It's a fancy area, where there's only nice shops. But don't get fooled and think that mechanics are better in Germany than everywhere else, they have their fair share of hacks too.
I hope Misha will race the 24hr one day! Also, I'm excited to see your using stoptech, I have them in my integra, fairly expensive, but WOW they are brilliant!
This is why I bring a lot of stuff into the shop now. With the right tools and enough practice, a weeks worth of work for me gets reduced down to a few hours. You just need to find some guys you can trust. Great work.
Thank you Micha for your expertise and analysis, no-nonsense technical explanations and simple staight to the point wordings ! Love your Channel (And Robert's too....) Take care of yourself !
Powerflex bushing sure does make a difference to subframes. I did yellows on my E92 a few years ago. The good thing is obviously more control, no more rear 'torque steer' and they're easier to fit, the down side is i get resonance noise at certain RPM's. For this reason and because it's a road car i'm going to fit stock M3 bushes this year which are solid rubber without the voids of non ///M cars. The lesson i've learnt is poly bushing is great for track cars where NVH doesn't matter but for a road car just stick with good quality new rubber bushings.
This was very wholesome! I've got the TT that's I've spent so much on but currently enjoying refreshing my mums corsa although I'm not allowed to modify it 🤣
This video gave me ptsd from the time when I upgraded the brakes on my '99 Passat a couple of years back. Had to cut off the rear wheel bearings because the bolts were just multiple layers of rust. Also updated to braided brake lines. The connection from the body to the rear axle is rubber pressed on a solid line. I had to order the solid lines in the right length and bend them myself. Ended up doing everything from the abs block to the wheels. What I had planned to be a weekend job turned into a multiple weeks nightmare. But the brakes turned out nice and I learned a ton from it.
So nice to see the tracktor is back on the road again. I have a similar one in the same colour. I do have some questions: -Why did you go for a diesel and not for a 1.8T or 2.3 V5? -Also what wheels do you have on it? are those 17 or 18 inch? Keep it up Boris !
8:00 Working with cars with rust, the tear down is always the hard part. I've fixed parts where getting one part off without breaking nearby parts took 4 hours.
Those old rear disks would nicely replace my Polo's rear drums - if only you knew someone from Yorkshire who could bring them over when he comes back home to reset his accent...
11:31 that’s your abs and esp cable 😅 nothing where brake fluid goes thru ✌️ POsaidon... like the Name ☺️ Nice to see the upgrades getting back in it (the next one)
this car excites me more than the Porsche or any BMW. I guess its because the 'reachability' for the common people. except of course the jrz suspension...
Lol, the Adidas stripes on the steeringwheel :D can they make Nike swosh aswell? ^^ Do they have ABE / TÜV by the way? couldn't find information on their page.
Awesome Misha, so happy to see Ring Tracktor V2 coming together well!! Quick question, don’t the rear sway bar need to be tightened fully only once the car is on the ground?
@@mgcharoudin hehe.. I think you should check it out when getting the suspension installed. I’d done that on my Polo with the Whiteline rear sway bar as per Whiteline’s instructions. I guess it helps load up the sway bar better and more evenly once you tighten it with the car on ground.
Wow, every shop you go to in Germany is clean with mechanics that look like they know exactly what they're doing.
I mean its the ring area i guess it figures
as a mechanic u need a licence. not everyone can open a shop here.
I want to retire in Nurburg....

0:08 : Cold starting a diesel, you may wait for the preheat light to go out before turning the key.
Hhahaha no like for u. Bullseye comment
Was incredible watching the mechanics; they are so skilled it's amazing. You can tell they love what they do!
7:25 in the bin!!!
„Jo“ - Misha officially German now
Jep!
Jo
I can’t wait to race this in June in the 24 hours of Nuerburgring!
Same same. I can't wait either to be part of the pitcrew. See you there. TIER ONE raceteam
Big if true
Misha, I am almost certain the RingTracktor might finish !!!!
It will use the same premise as the le mans TDI, he will simply do 5l/100km and not need to fuel up as often
I hope Misha will race the 24hr one day!
Also, I'm excited to see your using stoptech, I have them in my integra, fairly expensive, but WOW they are brilliant!
The adidas striped steering wheel speaks to my core.
The click of a correctly adjusted torque wrench, just when you get that tiny bit of stretch in the bolt.. Mmm😏 Warm and fuzzy...
Those subframes and suspension components need some sand blasting and paint!
Yes
Its a tracktor... they can have a litle rust👍😉
This is why I bring a lot of stuff into the shop now. With the right tools and enough practice, a weeks worth of work for me gets reduced down to a few hours. You just need to find some guys you can trust. Great work.
0:01 for a moment I was completely shure it is pizza....xD
Misha, you should wait till glow plugs light turn off ;)
That Fabian guy is a beast at working efficiently! Great video 👏✌️
That's a spoiled puppy! Cute! Ring Tractor looks fun to work on. How funny that parts seen harder to get in Germany than the USA for a German car.
Also luv that high end cars are sounding more like the neighbors old pickup...
Proper garage content with professional mecs. Love it!
Good job with the TT front suspension, lots better then the stock setup. Great updates
Happy for you Misha! Looks amazing

Those black bushings for the front with the adjustabel camber are awesome! Gotta get some of these!
Oh well. Lockend at the pricetag. Thats far of what i can afford :/...
By the way. Wahre do I get the solide Sterling mount? Thanks a lot!
Me too, pizza. Great guys. They do everything! Good to see this end of car prep too! Thanks for sharing.
Finally an video of the tractor. Been waiting for this! So excited to see what you can build out of an affordable car!
Those guys are so special at their craft, clever guys.
Been waiting on this!
Hell yeah. So satisfying to watch all the components going in. Pumped for the further upgrades and updates.
Uuuuu the moment i've been waiting for the past few weeks has come 😍
This was very wholesome! I've got the TT that's I've spent so much on but currently enjoying refreshing my mums corsa although I'm not allowed to modify it 🤣
0:07 When the instrument cluster flickers like this while you're starting a TDI engine, you can be sure that it's time to replace the battery.
Damn, these guys don't fuck around.
Putting in work!
workplace ASMR, love it
omg loved this, the steering wheel looks ace!!! all the other mods are serious biz, cant wait to hear the new engine come to life
Looking really good Misha! The guys have done a great job so far.
This gave me some ASMR vibes
Love to finally see it come together. But which brand of brake lines are you using? I'm looking for my own project
Stoptech front that came with the BBK and rear was Fischer Stahlflex
@@mgcharoudin thanks! This way I’m sure I’ll get it through inspection
Nice to have a bit of look at the bushings, I'm replacing mine (VW Bora) for some purple ones in a few weeks :)
Please put an M or AMG badge for extra horse power
Both.
M badge in the grill and AMG at the back 😂
Every day, really great, Misha.
so glad you went slotted only rotors. have seen to many slotted and dotted crack after just road use nvm race use.
Morning Misha,, cheers from sunny Costa Rica
It's back, so happy for you, can't wait for the new motor to be installed, the little beast of yours is just such a fun idea, Rj in Oz
RingTracktor Phase II BEGINS!! So looking forward to the updates and first drive
Hey Misha one question, how are the black bushings on the road?
Good Video and nice steering wheel👌
✌😉
So this was basically what I did with my Mk5 Golf R36, but with Superpro bushes instead 🤘🏾

Can relate to this pain
Finally! Always look forward to progress on the tractor!
Love to book a trip to come and see you guys
Blasting volbeat like a champ!

because 1.9Tdi...
Great to see it getting nearer to funtime 👍👌
Good video
Good comment
Hello 'Misha', you have some true mechanics (not technicians) working on your Golf, great to watch. Regards, RichardA.
Poseidon!!! The Greek God of the sea. All you need now Misha is Zeus exhaust and Hercules tyres. Chris the Greek
Big horses need upgrades and big brakes... nicely done👍
Aren’t you building a 300hp engine for this thing misha? 👀
Already built, installing soon
Ive been waiting for this for so long! finally!
BEST VID EVER!! So satisfying to see those new parts installed.
10:10 "nearly killed myself, hahahahahahahhaha" relatable
A big like for the french bull at the end😍😍
Love that the Ringtractor has a towbar so you hookup a trailer of hay on way home.
So much want for the Ring tractor 😍😍😍😍
Good choice of steering wheel!
Aww, now I have to step up my game on my shit box.
Great Ringtracktor update 👍
Wow your Golf gonna drive so nicely when all is done, can’t wait for the finished article!
Oh yeah baby this is what we're talking about ..
Best build going on .. on the Green Hell 👍
Evening Misha, it’s coming along nicely
Great! Great!
Quality build for a quality driver
Great vid as always Misha!👌🏻🤟🏻
Nice Posseidon ad. 👌
8:00 Working with cars with rust, the tear down is always the hard part. I've fixed parts where getting one part off without breaking nearby parts took 4 hours.
2:03 that wheel may look good with the ringtracktor
Those old rear disks would nicely replace my Polo's rear drums - if only you knew someone from Yorkshire who could bring them over when he comes back home to reset his accent...
Omg thats a 67 /68 mustang. Thats my dream car. Ahhhhhrrrr
That was the best food shot ever! :D Gentle and hungry little frenchie :)
YEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSS FINALY!!! :)
Top demais o tratamento que o galfao merece top..
I actually want to see as much ring tractor content as possible
11:31 that’s your abs and esp cable 😅 nothing where brake fluid goes thru ✌️ POsaidon... like the Name ☺️ Nice to see the upgrades getting back in it (the next one)
Getting 80's MTV flashbacks hearing some of the music in the background.
Mighty Apex Mods :D
Big upgrades on Ring Tractor !! Which Bilstein you have in Golf are they worth anything?
I don't know, came with the car.
Food shot with Dog? That is some 10/10 tier 1 awesome right there.
Hallo Misha nice vlog
The green G looks sweet!
this car excites me more than the Porsche or any BMW. I guess its because the 'reachability' for the common people. except of course the jrz suspension...
tt225 calipers, discs and pads. Is nice alternative to new.
I really love the colour of your car!!🥰🥰
Great video
Getting as good as my Volvo. Almost :)
New glasses Misha? 😯 Either way nice frames
Same old
Mega toll Arbeit! Ich möchte ihn bald auf dem Ring sehen👍👍
Cool video 👍🏻
YES! Love me some Ringtacktor updates!
0:09 You're not letting the glow plugs heat up, which is likely why it stalled.
Great! Let the games begin! I like the tracksuit mod on the steering wheel. The details are important. I am excited to see more of that!
Lol, the Adidas stripes on the steeringwheel :D can they make Nike swosh aswell? ^^ Do they have ABE / TÜV by the way? couldn't find information on their page.
It's an OEM part, it just needs putting in the papers.
Awesome Misha, so happy to see Ring Tracktor V2 coming together well!! Quick question, don’t the rear sway bar need to be tightened fully only once the car is on the ground?
No clue, worked last time hehe.
