The Budget Race Car Micra is Done - It's so Good! First Drive

[@8TOM]

This cute little car something special. Glad you saved from salvage and made it to live. Great project thank you.

[@ejoautovideos]

Thank you so much for your nice comment! 😊

[@wickbom86]

Fan va jag gillar din kanal. Spelar ingen roll om avsnitten tar tid, din kanal är äkta. Fortsätt med det du gör, du gör det sjukt bra!

[@ejoautovideos]

Betyder verkligen mycket, tack! 🙏

[@PatonHaus]

Those rust repairs look excellent, you should be very pleased with the job you did on those repairs 👍

[@ghkzbor]

Good job! The result is great, especially coming from a one guy garage and not from a shop. You can do much more with your hands than most of us, keep it up, waiting for more videos and other projects maybe?

[@ejoautovideos]

Thank you so much, that really means a lot to me! 🙏 A bit of inside information: I've actually bought a new car, so a video of that one should come in the near future 😊👍

[@MarcusfotosDe]

Hey I have been binge watching your Chanel all day. So I love it! There is one thing I might help you with: sometimes your footage flickers. That is due to your cameras shutterspeed not matching the Hz value of you electric system. I'd recommend to set the camera to manual and set the shutterspeed to a multiple of the Hz of your electricity probably that's 50hz so 1/50, 1/100 should work fine. Then adjust your aperture and ISO to get the desired brightnes. Remember that aperture also affects depth of field. But that's mostly of concern on detail shots. You might want to close it (higher number) for closeups. Hope that helps.

[@ejoautovideos]

Thank you so much! Great tip🙏 I usually just shoot in auto mode because I constantly move the camera around for the different scenes. I have bought a new camera since this video that doesn't flicker as much in auto mode. Also I've noticed that the flickering is the worst when the sunlight mixes with the lights in the workshop which is interesting, do you know why? 🤔

[@gavinoliver8074]

I've been looking so forward to this build

[@villejussila1599]

I would definitely be happy paying someone to make such a nice rust repair!

[@ejoautovideos]

Ohh you are being to nice! 😊🙏

[@jan-akestenberg7176]

Blev ju kanonbra med rostlagningen 👍 fräck liten bil 😎 bra jobbat.

[@ejoautovideos]

Tackar! 😁

[@y3yee]

din serie har fått mig att vilja köpa en micra 😮‍💨

[@HypnotizinDetailz]

You are doing so well my Friend, excellent job EJO! 👌🏻🤩👍🏻

[@ejoautovideos]

Thank you so much my friend! 🙏 Hope to see some content from you in the near future 👍😉

[@HypnotizinDetailz]

@@ejoautovideos - Thanks very much for your kind words, but I gave up on my channel already - unfortunately my content didn’t really attract viewers, so it was going basically nowhere, therefore I just left it there as is… 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@leonardodeldotto3887]

love watching your videos, keep up the good work, waiting for the next one!!

[@ejoautovideos]

Thank you! :)

[@964tractorboy]

Super workmanship. Can't wait for the track-day footage.

[@ejoautovideos]

Thank you very much! 😊

[@antonh2533]

Fan va sjukt att du håller på så nära där jag bor! Bor i Viksta! 😱

[@pwilsonkelly]

I've just stumbled on this site at a time when I'm thinking of doing some of these treatments to my 2002 suzuki swift. I don't wish to make a track car though, only to make my car more street capable. I will study your videos.

[@lowrezz]

needs an allignment. Fantastic work on this car. Cant wait to see it on track

[@ejoautovideos]

Thank you! Yes an alignment would definitely be nice 👍

[@Gwlyddyn]

Underbart val av "race car". Ta den gubbigaste bilen i riket och gör racebil av.

[@aaronaaron_weis1615]

Mad respect. Good work 👍

[@jamiewood4280]

Beautiful, driving that will be like Mario kart! I just wish a Swedish KZbinr would do a video on Saab.

[@ejoautovideos]

Thank you, yes it definitely felt like a go kart. Such a nice feeling! 😁

[@lovroslisko1998]

Post more often! Great video

[@RoadRunnerMeep]

Fantastic work, love the little go karts. That rust looked bad, welding and repairs is another thing I want to learn myself. Something I'm not comfortable tackling yet on my car. I'm not personally a fan of Body iller when it comes to car repairs. I'd rather fix a hole by grinding / welding metal on it

[@ejoautovideos]

Thank you so much. 😊 Yes these cars really feels like go karts when you fix the suspension. 👍

[@MrPuggen]

Snyggt jobbat. Tycker ditt svetsjobb är väldigt snyggt och prydligt. Ser ut som en väldigt körglad Micra 😍👍

[@dirkstellmacher423]

Nice car, Well done. Thank you for this Video.

[@ejoautovideos]

Thank you so much! 🙏

[@hansjorgkarcher9504]

Nice work!! That’s a very cool project ❤

[@ejoautovideos]

Thank you, apreciate that! 😊

[@Izayoi_RS]

really nice work dude keep it up :)

[@ejoautovideos]

Thank you buddy! 😊

[@geekroute]

change out the steering wheel, you'll be surprise at the difference it makes. a lighten crank pulley is also highly recommended. you also need strut bars for the car

[@LukaFontain]

Oh nice one, thanks for fixing my Micra, I'll come and pick it up tomorrow. What's the total cost of labour by the way? XD

[@ejoautovideos]

😂😂

[@TasteTheFail]

Dope video my guy 🤙🏻 have to de-rust some of my micra as well this summer

[@ejoautovideos]

Thank you very much! 🙏

[@TasteTheFail]

@@ejoautovideos no problemo

[@rolosgamingch18]

Would love for you to restore our Nissan March! Gosh, this is such a nice and somewhat practical build you can take to the track to have fun.

[@ejoautovideos]

Thank you so much! I can tell you it's super fun just from the few little test runs I've done already 😁👍

[@ericsemskar1635]

been waiting on this vid right here

[@ritapollon]

Great job! Nice car 👍

[@ejoautovideos]

Thank you 😊

[@mrsundberg]

Snyggt jobbat

[@CharliesMaidenCovers]

good stuff

[@LucaMuzi]

Nice Work!!

[@CuriousGamer022]

Definitely need to put on a turbo in the future

[@okanyacal1659]

👌🏻

[@OkanBozkurt]

thanks for the video, your micra has become perfect condition :) do you plan any brakes upgrade?

[@ejoautovideos]

Thank you :) I will see how it performes on the first track day. If I notice any problems or lack of braking performance, then I will upgrade 👍

[@themagnushjort]

Fan vad fina småvägar ni har i mellansverige

[@rv9990]

Where are you planning to race this car? Don't know of any racetracks in Sweden? Love the content btw. Thanks! Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱🤝🇸🇪

[@ejoautovideos]

Thank you, The ones close to where I live are: Tierp motorarena, Salabanan and Arlanda testtrack. There are deifinetly better tracks than that, but they are far from where I live.

[@Klemens123]

Anyone else is binge watching this channel?

[@maxwilliamson9565]

Great video, any good ideas of what first mods I should do to my micra s ?

[@ejoautovideos]

Thank you! Yes, coilovers and wheels are the best mods IMO :)

[@GMC997]

FINALLY!

[@0Tekstyla0]

😍 delete the door deco outside for more weight reduction

[@Obada131obka0301]

Great work man. Are you going to turbo it?

[@ejoautovideos]

I'm temped to, but it would go against the original plan of having a reliable cheap car that's all about the handling. So with that being said I'm leaning more towards doing some light NA tuning instead. 👍

[@plservicebatpoleringuppsala]

Härligt att se bilen på vägarna, men ta det försiktigt, Vattholmavägarna är inte dom bäst underhålla 😊

[@gustaveklund7051]

Nice video ! Maybe get a race steriing wherl

[@xxlalbatross3287]

When you sell this project to start the next one. Then I want to buy this micra from you.😊

[@paulleggett9735]

Notice you didn't go with an Elring RMS again. I can't believe they didn't send you a replacement free of charge

[@foulisfoul1199]

Did you put an new exaust system or no

[@SeatLeonMK2]

don't you need other pistons for every turbo setup for the compression ratio?

[@sunsetfishing23]

har du en 1.0 växellåda? om inte så rekommenderar ja dem. accelerationen blir mycket bättre. lägre topphastighet dock

[@ejoautovideos]

Yes, kika på förrförra avsnittet så slänger jag på en sån låda 😉👍

[@andrebarros7703]

hi. is it possible to share link of the oil breather filter? thanks

[@JhonnyAmbie]

What about exhaust, any changes? Manifold?

[@ejoautovideos]

Yes that will come 👍

[@sdj7122]

what year is this micra ?

[@ejoautovideos]

Year 2001

[@Gurudehabitos]

Where que I get those parts?

[@RandomTubePT]

Bro the oil filter was from Stark?

[@skun80]

And 0 to 100kph was?

[@Cas_anova]

If you get a Swedish plate that starts with 'TFU'.. That'd be funny.

[@MrDanDizz]

11:30 - rekommenderar att blurra ut hastigheten xD

[@bultertix9860]

Finns ingen anledning att blurra.

[@fastlanenigeria]

What engine is that? 1.0?

[@ejoautovideos]

1.4 engine with the 1.0 gearbox 👍

[@zkan87]

bro i want this car

[@owen8538]

Did you add hp

[@ejoautovideos]

Only a 3" custom intake. So maybe 3 more hp? 😂

[@MrRedialplease]

1.0 or 1.3?

[@ejoautovideos]

1.4 👍

[@tristan8243]

these blue mail seals are junk most of the time, they go bad real quick. Only oem gaskets are worth the time to replace them imo

[@mercer982]

Victor Reinz is a really good brand for gaskets. If im not wrong, some cars actually have them as oem from factory. Never had any problems with them personally. How can you tell anything about the quality just by the color of the rubber ?

[@tristan8243]

@@mercer982 i come from the land of mx5s/japanese cars in general. you can only use oem seals on those cars. everything else leaks. The blue one is MVQ and the brown FPM material, blue is inferior in my experience. Did you install reinz on german cars by chance? Might work better on those

[@mercer982]

Allright that i didn't know, sorry. And yes mostly on vw. But to be fair, those blue ones are really rare to see here in my home country. Only seen just a few axle seals of that colour.
