THIS CRAZY HOMEMADE 1L TURBO MICRA IS PURE MADNESS!!

What's really good, Gas Gang? My name's Jamie. Welcome back to Officially Gas. Now today, guys, just look behind me. We got a Nissan Micra, one litre, with a turbo on it. Guys, this car cost £600 to build from the ground up. It's just going to be jokes. So stay tuned and let's get it. All right, Jack, welcome to Officially Gas. You're on, mate. Mate, I've got to say, this is definitely a first for me. It's a one litre, so I think you've got the prize for the smallest litre car on the channel so far. I'll take that. But this one is a turbo. It's a crazy contraption, bro. Do you want to talk to people at home through exactly what you've done to this, man? Yeah, so basically, I bought it completely stock for £325, so it was a cheap buy, just to get me around, really. But I've had one before, and I fell in love with, you know, as soon as you, you know, coil overs and that, they just become a different little go-kart, but it's a one litre. The power's just, it's not there, do you know what I mean? It's not there, yeah, yeah. I've been toying with the idea to boost it for quite a while, to be fair, then I just thought, you know what, I'll come back and find it, and I thought, you know what, f**k it, let's just get it done. And then I spent one Saturday just, I made the manifold, bits and bobs, do you know what I mean? You've literally made everything on this car, innit? Literally, mate, everything's been done by me, it's just, like I say, £600 pretty much, give or take, within the whole build, you know, wheels, the cage was £30 for the steel, do you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's just cheap and it's fun, mate, but it's just the sounds of it, mate, the power delivery is good, it does pull strong, you know, for a one litre, mate, you would not be expecting it at all. And it's just cheap fun, mate, but like I say, with the build, obviously, it's a CT9 turbo off a Glanza, so it gives it, and mate, to be fair... And that don't just fit on, innit? You've literally had to custom-made the whole manifold and downpipe and... Everything, mate, it's all been custom-made. Like I say, the downpipe, because of where the engine mount is, it's literally had so... Barely any room, so I've had to literally cut it all, reshape it into something just to get it in, and it's about 2mm clearance, mate, but it does work, do you know what I mean? And obviously, it's got the straight-path exhaust coming out the... You've got the front end of it, yeah. So it's like, pop, pop, banging around, mate, but no, it's an impressive little car. Even with Rub, he weren't too impressed with it at first, and then after he drove it, I let him have a drive last night, and he was like, you know what, mate, he said, it's f***ing sick. What kind of power do you reckon it's running? I mean, at first, because I had a manual boost controller on, and I was running it quite low, because obviously I just wanted to see if it was running, and working that, so I think it was running maybe about 100bhp, but then after sort of 2,000 miles in, I thought, you know what, let's just take the boost controller off, and then it's running standard boost as a Glanza, which is 0.65 bar. It's not crazy power, but... So, in retrospect, a Glanza's like 135 or 7, or whatever it is, standard. Obviously, it's a 1.3, so it's going to have that bit more power, so I think, but then obviously with the other mods, it's got front mount, obviously the straight exhaust, and it does run well, mate. You've got front mount, yeah, let's touch on that. It's an eBay special, yeah? eBay special, 40 quid brand new, I got that, and then I got all the piping, chopped it, you know, made it about, and I think the piping was about 60 quid or so, yeah, 100 quid all in, and you just mashed it together, to be honest with you, mate. And what's the map on this? There is no map, it's completely stock ECU, stock injectors, mate, it's just... And it runs like a dream, you reckon, yeah? Honestly, mate, you'll be impressed, as long as... Fingers crossed I don't bang it. No, honestly, mate, it does run really... Like I said, I've done 3,135 miles now, this trip over here... Since it was boosted, yeah? Yeah, since it's boosted, mate, I've done... Oh, God. It was about 80, 90 miles down here today, so... Jesus. And it was alright. And it survived. Guys, you're in for a treat today. Let's talk about the brakes. They are stock, right, I'd imagine? Yeah, brakes are stock. I had new discs and pads put on, probably like about... Is it drums on the rear of this? Yeah, drums, mate. Honestly, it does lock up a bit, but you can get a bit sketchy on the back end of it. But, yeah, no, mate, it's... You know you're driving, and honestly, you can feel everything from the steering. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it jumps up a little, because it's got... For coilovers for these, if you want to get legit coilovers, you're talking BCs, other... There's this Gecko that I'm doing for about 600 quid. You know, it's talking big money for... Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I would have loved to have done it, but the best next best thing is Corsair B coilovers. Okay, which you've got on this? Which I've got on this. Okay. It's pretty much the exact same fit. The top hole, you drill it out... Not even drill it out, file it out by a mill, mate. It's so significant, but you have to do that. Okay. Works in perfectly. I mean, tracking, I need to get it done, mate. But a lot of places are funny about, because of the height of it, you can't get the things over it, so it won't... Oh, mate, you're killing me already. This is so funny. And I see you've got Type R seats in here, yeah? Type R seats. People have asked me, like, has it got a Honda engine? It's like, well, unfortunately not. It's not, you know, just as good. Well, not quite as good. Oh, mate. And I'm looking at the back, I see all this scaffolding. This is something you've fabricated yourself. You've literally made that roll cage, the strut brace and everything, yeah? Everything, mate. Like I say, it's all been quick. I do this for myself, you know, you don't take as much pride. Well, I do take a bit of pride, but, like, I had to weld all this in the car. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it was just like... You didn't set the roof liner on fire, then? Yeah, we got some clothes with a bit of burn marks on it. To be fair, yeah, no, it's done pretty well, so... Oh, mate, you are cracking me up. I can't wait to get out of this thing. I think we've touched on it some way and shape and form, but let's... Yeah, let's not talk now, but let's get out of it, bro. Let's do it, bro. Let's have a go. Right, guys, so we're out in a Minecraft. This guy is a proper enthusiast, guys. Like, you've literally built this from the ground up, innit? Yeah, literally. You've fabricated everything, welded everything. Oh, that's sick. Like I say, it's... When someone says, built, not bought, this is built, mate. And it's been done cheap as well. But like I said to you, it's an effective car. It does work and it does... You know, for the money, mate. I don't think you can find anything more fun, you know what I mean? Exactly. And you actually do have a... Was it a Glanza? A Glanza, yeah. Which I'm just rebuilding and forging now, which is hopefully... It's going to be a T04 hybrid. I was going to go T05, but everyone's saying the lag's like... It comes in at four and a half, 5K. So, with the T04, if it comes in at four... Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm hoping for about... Just under 300 brakes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it should be... That should be interesting when it's done. Yeah, so guys... I hope we have another Micra as well. Yeah, that's it. He loves Micras. And like, fair play to him. Yeah, looking at all the panels and everything on it too. Like, bro, it's funny. Like, it's kind of like a wrap rod kind of look, innit? Yeah, man. The lacquer peeled off. The wrong colour panels. Like, the bumper all... Half mismatched. You know what I mean, bro? I love it, though. It's funny. You know what I mean? It just adds to the charm of the car, innit? Show me what this bad boy's saying, yeah? Nissan Micra. Just keep pulling, mate. That's it. You've come all the way up to 18RT. I mean, just honestly, mate. You just keep it going, man. You know what's so joke? Normally, everyone pulls off. Like, they come off the throttle after the road. Man just keeps it pinned. It just kept coming, like... This is joke. Obviously, it's a joke. You just pinned it. Pulled out the whole corner. It's so joke. That's the thing with it, man. It's just... Bro, I was nearly having a heart attack. I was laughing so much, bro. This is so joke. Oh, my God. Yeah, we're coming to a round. Sorry, I had to leave that round. I was going to... I thought... This is... God. This is crazy. All right, guys. So, it's the gassed up 0-60s with the draggy, bro. This is just going to be too joke. What did you say these do it standard in? I think it's somewhere between 14 and 16 seconds. So, it's a proper... Yeah, it doesn't move at all, mate. But now with the turbo, bro. 700 kg. Guys, this is going to be real interesting. I mean, hopefully, the road is long enough. That's it, man. Hopefully, we can get there. Yeah. So, guys, stay tuned. This is going to be sick. All right, guys. So, it's his first attempt, bro. When you're ready, let's get it. Micro time. Woo-hoo-hoo. God, yeah. 60. That was a 10.71. So, it's... Oh, it's not good. That's not good. Well, you shaved about five seconds off the stop time. Yeah, we're doing well, mate. What are you saying? You're going again? Yeah, we'll have to go again. He's going again. I've got to get that sub-10, mate. All right, guys. So, it's his last attempt, bro. Let's hit the sub-10s. Let's get it. Ready? Yeah. It was a 10.78. Was that not exactly what you got before? All right, this car. Oh, it's fun, though. It is fun. It's not a 0-60 straight line car, is it? It's not good for that. No, to say the least. I'm sure you didn't make it onto the leaderboard because every front-wheel-drive car is sub-6 seconds on my leaderboard. So, I'm about halfway off the line. Yeah, who cares? I'll put the leaderboard up now, guys, so you can see where he is. I know he didn't make it. I think I barfed. But it's all fun and games. Micra time, guys. Man is in the micra, the turbo micra. What turbo did you say it's got again? CT9, which is off a standard Glanza. Levels. Guys, what are you thinking about this? This has got to be one of the craziest things I've had on the channel, mate. This is… It just feels nuts. What am I in? Yeah, that's what you're thinking. What the **** is this thing? This is… I'm just going to get rolling. You say you don't mind being bashed off the limiter? No, bash it all you want. Bro, there is no… There's no rev gauge, guys. So, I don't know where… I'll probably be bashing it by accident first, but… Everyone does, mate. Because it's like, where is it? And it's like… Mate, let's just get rolling. The clutch is a bit… The throttle is a little bit stiff, isn't it? Yeah, yeah. You feel it, mate. Jesus. The throttle almost feels rusty, bro. This is a joke. Alright. This is crazy. It feels so small. Yeah, that's the thing with it. It's very small. You feel it when you're driving it. Just feel it. Don't get me wrong. You get a bit of steering wheel wobble and that. But, *******, it's… Well, like I say. You can see that it does… It can take the power, can't it? Standard clutch in that, yeah? Yeah, standard clutch. Standard in everything except from a turbo. Yeah, man. Bang that limiter. Alright, let's get it. Okay. A little bit of turbo sound. Yeah, man. You get some spools in there. Orgital. It's a bit funny. It is funny. Everyone drives it. They say, where is it? It's somewhere in there. We're flying. Well, like I say. You just keep going. Keep going. Look at that speed, though, bro. Yeah, bro. That's all I've got to say, bro. It's like, **** it. What the hell? It's… A little bit of steering wheel wobble. Yeah, you feel it. Yeah, man. That's when it gets a bit ******* sketchy on the back end. Oh, mate. It's a joke, though. Turbo. One litre. Let's get it. Oh, limiter. Oh, it goes. It goes. Now it moves. Look, here's the money here, bro. Woohoo. This is quick on these back roads. Brakes are quite reassuring. They are to me, man. It must be because it's so light. You don't have to have such a big stopping power. Like you say, if you try to stop one and a half to two and a half, it's a lot. You've got to have the big brakes. This actually stops. It feels like it does. I haven't had to emergency brake. It feels like we've died. What? It feels like we've died. We did crash in it, but we've got a roll cage. We've got a roll cage. The roll cage will still be there, but we'll be gone. Yeah, that's it. One thing left. The roll cage is sitting there. Oh, mate. This is a joke. All right, guys. So that is a wrap. I am ending the video here. All I can say is this is just pure laugh, bro. It's pure joke. It's crazy. You can keep it pinned. Full commitment everywhere. Mate, you're the man. You're a joke. I love you. All right, mate. This guy's energy is sick. All right, mate. Thank you for coming, man. Thank you for coming.
