I embark on my first roadtrip in my MK7 Golf R, to the Nurburgring! However, with minimal creature comforts, the drive was far from lovely...

That splitter is horrendous 😂😂
It needs trimming down, looks like a wardrobe is caught under the front
Looks like a piece of plywood
Yup, it looks illegal - surely it isn’t allowed to protrude that car in front, that’ll break legs!
@@fairwaydigger2768 Reminds me of that episode of Top Gear.....
@@fairwaydigger2768it’s exactly the same stuff that’s used for trailer beds. 😂
That splitter is like a bit of my leftover MFI bookcase.
Great vid man, you missed that giant piece of shite wood sticking out the front when putting the bit of undertray in the bin, should put that in there too 😅
Dud this front splitter is like you clean snow on winter time 😅
Misha is def driving this
That splitter looks like a bad piece of mdf 🤣
Nothing wrong with a wooden splitter for proof of concept, and to be fair it looks very well done. It's a decent size, well sealed to ensure it doesn't stall or bleed of air and raked in the middle to reduce pitch sensitivity. As for mounting, etc. that I can't judge, but I guarantee it is better than 99% of shitty lips on cars which are purely asthetic
BTCC teams have been using marine ply for years buddy
Yeah they have but it still looks ugly as
@@backjarton01Luke’s is probably harder wearing than marine ply to be fair, his is made of trailer bed board, proper heavy stuff though, and of course it looks highly comical! 😂
Yep, and look highly illegal to drive around with it in Germany.
Just so you're aware for the next time you book, the "large vehicle" section on the train isn't any wider than the back end of the train, it's just a single deck instead of double deck. Saves you some money.
It definitely is wider!
It’s wider. It’s single deck because it’s intended for high sided wide vehicles.
@@cfbm125 it appears wider because of the size of the walkways on the sides, but in reality it's not, I used to work there.
Wtf is that splitter🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Came here for the comments, they didn't disappoint
Why front big splitter not painted?
I love the Golf R but that front splitter looks tacky, sorry
Literally, too big and the cars nowhere near low enough for it to work lol
The splitter an wing shit hate it
Didn't know B&Q made front splitters
You need a Rig. Get an old school X5, and a trailer. Take it to tracks for track days
3.0tdi old VW Touraeg would be 👌🏽
People commenting on the splitter not realising marine ply is the go-to for chassis mount splitters on track/race cars. Been used for years. Totally normal but at least normally painted black 👍😂
That front lip is a trip hazard 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Love the car and can’t wait to see it on track. I would recommend putting padding on the bits of cage near your head when not wearing a lid as metal beats bone.
That splitter makes Max Power look tasteful. Get rid, it does bugger all (unless you have air tunnel data to suggest otherwise) and spoils car.
(Apologies for the poor audio in this video)
That car is an awful mess 😂 wot a shame
I took my 7 series into the car train and was worried about damaging my freshly refurbished wheels too.. Ended up going about 2mph through the entire train lmao
*Note to self* make sure air con is fully gassed before going on anouther long ass road trip👌🏼😂😂
Damm.a video about a POM whinging about the temperature 😅😅😅
Why have you got a snowboard underneath your front bumber? Thats gotta be a dare
Thanks for an honest review of track-day-car-life. I still have aircon but the ride and tyre noise are horrendous
Please fix your closed caption -the road noise drowns you out and the cc isn't working well enough to compensate. Then fix your AC before traveling.
Love the car m8
But the splitter spoils it but if you like it fair play just not my taste
that front splitter reminds me of something I knocked up a woodwork class at school!
Looks cool apart from the rear bolt on arches. Don't like that. Also why not just turn on the AC? Please don't say you took the AC out?! Whyy. You got a nice roll cage and seats why take out the AC?
I don't think he got rid of it, sounds like it's leaked the gas out.
Some gaffer tape and cardboard, bodge an air scoop with that window hole. Always take gaffer tape on a track day! Better still, get a trailer, it's not a touring car
Surely you could have made a better front splitter than that piece of plywood, you haven't even rounded the edges, you could have developed it a bit more to give you more front downforce as well.
That splitter needs to go in the 🗑🤣🤣
Im not surprised it was awful, you're doing way too much with that front spitter surfboard lmfao
You're brave doing a long road trip like this running that power on stock internals, knowing my luck it would blow as soon as i got to the ring🤣
Any plans in the future to forge the engine?
You're laugh is up there was some of the most Annoying sounds in the universe 👀👂🏼
*your
Re-install the A/C. I get you want light, but a degree of comfort makes it a much nicer experience!
I don't think he got rid of it, sounds like it's leaked the gas out.
Sound quality was awful, could barely hear a word being said.😢
You need to adjust that buckle further down. How has nobody told you it should not be that high?
Should be as low as you can get it.
28? Thats lovely weather! Its 27 in Brisbane and its the middle of winter :D
You need foam padding on the roll cage near your head dude! Look after your noggin !
Has it been through a wind tunnel to adjust aerodynamics?? That splitter would make it drive horribly if not….
You don't need a wind tunnel lol. Put a splitter on, test it, if it has too much front end reduce splitter size until happy.
@@HondaExige1 that ain’t a splitter it’s a kitchen table lol
Spends thousands making car impractical then complains car is impractical.
Why is there a piece of wood attached to the front of the car?! My god that looks absolutely awful.
Please put it on the grass on your visit to the nurburgring and rip that front thing off
Why you gone all that way with no A/C - total madness……
That splitter looks like you nicked your mums coffee table top
Let Misha drive your car at the Ring!
Whats that chin breaker at the front? Remove please
Have a great time on track
The car is a monster:) love it
Great video
You know this is not road legal in Germany....
whocares
@@lol4224 you’re right! its fun to have your car impounded abroad (especially in Germany) 😂
Might sound boring, fancy a 262bhp 285 ft tq mk3 focus st mate?
Its larger because off that lip
you made a great road car so crap on road it better be amazing around the track
I personally prefer the club sport look as apposed to the all out race car but each to their own
A lot of money spent for sure
I feel you on the no ac... The previous owner of my evo had the ac removed, and I only have the small slots in the windows same as yours. I went and had the aircon reinstalled it was so horrendous sitting in pitlane for sometimes 30 minutes in full race suit absolutely worth every penny to have it back 😂
Oh and to top it off, the seats are a bit too small. So on a long drive my legs would pinch a bit and would get pins and needles in my feet and legs 😂😂
I think you need to sit on a cushion otherwise you are going to get neck ache as well .. lol
Let Misha have a Hoon in your golf r 😂

Do you happen to know if that app will allow us Hyundai N owners to make our car start in N mode? If so, I know plenty of people who would get this aha
Can’t wait to see the hot laps around the Ring. Hope you contacted the lovely Misha and he got a go too 👌👌👍
No AC....because race car 😅
His own lil golfball.... I mean gumball
Race cars literally have AC😂
I'm planning to drive to the ring later this year in my stage 3 Mk5 Golf GTI ❤
Bound to be a awful drive, you've modified it thinking you know better than professional VW trained engineers,designers and test drivers ..... WHAT WERE YOU THINKING OF ?? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂.
… or maybe because it’s a track car not a grand tourer for long journeys
@@V3LOCITY__looks nothing like a tcr golf track car anyway
No....sorry....hes just ruined a nice car.
Good luck with that splitter on the carousel, you might scrape ever so slightly..looking forward to the onboards.
All part of the fun mate! Enjoy your trip.
7:08 “and therefore hot” Touching all the hot stuff😂😂. Sorry but thats just so funny😂😂 i had a honda civic type r ep3 and the gear shifter that i could not remove burnt me all summer😂😂 i know your pain😂😂
Would be epic to see Misha Charoudin take this for a lap
Wise up man.
9:45 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The only thing awful is that splitter.
Reminds me of James may in the Aston Martin when they went to Italy when Jeremy had the lambo and Hammond had the gt3 RS
And we can not hear u the car is lauder than u hahaha
What a car this has become. It was a pleasure to finally meet you and see the car in person. 👍🏼
Love the functional mods👌
how u driving modified car through france?
Coz it’s road legal. Although the French police are asses if he did get pulled over
@@M140i23 u cant drive modified cars in france at all, it wont be road legal
@@Gabasto I don't think it's road legal in Germany either..........
@@Gabasto there is no French law against modified cars, as long as you have declared every modification to your UK insurance which will be shown on your insurance certificate, and the car is road legal ie insured, tax, mot and you drive sensible. It is not illegal. If you drive dangerously in a modified vehicle then you are just asking for trouble.
Quite surprised you havent added some cushioning along the touch points or critical points of the cage....not that they'll have much of an effect in an impact without a helmet but still would make climbing in and out a tair bit easier going reducing risk of bashing.limbs and head directly to metal.....
Love this video Bro! Thanks for sharing. brings me back to my younger years,! 🤣🤣🤣
Should've gone at night 😂
Been looking to buy one for about 2 months now but can't find a decent example that anit full of scratches, paint chips, damaged alloys, paint bubbling on alloys wheels, chipped wind screen etc and their all up for silly money considering the condition of the cars. I thought the vag group cars are expensive due to quality of the workmanship, well I'm not finding it, they all look like shit after about 3 years from the ones I've looked at and I've been looking at the golf r and seat leon cupra's (20 plate cars). Can't find anything that in good condition around the east midlands area, will be out again this weekend looking. There's so much junk around that's not worth buying. These car supermarkets have so much junk on site it's unreal.........................
How much?
@hampshirephoto... great content bro. But I have noticed this aero dynamic error at so many cars especially the angle of your car's front lip it should have pointed down at the end to keep the front pressed downward than being levelled which makes the front bouncy because air is switching between lower and upper of the lip. Most GTIs have rear spoilers below the car's highest...
That front splitter! WTF utter crap
I've been in stripped out modified cars it's not for me I would get sick of it
Sorry but the Splitter looks like a left over piece from your Kitchen Worktop. What on earth were you thinking ?
Seriously… what did you expect?🙄
You dont need aircon if you had full opening windows. Those slits let zero air in.
Casual Zagato at 0:13 😂
What bonnet vents do you have fitted ?
Hey Luke, can you please link me those seat brackets?. Thanks
Forget the exterior ….. that cage is a work of art
I felt your pain watching that!
Bro why u stuck ur cupboard under ur car
It’s so crap😂 why have you wasted so much money luke! Good content still
Front lip black! ASAP💯
Sorry to be so blunt but PLEASE take that stupid dinning room off the front the car would look much better without it it looks stupid i really dont like it
100% need to take that splitter of surely you can afford a nicer one apart from that the car is sweet
Everyone’s commenting about how they dislike the look of the splitter. Like heaven forbid his race car has aero that’s functional and not some stock on with 3M tape plastic POS 🙄
Told you haha
🥵 i was sweating watching that 🥵👍
Because race car
Golf R Cringe Edition
Will someone buy Luke and Iron 😂😉
