Thanks for watching! :-) - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Fair play to the owner, he knows how to drive his car.
I always enjoyed more the idea of a lower horsepower combined with massive weight reduction. Lower power, lower risks of breaking down...lower mass, reduced wear in all mechanical components...from tires to suspension, brakes, everything. Perfection.
Have the best of both worlds high bhp and low weight in a sorted chassis,
@@mattvaughan180many cars don't use all power because of the rest, all cars can drive faster without power upgrades, just better grip and brakes to help to use all the power. People only do that things when put more power but can enjoy more of a car and use more power working on it. I have a original car with 115 hp and cant use all power because grip and brake
had one when i was just out of uni and it was so nice! rare to see them on the road now (mainly bettered old ones driven by chavs)
I had an '04 LC and '05 LCR back in the day, both modified. Checked the MoT history a few weeks ago and both are still on the road and going strong, so they're hiding somewhere!
Cars lovely, really nice build 😍
Superb! Made me actually want one!
Wonder how much it weights? Never used to be a fan of these till couple years ago, till lad at work showed me his and started to like them, wouldnt mind one either
Quality 🤘
Miss mine, I had one in red as well. Had it for 4+ years sold it then a week later the new owner wrapped it around a tree 😢
Always loved these MK1 Cupras 👌
My mate used to have one of these 270bhp amg alloys!
spent a fortune on it was a fun car.....until it caught fire completely destroyed
Nice build, i like the aspect of aiming for handling over big power. A fairly unique concept, driver seems like a nice guy and defo knows how to handle his car which is always cool to see.
Removing the headliner probably has no impact on weight reduction/power

refreshing to see these things, the mqb stuff is so boring now
All sound the same and everyone got them on finance
@@JordzyBrev most of your old r34 gtr’s, cossies, evo’s, and other classics were on finance back in the day, i genuinely dont understand why finance effects a car? Isnt that like walking into 2 identical 800 grand show homes sat side by side, and saying well that one has a mortgage so its not as good as the un mortgaged one? I dont get it? Serious question, because im telling you right now if someone gave me 50 grand cash. Either buy the car i want for 50 grand, just to run about shouting well its not on finance (your losing money monthly anyway with its depreciation even if it is paid cash) or buy an old flat to let, and finance the car, trust me im buying the flat, as thats a lifelong investment, literally a monthly income till your 6 feet under or sell it or pass it down to your children when you retire, never spunk big money into a depreciating asset, whether you have the cash in the bank or not. Cars dont make you money. So put it into something that does. The money from property will be an income for life, car finance is 5 years. And you own the car at the end of it anyway. Spunk that into the car, the money fizzles away. The car will be worth the same in 10 years whether it was on finance or not. And you have nothing making you money from other sources you could have put the money into (the flat) because you blootered it on the car which is worth half its value, if that, in 4/5 years anyway 😂
@@pb3382 nothing wrong with finance, just everyone gets a s3, rs3 , golf r, m140i, that’s why cars like that are effected in the car scene, I finance car parts if it’s a lot of money
@JordzyBrev not sure what u expect. Petrol prices are a joke. Older cars having crazy tax. Crappy ULEZ. Insurance prices on young drivers is a joke. It's not the same as it was back in the day
@@Insetta I’m 26, £395 a year tax, £89 a month on insurance fully comp mods declared and full tank in my fn2 type r is £70 I only use 99 ron and its my daily, for me to insure a m140i, m2 comp like almost £300 a month
This generation of VAG cars with these 1.8s handle so well. Light and nible!
You can't beat a good olde manual for driver engagement
owned one of these in black, 225bhp standard, nice car at the time but felt a little dull engine wise
Very nice👌🏻
Wasn't these 225bhp from factory
Couldn’t keep up with me though 🤣🤣
Always that one guy.
Yeah you know it already raced the car buddy so I will be that guy
@@jackwatkins5536 theres always faster out there man. When i beat people wether it be quarter mile or track i dont show off on the internet mate.
Wonder why I put laughing faces I know the kid it’s banter I know there is plenty of faster cars out there other people that put it out on the internet I wouldn’t worry about it I got slatted for my build on TH-cam doesn’t bother me in the slightest 👍🏼
@@jackwatkins5536 true this.
Get bqr123 with his cupra or v8 swapped e36👌
Damnn that’s a name I haven’t seen in ages ! Crazy that the still has that cupra
@@duangc3280 bet your cars sick 😂😂
@@duangc3280 cheer up mate
@@keelanroche683 ive seen v8 swapped e36, it handles like crap and it doesnt matter what i drive, u wont be happy if i told u
