The HR16DE Micra can mop the floor (or track) with a 2003 Civic Si that would be a 1.7L SOHC vs our 1.6L DOHC. Upgrading Tires, Suspension, Brakes, Intake, and Exhaust makes this little thing fly...

Here’s the link where I got mine. To be honest Black Hawk Japan is one of the best import stores I’ve dealt with. They are legit. Also very good with communication and will reply to you quite quick...
I replaced mine with an Interstate MT-121r. You can get them at Interstate Battery Centers or even at Mr Lube. I feel it’s made a big difference and never had any start issues.
It’s hard to find...
Back again! This very strange year that is 2020, I finally got to Calabogie Motorsport Park. I did a couple of Novice Days and the High Performance Driving Experience (HPDE) which gives you the...
At 26k last summer I had an issue where the driver side window started to have some issues going down. That's on my 2016 SR 5MT which has power windows. Eventually, it stopped working all together...
So after a few days of driving around open country roads of Eastern Ontario, I can honestly say that the main advantage is I can hold the gears a bit longer. Like before the MIA intake, I would hit...

The Micra is really one of a kind in this day and age. Most cars these days have so many gadgets and bells that leave you somewhat of along for the ride. The Micra is what a car should be where you...
@NBGuy89, airbags?

After the install, I took it out for a test run on some back roads. So far I'm so happy with the way it handles now. Way less body roll and the bumps are really not that bad since these are quality...
Thanks to NotASportsCar for the well described steps with pics. Here's my before and after following this method. Also as noted in his original post that they sway bar links are bit like steering...
Yes, the kit finally came! I'm planning to do the install this weekend (June 8-9). I'm actually following the steps from:...
I'd like to report following a few days of driving on my new brake pads and doing 1morelap at Calabogie Motorsports Park that the breaks are terrific! Yes, they definitely have a much stronger bite...
Kind of like a machining minus the machine? Very nice.

I finally got around to installing this and thought I could share my method for doing so since it doesn't come with instructions like the K&N kits do.
Caution: Please be careful doing any...
Thank you for providing so much detail and your source for parts!!
