- Last week i took the 1.3 Micra to Three Sisters race track, unfortunately i was an idiot and didn't tighten up the camera mount properly and the camera filmed the floor on my most eventful session where i managed to pass quite a lot but this session was full of stuff that was considerably quicker than me in a straight line, i managed to hold most of it off though and battled it out with an MX5 for most of the session.
Check out the footage :)
The car is a stock 1.3 16 valve cg13de engine with BC coilovers, Gizfab handling package and 15" team dynamic wheels with federal RSR tyres.
It still has the standard brakes so overall the car isn't highly modified at all.

I love this little thing.
That thing looks like it carries more speed through slow corners as well. Great sounding car!
three sisters looks like a really good laugh - perfect for small cars.
You need to get the Ignis on there mate, it would be so perfect.
looks like a blast to drive
Nice goes well that 👍
Thanks mate, has nothing on your Escort. That thing absolutely flies!!
Good work mate
Thanks, taking it to Teeside on Monday to get a bit more practice in 😁
@@LeadFootash23 a nice ,hopfully you vil make a vid.cheers dude
Don't know if it would be of any use but a rev needle? You can get factory sets or aftermarket, and there are tutorials on fitting. Maybe a future mod?
I have bought one already, i just haven't got around to fitting it yet :)
Sounds awesome, looking forward to seeing it
@@damiandarrington6480 i think i'll have to fit it before i take it to the Nurburgring. It's not too bad on this track as i only change gear twice on each lap and i know it hits the limiter of 2nd at 55mph so i can judge it off that but i think it'll be a bit more tricky on a bigger track.
Has one same to same... no power steering no abs no airbag no aircon
No ecu .... still a very good car
So tell me more about the shock absorbers rear and front and the tyres size
Looks great! But why didn't you heel and toe?
I'm 6'8" so my knees hit the steering wheel before i can get my left foot on the brake 😂 i need to lower the seat and get spacer for the steering wheel to give me a bit more room but i just haven't got around to it yet.
@@LeadFootash23 ah okay 😂 yeah I'm a short guy so it's perfect for heel and toeing. When are you going to the nürburgring? I want to drive a lap on my current setup this summer
@@mrskylinegtt i'm planning to go on 15th August for a week. I'm going to try and strip a little more weight from it before then if i can as i think it's going to struggle a little bit on the up hill sections.
@@LeadFootash23 if I've got a couple of days of maybe I can join you :)
@@mrskylinegtt yeah for sure man.
Drop me a message on Instagram if you decide to go. @leadfoot_ash
Are you planning on taking your Micra?
That hand placement...
I'm 6 foot 8 and the seating position is all wrong. I think because i'm sat too high and too close to the wheel i've adopted this strange hand position because i'm holding the wheel too high up.
I don't drive my other cars like that. Need to get some side mount seat rails so i can move the seat back more and have it lower.
LeadFoot TV fair enough
@@LeadFootash23 THE drivings fine mate I have an old 998 cc 02 Micra. I've driven it every day for the last 3 years .what a great little car they are reliable and easy to work on tony Leics uk
@@tonyn9858 bro i have same
But in my country car parts for UK cars are very expensive
keeps those hands fixed buddy, shouldn't be shuffling the wheel like a granny. you'll find you laps become much more consistent
I think it's because you have to give the car so much lock, like the wheel is turned over 180° on some of the corners, i've never driven like that in any of my other cars on there before but yeah you're right i need to stop it 😂
@@LeadFootash23 do one small movement before the corner so from 9-3 go to say 11-5/1-7 and then commit to the corner. everytime you take your hands off the wheel mid corner you're losing the feel of the front end. Not so much of a problem in a micra but stepping into a bigger/ more powerful fwd or a rwd
@@georgiboy001 yeah i get what you're saying, problem is i can't give it the lock it needs without taking my hands off the wheel. If you watch the wheel it goes over 180° on most of the corners because the steering rack is so long. I wouldn't be able to turn it enough even if i crossed my arms over.
It's not meant to be a sports car so the rack is a lot longer than you'd find in a more powerful car.
I could drive my Prelude and rx8 around there without taking my hands off the wheel at all because the racs were a lot shorter.
Horrible handling of the wheel.. and hand placement in general.. But with practice you'll get there.. car looks like a hoot to drive though. 👌👍
Yep definitely need to work on the hand placement, i'm fairly sure i've never driven with my hands like that in any other car but i've never had a car that needed so much lock so don't know if i've subconciously adapted this horrible driving style to make up for that 😂
Either way, now i'm aware of it i can get a bit more practice in and work on it 🙂
@@LeadFootash23 ofcourse mate. You'll adjust your driving style to the car with more seat time no doubt!. Must say I'm sorely tempted to build an sr20 k11...
