Thanks ShopDAP for the support! It was great to see you and your Alltrack on track! Next year ours will be running as well. Thanks again for supporting Brian along with us. It's always awesome to have time to come and connect with the community that got us to this point. For those tuning in we DID make it on the podium and finished 2nd Overall in the Street FWD championship. Thank you, everyone, for the support and see you out there on the track!
Met Brian 2 years ago, was also my first time at eurokracy, i made a call to get a few mk7 together and he answered. Been keeping contact with him since then and he's just an amazing guy and great friend! Keep the good work youll get in that TCR.
@@lenwoodcruze3594 Yoou should see our alltrack! ITs super fun. You can do quite a bit with this platform without ruining the usability of the vehicle and its comforts-Brian
@@EasthoodRacing I haven't made up my mind on what I'm going to do to it other than H & R lowering springs, lightweight rims and the basic mods to make the turbo louder.
Hey there! Mine was a daily and still is! (though i guess now its a semi-daily) We plan on doing another video drop on how we built the car up to keep it reliable and still fun! *internet high five* -Brian
That’s awesome, won’t lie...Racecar driver someday, maybe a little late for me almost 40 but awesome to see what you’ve done with that mk7, I have a dedicated 2015 GTI for just Autocross but it’s just my toy
Thats awesome man. Mine was just a commuter and after 2-3 AUto-X I hit the track and never looked back. Never to late! come out here and have fun! -Brian
How do you like MSS? I have a set. Wondering how it’s on the track? Stock shocks alright? DCC Shocks? How many miles are on your shocks? I fear bec dcc shocks are very expensive
I think the MSS system is quite capable for DD and trackduty. Stock shocks and mine does not have DCC. If you do have DCC its a fantastic addition. The car is at 52k on oem dampners. We will be updating the suspension this year. To what whoooooo knows! -Brian
What benefit do you get from taking the mat off that is underneath the hood of the car? I was thinking about taking mine off but I was worried that maybe the heat would make the paint on top peel fast or something like that
@@smitherzz001 There ya go. Having a non-stock intake and removing that weatherstrip right at the back of the cowling makes a big difference in sound levels.
@@EasthoodRacing true. I've noticed that for whatever reason the TSI seems to sound a lot different depending on exhaust setup. some sound buzzy like a d series with a fart can, but then others sound deeper similar to the FSI. It's weird because on the FSI all the exhaust setups i've heard sound almost identical just different amounts of noise level.
I have 2010 vw cc 2.0t and trunk light not working. Tried to put new led bulb now inside car lights quit working .can you give me any suggestions. Thank you.do you have diagram of fuses.
Its not even a fair comparison. What companies like TPC are doing are game changers. This unit spools fasters and delivers faster than your standard Is38. Reliability is not a concern either with the TPC unit. You can see some of our new videos for some laps! -Brian
What an inspiring story. Thankyou for sharing shopdap. I want to race as well, I own an mk7 TSI Wolfsburg. I love it! And I’ve done a couple small thing a to it but I want to sell it and work my way up to a Golf R. @vw.gerald
@miro So the wing on car will function on any car. Drivetrain doesn't matter. Essentially the wing is helping the rear of the car stay planted and cut through the air. I also have a front splitter that also increases downforce of the car. my car will oversteer if pushedto the limits. In actuality the wing makes the biggest difference under braking. The reward pressure allows the car to stay stable under braking with release into the corner. Check out TCR or WTCR cars! Aero is Aero!
Seems like a genuinely nice guy. I love our GTI community.
Happy to be apart of it -Brian
Brian enthusiasm is so infectious, he can make the dead laugh.
Great guy
This man is the definition of an enthusiast, the vw community needs more people like yourself.
Thanks Nathan. Thats a really kind thing to say! Hope to see you on track -Brian
This guy! Don’t know him, but definitely deserves all of this!
Thanks for the support! We love having him as a part of our team!
This is one cool dude, would love to meet you man, I'm part of the Mk7 Mafia as well, 2015 Gti SE 6mt.
Thats awesome! Where you located? -Brian
@@EasthoodRacing Chicago,IL...not the burbs I am from the city!!!

Thanks bud! Appreciate the kind words _Brian
Just yet another Brian Smith here checking in for an upvote, BSers UNITE, we can take over the WOOOOOORRRRLLLLD!
YOOOOOOOO SQUAD UP IN THIS B! *internet dap and pound*
The world needs more guys like this!
Now my GTI MK7.5 was by ABT and now, he has 300PS/420NM 😉
I love it every day to drive 😎😇
Its so coool how nonchalantly he bought this car and then slowly turned this into the most hardcore GTI in like a 200 mile radius.
This guy literally loves his car. It’s amazing. 💜
Such an awesome dude! Love the vibes. Keep doing your thing man!
Wish you success in making your goal, Brian!
Thanks Jack! Always moving forward! -Brian
Wish you the best! Good things happen to good people. 🤙
His enthusiasm is definitely infectious!....I'm not trying to go this crazy with it tho.
I got a Golf Sportwagen.

I wanna be friends with this dude. I wanna upgrade my new gti. I've had it about 3 months but it's my daily so I worry about going nuts with it.

@@EasthoodRacing right on I'll check you out.
What a nice dude, subbed, Mk6 represent!
:D
Awesome! Good luck to you, Brother.
He looked GOOD with that wing on.
Also hes basically got a tcr car already
This dudes energy is REFRESHING, wish more people would follow suit
I had the same experience. test drove a SE2017 GTI and just had to have it. Bought it a week later.
Seems like an amazing guy. Great determination.

Never to late to try my friend , your not that old .
Really cool dude, would like to see him in a TCR car. The Michelin Pilot Challenge for IMSA is the place to be. TCR racing with GT4 cars, etc.
I love this guy. Great gearhead
Hey man nice ride i just picked up a 19 gti and im from syracuse aswell

Love the energy! Legend
Coolest guy ever! VDUB family for life!!

Smooth dude... Real cool. Loved the video. Welcome to the vdubb world hahahs
Thanks my G-Brian
Nice car! I'm building my mk5 soon!
Cool guy and a nice ride. I'm curious though on the power increase to 380hp. How much torque steer to you get with that kind of increase?
This is awesome!!
Love this. Thanks for sharing.
Like him. He's on my dream team with that handsome guy from Doughnut.
Absolutely cool guy.
This guy is awesome!! I need to find his YT
Well.....hello!
What a great guy.. Wish you all the best..
Now that’s a cool guy
ive actually talked to this dude on instagram, hes bigger more famous than i thought!!
He's our CSCS buddy. Cool dude is right.
MY DUDES! Anyone who reads this comment go click their page. that Miata is INSANE

Lee Smith then you can put decals there.
@leesmith so I took off the hood mostly for sound! You can hear everything much better. You can also add stickers! Heats not an issue!
-Brian
Easthood Racing oh hell yea I’ll do it to I’d like to have more sound from the turbo !
@@smitherzz001 There ya go. Having a non-stock intake and removing that weatherstrip right at the back of the cowling makes a big difference in sound levels.
Easthood Racing The weather strip by the windshield ?
This guy has great track vids. Sub his channel and enjoy.
Thanks so much for the support!
Sehr sympathisch! Du bist klasse! Dein Golf ist toll!
Danke :-)

Vielen Dank für deine Unterstützung! Wir hoffen, bald Ihr Land zu besuchen! Habe Spaß!
@@EasthoodRacing
Herzlich willkommen! In Deutschland kann man noch auf Autobahn ohne Limit fahren!
Love the enthusiasm.... Why not a Is38 turbo?
smaller is20 housing for better spool. tpc is20 makes good power and isnt laggy.
What Diggs said and we wanted something that we could truly beat on and the TPC delivered handily
Good for this dude. Car culture needs less pompous assholes. Seems like a good dude.
Damn, I miss my MK7
Sick car, and I love GTIs, but tbh it is incredible how much worse the TSI sounds compared to the 2.0T FSI lol.
Ah that can be fixed with some clever pipe bending!

Say word my Dude!
werrrrrd- Brian
Eurokracy 2019 saw u there✌️
Hellllllll yeahhhhhhh
Where did you get the rear wing?
Dropping some lbs weight wise could help too bro (not to be taken as disrespect).
He'd be a good host
We think so too!
Its frozone!
very nice wheels
Hybrid is20 pull harder than a normal is38?
Its not even a fair comparison. What companies like TPC are doing are game changers. This unit spools fasters and delivers faster than your standard Is38. Reliability is not a concern either with the TPC unit. You can see some of our new videos for some laps! -Brian
Interesting I would think the is38 would be a much better choice
So like, i want one but in auto... can i still be cool with auto?
What an inspiring story. Thankyou for sharing shopdap. I want to race as well, I own an mk7 TSI Wolfsburg. I love it! And I’ve done a couple small thing a to it but I want to sell it and work my way up to a Golf R. @vw.gerald

Dedication
Anyone know what kind of intake he has on his car?
hey i'm from syracuse!!!!
Go Orange
GO ORANGE AND GO CNY!
@@EasthoodRacing absolutely
Whats the point of rear wing if the car is front wheel drive?
Miro adds 15 HP.
Are you serious with that question?
@miro So the wing on car will function on any car. Drivetrain doesn't matter. Essentially the wing is helping the rear of the car stay planted and cut through the air.

Not 400 horsepower, 402.
Gotta be specific :D-Brian
I can't stop watching his belly jiggle... You can drive your car on Crack!
Loose the wing its ugly
It's functional, not just for looks. Believe it or not, Even the the stock factory wing is functional.
Hmm we have been debating trying a new wing to see any differences. might you have any suggestions? -Brian
@@EasthoodRacing I'm looking for strictly functional wing ideas on GTI. Any particular new wings have you been considering?
