Overtaking everything in a 1.3 Micra at three sisters

Yesterday Three sisters had a track attack event on for Bank holiday so i thought i'd head down in my Nissan Micra as it's been sat idle in the garage for a few months and give a good run in.
It performed amazingly, i'm so happy with the car. The engine is pretty much stock and it just proves that you don't need a lot of power to have fun.

Great to see I was in the gold mx5 lol. Was like what the bloody hell is going in with that micra haha! Cool car

[@LeadFootash23]

You were going well in yours to be fair. Have you done much to it? It's just a perfect track for the Micra tbh because it's actually quite quick up to about 70 now that it has no weight in it but i runs out of steam after that. I was edging towards the end of my power band when passing you and wasn't sure if i was gonna get past 😂

@Bodhi Deangelo no you're right, no one gives a shit

[@LeadFootash23]

Before anybody mentions it i know my hand placement is weird haha. The seat is still mounted in the original mounting points and i'm 6'8" so my knees are touching the steering wheel and my elbows hit the side of my body when i try to turn. I know it looks horrible to look at and isn't ideal but the seating position is on my long list of jobs to sort out!!

[@ghshrksidhc5460]

Holy shit dude, you huge af, I'm amazed that you can drive like that in such a position!

The green Nissan Micra 1998 was my first car... This takes me back. The feedback that you get without power assisted steering made this experience so real.

[@adamweston4152]

I just love the underdogs and the Micra is a great example of one, my mum's got an 05 plate 1.2 urbis and it goes like a rocket for what it is an I love going sideways in it, the lift off oversteer is so good on it plus the power it puts down has put a shocked surprise on quite a few friends face's.i have to admit that I'm 49 and should not be doing this kind of thing but it is so much fun I can't help myself 😉👍

[@ghshrksidhc5460]

Bro I know this comment is half a year old but I just gotta say this. Who gives a shit about how old you are? I'm happy that there's still people your age doing this kind of stuff, life is short, so let's all have as much fun during it while we can! Have a nice day man. 👊💪

Your tune is so stable. Whoever tuned your car is a god.

[@LeadFootash23]

The engine is all original, running the factory ecu on the original tune. The suspension and handling mods were done by me using BC coilovers and a lot of Gizfab products. Just getting the suspension setup properly on these cars makes a huge difference!!

I got to drive a works Micra rally car years ago, a great little car. Very fun to drive and out classes many cars much bigger and powerfull

[@nathanglynn7443]

I used to drive a 1.5l toyota echo sportivo around as a cheap daily, it was crazy the pick up it had up to about 100kmph after that it was meh, but revved very high and was super light so track days were always super fun, best part is if you stuff the car it doesnt matter so much. In the end i gave it to my mum as her daily driver as i switched to a fairly vintage cruiser (1978 w116 merc)

I had fun watching the video. I just bought a Nissan Micra 2000 1.4 Sport version. 82HP. I found your channel, you have so many videos about it! I'll bother you for sure!

[@LeadFootash23]

Nice!! The 1.4 is the best of the bunch, cheaper and easier to tune. If you need any help or advise just drop me a message 🙂

[@z-trip5457]

@@LeadFootash23 Wasnt the 1.3 easier to tune? I heard the 1.4 ECU tends to be very stubborn.

[@LeadFootash23]

@@z-trip5457 no it's the other way around. The 1.3 ECU can't be mapped, you have to run an aftermarket or piggyback ecu. The 1.4 and 1.0 coilpack engine ecu's can be mapped though.

What mods you had for the chassis? sounds like you're scrubing tyres on the arches

[@LeadFootash23]

It wasn't scrubbing, think one of the engine mounts was on its way out so was vibrating when i let off the throttle. As for handling mods i had BC coilovers, full Gizfab brace kit, 15" wheels with federal 595 rsr tyres and all interior had been stripped out. All corner weighted and set up properly

[@youtubeadamw5703]

@@LeadFootash23 u reckon braces are better or a roll cage?

[@LeadFootash23]
