Dom: You owe me a 10 second car
Bryan (from rural UK): I got you a sweet seat diesel hatchback mate
1.9 tdi no shit
Hahahaha 👌👍👍
TDI total destruction imminent lol@@lucasf4rt523
HAHAHAHA
Yeah just Pop the "Bonnet" 😂
So glad to see you guys covering these kind of cars. We appreciate it from all of us who actually have these cars in our country
Hey as an american may i say thank yall for building some cool shit!
@@SphinxFin makes me really consider a nissan 4pot diesel for my prelude.... But thats just blasphemy, right?
that would be friken sweet @@chadbeaver9199
As an American who drives a big ass V8 charger, this looks like it’s way more fun
This is hot rod
These 1.9 TDIs take no prisoners, that engine is an absolute savage
they are almos tunkillable
I had Opel Vectra 1,9 tdi. I bought it with 200 000 km, and drow it another 100 000 with no Service, oil change, no maitaince at All. Sold it 13 years ago to a car entusiast who has it till this day.
very much doubt you did no oil change in 60k miles@@dariokovacic3208
I'm still amazed people want to do that to...was the first car a Seat Ibiza??
Nooo that I thought too. That was an INCA. Or at lest the rear end was. @@joseanl
Mate... Have you not realised the rest of the world considers these cars as normal and it's your US cars that are really weird to everyone!
Nah, European cars are definitely just weird
Classic yank behaviour.
USA “we got the World Series buddy”
Rest of the world “ no one cares and your the only people that play it.” Hardly World Series
euro cars are 100% weird tho@@harrychalmers1
@@harrychalmers1 I mean, consumer automobiles are a part of American DNA in a deep way that no other country can claim. Not mention, the US were the original innovators with them and the rest of the world followed.
Also, baseball is plenty popular in other countries now (like Japan) and it's still the "World Series" and it's still held above any other baseball league in the world.
Every single American sport with some title like that is LITERALLY the highest league of professional competition for that respective sport in the world. Sounds like you're just salty that the English collectively suck at most sports period, including the ones they invented lmao
Classic American delusion 😂😂😂. God bless the yanks. They need all the help they can get
guys, you gotta give us some fore-warning of when you're coming over to the UK. There'd be a lot more people in the stands if we knew 1320 were gonna be there.
Strongly Agree ✅
1,000% agree
You guys have sick cars, and great track, on the balkans we use old airports with almost no prep. I am really curious to see one of our 7 second cars go on prepped track like that.
Shouldn’t need someone from the USA to show up for good attendance, support your local tracks
@@codestah454 yeah strange take want to go just because its being filmed by these guys, but not when its being ran normally >>
That PUNTO build is berserk , he’s getting 410bhp out of 88 cubic inches for the Americans.
Proper work lad !
The 5gt turbo too that was over 500. They have always punched above there weight if you can keep them together 😂
My favorite is Sunbeam Stiletto with 632 engine with twin 88mm turbos does mid 7's in the quarter mile that's crazy!!
@@brandonlimbirdthat renault is over bore. With +1500cc engine.
@@PinaGt001 I love the sound of a big block V8 with twin 88 mm turbos...
@JD-eo7dr soo true trying to keep these little 1.4s alive was the true test 😂
My inner German is screaming „OPEL! It’s an OPEL!“
yes vectra or omega that would be insane
?
That Renault 5 is bonkers. The power to weight they have managed from such a tiny engine and chassis!
They could make it weigh even less if they really wanted, could easily get to around 500kg
Thank you again to kyle for coming over and having a chat with me and to have our interview and 3 of my runs included is a true honour (i'm the chunky guy in the volkswagen up 5 cylinder turbo) 🙌🏻
I saw you at about 7.30 or 8 min in the vid - did u ever get that 10?
@funkychicken1212 yeah at our next outing we managed to run a 10.99 at 130mph which a strong headwind 🙌🏻😂 thanks for asking 👍
That 5 cyl engine,, I'm only assuming it's AUDI? I had a 91 fwd AUDI 200 that had a damn FAST 5 cyl, FI, single turbo that had gobs of power. It was all luxury so didn't do any racing but one day I found myself on a new stretch of freeway, no one else in sight so decided to see if it would run the 150 mph number on the speedometer, IT DID! and was still pulling when I lifted. We don't see very many 5 cylinders on the drag strip here in the US but I've always wondered how that engine COULD DO if it were built with all the 'good stuff', proper electronics, turbos, drive axles and drive train. It was fun t o see you run an 11:00 @ 130+ 'tailord5467' 🙂
Hard to beat the noise of the 5 cylinder turbo . I have a fiat coupe 20v turbo also a 5 cylinder
@James_Maguire thank you bud, they do make a great noise 🙌🏻
I'm biased as I'm from the UK and run at Pod, but your content from here is just amazing. Really highlights the UK/European scene, cars and drivers. The lightweight front wheel drive classes are huge in Europe, coal and gas!
There is a lot of strange cars in UK that I don't get in America 🇺🇸
@@brandonlimbirdthey're not strange, just different.
I dare you to Google Vauxhall Calibra Turbo 4x4, I had one for years, they had Cosworth heads. I modified mine heavily, it also had a factory fitted Irmscher bodykit, in a green/purple flip factory paint job!
The US was the only country in the world not to get the Calibra it was sold in South America as the Chevrolet Calibra!
Considering it was a coupe version of the Vauxhall Cavalier, which was the same as any GM Cavalier in the US but with slightly different panels, it's quite odd the US was denied it!
@@whynotagain3639 The US had a Cavalier coupe, Beretta and Camaro.
Also, the Euro Cavalier (Mk.3) and Calibra were based on the GM2900 platform, whereas the US Cavalier was still based on the J platform. The US market Beretta is pretty much analogous to the Calibra though.
When Opel designed the GM2900, GM in North America retained the J platform for their Cavalier. In North American GM introduced the L and N platforms to fill the same size niche, the N is a stretched J and the L is more derived. GM had a complete clustershag of platforms at the time.
Odds are the US wouldn't have gotten the Calibra, they would have gotten a GM2900 based Beretta instead of an L platform based Beretta.
@@skaldlouiscyphre2453 cheers, for the knowledge. I never noticed as a child but the early 80's Cavalier's both sides of the pond were almost identical apart from the rear and front lights, the side profile was identical tho. Weird it took me decades to realise.
Also the same with the Vauxhall Chevette and Chevrolet Chevette identical side profiles. Lol
@@whynotagain3639 YW, glad it's of interest.
It's nuts how much of a difference fascias can make.
Supposedly the Chevy Chevette is a redesigned T-car that doesn't share body panels with earlier ones, but the Vauxhalls sure look like they share part of the bodyshell.
It always tempts me to sketch up or model different badge engineering experiments, like international F-bodies, Chevy and Opel versions of the Fiero, etc.
They've got so many real life examples of just touching up the nose and rear fascia to rebrand the car that it's pretty easy to just follow the established formula.
That Renault 5 was doing the dragster spin the wheels so fast that they expand and get bigger. Insane
Brilliant video. Welcome to England where some bloke in a shed built a 1.4 Renault that runs 9s.
"But it's still me road car." I can't help but love that.
My favorite was the yellow escort. It's wild to see so many tiny engines in casts going as fast as they were. Great video 1320video team.
Waited all video for it and it did not disappoint. For sure the coolest one.
The YB COSWORTH Engine has great tuning potentiale , with the right parts they make 1000+
@Atom71- Absolutely, and they sound really mean too.
@@Atomic-71 People are going over to Duratecs these days, cheaper, lighter more reliable and more power potential, the YB is a good engine but you can't find them cheap anymore.
this escort is even more impresive, if you consider, that this is still road legal car....the other ones didn't...
Love the laugh you give when the white Renault owner says his motor is 90ci .. then the appreciative shock when he says it's running around 500hp.. we dont need 4+ Litres to make that power like your side of the waters 😅
Their side of the water have builds over 2000bhp , which Is understandable given the large displacement cars they have in abundance. We just gotta make do with what we got lol 🤣🤣🤣, I'm thinking of remapping and slapping a turbo in my 2004 civic 1.4l dohc engine (no vtec in my car 😔)
@@IML06 i mean we have 1500HP street legal cars in germany .... so the medium is there ^^
Loving the commentary and also the interaction with the drivers. The good lucks are always appreciated by the drivers as they put so much passion and effort into it all
Being from Portugal I felt right at home! And that Polo representing my country! Nice work guys! Thank you for showing different things! 😍😍
3:15 these guys are Portuguese too
@@danisantos3255 it had to be the 1.9 TDI ahah nice ones
I am from Spain and i can confirm. You guys across the border are insane :D. Much respect to my Portuguese brothers!
there was a 1.9 polo doing laps around GTRs a few years ago.
We also had the fastest GTR in europe for a while.
Portugal caralho!!!!!
The 53’ Ford had to be my favorite, it was so clean, looked pretty much original, and sounded great too!
The Zephyr is very pretty.
Not to mention smoking the Lambo 🤣 that was hilarious.
The yellow mkl escort is stunning. As I get older, I appreciate more and more how gorgeous these things were. Unfortunately I’ve never owned a mkl or mkll, but have had 3 mklll’s. A mklV and mkVl, a mkl 2 and three focus. For me the mkl is the original and best😍😍😍😍👌🏻
why did you buy so many cars?
@@sinenomine4540 I have had 11 bmw e36s, dont ask

While the US & Europe may be separated by an ocean, one thing brings us together. The love of cool cars and going fast. Great coverage.
Thx m8 greatful to hear it. It’s so true 🤙🏽
we have a lot in common actually, not only cars
You are litterally an european so what the fuck you talking about???? You Just live Actress the See and Mist of you are pretty ignorant thats all, its Like you are the brexiteers.
I grew up on these cars. So good to see 1320 enjoying themselves on our tiny island.
The Yellow Escort is nice! But the White Renault 5 Turbo is just sick!
Damn that Renault 5 is impressive..
That Yellow Ford Escort was next level for sure. Super sweet looking and almost scary fast. I seen him hang the front wheel on street slicks
A 90CUI engine running methanol is one of the coolest things I've seen in ages lmao
8v OHV pushrod engine, came stock with a turbo and a carb in the 80’s 😁. Fun little cars at 25 psi!
And running a 9.7 too!
@@Coldfin9er yep, I remember these from when I was 18 (legal driving license age here in Italy), they were called "coffin on wheels" due to how many young lads were losing their lives with these kind of cars back then due to inexperience + night in a club + some alcohol.
They were: this Renault 5 GT Turbo, the Fiat Uno Turbo, the Ford Fiesta Turbo on the turbocharged side, and on the aspirated ones there were the Peugeot 205 1.9l, the Ford Fiesta Xr2, the Renault Clio 16V (or the Williams that was a 2 liters)
Going up in class there were the Lancia Delta Integrale, the VW Golf or Corrado G60, the Escort RS turbo and few others :)
@@AlessandroGenTLe Other coffins were the Citroen AX GT and GTi and the Polo G40
@@rafaelpires4576 ah, yes 👍 But those were pretty rare around here. I think I've seen just one AX on that trim in my life and the Polo on "trend" back then here was that ugly kind of mini station wagon that wasn't so powerful even in its GT form. Oh, a friend of mine also had the Daihatsu Charade 1000 3 cylinder turbocharged... That was scary... With a few touches to the turbo pressure that 700kg thing (or maybe even less) had around 130HP...
Thank you for posting all the great videos on your UA-cam channel. I'm 71 year's old I've only ridden in one right side drive vehicle in my life. A local retired mail delivery lady still owns and still drives her right side drive jeep . As teenagers my nephew and his buddy's built 10 second Honda civic street cars. Like all of us when we were bullet proof teenagers there were some lucky to be alive moments.
That Renault is a crazy beast!
Born and raised in the UK and ran at Santa Pod a number of times before I moved to Canada in 2013. The car scene was a huge part of my life from about 1995 until I left. What stood out for me was just how much has changed and the interesting directions that folks have gone in in the past decade. Thanks for visiting and uploading a slice of “home”!
out of interest how do you find Canada? The whole car culture etc and just life? Genuinely curious.
@@bradleybatt1401 Canada itself is great but it’s very much like most other developed western countries: it has a large middle class made up of folks who work, rent or own their own houses, who go on holidays and who generally earn enough to get by. Then it also has a poorer population who rely on the state to help them survive and a small but growing elite who own multiple large homes throughout the country and beyond.
In general I’d say that Canadians are more outdoorsy than us Brits and taking part in sport is more typical per-capita than back in the UK. There is no chav culture here or even really any equivalent; youngsters are inherently more likely to follow a path of socializing, sports and activities rather than “hanging around” like I and most of my friends back in the 90s used to.
Economically, Canada feels much the same as the UK: mixed. Some things are far more expensive in Canada than in the UK. For example, mobile phone bills, Internet costs, TV and cable, subscriptions, and particularly, the weekly shopping (which is almost double what it cost in the UK). On the other hand, some things are much cheaper in Canada that they are in the UK, such as restaurant prices, petrol prices, clothing prices, and particularly energy prices. So all in all it probably balances out.
I have definitely noticed, though that it is easier to earn more money for the same job or at least have greater spending power on a given salary in Canada than it is in the UK. For example, my wife’s parents were both high school teachers (both now retired), but were able to afford a small holiday home in a nice part of the country and to be able to holiday abroad each year. My friends in the UK, who are teachers are not in that same position. My wife works in healthcare, and in the UK with, and perhaps only 1/3 of the salary that her job is able to earn in Canada. I am sure there are opposite equivalents of this, but I do not know of them.
In terms of a car culture, though, the UK, trounces Canada easily in my opinion. There are far more classic beautifully restored American muscle cars from the 50s, 60s and 70s here than there are equivalent European cars in the UK. But this is probably just a sign that Canada was dragged along by the United States post WWII as both countries found themselves riding a wave of industrial investment from all the factories that were built to serve the war, had no damage to repair from invasions that never happened and had a huge motivated workforce ready to get moving. Their people were able to earn good money, buy homes at low prices, invest wisely and have disposable income to spend on toys like project cars etc.
However, I would suspect the percentage of the population who own a car is broadly similar to the UK. I would guess that the percentage of people who own multiple cars (one of which is some kind of a project car) is possibly greater here than in the UK. I’m just basing that on anecdotal evidence - I know of more people here who have some kind of old motorbike or their dad’s old Chevy or whatever that they plan to restore one day. Maybe the fact that our properties in Canada are so much bigger than in the UK gives the ability to store and work on these kinds of projects whereas back in the UK we have small houses and a lack of space for this stuff.
But Canada lacks the motorsport heritage that the UK has. Racing circuits that host the kind of track days that I used to find myself at every couple of weeks throughout the summer, year after year in the UK just don’t exist here in Canada. In Vancouver - which is one of the largest and most affluent cities in the west of the country - there are no full-time race circuits that are used week after week for organized, ratified, motorsport events. There are no professional series of racing leagues, as there are in the UK. There isn’t even a professional karting series, whereas the UK has a number of them, which are often the gateway into professional motor sport for many drivers.
Overall, organized Motorsport in Canada is almost nonexistent, apart from a few very small, very niche events. Whereas in the UK, motorsport plays a significant part of life for many of us. At least it did for me, my family and all my friends.
Two of my other hobbies/passions are comedy and music and if I rate the UK 10/10 for these (which I do!) then Canada gets a solid 2/10. You only have to look at the number of amazing Canadian comedians who made the very easy decision to professionally base themselves in the UK to see this.
Sorry for the ramble!

@@ProTuneHDhe's talking about the price of buying these smaller cars here in europe. They are relatively cheap and make for great tuning platforms!
They also won't cost an arm & a leg to build them like this.
Dont get me wrong , it's still alot of money to come to that stage, but not as expensive as lets say , a viper , gtr , huracan , supra , skyline etc...

The best 1320 video I've ever seen. Awesome cars. I would love to See the street racing scene over there
That Escort with the Cozza transplant was fantastic
I find it funny, because americans are really not used to small cars, and when they see our models from europe the first thing they point out is how small it is 😂
But its actually heartwarming when they like a certain model/make from europe, cheers from Portugal !
Can appreciate the vans, one running a 9.7 and the camper running a 10 second trip is insane.
12:12 that front wheel was on a MISSION!!
I don't think I've ever seen a FWD burnout. These guys are NUTS.

1.9 TDI man.. can’t beat it.
@@anusername8350 are these a strong engine from the factory? How much power can one of these make with stock internals?
Ah.. 1.9TDi... Also known as the European 2JZ. Not a fan of the diesel engines myself, but when an engine that's the size of a milk bottle can put out 600HP, it's certainly mind blowing.
1.9tdi has never been 2jz of europe. Bmw M57/N57 more likely if we talk diesel or b58 for petrol...
yeah if we are talking actual race cars b58 is the 2jz, with any diesel engine you get black clouds and since tuning is illegal in europe nobody wants this type of atention
1.9 tdi not the size of a bottle... in fact is unnecessarily big
My easy maped 1.9 tdi have around 160hp and around 470nm. The torque is impressive.
1.9TDI Euro 2JZ ahahhahahahhaha
OM606 is EU 2JZ
That yellow Ford in the end made my heart melt. Gorgeous!!!!
I was there!!! I been going Santa Pod almost 30 years, the FWD scene has taken off past few years back in day is mainly muscle cars and Hot Rods.
Some of the cars sold in Europe was not sold in USA the Hot Hatch movement is huge in Europe they have Rally Background some of them.
UK you do see mix bag of cars from Tran Ams, Cuda's ,Chargers, Supra's to Renault 5 Turbo's ,Corsa VXRs , Cosworth powered Fords etc.

But the grey polo guy was wrong when he said that polos comes with 5 speed and pd100. Because all polos from 2002 (late) till 2008 they all had the option of 1.9tdi either 5 or 6 speed gearbox depending on what you ordered when it was new. Pd100 5 speed

I was recently at Santa Pod for the 'Dragstalgia' event. Drag cars from the 1950's onwards. Beautiful cars, ridiculous 1/4 mile times, a noise level that was beyond belief and me suffering hearing loss for 2 days!! I've already booked my tickets for next year!! I love the fact they have the "Run What You Brung" on each weekend so you can race your own car if you want to!!
Been in the UK for 2 years and never went. Time to take a trip this weekend.
Santa Pod is the place to be, it's super chill, and atmosphere is amazing
@@wojciechbieniek4029 I’ll plan on the attending one of the open track days 😎
@theblueninjazx10r might as well goto the Euro finals and do the whole weekend. You will not regret it. Santa pod is a world class event for sure😎👍
Euro finals, Sept, see you there 😎
Come to the euro finals, biggest meet of the year, might even be a sneaky start line pass available
Maluch na 1320Videos!!!
Teraz widziales juz w zyciu wszystko!!!
Cnie? Miałem takie WTFFF
I loved this video. Thanks for sharing it with us 👌🏻
Weird cars ? you mean things that aren’t cookie cutter muscle cars 😂
I loved “Lady” by Modjo playing while we experienced the beauty of that yellow Cosworth Escort. Great seeing some fwd representation on the channel too!
Kyle you always go the extra mile for car culture and its great to see the u.k getting some love ❤
That Zephyr was stunning and also loved that street legal 73 Escort.
16:53 "This is an English Ford......yeah its English". 🤣🤣🤣
That up sounds gooooood! So cool to see you guys get out of the states! Seeing people that watch from over seas react to seeing you guys must be awesome!
Thank you bud ❤
@tailord5467 ofcourse man! Wish we got those and the polo's in the states, Along with many many other things haha
thing is super sweet! Keep doing what you love!
@anthonyliso6791 thank you dude, its a shame but I understand the size of the US is just mental compared to Europe we can cover the distance of 4 countries and you can travel the same amount of miles and still be in the same state 🤣
Hey, Kyle and all the crew at 1320. Thank you for bringing us all these fabulous videos. Also, thank you for bringing us Cleetus LOL without you, he couldn't have done it.
Im Namibian and our dealerships are mainly Toyota, VW, Ford, Nissan and then the rest- and these cars were all available here- as are the new models.
These care in this vid are legendary cars, man. Rally champs in different eras! (and locally- spin/drift staples)
Dom: You owe me a 10 second car
Bryan: Sorry all I got is a 9 second Renault 5
The 2nd pass in Renault 5 was 🔥 the shifts were on point 😎
you really, really should do swedens street week next year!!!!
sure he was not long over there
+1, the start at Mantorp Park was amazing!
They were over there but it was some 5 years ago by now. Lots of new things on the roads now. And yes, they still "illegally" block off the highway and slow down the cops while the guys do their runs then everyone disperse and meet at the next preplanned place.
@@rnts08 north europe has a much better car scene than the UK has
Volvo's are banned for being too cool
That 5 cylinder motor sounded so rowdy!
The vr5 soundns great. Its not the best engine for tuning. Because the vr6 is almost the same cost and makes more power. For small cars like this the vr5 is great idea.
Thank you 😊
That renault went away and was like thats a 9.
9.80 😮 respect!
9.70ftw!! 😂😂😂 Ridiculously fast😊 ❤
This was awesome! Those guys are making some jam with those little motors.
Seeing some different odd fwd and rwd cars is pretty cool. Thanks for posting Kyle!
The best drag racing in Europe is Greece, Sweden, Malta and Romania.
Best half mile in Europe is Germany.
We send some Big Love from Europe to them US-A' muricans..
Nobody is better than Sweden in building cars drag included
@@doddsalfa agreed, thats why they come to US to get podium
@@doddsalfa Sweden are very strong, they have excellent work mainly with Volvos, 5 cylinder Audi and v8's, but I've seen things in Malta (which I had initially forgotten when I posted this comment), Greece or Romania that are at the same level or even better.
Greece until recently had the fastest Evo in the world and competed with the US. not to mention other very, very strong cars they have. so on the street, just look at the cars that are for sale in their market. everything modifies automobiles.
@@tiagoabreu4107 there is no chance Greek or Romania is better than the greatest car builders in the world sorry
That Cosworth Escort was spectacular. AND the perfect year. I would proudly blow the doors off shit here in Dallas with that.
Thanks for covering this. I love the English scene. They are so quirky. I used to drive a Daddy 1.9L TDI. Was heavily inspired by the vehicles from there.
Really nice job for the 5 GT Turbo with its little 1.4 liters engine and 2 runs under 10! And thumb up for the beautiful (and hyper clean!) yellow Escort
