@@jamstar6682 yeah exactly, I'm paying £960 for a 1.6 diesel fiesta with 3 years no claims. Some people pay that with 1 years no claims or for a faster car outside London. It also don't help sadiq Khan is wanting to put up an emissions charge in 2021 in the whole of London for mainly diesel owners. I sadly have to sell my car if they do this as I won't be able to pay £12.50 a day.
Here's a good way to explain the speed. Call out the speed on the speedo every 10mph when you put your foot down. We can literally calculate the acceleration that way :)
Ceejay Williams yea I know what you mean. Almost like I’m doing a poo. Must be a natural reaction. When I edit I zoom in on it as well just to highlight it.
The car hates u for his u drive it. Flooring it every 5 secs and letting off before full boost is annoying af for the car AND the viewer. Grow a pair and either do a proper pull or just cruise. Constantly stabbing the gas every 5 secs and letting off because you’re scared is horrible for the dsg, turbo and a/f ratios. Learn to drive well enough to have confidence in your your abilities behind the wheel of a car pulling hard
@@Hayden734 Im not the OP, but i think its common sense to normal people, i have observed people who drive cars very well, they are usually balanced in their way they approach life in general and that reflects in their driving , therefore doing this kind of thing where u floor and then letting off is a sign of a deeper psychological problem unresolved, im just saying!
Been watching Calvins videos from waaay back when he done a video on the EP3!! Love the content and the quality! This Golf R is a beast. Definitely need a 0-100mph speed test on this. Keep up the good work mate!!
good to see another video on this car! this is pretty much my dream car. no one would ever look twice at it in traffic. and no one would get a second look at it when you give it the Beans!
Have you thought about getting an LED lamp for in-car filming? That could help with the battle against darkness? Not quite sure why I phrased it as "battle against darkness" 😂I know what you mean though; filming in winter is a right ball-ache.
Great stuff Calvin, really enjoying your content now, hope you all the best and millions of views! You deserve it. Need more true youtubers like yourself & Ricky the dynamic duo 💯
I think what you're trying to say is that these days you don't need to spend £200k plus on a supercar as affordable highly modded non-super cars have now almost caught them up.
Calvin you're right it's hard to tell how fast through camera, that's why I like my car youtubers to drive a bunch of different bhp cars so I can compare the facial expression instead.
Dude, don't change a single thing on that car but tires at some point! You have a unicorn car, understated looks and killer power train. That car will be famous for ever.👍🏿Get a good cleaning to it, paint correction and paint protection, color is sick as dope..👍🏿
Happy for you pal....come down to Wales and hook up I'll show you the must epic roads down here ! Driving bliss through the mountains. Respect from Wales
So much fun to watch! thanks for sharing. Would you consider putting on some perforated brake discs? They would look so nice on your R. Again, congratulations, fantastic car,,
The best way to explain it (it brings about that feeling like your hair is growing real fast on your neck) kinda feeling when the driverits the foot down @8:55
That's what I mean, budget tyres on a 600hp car. It's all good it just surprises me that someone puts that effort and money into that much power and scrimps on tyres
Not really discrimination but I see your point. I had them on my previous car so I do have experience of them. Just not a tyre I'd have put on a car like this that's all. It's still on the road though so can't be all bad! I have pilot sport 4 now and the difference is night and day. My point being you'd get more power down with a better tyre.
Wildeheart Totally agree with you. I had these Kuhmo’s on my Impreza RA because i liked to slide it due to their poor grip. I now run Pilot 4S’s in my rwd and you get what you pay for.
New sub to your channel having come here via Ricky (LLF). Could i ask why the previous engine went pop ? Have they fixed the underlying issue in getting you to acquire the car. Your definitely doing things different to other channels and i look forward to catching up with your earlier videos.
My New Golf R is 310 bhp , so this must be Mental to drive, mine is quick enough for me, but 600 bhp !! superb stuff ..... and the RMotion helps big style
Hahahaha Calvin, the look on your face is priceless when you put your foot down. I remember watching Arthur on Ricky's channel hahaha. Excellent content bro.
Probably a daft question but is it Lapiz Blue..I only ask as lots of LB Golf R's look 'bluey/purple' on film...but this one on LLF and now your channel look more 'greeny/blue'. I just thought it was the light on Arthur's driveway..so just wondered? Great purchase like it as a daily..
Mark Williams it’s just our colour grading mate. It messes with the blue’s which in some respects is nice but others (like the car in this case) it is Lapiz blue 👍
I wonder if you can do 600 to a new 2019 gti or golf R only because it has more control with AWD? Like not exactly recommended for gti? Too much power and the car won't be able to adapt to the performance as well as a golf R might have.
Can I just ask, how you people get insured in the UK in these high bhp cars...they all rich? Or lying to insurers? Cos I'm pretty sure there isn't an insurer in Ireland that would take you on
It's rare to hear a modified one of these that actually sounds nice, and without all of those ridiculous pops and farting noises! I've just bought a Skoda Superb with the same engine and drivetrain and wish I'd bought an older version so that it was closer to the end of it's warranty so I could mod the engine a bit, although not to this extent. Enjoy it Calvin 👍.
Looks like you're wincing in pain every time you hit the throttle...car a bit much to handle or is your life flashing before your eyes every time you hit the torque curve?
Cool Golf Calvin! To show its power, perhaps you could have a race down a drag strip /airfield against Ricky's M4, or perhaps with something with more power than that??
Hello mate, do I need meth fuel system for st3, or just the turbo like TTE525 will be ok? My goal is 500Hp.. But my friend tells, gas like 98 will not be enuf for the tune
How do you find the tyres mate? Guys in the States absolutely love them on the F10 M5 and when the Pilot Sports are done I'm thinking of going for the Kumho PS91

Is it for sale

Insurance: “Is the car modified in any way?”
Calvin: “Naahh completely stock”.

Police: “Is the car modified in any way?”

Hopefully Calvin has a clean driving history with many no claims bonus to keep the insurance costs low 😂. Insurance in the UK love to do people over

Anyone know approx how much it would cost to add 300hp plus supporting mods to a golf r?
You know it’s fast when it makes you look constipated😂

Yo Calvin u are blessed bro to get your hands on Arthur’s car it’s a legend and so is he 💯
Hear hear
My mk7 golf r is running stage 2 at 401 BHP... can’t imagine 600BHP... can you do a launch Control video on it
From the video the car sounds exaclty like a 400bhp stage 2... not 600hp...
MrArt69 defo is 600BHP I have seen the videos of the mods 😂😂 fat turbo
simonisable JBS Auto design in chesterfield mate...
Jason Elliott are you running meth ?
Here's a good way to explain the speed. Call out the speed on the speedo every 10mph when you put your foot down. We can literally calculate the acceleration that way :)
Sassy ok I’ll do it next time just don’t tell the police tho please.
@@CalvinsCarDiary oh tits I forgot about that.
@James car vlogsthat's a good one ;)
Call out the speed in 1mph increments ;)
cracked me up when you said "i'm alright Arthur" hahah, this car is a monster
Quick tip, click down for sport and them flick it into manual mode. Makes a lovely difference
You should do a recorded 0-60 / 0-100 in this. I always wanted to know what it does.
Agreed. Would be nice to see 40-140 and 100-160
Guys I bought a draggy box for this but I need a road where I can do it without getting done 👮🏻♂️ I’ll sort something out.
@@CalvinsCarDiary bruntingthorpe if thats how you spell it ha
i'm guessing 3 and 5 seconds lol
Dragy will be interesting I’m guessing 6.2-6.4 100-200

New subscriber thanks to Ricky @llf, you seem like a sound guy Calvin glad I sub’d, that Golf is pure madness, look forward to seeing more of it 👍
How can you explain it? GoPro filming the instrument cluster, pedal to the metal and launch that baby
why do you make such a strange face when flooring it? yes is very fast.........but other youtubers like LLF smile or put on a fast and furious face on
Ceejay Williams yea I know what you mean. Almost like I’m doing a poo. Must be a natural reaction. When I edit I zoom in on it as well just to highlight it.
@@CalvinsCarDiary 😂
Try flooring it in reverse
😂
Gotta be different Bro ;)
Sick whip but it needs the Pretoria wheel option
17K Calvin. Flying up. Glad to see you doing well. Totally deserved.
Yes Calvin defo get a c63 AMG looking forward to that.
Nice to see the subs going up you deserve way more
Kam Shah thank you bro 👊🏼

I agree your a shite bag. I love cars I love cars haha your scared to give it full throttle right through the box
All so jealous. Don't think he needs any advice off anyone. He obviously has more brains than most.
Forget the term supercar killer this is a supercar cannibal on steroids
Was waiting for this video to upload. Got a sub here from LLF!!!! You got a weapon there Calvin. ✔✔✔👌

good to see another video on this car! this is pretty much my dream car. no one would ever look twice at it in traffic. and no one would get a second look at it when you give it the Beans!
I watch a lot of car youtubers, but this has to be one of the best for car cinematic's
what camera do you use mate? qualitys mint!

beautiful car, like you say, understated, no flared arches and spoilers and crazy grill
Needs pretoria alloys mate. Lush motor though!
The king of dirty the south bro
And leather interior!!
@@soniabegum6756 yes for sure
@@soniabegum6756 yes
@Alfredo Mussolini doesn't need more doors haha
Omg yes gloss black Pretoria’s would look perfect.
HAPPY FOR YOU BRO, My mk4 Golf is running exactly double the power at 300bhp so I can imagine doubling that to 600😱
Great stuff Calvin, really enjoying your content now, hope you all the best and millions of views! You deserve it. Need more true youtubers like yourself & Ricky the dynamic duo 💯
The seats looks like Halfords seat covers. The mk5 GTi seats were much nicer or mk6
As Calvin would say! “BLOODY” sick video well done again calv content always improving! Smashed another one
"I paid more than its worth cause its famous on youtube" Yeah, smart guy lmfao
I really like this guy. Down to earth and very different from the rest of the car youtubers keep it up man
Love this cars setup, engine, mods and gearbox is perfect for a daily
Mad that this car is what brought me to this channel and it’s back again 😂❤
I think what you're trying to say is that these days you don't need to spend £200k plus on a supercar as affordable highly modded non-super cars have now almost caught them up.
Been waiting for this video! Got a 7.5R myself, been loving series too!
The opening and closing of the door was class mate, love your videos the golf is awesome.
Absolute madness. One of the most understated cars around.
just reject the hate and feel the love,keep up the good work Calvin
Calvin you're right it's hard to tell how fast through camera, that's why I like my car youtubers to drive a bunch of different bhp cars so I can compare the facial expression instead.
You should do some lap times at curborough race circuit to illustrate the difference between a stock Golf R and a modified Golf R
Dude, don't change a single thing on that car but tires at some point! You have a unicorn car, understated looks and killer power train. That car will be famous for ever.👍🏿Get a good cleaning to it, paint correction and paint protection, color is sick as dope..👍🏿
That is insane! Another decent video mate 👌
I'm the same with being a passenger although there are two people that I trust implicitly behind the wheel while I'm in the passenger seat
Since that video "this 75 year old builds a 600bhp golf r" I'm addicted to Golf R's and started watching like a ton of car videos.
Happy for you pal....come down to Wales and hook up I'll show you the must epic roads down here ! Driving bliss through the mountains. Respect from Wales
So much fun to watch! thanks for sharing. Would you consider putting on some perforated brake discs? They would look so nice on your R. Again, congratulations, fantastic car,,
Some of the best cinematic shots that the TH-cam car scene has mate👍🏻
The best way to explain it (it brings about that feeling like your hair is growing real fast on your neck) kinda feeling when the driverits the foot down @8:55
The door and the music stopping 😂😂 class
Just your laughter explained how fast it is,what a legend Arthur is,love the scenes with that motor
Robert King yea I do get a bit excited.....
This door/music thing got me completely! Laughed so hard haha :D! Perfect car man! Love the color! Save drivings!
Will u dyno it to see what it’s pumping out? Is it quicker than ur gtr was?
Great video 👍🏼
Hi, would you please give some details on how the modification was made and which parts were used? Thank you.
Suprised to see Khumo Ecstas on a 600bhp car. 😳 you'll likely enjoy it more with better tyres. Great car man, enjoy
Wildeheart they’re actually great budget tyres... on the VAG hot hatches
That's what I mean, budget tyres on a 600hp car. It's all good it just surprises me that someone puts that effort and money into that much power and scrimps on tyres
Don't discriminate unless you have done direct side by side comparisons yourself. You'd be surprised on the kumhos, very surprised. 👍
Not really discrimination but I see your point. I had them on my previous car so I do have experience of them. Just not a tyre I'd have put on a car like this that's all.

The edit on the cinematic at the start :o Absolutely killed it!
A modern day Pulsar GTI-R?
Calvin lad you are smashing it, proper good videos mate
That face you make is epic. What a friggin awesome Golf. On video it sounds more like a rally car with throttle bodies or Weber/Dellorto carbs.

Summertime drag videos are going to be killer!Launch it!Congrats on a great R!
How can you like cars and be scared of driving fast 😂🤭
Arsh not scared of driving fast, just scared of being a passenger in a car that’s driving fast 👊🏼
When you accelerated you make a funny face 😂
Im the same, Hate being a passenger. Arthur is a legend but the thought of his age/reaction times would be crossing my mind in that position.
8:05 you looked shook
Love the video, would like to see more of the "having fun" side of cars on this channel too Calvin👍👌
Exactly like you Calvin. Hated alton towers and shit as I wasn't in control . Same with cars I get a bitty nervous when I'm the passenger
Can I just ask, how you people get insured in the UK in these high bhp cars...they all rich? Or lying to insurers?
Cos I'm pretty sure there isn't an insurer in Ireland that would take you on
MrElectricSkittles traders insurance
MrElectricSkittles insurance isn’t that expensive once you’re old enough
Its only expensive if you are under 25, once you are over that age the price drops big cause they dont class you as a young driver.
It's rare to hear a modified one of these that actually sounds nice, and without all of those ridiculous pops and farting noises!

Love ya vids calv keep em coming bro 🤛🏻
My 7R is running 420bhp, I can only imagine how quick a stage 3 car is🌪
Your actually a good reviewer editing on point too. Can see you making it big real quick
It has so much power, it has so much power. It has ridiculous amounts of power. Did I mention it has a lot of power? Wow, it has so much power.
Interesting choice of rubber on a 600 brake motor? What are your thoughts on the Kumhos?
Fantastic car mate and arthur is an absolute legend👍 loving the content keep it up mate.
The pure fear and adrenaline in your facial expression when you floor it is toooo funny to watch ! Absolute top purchase hope you have fun in it!
Dream car!!
New to the channel, great content.
Keep up the good work. 👍👍
wow what a 600 bhp golf R lovely blue colour beast youve bought ,great content ,its a amazing car cal m8
Looks like you're wincing in pain every time you hit the throttle...car a bit much to handle or is your life flashing before your eyes every time you hit the torque curve?
To explain how fast this car is just buy that thing which measures 0-100 etc, don't remember the exact name of that thing unfortunately.
Lovely motor Calvin. Loving the vids
Does anyone make an off the shelf kit to support 600 whp? What's the max psi this engine can handle daily? Strongly considering this project too :)
Awesome video m8, try and arrange a drag with a stock gtr to put into perspective just how fast the R really is! Luv the channel. Cheers j
Amazing video buddy! pls keep doing these sort of videos, even random cars from ur fleet!
Rejoice Rone thank you mate. Yea it won’t always be Golf r stuff, I’ve got so many other cars to film.
Are you actually going to keep your foot down or just keep tickling the throttle
Cool Golf Calvin! To show its power, perhaps you could have a race down a drag strip /airfield against Ricky's M4, or perhaps with something with more power than that??
Understated Class and Elegance!! Tonight in fact I smoked a BMW off the line and down the road...he was completely gobsmacked!!! Lol
Ace vid as usual. Shame we can't have more forward facing shots to see how rapid the car is when you boot it
You need to ditch the tires and get some ps4s and you will love the drive.
Nabster bmwfan Totally agree!
Defo & new alloys theres awful them wheels
Hello mate, do I need meth fuel system for st3, or just the turbo like TTE525 will be ok? My goal is 500Hp.. But my friend tells, gas like 98 will not be enuf for the tune
