Actually that's another good choice Doc? Pity you can't just whip down to your local wrecker and pick one up (unless you live in japan!). Still I guess you could measure up the Australian variant?

I have seen the cg13de dummy fitted in a clubman mini and no cutting was required for it to fit. PIstons auto in baywater is the guy doing it and plans to do a drive in drive out conversion. I went and good a price for engine and gearbox at a jap wreckers in footscray and the it is $1300 engine and gearbox. nice price

Any ideas on what the drive in drive out would be?

i Asked about price at the start of 2004 and i think he was aiming for around $6000.

On one of the micra sites a dude stated he got 88kW out of the engine with no internal mods. Just a good exhaust, air intake and something bout tricking the computer into giving the motor more fuel. Then he said he could just beat SSS pulsars and that was in a micra.
supposedly these engines are better than the swift engines just detuned for a shopping car.
Also you can get the March super turbo motor for $1000 but the dude said you had to be brave coz if it breaks, parts are impossible to get.

I'm pretty sure Pistons aren't doing the Micra conversions now. I enquired a couple of months ago and I was told that they sold their prototype, but they may be doing them again.

do you think these motors are as strong as gti motors? In driveline?
