Love your Golf R Tony ! 👍 the project is one of the most diverse out there on internet , with a lot of major and minor upgrades. I own a stage 2+ MK6 R as well. Love my car and yours can be an example off what we could do to ours. I have similar brake setup and it's definitely better then stock but with that much power on a race track you definitely need the 4 or 6 pot bbk and you can find it on ecs tuning as well . But if you only do drag race then I think you are good 👍👍. Best regards from Chicago USA
I can't believe you played that stupid song for 17 minutes. Ugh. Going to get my R in probably a year or so. Still saving. Beautiful car, insane amount of tuning. Love it.
Loved the video. I want my white B8 Audi S4 Avant to look similar to that. Got my APR ecu & Carbonio stg2 intake. Next is pulley upgrade, stage 2 ecu and Milltek exhaust!
Tony Garces I just got the 2017 R and I have NEVER had a car be soo friggin AWESOME just out of the box. Let alone hooking it up!! This car and the people who built this car REALLY cared about making something that was SPECIAL. It is a one of a kind vehicle. I recommend any skeptics out there to TRY and find one to test drive. I have a body shop and we get every car you can imagine. I drop them off and pick them up. Exotics. U name it. This little car has more standard options than some of the most "elite" cars I've had the pleasure of driving. And the POWER is insane just factory!! I made my appt with APR for stage 1 already. I can tell this car is special. Everyone I know asks me "why THAT car out of what ever you could have gotten ?" I hand them the keys. They come back " how much did u say that was? I fkn LOVE IT!!" I told them. U have to drive it. Don't ask me why. Just drive it. And then living with it is a dream. The car has kit and tech that my 911 turbo didn't have HALF of!! And handles just as comfy and as tidy when I want it to. It's a lil' BEAST. People think it's small so they try to take me off the line at lights. Their faces are priceless when u see them in the back and they are trying to figure out what just happened. I've eaten v8's with this that I didn't think I could. I SERIOUSLY underestimated this lil car's presence. It has a cult following for a reason. DRIVE ONE and u will see why people have to stalk this car and drive hundreds of miles to buy one. Like I did. They are sold before they hit the shelves. Your work on this R is inspiring. I also have a ORYX white one. And dark rims. I LOVE what u did here. Question. DID ANY OF THE NON "APR" PARTS VOID THE WARRANTEE? Please advise. Ty. Great work bud.
Thanks for that dude... Yeah the Golf R is a special breed of car and you have to drive one to understand what the fuss is all about. I only have the older gen Mk6 and she is so fast she can be considered a baby supercar in sheep's clothing. The Mk7 is even more special. Lighter, more advanced technology. And the modified ones will be absolutely mental. When you mean warranty void, are you talking about the modifications? Well you do void your warranty with VW, but we all live once and the older spec engine in my car has been around since the Mk5, so most of the niggles have been sorted. Was worth the risk. The car gives me lots of enjoyment in return. The other performance parts fitted to the car will have a limited warranty from the supplier purchased. Like the KW coilovers, ECS Brakes, etc.
Lovely car, good video. The only thing I would have upgraded are the front brake calipers to either 4 or 6 pot, I am not sure the standard calipers will be up for the job. Porsche Cayenne calipers do fit and they look awesome.
The stock brakes are already pretty good. The upgraded discs's pads, braided hoses and better fluid made the already good system even better. The only BBK system that will fit my alloy upgraded spindles are the kits from VWR. But I will not be able to run light 17s for the drag strip that I am planning now.
Thanks for the comments guys!Cost was quite a bit, but I did it in stages. Best would be to contact your nearest or local APR dealer for pricing as over the years pricing has changed a lot as well.
Still running on stock internals. Have gone from KW V2 to V3s... Fitted 6 pot Neuspeed calipers up front... Superpro ALK.... And it's gotten it's usual TFSI maintenance woes. Cam chain tensioner replaced, injectors replaced and wallnut blast done on carboned up intake valves. She sees a few track days and still runs strong.
Sorry but i love what' U done to the car... Im corious what's the digit for whole mods if its not secret. Currently i have w219 55 kompressor moded And thinking of sell IT And get the golf R... But no idea how much need to spend for whole upgrades. Can U throw some figures? Thanx
muito foda este carro looko....parabéns pelo carro é realmente monstro curti os trabalhos nele feito.....o cara que montou tem o dom.........parabéns mesmo marcos/castro.pr
Sick car ! I have a stage 3 plus apr golf 7R . Awesome cars . Yours is well built . Very nice . Where did get them seats ? There a must ? Or where can I buy them. . . ...? Please 👏🏻
Hey man, Im getting my golf 6 R this weekend and I wanted to find out how you put the boost pressure on your MFD screen?? Thanks and thats one hell of a car bud!
I still do have this car yes. 6 years old and only on 55000km mileage. Still has the stock engine and clutches. Enjoy driving every bit of it when I have the chance to do so.
I'm totally out of words man, I'm speechless after what I saw what's done on this 6R, I've been a great fan ever since and in a process of getting one and I just want to know if you can reveal to me almost how much you spend on the total upgrade and modification man, I reside in Namibia and willing to take that huge step after I purchase mine so direct me please 🙏🏾🚘®️
Nice car! :) Could you give us the wheel and tyre specs? Those wheels look great. Any 0-124mph times? Do you have a Haldex controller (might have missed it in the video) and if so, how does it change the car?
+Erkki Pihalerssi Wheels are 19x8, ET45 with Yokohama 225/35R19 tyresI do have a Haldex programmable controller, which is changes the car if you are going through the bends or should you track the car. As a daily or in a straight line, you won't notice much.Check out my other videos. There is a 0-200km/h video somewhere there.
in my opinion, you have created an absolutely beautiful golf r that can also perform pretty damn nice. I gotta ask you: why did u choose the Variant 2 coilovers over the KW Clubsport or plug&play coilovers? As i said, awesome work! Keep it up =)
Thanks man!! My car is not DDC compatible. The Race/Sport/Stock that you see is for the Haldex Controller. I was also worried the KW Clubsports may ride a bit harsh with the camber plates.
Nice vid; am doing a similar project but on a TSI. Do you have the part numbers for the OEM Passat/Audi alloy spindle (wheel bearing housing) seen at 6:42 on this video? Thanks.
i hate that we never got the dsg in the us till mk7 r, m i have a 2012 r and its fast for a swizel stick but man if i had the dsg.... it would be a beast.
respect , this car is insane :D !! did APR do all service intervals to your car since your warranty was void? and how much did they charge if you dont mind sharing
+Joshua Mohr Only the conversion was done by the APR dealer. My car is still serviced and maintained by VW. And it gets serviced more frequently than the normal service intervals.
Nice car! Are ECS 2-piece semi-floating rotors nosiy? I'd like to get some for my Golf R but am unsure if they make a "clattering" noise given they are a floating type.
+Justin Thomas I have not been to the Bloemfontein drags as of yet. Only been to Tarlton and ODI and some of the illegal drags in Durban. But, I am planning a trip there soon.
Would be cool if you included the total price for the car + the work done to give an idea of how much you really need to invest for something like this.
Awesome car, and good video. Could have done without the 18 minute AWOLNATION track though.
Could have. but this really shows everything with a fine toothpick witch for someone like me. is so beneficial :)
did you sell your house first or become El chapo goddamn nice build cant imagine the cost , vw for life tho
Sickest golf 6R ever, i see much effort in your work. Great job keep it up!! 👌🏻
Awesome build Tony. Thanks for sharing.
Absolutely beautiful car man!
One of the best Golf R's in SA - no doubt. Top video Tony.

VWSA forum member representing in the house! Have seen this puppy run at Tarlton, what a beast. Well done!

Did it ever blow up or is it still running on stock internals?
Still running on stock internals. Have gone from KW V2 to V3s... Fitted 6 pot Neuspeed calipers up front... Superpro ALK.... And it's gotten it's usual TFSI maintenance woes. Cam chain tensioner replaced, injectors replaced and wallnut blast done on carboned up intake valves.
She sees a few track days and still runs strong.
Sorry but i love what' U done to the car... Im corious what's the digit for whole mods if its not secret.
Currently i have w219 55 kompressor moded And thinking of sell IT And get the golf R... But no idea how much need to spend for whole upgrades. Can U throw some figures? Thanx
The gti / golf r can handle 450 to 500 with a good tune dailyed for 5+ if you want more for 10k price of car included I’d leave the car scene.

amazing
How long did it take you to build this masterpiece?
Nice car! :)
Could you give us the wheel and tyre specs? Those wheels look great.
Any 0-124mph times?
Do you have a Haldex controller (might have missed it in the video) and if so, how does it change the car?

nice!!!!!
Hey bro, can u tell me your boost bar setting in polar fis? Are u using engine or diagnostic?
very nice car mpravo
in my opinion, you have created an absolutely beautiful golf r that can also perform pretty damn nice. I gotta ask you:
why did u choose the Variant 2 coilovers over the KW Clubsport or plug&play coilovers?
As i said, awesome work! Keep it up =)
Thanks man!! My car is not DDC compatible. The Race/Sport/Stock that you see is for the Haldex Controller. I was also worried the KW Clubsports may ride a bit harsh with the camber plates.

Damn that's a car right there man
did you install everyting by your self? and if so how hard was it?
Good!🎉👍
Nice!
Respect, great job! Where did you get the back door spoiler?
Matej Kesi It's from OSIR. You will see it on their web site.
i hate that we never got the dsg in the us till mk7 r, m i have a 2012 r and its fast for a swizel stick but man if i had the dsg.... it would be a beast.
That's one very badASS Golf man!!! Love it!! Where are you from?
+ROORabuser Thanks bud! I'm from South Africa
+Tony Garces Free State i see
Hey, nice car, how is your fuel consumption, is it much bigger than the stock?
nice car bro
respect , this car is insane :D !! did APR do all service intervals to your car since your warranty was void? and how much did they charge if you dont mind sharing
+Joshua Mohr Only the conversion was done by the APR dealer. My car is still serviced and maintained by VW. And it gets serviced more frequently than the normal service intervals.
I want to see a video of your MK6 R vs a Stage 2 IS38 MK7 GTI. Wonder who would win
Only on the motor performance how much did you spend? :)
what i need for change sound? i've golf 6 1.4 tsi 122 cv
Nice car! Are ECS 2-piece semi-floating rotors nosiy? I'd like to get some for my Golf R but am unsure if they make a "clattering" noise given they are a floating type.
They are not noisy at all. They must be fastened right and surface must be cleaned 100% before installation.
Beautiful car, nice work!! Can I ask you what mod did you use to get all the engine data in the oem display ?
+Moo0nsBrother AutoPolar FIS+ Advanced unit. It installs to your gateway and shows live data. Check out www.auto-polar.com
+Tony Garces Thank you!! :)
Nice kar bru
Man, must be nice not live in CA and be able to do all these mods. I'm stuck at APR Stage 1+on my MK6R.
hoollyyy fuck that's a sick build men congrats !!
I liked that youre video was straight to the point with you talking shit looking into the camera. Bravo. badge delete looks cinister.10/10
Where did you buy the seats?? I have a golf GTI MKV and i want to put the R semibaket seat!
Great build mate! Do you ever take it to the Bloemfontein drags?
+Justin Thomas I have not been to the Bloemfontein drags as of yet. Only been to Tarlton and ODI and some of the illegal drags in Durban. But, I am planning a trip there soon.
How do you put boost bar on the dash ?
how much it cost its awesome
Would be cool if you included the total price for the car + the work done to give an idea of how much you really need to invest for something like this.
looks like an easy 100k
How did you put that spoiler on it
Big up
