My micra should hammer any mini once finished (no disrespect to anyone), and any other micra that's on this site(sorry), I am so sorry and don't mean to disrespect any other users on this forum, but you cannot compair micras to minis purely due to weight, I am putting a high powered motorbike engine into my micra (hayabusa 1300cc) and can not wait till this project is finished, micras are light and I know that minis are lighter but also depends on how the engine is fitted and what fittings are made for the build,,, engine mounts, body lightening ect,,
