to just buying a 1.3? about 75cc bigger and about 8hp more power I believe, not sure about the gearing, guessing it will be the same? Any informed views appreciated thanks :grinning:

Thanks :grinning: a crap Corsa in Horsham hey, had a couple of nice holidays in Surrey, amazing how rural it is so close to London.

Sorry Bigchief I saw your post on another forum and posted it here, thought these nice Micra owners would enjoy it :grinning: http://www.micra.org.uk/showthread.php?p=309995#post309995

Oh right thanks, so an engine from a UK Micra will be the same apart from the plug leads and plastic cam cover?

Perhaps he was on a Monkey bike http://forums.delphiforums.com/monkeybike/start

So it was made in March?

That explains why it looked so small, didn't realise the clutch housing came off the gearbox, also expains why It didn't quite look right to me :glance: thanks

my first post said I'd have to wait for it to be moderated, and then never appeared on the forum for whatever reason. I changed this post when I saw it had been posted without being seen by the mods.

Thanks Ian, yes I'd noticed that after posting! I bought a car from Jarrow a couple of years ago, it was a little white Midas kit car.

Surely I'm not the first am I? I'm Stuart and am on the look out for a face-lifted 3-door 1.4 mk2. I wonder if this post has to be vetted by the mods? if it is how do you get to post without being vetted every time? Edit, looks like I am the first and no vetting too Edit again I see...
