Nissan Micra Cup

[PranK]

Check out the Nissan Micra Cup cars in Canada.

Nismo suspension, roll cage, seat, brakes and tyres etc, $20k Canadian.

I love this thing! I wonder how well it would make a daily...

Maybe this is similar to the cup that Duncan used to race in (Mirages, right?)

From the source article;

Motorsports in Action, a Quebec racing shop, preps the Micras for Cup duty. It adds a Nismo suspension kit, FIA-approved racing seat with a five-point harness, safety cage, upgraded brakes, modified exhaust, and Pirelli low-profile performance tires. The stock 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine – rated at 109 horsepower and paired to a five-speed manual gearbox – remains stock.

So Awesome.

What do you think? I reckon it'd be a blast! I wonder if you can buy one to use privately and not as part of the cup?

yay for plastic laden race engines.

M7+1 it's just the stocker with a pod filter. Doesn't make it a race engine.

According to the quote I posted, the engine is actually double stock.

I reckon they'd be a blast.

Production race car means race engine. No matter how lacklustre. If it died on the track due to being shit, would they cover it under warranty?

Why do they get an extra 100cc??

My motor has 1500cc. HR15.

But it's now cool I can say my car can be a Racecar

Yeah if they had a micra series here I'd be there with bells on. These is nothing like a big grid of same performance cars to make great racing. Only the panel repair bills become a problem because those with too much money don't care about the repair bills
