    [TD]Yes a fireblade 929 powered rear engined Nissan Micra - not too many of these about!! 12,000rpm, 6 speed sequential box, 750kgs - pretty mental.

    I bought this Micra about 6 months ago - the guy had just got it working but there were a lot of niggles to sort out - new head, cams, gasket, coilpacks being the main ones. Anyway we've had quite a bit of fun in it since, as you can imagine. I have found a solution so can tell you what is needed. The reverse I was going to use a Westgarage electric reverse (about £300).

    It is all working absolutely spot on and ready to drive away (although not road legal). V5 is present.

    I will paste the original advert below (as all the spec is there) but first my description:

    The engine, main cradle, rear diff and sprocket setup is very well designed and well built (possibly originally from Z cars or Westgarage engineering). The install into the car - rear subframe, hubs, struts is a bit agricultural but it works and is very solid. So a lot of money has been spent on the core bits but the install could do with tiding if you want it mint. It has a very nice baffled tank in the front, has new coilovers all round, the clocks work perfectly, gearchange is solid and spot on, revs allllll the way up to 12500ish
    . Engine is the 2002 929cc so the first of the EFI models so reliable and starts on the button everytime.Custom manifold and exhaust are really well made and perfect fitment. It really is awesome to drive. We've had it round a little track but the guy before actually drifted it at a drift day at castle combe!

    Anyway, here is the original advert - Any questions welcome - welcome to come and view and I can take you for a littel drive!!
    Bring your ear muffs!

    AS YOU CAN TELL BY THE SPEC THIS CAR HAS BEEN DONE PROPERLY AND MY MAIN AIM WAS TO KEEP IT LOOKING AS STANDARD AS POSSIBLE.
    NOW FOT THE BIT YOU REALLY WANT TO KNOW ABOUT..................................HOW IT GOES
    IMAGINE YOU HAVE A FORMULA 1 ENGINE SAT BEHIND YOUR HEAD AND YOU WILL HAVE SOME IDEAL OF THE NOISE,BUT THANKS TO INFINITY IT IS 98DBA AT 8000RPM AT THE EXHAUST(IT IS ALLOWED ON TO ALL UK TRACKS EVEN WITH REALLY STRICT NOISE TESTS)
    TICKS OVER AT 1000RPM,PUT YOUR FOOT DOWN AND ITS PULLS HARD AT 5000RPM IT THEN FEELS LIKE A SMALL TURBO KICKS IN,KEEP YOUR FOOT DOWN AT 9000 RPM IT FEELS LIKE SOMEONE HAS KICKED THE MICRA UP THE REAR AND YOU ARE GOING NOW.
    CHANGE UP THROUGH THE SEQUENTIAL BOX AT 13500RPM AND GRAB SECOND AND YOU ARE STILL IN THE POWERBAND AND ITS THEN AS FAST AS YOU CAN CHANGE GEAR OR WHEN YOU RUN OUT OF ROAD OR COURAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
    IT REALLY IS AS QUICK AS IT SOUNDS.IT CORNERS WELL BUT YOU DO HAVE TO WATCH YOUR ENTRY SPEEDS AS YOU CAN ACCELERATE SO FAST.
    I HAVE DONE A TRACK DAY ON THE 13/6/11 AND IT SURPRISED EVERYONE INC ME.
    NO ONE GAVE THE CAR A SECOND LOOK UNTILL IT OVERTOOK EVERYTHING ON THE 1ST SESSION,THEN EVERYBODY WANTED TO KNOW WHAT IT WAS.
    SO TO SUM IT UP ITS A VERY CAPABLE CAR THAT LOOKS LIKE A LITTLE OLD LADIES CAR.
    THE CAR IS NOT TAXED OR MOT,D AS IT WAS ONLY EVER INTENDED FOR TRACK USE,BUT EVERTHING WORKS INC HEATER!!!!
    THE V5 IS PRESENT.
    READY TO ROLL AND HALF THE PRICE OF A Z CAR.
