Who needs a 200k N/A Porsche just to experience a nice high revving sound when you can get this race spec mk1 GTI and keep smiling through the whole day 😉👍
Im a Honda fan boy and there is nothing like a high reving N/A engine. Have a S2000 and a DC5 which are 15 and 21 years old and they just are just a riot to drive and keep up in the corners with much more powerful cars.
@@MotorAddicts You can just beat up a Honda and it will take it. Did you see Mat on Carwow drain oil and coolant out of a Honda , Peugeot and a Ford with a rock on the accelerator and the Honda took 6.22 minutes to die, Ford died 20 seconds in, Peugeot 47 seconds.
Used to love my mates 205gti rally car on the road. Not much Power and It would crash and bang everywhere but boy on a tight Welsh backroad it was amazing fun!!! Short ratios and Twin Carbs really kept the car in its sweet spot and the occasional judicial pull of the handbrake would soon have the car dancing. Unfortunately any long straight of some distance would very quickly become taxing!! Love the Variety of cars guys, keep up the Good Work!!!
240hp from an 8v is insane, and it seems to pull hard throughout the revs unlike a 16v that only has power up top. i'd definitely be interested to know how reliable that setup is.
Love it gives me the same feeling I get when driving my celica NA i took nick out in not the fastest thing but always makes me smile can't wait for 2023 hopefully I get to finally get my 3sgte version ready to enjoy after patient 7 years ☺️
Never been a fan of Golf' for some reason, they just don't do it for me, always overlooked them when I was younger what with escorts or MK1 Astra's etc grabbing my attention a lot more. Thanks again lads, still good entertainment.
This thing is Beautiful and crazy Hope you all had a good Christmas lads and hope you have good new year can’t wait for the new content to come in the new year 🙏🙏
Amazing car...!! I was wondering....if hé would switch to wider 3 piece wheels and even wider tyre size like the Japanse voomeran Mk1 has hé might improve his traction/torque steer issues?
I have been shopping for wheels, but need to take it to a specialist to get it properly measured for fitment, and those wheels on the jap Voomeran cost about £4000, he’s changed his graphics now, so I can’t get accused of copying him now!😂 although I did ask him first!
Sorry but I switch off as soon as I hear "fully forged"...utterly meaningless term repeated by either those who have no clue or should know better. Fully forged what exactly? Forged pistons? Forged pistons & billet rods, ok. Forged pistons & forged rods, ok, makes sense. What about the crank? Forged or cast? I'd be interested to see what's been done to the head on that to make 240bhp at 8500 too, it doesn't sound stupidly cammy so the head must be amazing. That's what a very healthy K20A2 makes with basic bolt ons & that has an extremely free flowing 4v head. Not saying it's not possible but that's a big number for an 8v NA 2L. I do like a mk1 Golf tho!
Being 8 inches wider, custom made front and rear tubular chassis, custom anti roll bar front and rear, it handles just as good as any other gocart, especially with an added full weld in roll cage, the car is solid! A little too solid!😂
What else would you like me to do???🙄🙄🙄 it’s a race car! I’m not gonna stick air ride on it and go to stance meets!!! And “all I did” was buy it in the first place! Then put my own individual touches to it! A bit more than a few stickers! If it’s not to your taste then move on! Each to there own
It’s been “built” over the 30 years it’s been a race car! It’s not down to just one person, but the previous owner Rob, he built and put the most time and effort into it! So yes, he has my respect, I don’t ever state that I built it!
its actually kinda shit. 240hp is not much, and its fwd, and its got such low gears, "you cant beat anything" as the owner himself says. Spending 15k on a motor to make only 240hp, and even less power to the wheels... Dog shit. My R32 had 240 hp STOCK. You could just drop a 24v vr6 in it, and boom. done. Its a shit can. And I LOVE golfs, especially mk1 golfs. But shit! AWD it, put a vr6 with a DSG in, and BAM! 10x what that car is, and it would sound better too. It's just such a disappointment compared to what it could be. Ill stick with my AWD supercharged Mk5 r32 at 400Hp. AND I SPENT LESS!
I wonder why he chose to use an 8v head on an abf block? Doesn't make much sense to me. That car is mega though. Would love to have a ride out in it!! Just rewatched the video. He literally said why lol. Makes sense now

100%
"Another grit of the boat " . Then that giggle. Cracks me up.. Pure unadulterated fun.. Banging.
Great motor

Good choice in motors

Wow 😲 what a monster, can't beat the old skool look,so much more character than these days. Great video guys... And those wheels look sexy as f
Such a cool car
What a weapon
Lovely car. It's not just a car it's the whole experience.

Cheers buddy you too

lol well said, that setup is sick..
The old 16v vs 8v torque argument will never die!
Right up my street! Sounds glorious! 😍🔥🔥🔥
So good!
Sounds amazing what a car can’t beat the carbs sound respect ✊
Sounds awesome
Love it gives me the same feeling I get when driving my celica NA i took nick out in not the fastest thing but always makes me smile can't wait for 2023 hopefully I get to finally get my 3sgte version ready to enjoy after patient 7 years ☺️
Na stuff is great for noise
Brilliant bit of kit.

Braver man than I Big Fella, I'd have been concerned about being smashed by 90kg of unrestrained meat if anything had gone tits up...
Sounds gorgeous 😳😍
I hate to be that guy….. bro, please use your harnesses 👌🏻
what an animal that car is, sounds amazing
I had a stupid massive jacket on that I should have just took off, but didn’t! I apologise for my no seatbeltism😊
You are forgiven 😂
Beautiful car btw
My mk1 has 45 webber on it too but it's a 1.8 16v block,should be ready for the summer?it's been sorn for over 20 year's
Get on it
@@MotorAddicts just sold my 996 targa😫. If bought some nice parts fo it now,tarox 6 pot calipers 🙂
Have similar build but i need to know the build specs. Love to get my 8 valve carb setup screwming.
Very nice, but unless I missed something, surely it's on twin weber carbs not throttle bodies.
Your right 😂
Ooh I reckon it would give yours a run for its money Owen!!! 👍🙂👍
It would do around a track for sure
We will see in the summer!👍👍👍
😮 WOW SPECIAL 👌💪😎👍
So sick
Awesome machine, sounds mint. Need ya seatbelt on tho👀
Cooking on gas mark 6 this one boys f@ck forced induction that sound!! I'd rather go slower and listen to that symphony!!
Agreed
240 is epic for that weight mine is 180 on 950 kg and thats also loads of fun soon 200 more i dont need perfect balance
That sounds the absolute mutts nutts!! I’m a Ford man but I have a soft spot for a mk1 and 2 golf
Luke this thing was cool
gotta get me one o those
Where is the ABF???

Is it me or does the cambelt look like its scored down the center ?
It’s fine, but I see what you mean!
😍
Yours needs individual throttle bodies
Driver’s too cool for seatbelts/harness🤦
Too fat!!!😂 my jacket was huge so couldn’t get the harness done up 8:52
Should of kept the Reg out of the vid as now he's got 3 possibly 6 points coming.
No SEATBELT, SPEEDING ON PUBLIC ROADS.
NO NO NO.
Drive SAFELY 🤣❤️🤣
And there’s 50mph haha
Idiot!!!! I had at least 55 out of it in 5th! Wasn’t even speeding!😂
240bhp and he's bricking it? My mk5 golf gti is 240 and ain't that fast.
Who’s “bricking it” ? And look up power to weight ratio fella, your mark 5 is probably twice the weight of this
Video title says 8v and as soon as the intro starts he says ABF.
Try harder next time boys
And after he lifts the bonnet it’s not an ABF! 🤣🤣🤣
Still an 8v engine
Dead chassis tho
What do you mean by that?
@@pauldunn8163 MK1 and MK2 have the softest chassis ever, not really known for good handling only thing my mk2 lacked was handling even on good coils
Being 8 inches wider, custom made front and rear tubular chassis, custom anti roll bar front and rear, it handles just as good as any other gocart, especially with an added full weld in roll cage, the car is solid! A little too solid!😂
Lol.... Put in a Plate LSD... Ffs
So all you did was put stickers onit.... an shit ones at that big respect to the builder of this
What else would you like me to do???🙄🙄🙄 it’s a race car! I’m not gonna stick air ride on it and go to stance meets!!! And “all I did” was buy it in the first place! Then put my own individual touches to it! A bit more than a few stickers! If it’s not to your taste then move on! Each to there own

Classic

Just rewatched the video. He literally said why lol. Makes sense now
😂 used to be the 16v main swaps, but this was cool
Something to do with the rules and regulations with the class of racing it use to do
ABF/ABA block is 15mm taller than all the other vw 4cyl blocks this gives it a better rod ratio for high revs.
