Thank you so much for having us on the channel! I hope the car did us proud and can’t wait to film more in the future, be it with the Golf with more power, or the VXR, or both! 😁
Me as well. Only thing that really irritates me is the haptic buttons.. also the climate control or the volume (one of the two) buttons doesn’t light up at night
It’s not even funny how capable it is with a few bolt ons. With the big hybrid they’re making around 550hp, and have now run out of fuel pump. Absolutely wild for a stock 2.0 😂
@@sprogleymotorsport thank you, it's a legend in its own life time, as is the Golf R. The little motor is amazing esp when you consider the BMW and Mercedes 2.0L (A35) don't take kindly to higher power.
What a nice build, really rate the new Mk8 Clubsports and Rs. I'd like to see more exhaust sound clips, a standing rev, more fly-bys, whenever it gets interesting the video is cut short. Keep it up tho Luke!
@@dacmmon a dry track where this car is most at home, it hooks up perfectly, very manageable power! The day of filming was cold and damp so less than ideal conditions for the car but hey, that’s UK weather for you
Ill admit to being slightly confused as to why people would want that type of power in a front drive car when we all know that most people are more concerned about the traffic light launch than lap times
Traffic light launches is just about the last thing we care about 😁 a damp UK B road in winter isn’t the best way of showcasing the car, but on a warm track with the semi slicks on it would put this power down no problem at all 😊
@@sprogleymotorsport no disrespect was intended but many of your potential customers are interested in traffic light launching and their cars never see a track. My point being we live in the UK roads are poor and it rains and a front drive car with 450hp epic as that is for a 2.0, you see what I saying
@@markrhoden68 completely get you! Well you can just imagine how fast an R would be with this power output 😁 for what it’s worth, if it’s not a cold and wet day like that day was, it’s still super drivable on B roads and is a lot of fun. You just have to know how to use your right foot 😉 there was a little bit of show boating for the video letting it wheel spin it’s nuts off, but in reality is a very easy car to pedal
I have a GTI and where I live it's winter half the year, but dry a lot of the rest of the year. I would never own a 2WD in a country where the roads are wet way more days then they are not. I love EURO style, but using the preformance is so often ruined with your crap weather. It's actually hard to find many car videos where the roads are dry and you can actually show the power. And well, this is another wet street video.
VW should make a Golf GTR. Based off of an R but with the 5 pot from the RS3. Make it light and widebody with upgraded suspension/brakes, etc. Petrolheads need a send off for ICE and the MQB platform from the VW group. These shitbox electric ID cars will never touch the MQB cars for sheer performance potential.
Nice looking/ sounding car. Watching him drive it, constantly making corrections, it does not look fun. I just don’t understand spending all that money instead of getting a Golf R. To each their own.
For exactly the reason you have mentioned. It’s fun and engaging to drive, where with an R you could have 500hp and it would still be dull and boring to drive
@@Mant0r Says someone who has clearly NEVER driven a modified Golf R… 😆 as someone who’s driven both, trust me, oversteer and 4 tires breaking loose is waaay more “fun and engaging” than understeer, torque steer, and FWD burnouts… 😂 But, like I said in my previous post, over a year ago… “to each their own”
Depends? off the line definitely On the move 😬 Wet conditions definitely Dry, I wouldn’t bet against one of these, plus the cs has a better set up out of the box.
His is an R. Most of the Mk8 Development companies have Golf R’s which is part of the reason we went for the CS. Lots of fast R’s already but barely any fast GTI’s and CS’s
This is exactly what the Golf GTI should be. Get rid of the R and go back to making the GTI back as Top Hot Hatch (and change the Interior back to the original Tartan) Can you tell I’m over 40 😀😂😂😂😂
Not GTIs and not in the UK. There’s only 2 UK companies making hybrid turbos for the Gen4. Ours is about to have one of them and Haz has the other fitted to his Golf R.
Thank you so much for having us on the channel! I hope the car did us proud and can’t wait to film more in the future, be it with the Golf with more power, or the VXR, or both! 😁
My pleasure mate! Let’s get some more bits planned 💯🤙🏻
Edd seems like a very knowledgeable, down to earth kind of guy. And he's not trying to prove anything like some of the channel guests in the past
Thank you so much! I really really did my best to give exactly that impression 🙏🏻
Didn't like the gen 8 at first but i'm really loving it now. Seeing the potential and styling possibilities on this car makes me want one baaad.
its looks so bad
Me as well. Only thing that really irritates me is the haptic buttons.. also the climate control or the volume (one of the two) buttons doesn’t light up at night
I wasn't a fan of the new Golf
..until now, thats a very classy build, simplistic if I can say so. 👌 very nice !
And quick AF 😆
Thankyou! Tried to keep it subtle and focused, it gets the job done especially on track
@@sprogleymotorsport love the wheel set up with this car honestly perfect
Wow i usually don't like mk8s but this one looks really good😮
Very nice build! Well done, greetz from belgium.💯
This beast got some power 🔥🔥
Very compliments, quick car and great potential ❤
Seriously, when will the EA888 start to be recognised as the greatest tuning engine in modern era?
It’s not even funny how capable it is with a few bolt ons. With the big hybrid they’re making around 550hp, and have now run out of fuel pump. Absolutely wild for a stock 2.0 😂
For me the top 3 modern engines are ea888 b58 and the rs3 daza engine all incredible power plants.

One thing this video proved to me, the Mk8 has great head room lol ( taking the piss out of the dudes cone head beany)
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

We are currently putting a much more in depth video of our Mk8 together which will include a healthy section of exhaust sounds 😊
He relocated the rear emblem back to where it belongs, heck yeah 🙌!! hate it in the middle smh. something so simple makes a huge difference.
This car is a Clubsport so it’s a sick base to start with, now with these mods it’s just different level.
Tbh I have no idea why someone would go for the GTI CS when they're planning on adding power. It's just a waste at these levels with FWD.
Because some of us choose that.
@@dacmmon a dry track where this car is most at home, it hooks up perfectly, very manageable power! The day of filming was cold and damp so less than ideal conditions for the car but hey, that’s UK weather for you
@@dacmm WRC cars need AWD
other sports series use 2wd
Stick to the traffic light GP, car wow and wearing a thong 👍
@@escos0410Anyone who’s driven a golf gti and an R knows that the GTI is way more fun car to drive
Another decent car and video 😎. Kinda want to see his VXR Astra track car now. 👍🏽
I wonder how much to modify this same setup I was thinking of the mk8 but just paid off my mk7.5 I do like the carbon fiber in the engine bay 😊
I love the performance aspects of the golf r but the GTI in my option has always looked better
great taste in car and upgrades. wish i could say the same about his fashion sense.
This one got some poke! 👌
wowe what a maaterpiece. its just a golf but soo sicckkkk
Mk8 is growing on me but mk7.5 just looks perfect to me

@@HarryG98no not everyone sure but generally if you've spent the money on modifications then I suggest people do care
I didn’t like the mk8 at first but they are definitely growing on me
I like the gti logo being on the side instead of under the vw logo. Looks much better
Good spot 👌🏼 something VW should have just left alone
@@sprogleymotorsport Yeah VW tried to make location similar to ID4. Lots of the MK8 interior styling are coming from VW newer EV line.
awesome drive, may I know what is the brand of the wheel and the specs?
Super clean car! Where is the front splitter from?
Looks like the SM450 kit also comes with a front number plate delete😂
It fell off 🤷🏻♂️😂
Up the Benjamin Parsons mapping ! Legend 🤟

Bring the astra vxr to the channel please 🙏
💪🏼😁
How do you get your bucket seat in? Do we have to buy aftermarket brackets for the seats?
Get the vxr on the channel next
💪🏼💪🏼
Looks sick tho, defo needs a splitter
it literally has one
@@aidencleary62 exactly why I said it, they look dead without it
@@Account1746 ah I see, misunderstood 🤣
Damn, that's mental!
NICE HORSE POWER BRO, AND IS IT FAST THAN R?
Hey how did you guys get the badge to look like that on the front and back
After market black badge cover kits - recently got them for my MK8 Golf GTI (look to be the same as the ones on this car)
I don't get why people wear beanie hats half on!
450 my r got 600 and fuck does it go!

There’s a mk8 in Hereford running 508bhp with Quattro drive train so not the UK fastest but what a weapon
One in Hereford isn’t a club sport though
GTI, not R. However, it’s no longer 450hp either but more to come on that soon 😊
what front lip is this?
Maxton

Want to fit a continental turbo on my pfl cupra 290 and run similar power
Better off fitting a Littco hybrid, would be more cost effective and better performing. The conti is a beast though for a stock turbo
CS owner compared to a R owner
We eat raw meat and are members of the Chuck Norris fan club
R owners
Love island
💪🏼🤠
Isn't TR Hamza's mk8 golf faster?
Depends?
off the line definitely
On the move 😬
Wet conditions definitely
Dry, I wouldn’t bet against one of these, plus the cs has a better set up out of the box.

Yes
What's the name of the music in the beginning?
No front reg…naughty, naughty 😅 jokes aside, stunning machine
👀
Beautiful car but the presenter looked bored??!!!
MK8 front end 🤌🔥
Is this in English?
idk why people are putting the gti or r logos on the side, it doesn't go with the shape of the car at all - 0 aesthetics
That’s how they come from factory
450bhp
Fwd 🙈🤣
Each to their own but not for me.
Perfect power straight out the box these.
Ruined it for me with that power
Can handle it no bother
Ain’t gonna lie but that looks nice n I wosnt a fan of mk8
Don’t suppose you know any 100-200 times for the car
Prob high nines
7.8 100-200. Not much of a straight line guy though so I honestly couldn’t tell you if that’s any good 😂
@@Rasmus230100 below 8.
Stage 1 is 8.8/9.2

You need to move on..................
The normal GTIs still have tartan seats I’m pretty sure. Stock Clubsport seats are a nice alcantara finish which really suits the car
@@sprogleymotorsport yes they do it’s just not as nice. Even the Golf 7.5 GTI and GTD have a similar design to the old school ones -just my opinion
Not the fastest by a long shot lol there is 3 I can think off pushing out over 500bhp
Really?? Mines near this power and I know of only 2
Ed’s is the other
Not GTIs and not in the UK. There’s only 2 UK companies making hybrid turbos for the Gen4. Ours is about to have one of them and Haz has the other fitted to his Golf R.
Please stop saying yep while the guy is listing every mod. Let him talk
😕
Man just bought a few items off ebay and then claim its a package they sell. Wtf
😂😂😂
Still can’t get over the interior 🤢
Bru: Why do you claim that MK8 is the fastest ,when you know it's not true?
At the time of filming, we weren’t aware of a faster Mk8 GTI in the UK. It’s all a bit of fun anyway, in the name of a good UA-cam title.
@@sprogleymotorsport Oxford mate near Banbury 😬😉
@@sprogleymotorsport Cool Man;
Needs a decat way to quite
Video doesn’t do it justice, it’s pretty damn loud. Any louder and it would be horrible on long journeys, not to mention noise limits on track
wheels are nice thats a bout it
What a stupid comment
Too much talking. Not enough pops n bangs.
Sounds great, looks the part, but doesnt seem that fast for 450bhp🫥
