Went to japfest 2 at Donnington today with Gibbo and Bicepo from here. Was an epic day, the sun stayed out for us and the drifting was amazing!

here are a few pics I took!

MICRA SPORTS CLUB YESSSSSSS.

Awesome pics mate, looks like a good day out. Some of the cars are not to my taste but they engines do look awesome.

Those pipes on that orange GTR :eek:

Cookeh · 10 Jul 2011 at 22:44

So many nasty Micras :eek:

Question, why do quite a few of those cars have tyres that don't fully cover the rims? :confused:

I am trying to understand what it must be like to attend and display at an event filled with as many awesome cars as this one, but as a member of the Nissan Micra Sports Club.

I know mate. I didn't even know such a club existed!

Yeah quite a few cars had stretched tyres, i think it looks terrible but a lot of the 350z and civic owners did it.

I think there are a few special Micras out there, I'm sure I recall at least one with an SR20DET being transplanted into it.

Oh they do. It's just a scene trend. Get a crap car, drop it very low, and put some 0 offset wheels on it.

BEHOLD LOW AND SLOW.

stretched tryes cant perform well surely?

LOL safe. Well Andrew Moore approves of tyre stretching so that's enough to know it's a bad idea alone.

That GT-R looks awesome in that colour! Weird exhausts though.

Lol'd at the Micra Sports club.

People running stretched tyres do so because they are interested in aesthetic mods though, performance/handling etc. (or lack of) is not their priority.

My race modified on on GT5 is epic! Totally pwned the Lightweight Cup!

Philz0r · 11 Jul 2011 at 00:09

My mate used to own one but rotted underneath and sold it. He delimited it and it got to 95mph lol not bad for 650cc but if u want the roof down it was like tetris putting it in the boot.

Do Nismo even make parts for the micra?! I highly doubt it but you cant put anything past the Japs and their cars

Why are the decals back to front on the OS of that FTO?

One picture of MX-5s? Poor show!
