Is it forged bro or is it stock internals? And did you put bigger injectors in to prevent piston 4 failure? Smashing it like that on the ring with stock fuel injectors is just a recipe for catastrophe.. really hope you got that P4 issue under control..
Me too. My most fun laps this year were with "slow" cars. Unfortunately the general audience most of the time disagrees and at the end of the day I need to rake in the views.
@@mgcharoudin I enjoyed a lot this video and the one on the Saab Cabriolet! What about to drive a Suzuki Swift Sport on the ring? I know they're popular among the Rent companies near the ring due to their cheap price but fun and with great handling. Hope to visit finally the Ring in summer 2023.
Heck of a bargain car and he's done almost enough to make it very usable. "Almost" as in: Upgrade the brakes and fluid ASAP. Still a heck of a lot of fun can be had for relatively little money.
If it wasn't gonna break after 10 laps then it would be a golden bargain indeed. I didn't know about this car and thought how tf could I miss such a gem.....But 5k is extremely cheap and the reliability is absolutely nonexistent with this one so yeah rip.
If the owner ever see this, and he didn't already have one, install a front subframe brace. Forge have one and makes pretty good difference for the bucks! He could also upgrade to some used Nurburing edition brakes to stay in budget.
i agree however making it too stiff in the front can make it understeer a lot. i have 1 custom subframe brace and 1 omp brace in the front, and 1 strut bar in the rear of my mito QV (same chassis) and now it has perfect balance for my driving style.
A pretty good entry point into track driving. You were basically extracting everything out of that car. Can't really do that in the more powerful and expensive machines. No doubt they have their own charm and beauty but low price, low hp cars are a vibe too. If only the gopro stayed in it's place so one could see the speeds clearly.
Great to see this car on the channel performing really well. Refreshing change to all the expensive cars we usually see. The future is safe when young enthusiasts like this get involved. He will be so pleased with the results when he takes Misha's advise and upgrades the brakes on this feisty little motor.👌👍
What lovely ratios in that trans. Spacing between 4-5-6 is like perfect. Really impressive package for the price. Maybe I'd rather have it for 7k with proper brakes
I'm impressed how this little thing can move but I see too many times people adding tons of power and never do brakes. First thing to be done on cars or bike are brakes and tires then suspension even weight savings before power. If you dont have cash for 2000$ BBK a simple 200$ pad set will change everything along with brake oil and some good lines. This car in competent hands will do good things but in beginner hands the lack of good brakes will end badly. Otherwise nicely done on the car shows how you can still have great fun without having to go into a money pit of high end cars and big budget parts.
Exactly! I think a lot of times it's just about impressing others, as 240 or however much horsepower sounds more impressive than in the 100s range, and it can be done with a few hundred euros.
I know that brake oil is a thing to reduce condensation correct me if i am wrong but when i first resd it i had a giggle 🙈 but must have been typo i assume 😁
@@norbertkrasovski2427 changing to better oil (motul 660 is what I use in my s1000rr race bikes and my M3 track car) will result in boiling points being much higher then stock dot fluid. Have no clue where you got condensation from.
@@taxi615 doesnt oil have higher what you call clamping qualities to avoid condensation in brake hoses. Well at leadt thats what i was explained by one cosworth engineer... So dont know either i got something wrong or i am confusing something or i cant perhaps explain it what i have in mind. But what you mean about boiling point makes sence.
@@norbertkrasovski2427 the fact racing fluid can withstand higher boiling points make that it won't expand giving you full braking forces on the pedal. Add steel lines and you'll never get a spongy pedal again but you need to get good pads and rotors. If you change fluid pads and lines your 95% there and it's still on a budget so to speak. Disks are great but for track days and street use not a priority you can get overkill pads under 300$ motul 660 or other brands isn't so bad and steel lines are mostly under 200$ for all 4 corners even some come with the clutch line if it's a manual car. A car like in the video you should have more than enough brakes under 1000$ with everything upgraded and thats pretty good money for the stopping power you'll get. Most likely at this point in the build you as the modder will have some deals with the shop you deal with and can get rebates on lines pads and rotors. For this type of car BBK aren't a priority just great basics are you'll be having tons of fun on a budget as this kid did.
Please more of those affordable underdogs! @Misha Charoudin That looks like loads of fun! Lightweight instead of Premium and heavy, affordable instead of rich guy ... but still tyres on the edge of grip. One definition of amateur racing. Love it!
I had one as a loaner for a week once. Very fun car and looks like it has a huge potential to be a great track tool for loads of fun laps. For me the logic would always be the other way around though: increase power after you are sure the brakes will handle it and then some more. Awesome video!
Nice to see one of these out on track. I purchased(Vauxhall Corsa VXR) one of these brand new back in the day - 2008. Absolutely loved everything about it lol. The best thing was the standard Recaro CS seats
I love my Corsa OPC with performance package (Drechsler Diff 330mm Brembo brakes) too. I have 240hp, 300nm torque, ST-X Coilovers, Motorkrep 3Inch exhaust from front to rear, Wagner intercooler. And it will get a 320 hp/ 1.8l Upgrade with a reworked motor. Also love this car. Nice vid! I Feel that a lot. He should invest in a downpipe because the cat blocks the exhaust gas and overheats the turbo. That can lead to cracks in the exhaus case of the turbo. I have that on my own corsa at the moment. Need a new turbo. Oh and he should allways run it on 100 or better 102 octane fuel. That is mandatory from the Opel. Engine oil is ravenol 5w-40 the best for that small pocket rocket.
@@GJB21 You will get a much more linear torque curve with a Z16LEh or k04 turbo if you do 1.8l. I do not want to have more than ~320 bhp and ~400-440nm. I rather invest in a KW V3, powerflex bushes and manthey racing setup.
@@matthiasschmitt2311 ah okay, I’m guessing that’s because the bigger engine can flow more air earlier? And as in you want to take it to MR for them to do a custom setup?
@@GJB21 Yes, it will become more like the stock curve but with a LOT more power. You do not have that turbo lag. Yes, Manthey will do the coilover setup because I want it perfect. :)
Get the NRE-Brakes and upgrade the M32 with the NRE-LSD or with Corsa E Perfomance Pack Parts, upgrade conrods and piston. 240hp will kill the stock internals soon or later... and if that happens your 5k car will need a 7k repair. A catchtank would help , the X/16LEx Engines produce pretty big and nasty blowby "products". The Corsa VXR/OPC is the most fun of all VXR/OPC-Models... good power, not to expensive, easy to tune and very forgiving... more fun than any VW Polo or Golf. And if anyone is interested in getting one get a Euro4/Euro5-Model so you can drive with legal sport/race-downpipes in countries where it matters.
Upgrading the brakes is a FIRST for a track car. I have seen way too many injuries from great drivers cause of lost brakes. The last thing you want on track is a sudden loss of brakes. The helplessness you feel will make you never make the same mistake twice.
Thanks for this amazing vid. I love affordable cars that everyone can have fun with. In the end its not all about power and speed. Its mostly about fun and improving oneself.
Great driving from Misha, especially whilst adjusting the go pro mount!! Marcel remained unfazed throughout..The Corsa OPC or VXR as its known in the UK is a wicked cheap car. I had a Nova SR with 70hp as my first car and that seemed fast!!
I am incredibly supportive of this kind of build for the nordscleife. I'd do a couple of things: brakes, as you said: pads, braided lines and fluid, and a bigger coolant and oil radiator and. Lots of time at full throttle!
Good fun. Highly surprised we haven't seen you out in a well prepd track Clio given how popular they are! If I ever make it one day and still have it you can have a go lol
As always: Steelflex brakelines, SRF fluid, Pagid/Endless and brakes should be fine for the Ring. Don't cheap out on them when you go the first time. Having no brakes can ruin your whole day.
Great video, you don't need huge horsepower to have fun, I'm fortunate to have a good collection of cars to play with, but my go to cars are 1990 MX5's or early 70's BMW 2002's, I have one of each at my 2 homes, just great little throw around cars with enough power to have fun & not get into trouble, Rj in Oz
Can't lie this car is a lot of fun to drive, a friend of me got one and I got to drive a small round in it. Feels really light and has good handling, only thing I didn't like is the straight line speed. But I think that is because my own car (Cupra R mk2) has 325 hp and these corsa's only have 192 stock. Anyways, really nice video!
I put Zimmerman drilled rotors and some good quality OEM pads on mine, feels great daily driving, but slightly fades if you really thrash it, I would probably go with tried and proven pads if i was more focused on track use. You should definitely try and go bigger if you can! Otherwise, this car is amazing, the engine is kinda trash, but there do exist forged internals, which i have on mine, and can say it works perfectly fine :D
Zimmerman are really good! I've Zimmerman + ferodo ds3000 pads, braided hoses and rbf600 fluid and I think is a really good combo for fast mountain road/trackday use.
1000kg? aren´t that Corsas quite heavy? I think 1300kg referring to Opel datasheet, but in reality almost 1400kg. Removing 300-400kg by removing the interior and adding a cage is a bit optimistic in my eyes. A drive onto a scale would be interesting.
@@GJB21 My car papers say 1270kg. But I own a fully "all" in setup from the factory. You can bring the car to about 1120-1150 kg. But you need to remove the heavy recaro sporster for that. They are about 15kg each.
That digital gadget is coolant temeprature display, as opels of that generation don’t have it on dash. I had it in my Astra H and I also put it in my fathers Astra H with 1.7 TD engine, they are prone to loose coolant because od bad material coolant pipes. Mine devices are Autool brand and they are still working
I loved the 1 arm fella in the carbon KTM in the other video right went out for a quick lap ended up staying out the 5 laps later mischas face was hilarious 😂
Wow Misha turn him self from Comunist Boris to german race driver! its like history! the best Russians in Rushan империя are the Germans! amazing! :) the car is amazing ...its one of my dream cars that i never have! amazing!
"Diffirent brakes" what do you mean break calipers or pads? i mean the same brake calipers are golf gti's etc. What brakes or pads do you recommend? i got a GTI. maybe yellowstuff pads? I will isntall a big brake kit but for now im running stock.
i was told these engine's wheren't able to be tuned since the piston rings are a weak point? anyways i own a mito QV (same chassis) and they are briliant cars with some small mods. especialy for the price
Always believed that OPCs were great bargain sportscars. Heck, even a regular Insignia with 2.0 turbo-petrol engines are somewhat bargains compared to other executive cars. Turbo petrol Opels back when they were part of GM you could get really great engines, not very reliable ones but pretty powerful for what you would expect.
I would guess that the car has more weight on front axle, and when braking weight transfer adds even more on front axle, so you really do not need brakes on rear axle.
The smallest vented rotors you can put on the rear (from another Opel / Vauxhall) are 292mm which would be a touch big on such a short wheelbase car unless the fronts were at least the 330 or 345mm setup with 4/6 piston calipers. They have a Z16LER 1.6 litre engine.
Very fun little cars lol Mine is stock, I kinda wonder is that rollcage actually street legal? I read somewhere we can't register those in Germany..? Also, is it forged or just completely stock internals with a full exhaust system?
ngl if i was sitting in the passenger seat as my car's brakes were failing I'd for sure apologize immediately and see if I could get some friendly advice during the lap. you have a captive Misha for like 6 minutes, make the most out of it! I'm sure the experience overall was illuminating and hopefully the owner & car come back stronger than ever 💪

"Diffirent brakes" what do you mean break calipers or pads? i mean the same brake calipers are golf gti's etc. What brakes or pads do you recommend? i got a GTI. maybe yellowstuff pads? I will isntall a big brake kit but for now im running stock.
OPC POWER 🔵🔵💪💪
I would be checking cylinder #4 after that lap 😜
Nice video! But the seatbelts seem dangerous (not horizontally placed behind the seat). Cannot see it well but worth looking into.
You down with O.P.C., yeah you know Mi(sha). #fadybynuture thanks for the content Misha! Vauxhall through the Foxhole...🍀💫. Note: nice DASHcam😁
this is the way to do Nurburgring - cheap and fun
Poor Marcel was very quiet during the lap. His poor Opel getting trashed by Misha 🙂 Can't recall him saying "send it" before the lap...
Na, if I didnt want it to get driven hard I wouldn’t have gotten in contact with Misha😉
i was told these engine's wheren't able to be tuned since the piston rings are a weak point? anyways i own a mito QV (same chassis) and they are briliant cars with some small mods. especialy for the price
Always believed that OPCs were great bargain sportscars. Heck, even a regular Insignia with 2.0 turbo-petrol engines are somewhat bargains compared to other executive cars. Turbo petrol Opels back when they were part of GM you could get really great engines, not very reliable ones but pretty powerful for what you would expect.
Small does = Fun. Nice lap. ✌
Soon piston number 4 go by by. It's common problem at corsa opc's.
Misha right hand is going for speed up all the time.. 😅😂
Wow I used to have the same but nurburgring edition it's way faster than OPC.
It’s not way faster in a straight line, they only have about 10bhp more. Around the the bends yes as they have LSD and Bilstein suspension
@@GJB21 6.6 sec VS 7.3 sec in the real world its way faster bro, even the gear ratio is shorter.
@@aboodalhussni8933 I’ve raced my mates clubsport and the difference really ain’t that much. The gear ratios are the same, it’s only got an LSD
Would love to see you do a lap in an R53
lol brake fluid and pads are the first track upgrades
The GoPro actually didnt wanted to be used this time haha
Incredible how bad the traction is without LSD :-D
Apart from upgrade pad brakes, owner could upgrade rear ones with ventilated rotors, besides that, great little car.. Those have an Ecotec engine?
I would guess that the car has more weight on front axle, and when braking weight transfer adds even more on front axle, so you really do not need brakes on rear axle.
The smallest vented rotors you can put on the rear (from another Opel / Vauxhall) are 292mm which would be a touch big on such a short wheelbase car unless the fronts were at least the 330 or 345mm setup with 4/6 piston calipers.
They have a Z16LER 1.6 litre engine.
Jesus misha his poor engine and gearbox over revving 😂😂😂
How was the sitting position? From this camera angle it looks like driving a delivery van 🤪
It wasn't low, but I guess the previous owner adjusted it to his liking.
Seeing from the front lip and then space between wheels and arches, the car could be lower to the ground.
@@jankees4037 and then scrape everywhere....
@@jankees4037 Yes but you need suspension travel on the ring.
how were the federals? compares to like a ns2r ? im im the market for some budget semi's
I really dislike them tbh. Hard to get heat in them.
@@mgcharoudin same for the ns2r?
Where I can buy parts for this engine in Europe?
😎👍OPC❤
sumart not right wi that spanner light on dash. There notorious for number 4 piston be careful
While there isn't too many comment, can someone please tell me if the Misha's GR Yaris is the one with a Torsen diff (track edition/circuit pack)
It is
Arnt these supposed to be a bit unreliable in the engine department?
Ive heard a few stories about problems with engines .
Awesome 👌
Very fun little cars lol Mine is stock, I kinda wonder is that rollcage actually street legal? I read somewhere we can't register those in Germany..? Also, is it forged or just completely stock internals with a full exhaust system?
You can
@@mgcharoudin Thanks for clearing that up! 🍻
You should do more cheaper cars
Is anybody going to talk about harnesses on reclining seats? 👀
Hey Misha any chance of Vid on 120n🤞👊
ngl if i was sitting in the passenger seat as my car's brakes were failing I'd for sure apologize immediately and see if I could get some friendly advice during the lap. you have a captive Misha for like 6 minutes, make the most out of it! I'm sure the experience overall was illuminating and hopefully the owner & car come back stronger than ever 💪
Good video
