I need help, I am looking into buying a 1.2 or 1.0 Litre Nissan Micra K10 '91 Manual and was wondering if I could do an engine swap for performance, it will be my first car and want to do as much as possible to get it looking good and fast , any help I will be grateful for.
Forget it. It is completely pointless. Accept your first car is slow and enjoy it for what it is. Have you tried an insurance quote for something with an engine swop?! There are thousands of faster cars than yours - save up and buy one of them in a year or two when you have some NCD.
I'll bet the OP never posts back with a build thread....
OP, get some quotes first. with your name ( 98 ) I presume that makes you about 18 years old ?
get some NCD under your belt, then start modifying. there is one thing insurance companies hate more than young drivers, young drivers in modified cars !
put some money away each week into a car fund and it will soon build into a nice pot ready for when you have a few years claim / accident free motoring and can hit the modifying.

Did you look at insurance quotes with an engine swap/modifications?
I only looked at non modified insurance quotes at the minute, I'm wanting a good old car to modify though.RyanS98 said:
Thanks guys, I think I will get the 1.2 and just install a turbo and Tubular manifold exhaust system onto it if possible.
Make sure you budget for upgraded fuelling and a standalone ecu to manage all that, a turbo conversion isn't as easy as just whacking the thing on If planning an engine swap also make sure to account for mounts, gearbox, driveshafts, loom etc. In short, you'll spend at least 5x the cars value on a swap, and it'll all be wrapped up in an old Micra body. Wait it out and get something decent.. and you can never do enough research, get forum surfing!
