Part 1 - Building an £850 hatchback into a competitive race car.

- The global pandemic scuppered our carefully laid plans for the spring and summer of 2020 so we needed something else to pass the time and to look forward to. Enter the City Car Cup...
Launched in June 2020, the new series from the BRSCC is open to the Citroen C1, Toyota Aygo and Peugeot 107 and captured our imagination instantly so we leapt upon the chance to whip out the grinder and set about finding a car to cut up.
This new series will detail the build, preparation, testing, racing and development of the car. In a frankly unbelievable twist, the car is already finished and has been raced, so we're back on the other projects while this series airs.

2020 has been full of the strangest happenings, not least among them is that we've actually finished a project. This one is done and dusted for the most part and we're already back on the other two after an enforced hiatus. Apologies for the delay in bringing you our normal shows, but it was out of our control. Hope you enjoy this in the meantime and don't worry, more Binky and Escargot is coming your way soon.
You can stop apologising, chaps. It's been seven years already; you think we're bothered by a couple extra months?
@@georgehelliar lololol
@@georgehelliar Yes, I'm bothered. I need to see Binky in British Racing Green paint. My life is empty without that.
You are fantastic! Keep being awesome.
Bad Obsession Motorsport
Welcome back lads, I hit the botton so hard, that I broke my mouse. All the best lads.
Absolutely best build channel on TH-cam, by far!
*blushes*
Agreed.
My top 3 are BOM, Goonzquad and some guy called Freddy who bites off way more than he can chew but somehow manages to come good every time.
I concur.
I had just finished watching your last video Freddy when this notification came in, a good Friday!
It's true. Now to get them a wrecked exotic so they can start #trending. ❤️ U Tav
Can we just take a moment to appreciate the fact this is produced by a couple of blokes in their shed! Big budget tv stuff doesn’t come close.
Thank you.
Bad Obsession Motorsport Looking forward to this series... Binky can wait- a flawless white paint job deserves the time, anyway ;)
@@locohombre79 British Racing Green, surely
The Atheist Monk Maybe... on the roof?
@@locohombre79 BRG Body, White roof, mirrors and wheels. Classic.
“It’s time for Nick to fit the Cage”. Ah, I see what you done there.
Ah, but they're just acting....
@@984francis Something that Mr. Cage has hardly ever done
Did.
Another fantastic production. Looking forward to the rest of the build!
brah... Only thing better then the fiero project is project binky.. cant wait for ya next episode
hi Ronald!
Collab potential? Fiero rebuild with 3 times as many brackets, and months without updates.... okay, you may have some of this covered already. How about sourcing a new fuel tank for Binky?
@@MisterHughes l,,,
It's not Binky but I'll take anything to get my Bad Obsession fix at this point 😃
I needed a small adapter for something at home and I ended up making a template, transfering it to steel, cutting it out with a grinder, bending it by hand into a circle, folding the edges and squeezing them together with a press, finishing it off with a twatting stick.
Moments later I found myself looking at MIG welders online.
@@phenomanII cool story, but did it also "make the noise" at the end?
@@yah5o Sadly I do not own such precise and melodious equipment.
I also used a black marker, as I'm not experienced enough for blue, red or green.
motorbiker46
It’s a wise man that knows he’s not ready or skilled enough to move on from a black marker.
Sadly some falsely believe they possess the needed skills and others are completely oblivious to the needed skills meaning that many people are wielding markers well beyond their skill levels.
You in your wisdom are very close to graduating to a blue marker at the very least.
@@Crewsy Thank you for the kind words. You've genuinely given me more confidence to go for another project so that I can reach the next level. If I reach it, I shall celebrate by acquiring another power tool to aid progress in the future.
BOM: Takes years to build a mini. Builds a race car in a few weeks. Just goes to show how much more goes into a street car!
its more that it take less time to build this car as they cant rebuild the car and make brackets high and low :)
*Hears the intro sequence*
"...Wait, this isn't World of Tanks with the Mighty Jingles!" XD
Heh, same here I had multiple tabs up and went looking for the Jingles one. Thought I'd accidentally started it.
I had jingles flashbacks
I really hope you guys find all the badges to put "Toyota C107" on the back to confuse people trying to figure out which of the three it is.
Peucitryota C107Aygo can't hurt you
Got to be better than a GoUP!MiiVAG
Richard Glanville
Go up in your what?
Need badges from all three makes. 🤣
You need someone with a Cricut to bang a few of those out for you in vinyl!
oh, putting the nut a couple of turns back on before yanking at thee steering wheel...
That's the exact useful piece of advice that would have stopped me from punching myself in the face with my own steering wheel!
They say you learn from experience...
@@BadObsessionMotorsport I've heard that before.........
It does hurt when you pull a steering wheel full force into your face. My belly was aching when my mate did it.
Funny. I was just talking about this very thing with the mates a couple of days ago.
😆i once picked up an empty cardboard box ( thinking it was full (and heavy)) and smacked myself square in the face with it 😆
Poor Nick, I don’t know how he survived having to use pre made brackets
Maybe he made his own exact replicas, so only he (and maybe Rich) will ever know
Being a dealership technician, seeing you use a prybar to pull the visor stays on the headliner gave me fat goosebumps lol had to remind myself that it's a racecar
A dangerous precedent could be in the offing here as you establish a reputation as completers. I have some concerns as to how you will transport this vehicle to competition days so I hope you'll accept my advice as I recommend a 1980s Ford Cargo as a potential option. Some chaps on here started to convert an old library one and had some innovative ideas with DAF mechanicals, I don't know what became of them though, last seen in a shed.
WHAT HE SAID!!!! :)
🔥Burn!🔥
if they are mechanics i think they woud have one
BOM require some Aloe Vera!
I will accept this as a substitute for more Binky episodes, just glad to hear your usual banter and commentary which is one of the things I love about this channel.
I mean its literally bolting things on and off yet these chaps make it impossible not to watch. Greatest channel on YT by far. Big fan.
I thought this was an episode from The Mighty Jingles for a second...
Ikr!
Man, this car is an engineering masterpiece. Everything is exactly as cheap as it can be made. That one piece map pocket with compliant plastic hinge is genius in its simplicity.
It really is.
but, a map pocket? who needs a map pocket anyway?
@@almericussaxon8023
People without satnav! 😂
@@almericussaxon8023 title and regstation or torch and zip tie
@@almericussaxon8023 Oh just you wait for the space debris to "explode" and take us all back to the 80s.
23:19 He didn't say "Make the nooooiiiise!!!" 😭 But i'm really excited for this! 😁
lol , i said it without even thinking
Definitely the biggest let down of the episode. Other than it not going on for another hour or two.
Don't even try to say you didn't say it in your mind..
A C1 was my first car! I've never clicked on anything more quickly. I unfortunately blew the engine in mine accidentally shifting from second to first somewhere around 40-50 mph... I replaced the engine, and that's how I got into fixing cars. C1s will always have a special place in my heart.
Ultimately watchable! When people ask me what I watch on TV and if I like things like Top Gear (in the recent crap years) I tell them that I no longer watch TV for this kind of content, instead I find channels like this that give really high quality content with all the details that real car fans want to see.
Production quality right up there with your other series', and I'm reassured that once Binky is finished, should I still be alive, that we'll continue to get top quality videos from the best build channel on YT. Thank you legends.
I look forward to the episode where the safety turbo is installed.
I can imagine how depressed and saddened you were when you found that the kit came with its own brackets. I feel so sorry for you.
and not a gusset in sight...
@@cogidubnus1953 ... well little chance of a gratuitous gusset shot given that they just let on that he has a grinder fetish. :-D
I knew someone would beat me to a no brackets comment, since I didn't realize this was a BOM production the first day it was out!
Hah! I know something you boys don't for once! (A very rare occasion indeed)
To get the clip off that style of window window winder use a cloth. Wiggle it in until it catches one of the prongs of the hooks and pull in a line, pops it out easy and fast.
I figure it's the least I can do to give you that little nugget of info for all the education and inspiration you've delivered me over the years. I still owe you more than a few though.
Easiest way to get those window winder clips off is to feed a rag in the gap to hook the end of the clip and just pull it out. No risk of scratching any trims either.
If you are old like me, you have a couple or 3 of the stamped sheet metal tools that push the clip back, making it a quick and easy task.
I use the tool but when it's missing a shoelace works a treat
Yes, sorry I didn't see your comment before I posted the same.
that was a really fast 28 minutes lol , cant wait for next week
Going to be very strange having a new episode each week rather than each ice age....
@@alexbrown1995 not holding my breath
That's what she said.
It’s all the little things that add up to a “clean” build.
Does it matter if there’s an adel clamp on the lock button rod? Well no, but isn’t it so much nicer with one?
Edit: And you know what? It does matter. When a tech inspector is looking over a car and sees that attention was paid to such a seemingly insignificant detail, their impression will likely be that attention was equally paid to the things that *are* important.
Yes, the famous "Brown M&M gambit" made popular by Van Halen.
They do anyway. That wasn’t even my point
Fantastic video as always ! Was great to see content from you again and I can't wait to see this build!
Nick being supplied brackets and not making his own!
That's a recipe for PTSD and Vietnam style flashbacks.
Are you Evilution of Smart car how-to website fame?
Well, you heard Richard. Nick was sipping Earl Grey. Cruel world this is.
That's why Richard carefully called them 'mounts' and never used the B-word.
If you listen carefully you can hear "Binky" weeping in the corner.
Great to have you back guys,,
Awesome to see a new series guys. Looking forward to seeing some on track adventures.
“the weird part about that is he was drinking earl grey” ahahahhaha
Yeah, I loved that comment.
I nearly fainted when I heard "Join us next week." Looking forward to more
14:10 When I was younger I liked watching Benny Hill on TV, great guy and great English humor ... You guys are amazing too ... :)
"Features, not faults!" Wonderful...
doesn´t matter that there´s no mini content - just any content from BOM is top notch!!!
Who else heard that intro music and wondered if The Mighty Jingles was involved? :)
I was like "What, they are building a tank?"
LOL
If there's any crew of boffins who can get Bovington's TOG back to running spec it's these loonies... just as long as you're fine not having original parts.
THAT’S WERE I’VE HEARD IT BEFORE!
It’s been bugging me for weeks. Thank you!
If you don't like the color of the dash FLOCK OFF AND DYE!
Others channels talk about what they are going to do... then demonstrate how they are not capable of doing anything right. BOM fabricates and engineers. Everything you guys do is wellt thought out, well planned, executed well. Best show on the planet!
Love the work! Can't wait to see this finished and on the track. I wish we had access to this kind of competition here at home.
Also can't wait to see the return of the other projects!
Amazing, a new series! I had wondered what I was going to watch through my 50's!
was wondering when "yakkety sax" would make an appearance and i was not disappointed. good work, lads! love this idea
That's the ring tone on my phone. Always makes people smile when it goes off....
Great to see you posting again. Lovely vid :)
@23:20 I’ve been waiting a looong time to hear that! Great to see a new series, 2020 is worth living again!
Watch the price of Citroen C1's go up now!
And ebay and Facebook market littered with interior trim pieces
Anything that gets people into real motorsport at reasonable cost has got to be awesome, thanks guys!
This is awesome! My girlfriend owns a Pug 107, but sadly an auto... when I saw the rules and regulations I instantly pictured myself racing that yellow bubble with wheels... i'm so happy to see someone building it and uploading it to youtube! thanks!
Just found this series of videos, and am really enjoying it. Thanks for making this, guys👍
I think this new adventure will encourage others to partake in the City Car races, using these videos as a tutorial!
Really enjoyable video, it encouraged me to research this new class of racing to discover more.
Suffice to say we'll all be eagerly awaiting Episode 2.
For the trim clips, wrap a rag around the handle and pull it back and forth. It will grab the clip and release it. No tools needed!
a stretchy rag, ideally a stocking
I second this tip - I've done it heaps of times and it works a treat
Yep, dealt with that replacing the manual winder in my car (twice! Thanks cheap eBay parts) bonus difficulty? Mine has a trim washer to fill the gap between card and handle. Sure its a two second bang into place part, but what a pain.
Absolutely brilliant content, so good to have you guys back doing what you do best! Hope we actually get to see you race it too! 👍
Brilliant. Reminds me of when I built my own cheap rally car back in 2007 - especially the cage being a PITA to fit and needing 'help' to get the main loop to the right width. Love it.
When does Nick decide to fit the engine from a 406 V6?😂
Another great project from you guys.
You can! On the bigger 106.
next week. Should be just a one episode job...
Zero chance of fitting that. Lots of adapters to make up too.
If you want a big engine you can fit the 1.8vvc engine from the Yaris (if you relocate the battery to the boot).
But at that point you should probably just buy a Yaris SR as they are pretty cheap anyway.
Whoa whoa whoa, hold on, next WEEK? I'll overdose on BOM content and then suffer horrendous withdrawals while waiting for the next episode of Project Bracket I mean Binky.
Next thing you know you'll start fitting hayabusa engibe into your Maluch:p
@@fila1445 nah, I'm already putting 1.2 punto sporting engine (+ 6 speed gearbox) into my seicento, don't need two death trap cars
You guys genuinely bring joy to the world with your content.
So glad you’re back!
19:06 "...and even our 187 lbs. gorilla, can't get it to line up." Instant like for the AvE reference!
I have used a really large bar clamp for that operation.
i thought this was going to be shite - it is not
Thanks.
See the level of banter hasn’t suffered !
Shite on this channel?!? ...naaaaaaahhhh
No shite on this channel marra, best of the best on here.
right
th-cam.com/video/WU7IfC8tl9U/w-d-xo.html
Thanks guys - as allways much appreciated, your vids on doing stuff and cocking about a little. Perfect Weekend by far!
I’ll always say, you guys are one of the truest and most well put together automotive channel on TH-cam, hands down.
So glad you chaps are back, that I instantly pressed "replay" when the episode was over. 😊
The "french shopping cart" should be the project name!
@Ross Bourne😂😂😂😂😂 vraiment
Le chariot !
@Ross Bourne "Le panier DE merde" s'il vous plaît. ^^
Those c1's have always been nippy, now even lighter it will definitely have va-va-voom💨
The Carrefour c1
Awesome boys! This was a fantastic interlude in Binky and Escargot! Top quality stuff! Congrats on the placing too!
Excellent effort, fellas! I am looking forward to future instalments. Thank you.
It's like the anti-Binky... and yet somehow it works and I love it. Looking forward to next week chaps!
The lads are back! Yee-haa!!
And you're back from the dead! Spooky! (Yes, I know he was Graham with an H, but I have to get my gags where i can.)
Thanks!!!
Nice to see your's vidéo Again!!!
Cheers from Switzerland 👍🏻
Missed you fellas, glad to see you back, great show.
The Daihatsu designed engine from Toyota in our Citroen. It took me a moment to work that out. 🤣
Daihatsu charade is greeting you ;)
ps. Hmm, GTti engine mod?
Wait, that intro twisted my melon. I couldn't work out if I was watching a Mighty Jingles or Bad Obsession video :)
glad to see i wasnt the only one
@@defendingchampion Me too, waking for "Howdy folks"
Off to the salt mines with you!
@@ewenlittle5053 I'll report you to the mighty Gnome on arrival ...
One of us. One of us. One of us.
Much love from the US, you blokes are making me homesick for the UK
We used to call those windows clips "Jesus Clips" because when you pop 'em loose they shoot of any you say "jesus! where'd it go??"
I learned a trick about 15 years ago ... you use a rag between the door card and handle... almost as tho you were trying to clean in that little nook, and the clip pops of like you wouldn't believe... usually gets partly snagged in the rag do it does't go flying at all.
Our generic term for such things is "pingfukits"... ;-)
I've literally been hovering over my notifications for the last 2 months waiting for another BOM vid (by far the most addictive drug on YT) and not only is it not a Binky vid, but there isn't a single bracket made by you guys!!........... Ok all is forgiven now. Just glad you're back. Looks like it could be a fun little project! Stay safe!
5:26 you telling me that you finish this build in 2 weeks?
British humor at its finest 😂
Yeah ... the guy that's been doing my TVR (which went in for "a two week engine rebuild that will take three weeks") has taken five years now ... I reckon he was the inspiration for Project Binkey! :-D
Incredible channel!!! Why have I only just seen this! Top work lads, enjoyed video from start to finish
As much as I love Binky, and as much as I love doing my own tinkering out in the shed, I am wholly excited to see you two doing a project that is much more in line with the capabilities of much of your audience.
Keep being excellent, gentlemen!
Cue Benny Hill track, splendid.
I actually like this build even if it's not my type of car at all.
Nice to see you chaps again :-)
Great idea for a series. Very enjoyable and actually inspirational too. Entry level motorsport looks fun. Great idea by the organisers
great video, looking forward to seeing the rest. Well Done chaps!
No hidden ending? Ahhhhhh! Lovely to see you guys back in my face.
Bloody hell boys you went for a cup of tea and I thought you'd got lost
Well Done Richard, just looked at the first 2 round results, 2nd in class in round 1 and 1st in class in round 2, way to go.
Love the details of the videos, always entertaining and informative, great job!!!
I love Citroen / Peugeot, I wish we had them in the US!
US definitely don't need that junk :D
You should look into importing one and building it on your channel. I reckon it would be a hit. Im loving your focus build
Can't wait to see if Tayta Tot gets some love at some point in the near future!
haha no.
Yeah, because US doesn't have enough rolling piles of junk of its own.
Oh goodness, Marty and Moog have peer pressured you into a nuggety Yaris!
Yaris Hilton was awesome
That c1 wishes it was a Yaris!
Brilliant video! Love you guys, you're the best
And this is the Reason why you guys rock! Top notch build quality, no matter the budget. Super entertaining videos, and projects like these are a bit like a flashback to the beginning of everyone' s automotive journey. And it's a pretty cool way to get people into motorsports. You Sirs are Legends!
Thank you very much.
I was hoping you were going to do something irresponsible but memorable with the discarded airbags 🤣
Or wait to the end and sell all the left over parts for 850 quid and the car effectively becomes free.
Finally - some normality - thanks guys, I've needed this!
this is going to be a great series , for once a TH-cam recommendation that i have thoroughly enjoyed. cant wait for the next instalment .
Absolutely love it, just watched the cadwell race. Tidy little finish you had. Now to fill my need for bad absession I'm of to start binky from episode 1 again
BOM buying brackets??!! I never thought I'd see the day!
I felt a disturbance in the force.
@@theatheistmonk4385 as if thousands of BOM subscribers suddenly cried out in terror
Next WEEK?!?! Oh hell yes. This should do nicely to tide my Binky fix over.
It's awesome to see you guys back on form and giving us a good dose of Bad Obsession.
Great to see you back. Looks like an interesting project. Will be watching.
"Brute force and ignorance" My father says that all. the. time. :D
does that mean your father is Big Clive (of bigclive dot com fame) ?
It’s often shortened to just “B F and I” here in the colonies.
I first heard it as an apprentice mechanic in a Rory Gallagher song ... I still use "B F n I" on the regular here in Oz.
We used to call it the B'FASI technique-brute force and sheer ignorance (often involving angle grinders and when really stuck we brought out the gas axe…)
Hey, cool project USA needs one of these racing series.
We'll just ruin it like we did spec miata.
Amen. Toyota yaris? Ford focus? Chevy cobalt? Saab 9-3?
all of these low cost series suffer from teams where money sustitutes for talent. Like blueprinted engines, an extra 2or 3 horses is a big deal.
Awesome, guys. Thanks for uploading.
Brilliant lads welcome back. Looking forward to seeing the end results
