I have an admitted soft spot in my heart for wild motorcycle engine swaps, which you may have noticed by now. But before that, I loved a hot hatch. The tinier, the better; and while we're on the subject, one of the earliest legit automotive crushes I remember ever having was, in fact, a classic, pre-BMW Mini. As usual, I digress, when all I really want to tell you is that, of course, you should expect me to be the one to tell you about the Micrabusa.
It's the brainchild of UK-based YouTube channel NAWFABZ, from a dude named Nathan whose day job is fabricating beautiful custom exhausts (and in fact, he does that in the same workshop in which he builds his custom vehicles that he films for YouTube). Some time ago, he decided to take a Nissan Micra K11 (that's a second-gen Micra, from the late 1900s) and swap a Suzuki Hayabusa engine into it.
While the Micra is, indeed, a tiny little car that only weighed 1,400 pounds (give or take) from the factory, it's still more than slightly hilarious to see how tiny the Hayabusa engine looks as fitted under the bonnet. There's just so much room in that engine bay, you guys. Honestly, it's kind of mad.
