Updated/swapped old cars are really fun!!!! 😀 Bonnet wants to say hi, whippers do not want to stay low, crazy dead zone in the wheel and of course good old fashion windows lever! 😉
Old cars with a bit too much power are so much more fun then modern cars because it gets a little sketchy under full acceleration, the torque steer, wheel spin love that stuff 😎
Driving a car with 400 horses that weights less then a ton is something completly out ot this world, I own a Mark 2 GTI from 86 stock engine 1.8 liter although it has 90 HP its still quick but this, this is something else !
I’m an old Golf man. 1981 MK1 GTi and a 1987 MK2 GTi 16v. So my eyes lit up when this video arrived in my feed. Having watched it start to finish I can confidently say this build has way too much power and is an utter death trap! For a street car I can say from experience that these cars are much much more fun when swapped for a far more modest ~200bhp with a Quaiffe or similar diff and decent track-day oriented suspension. Even 250bhp is too much.A good track-day build is far more rewarding to drive without all the mental wheelspin and torque steer. Still great to see a pocket rocket like this but nah not for me.
Here in Brazil this car is absolutely rare,VW Brasil never produced this model,here we have VW Gol,but this MK1 is awesome, a true sleeper,insane !!!!!
These old cars are super scary on high speeds. I once did 150 km/h in my Moms 1991 Nissan Micra and it was so scary. It felt like the whole car is going to fly apart :D In my 2001 Nissan Maxima with V6 high speeds feel like it's floating on air :D At least it's somewhat stable and quiet.
If anybody told me that a 1983 Golf MK1 would be faster 100 to 200 km/h than a Porsche 718 Spyder , I would've told them they're crazy... And here we are!
Man you can't imagine how much i dream of owning such a car. I wish i would have the knowledge and the place to get into tuning cars over all. I should have started when i was younger. I mean i am only 29 but to go from zero to this, is a long road. My only chances would be buying one that is already customized, but thats not easy either.
Wow, that was a thrilling ride , 200 hp would have been more than enough for this old heart princess , to keep the fun you must have kept the weight low , Cheers and THANKS FOR THE VIDEO.
The Exhaust And It's Unique Sound Is Very Much Loved In South Africa, A Later Version Of The Golf That Was Sold This Side Had One And They Were Adored For The Sound They Made, Golf "Velocity" And It's Infamous "Banana Branch"
Thinking that bonnets gonna pop eney second. Love the commitment. Had me totally on the edge of my seat. So congratulations max you are officially bonkers 😂😂
The bonnet latch where cable comes through can get stiff, when you closed the bonnet latch only half partly locked and didn’t hook right over the catch. Used to happen on 1990s vws.
The car needs hoodpins, aswell as the newer mirrors mostly seen on the Convertable Golf, which are adjustable from the interior (the knob actually is there I see, the Pirelli GTI aswell as some GL models were mounted on the classic Golf Mk1 too).
Love the sleeper look. This is so clean 😮💨🤤😍 i love old Golfs. Never owned a Golf but its a dream of mine. My mum only kwned a Mk5 Golf Diesel 6 speed in Australia
How both been onbord with Capri and Escort Mk2 with YB Cosworth with 400hp. In the Capri the seats was making cracking sounds due the g forces and in the Escort it was sideways in all gears, sideways in 3rd gear with 3 people in it. The driver was an lunatic. But that is the most fun I had in cars ever. I have also driven a Mk1 Golf Cab GTI. Was a very fun car to drive. It was slightly modded. The one in the video needs new front suspension and steering parts and hood pins for sure. They never is that sloppy on the front end if everyting is good. Great video! Sketchy old cars is the most fun ones.
Imagine taking delivery of your Brabus GLE 63, you're out the dealer and you're being overtaken by a 30 year old mold green shitbox that cannot keep its wipers or bonnett down at more than 200. LEGENDARY
The bonnet… you should have not been too shy to close it properly, just raise at 25-30 cm and drop ;) I used to have such an opening on my Jag, and it was scary.
There is a french UA-camr called "Farine de blé" that has a 400hp MK2 golf GTI, but the stock engine has forged internals and a Chinese turbo , and damn it pulls
The windshield on these is mounted in rubber. Not glued against the frame, as with modern cars. At too high a speed it could get pushed out of the rubber.
Good lord, I once pushed my bone stock '87 VW Fox to 160 KPH - that was sketchy! This is something else. Imagine how fast it would go with longer gear ratios!
respekt...........................................................................................................................! for him who build it.. I understand the love owner has.. respekt for the very good showcase from AutoTopNL
I once had a rental Renault Vel Satis V6. At top speed around 235 the bonnet got ripped off a bit from the underlying frame it was glued to and catching so much force from air pressure that it slammed immediately into the windscreen. Glass splinters got accelerated through the impact with so much force that some of them were sticking in my forearms. Wouldn’t it have made sense to do the 100-200 from fifth or sixth gear? Could imagine that would’ve showed an improved time around 8 seconds.
Hahaaa! 😂 For a second there I thought max had forgotten his trademark phrase, then he hit us with an upgraded (Stage 2) "Autobahn BLAAAAHSST" well played sir 😉 well played 👏👏👍😅 Love the car love the build 🤩
Not Really a surprise that the OBD was made in China, I mean, 90% of all electronic components in the world originate from China. Either way, that's one nice build right there and I'm a big fan of AutoTopNL. Keep up the good work
You gotta drop the bonnet from a decent height rather than pushing down on it cause mk1 bonnet is flimsy sometimes it just bends with where you pushing and theres no real leverage for the latch to ...latch on xd
What's the most dangerous car ever?
Daewoo tico
700hp golf gti clubsport
try the golf mk2 with a swaped v8 that will ba a first
Tesla
Dodge Viper 1200 hp
those windshield wipers are holding on for dear life😂
Driving in rain on the motorway not advisable 😆
The us GTI had a spoiler on the left one ,they didn't do that for Europe?
It helped out quite a bit.
@@MrTheHillfolk yeah
At 130 it's still shaking😅
@@balint8557 no wiper spoiler and they're lifting by 80-90 or so and it doesn't get any better the faster you go.
Desperately in need of a bucket seat, harness seat belts and rollcage. That thing is a death trap. 😂 Fast indeed.
Pfff unnecessary weight :D
And a silencer
More like a interior strip, or going the expensive route will a full carbon fibre body prefabrication.
dude, in Brazil we drive vw gols with 800 hp+ at the streets, family car, search: fueltech gol 800cv, it´s a white one.
i mean, if you crash this, the rollcage will not help, nothing will help
OMG, the bonnet start to open up, he pushes even harder 😂 I'm glad that the latch made it 😆
Jesus, that bonnet buffeting upward at 220km/h would have made me soil myself 😂 But not our balls-of-steel Max 😅
Not his car 😂

Active aero 😂
it's some sort of adaptive aerodynamic i think 😂😂
Active Aero
lmaoooooooooooooooo

You forgot about the mirrors turning inward for more aero 😂
@@Baba-yz3kp Active aero package before it was cool
Love a swap where the engine looks like it was meant to be there. I bet an RS3 5-cylinder would fit too.
yes, it clearly needs more power 😁
Its crazy how modular VWs are.
🤣 if I had that much power I'd need a engine bay stability bar and small rollcage. It's no Swedish car so it needs a rollcage for more weight
No risk no fun 😂 the wipes and bonnet is commitment 💪🏻
The rearview mirror bending back when he pushes on the freeway is something priceless
they are broken (probbaly aftermarket) they dont normally do that.
It means something. Beastmode Activated

I LOVE old Volkswagens. My Mum drove a Mk2 GTI when I was a kid in the 1980s. I've always wanted to get my hands on a Mk1-Mk2 GTI.
These old cars are super scary on high speeds. I once did 150 km/h in my Moms 1991 Nissan Micra and it was so scary. It felt like the whole car is going to fly apart :D In my 2001 Nissan Maxima with V6 high speeds feel like it's floating on air :D At least it's somewhat stable and quiet.
@reality8793 I know but same with the golf. Unless it has completely different chassis it's going to be scary at higher than 150 km/h speeds.
at least it helps you keep your driving license
I have done 160km/h in a super rusty 1975 datsun 100A with a 1.2 swap.
Crazy, but not as crazy as 100km/h on a Suzuki PV50 with 80cc cylinder.
13:59 you can see the hood pop off
no shit
Gahahahah

The windshield whipers are almost giving up😂 I love it, What a crazy build.
My old 83 GTI had a wing on the wipers to hold it down. Unfortunately my Mk1 Cabriolet does not and the wipers would lift at abou 112 mph.
Thinking that bonnets gonna pop eney second. Love the commitment. Had me totally on the edge of my seat. So congratulations max you are officially bonkers 😂😂
its on the secondary safty latch, its a pretty big hook. designed to do the job it did.
The bonnet latch where cable comes through can get stiff, when you closed the bonnet latch only half partly locked and didn’t hook right over the catch. Used to happen on 1990s vws.
With steel balls you could get 260/270 with a longer gear ratio

amazin car i had the 1978 1.8 gti was terrifying to drive but i fricin loved it most fun in a car i ever had
The car needs hoodpins, aswell as the newer mirrors mostly seen on the Convertable Golf, which are adjustable from the interior (the knob actually is there I see, the Pirelli GTI aswell as some GL models were mounted on the classic Golf Mk1 too).
Love these Golf monsters.
I don’t know if I love more this kind of cars or an M3-M4 on steroids…. Definitely this kind of setups 😂😂
150 mph in a shoebox. You, sir , are a better man than I am =)
Love the sleeper look. This is so clean 😮💨🤤😍 i love old Golfs. Never owned a Golf but its a dream of mine. My mum only kwned a Mk5 Golf Diesel 6 speed in Australia
Search for Boba Motoring on UA-cam. These guys have built Germany's most powerful and legal Golf MK1 with 1152 hp!
a VW never upsets me they always give me joy
bei dem Wagen brauchst Du Spoiler für die Wischer, eine Domstrebe für die Spiegel und hood pins ! Sonst fliegt Dir irgendwann etwas um die Ohren 🙂

7:30
*sees OBD* - „is this the display?“
Nah Bro its the OBD😂
Golf GTI is a legend!
Actually the Golf 6 R engine is the EA113. The EA888 is in the Golf 6 GTI non Edition 35. 😉
The bonnet… you should have not been too shy to close it properly, just raise at 25-30 cm and drop ;) I used to have such an opening on my Jag, and it was scary.
This is a scary beast
Please do more of these
7:00 EA113 misfiring, like half of the EA113 in the planet😂😂😂
when your top of the line BMW gets surpased on the autobahn at 220+ km/h by a tiny old ass metal box that goes brrrrrt
Ive never seen so much steering input just to go in a straight line!
You got it damn right with the bonnet loose due to wheel bouncing Max. Ok back to the video...great stuff!
Now can you imagine this car with 1100hp, sequential gearbox and awd?
boba?
@@billx4266 Boba motoring with his golf on the channel would be nice
@@Wayfarer9000 I think on an unprepped street that thing isn´t really drivable with full power. It would move all over the lanes.

Mad car! :) Mk1 steering shouldn't be that vague, that needs looking at.
Longer gear ratio would be nice ❕😅
And better suspension and a cage 👍🏼
they need to add some spoilers to the wipers and get some extra latches for the bonnet.

Crazy numbers for a mk1. I had an 83 gti with a 2L 16v 9a + KR cams and that was already quick enough.

A drivers car where experience, whits, and a bit of luck are needed. No electronic assists to save your ass.
Cool as hell. I had an Opel Corsa a with c20xe so i know the fun factor 😀. Mine did 257 gps top in the 5th gear

I hope he never fixed the "issues", the mirrors folding in and bonnet opening makes the car cooler. What a hilarious thing
