As some of you may or may know, I will be competing at this year's TOTB 6 Event in Elvington, U.K.

Some of you may know that this is the event to compete in to show what your car can do, in 3 separate disciplines, 1/4 mile drag, top speed (1 mile) and handling circuit. The car must be fully road legal, insured, taxed and run street legal tyres (no cheater slicks allowed).

After a number of trips back to Knockhill (my local track, as used by the BTCC) last season, I found that I had missed doing the circuit racing, and realised that I so wanted to be able to do it again (SAFELY), as opposed to an all out drag car.

So we are in the process of prepping the car to unveil it within the next few months (early April at the latest), hopefully with a bit better handling.

Here is are a number of pictures showing the progress so far...

I will keep you guys updated as the work progresses over the next number of weeks. We still have to fit the wide arch kit on the front and then prep. it & paint it black. Then have the suspension setup, and then finally map it for higher boost levels.

Cheers

P.S. This is the sort of thing I am up against at TOTB, albeit in a different class...

Holy crap.

Nice.

That thing has to be a riot.

Love the wheels :D. Oh yeah, the car is looking good too ;)

Ohh, so you got the R888 Toyo's on there. You're going to have to tell me how well they do on the road coarse :D. The rumors say that we (U.S.) will be getting these tires to replace the RA-1 tire eventually.

Those are some FATTY tires! Love that car man! Good luck!

That car is fawking awesome!

Quickly becoming my favorite car on the forum. Nice to see some safety in the car. I'm guessing that will stiffen her up, as well. Keep it going, mang...:biggthump

Very damn cool. Like I have said many times I would love to drive that thing. It has to be crazy.

I love this car. Makes me want to get rid of some weight in my B13!

Did Nissan make any really small cars like that here in the US?

LOL, yeah, we have a storage container (well, used to have) outside that had some parts stored, like a RB25DET engine, transmission & diff, numerous SR20 cylinder heads, bolt, pistons, rods, a handful of turbochargers and countless Honda 'b' series parts.

It would have been a nice haul for the local thief wanting some Japanese auto. parts...LOL!

tuned gtir engine and 4x4 running gear is all you need in the micra now :biggthump , best of luck this year fella

i love everything about this car, cant wait to see it in all black.

stratton.

Nice work I admire it.

Wow that car is the 'dog's bollocks' (sp?)as my english friends are fond of saying.

Aren't you a little nervous about the wheel studs? They seem like they are stock Micra running gear.
