Daydream: Fast forward a couple years...

Buy a used Micra
-Cheaper initial cost
Swap in a Mirage 1.2L engine
-smaller, lighter weight?, more fuel economical horse than is available in Micra
While swapping either keep Micra manual transmission
-has to be better ratio than Mirage OR
Final gear swap in Mirage transmission to
-improve ratio
Start aeromodding
-rad blocks because of ease, boat tail to compensate for hatchback shape

Win, win, win, win, win!

Dream ending, waking out of it now, wife to refuse (m)any mods due to aesthetics.

Good morning everyone, hope you had good dreams too.

Benphyr.
