Hello everyone! I hope you enjoy the video. I’ve been getting a lot of messages of people who didn’t see my videos in their feed. Make sure to click on the little bell icon if you don’t want that problem 🙂Cheers!
Remove the helper springs it will give you a comfortable ride I promise
Van waar bent gij feitelijk?
Nice man. I hv the same car but its a 2005 model and the quality is good stock from factory.
Notes for next trip to Belgium: buy chocolate, visit Memphis :)
@Cristian Enea well, as it is a joke i don’t know. And as a matter or fact, Belgium is way more than chocolate.
I like the Dutch speaking part of Belgium more - just beware the driving in Brussels is appalling. People will literally cut across 5-6 lanes of motorway traffic without looking. I visited a fair few of the battlefields in places like Flanders. I visited Mons. I visited the Lions mound where the battle of Waterloo was. Parts of Brussels are a little "grubby" but some of it is quite nice like the golden square.
@@zoidberg444 true story, driving in brux is scary 😂
Hahahahahahahaha love it!!
When you went for your drive and you looked at the camera and said ‘Nice’ I was thinking exactly the same 🤣
Memphis: probably the coolest guy in the world. Always makes everything look so easy. When I changed my coil-overs there was lots of swearing and not an insignificant amount of bleeding 😎
But in the end it was worth it, right? :D
Good evening from south Africa. Enjoy your video's. Andre
Very impressive work on your Golf Mark 1. Brilliant cars, class styling. I learnt to drive in one 40 years ago! Your videos are getting better all the time. Thank you :-)
So happy for you and for how the Golf turned out, can't wait to see the 2.0 swap. Keep up the great work!
Very nice Video and work . Happy for you that you like the ride and looking forward to the next video!! Keep on doing this!!!
Brilliant! I also decided to put ST suspension with black springs on my Mk2 during my 1.8T swap! Looks amazing
i have been binge watching your videos the past few days and I've learned so much. I'm really glad i found your channel!
Yes, very good video.
I had V-Max coilovers on my B5 Audi and had them till they died. Then about 2 years ago I put on ST's and they are great. I think you will like them much more.
Thanks for taking us on this ride with you. 👍🏾
Keep up the good work.
The new higher ride height looks better anyway! Equal gap between the tire and the wheel arch makes it look more refined and correct.
Greetings from South Carolina! Just recently discovered your channel, absolutely love watching your videos! Keep up the great work!! Your content definitely gives me inspiration to work on both of my mk1’s!
South African tip 🇿🇦
Remove the helper springs
It makes the ride softer
And give more drop, when remove helper springs.
I like my car, know how to fill it with gas and I'm good driving it. That's all I know, but still it's so nice to follow someone who knows "a bit" more about cars :D Nice video again, thanks!!
Loving the varied content Memphis when you doing the engine swap on the golf 🇬🇧🇬🇧👍👍
really enjoying your videos...just relaxing to watch
Great explanation on the issue at hand with the damper travel and preloading of the spring on the V-maxx set. Basically you’re “topping out” instead of bottoming out during your driving. When designing the suspension setup for a car, often the ratio between bump and rebound travel is quite a key parameter. In short; your thinking is right ;)
Another enjoyable and interesting video as usual, Thanks. Hope u have a ncie day.
If you can take your hands off the wheel while driving thats a damn good alignment. Very impressive sir.😀
Awesome to watch, keep doing great content!
Nice swap! You make it look easy. Must be all the maintenance you do on your cars. Top tip for next time and normal convention would be for bolts to be installed fore to aft, that way if the nut comes undone the bolt is not going to fall out so easily. Cheers for the great videos.
Although late, some clarification about the ST suspension being similar to KW: ST suspensions was established by KW as its “cheaper” sister brand, but there is no difference between them on the inside. The only real difference is the surface finish. KW uses more expensive finishes, but as far as longevity of the finishes is concerned, both should outlast the internals by some time.
the best and the most helpful man, POST MORE VIDEOS BRO I LOVE ALL YOUR WORK RESPECT FROM KOSOVA ALBANIA
Stoked to see the swap!!
Nice legs @9:50 :D. Great video, Memphis!
Damn, your toe alignment tool is pretty clever 👌 I remember doing the alignment on my car after changing the steering ball joint with just a tape measure, it was kinda awkward and only gave me an okay result... In the end I had an alignment made in a shop, it was only 25 bucks 😅
I had a 1984 VW Golf (Rabbit in the US). I wish I still had it to play with!
As always .. awesome and informative video
Very nice job and video:) Greetings from Bulgaria:)
14:30 Very nice poster you have in the background ! hahaha :D
Yo yo from South Africa keep up with the good videos
Amazing vids man, keep it up.
Grand job that lift was so worth installing
I was a fairly good mechanic in my younger days. But you take our talent to a new level. Bravo young man, great video and even better work. RickGTI…..
Nice video, you can get rear axle caps to fill the large open holes in your nicely refurbed rear axle. Got mine here in the Uk off ebay
Greetings from Finland. I like your videos.
Top werk!
nice video, love the rabbit badge
Hello from Brazil!! Nice video
Best of YT!!!!
Nu nog een ronkende uitlaat 💪 coole video
Good job men!
that reminds me when i did alighment on my 205 by eye, and got it perfect :D
I was thinking their tools must been broken but wheel is pointing straight and i have no uneven wear on tires after almost 10k km
nice job u make it look easy and love hoe the car sounds when u shift good job cant wait for the next one be safe
cool car man, looks good
Awesome another golf Video! I was really looking forward to it so you’re getting the like in advance! :)
I’m finally here early 😭 This is gonna be awesome
You know mate if you want to reduce the cabin noise a bit you could add some of that butile sound deadening. My current daily driver even doing a few small bits like the rear wheel arches, spare tyre well and the doors and stuffed some foam in a few other spaces between panels and inside the metal structure and a bit of the roof cut down on a lot of road noise. It's a much nicer drive now.
Loved this video also ... keep ‘m coming 👍👍👏🏻👏🏻😀
I have a Vauxhall corsa d sricdti 1.7 turbo diesel 130bhp 220nmt in the UK 🇬🇧 out in the countryside and love it road the roads near me i am 62 but do still love driving like your videos keep up the good work 💪 👏 🙌 👍
nice work it look nice
Great car and video😃🇳🇴
That adjustment collar is for preloading the spring, although it can effect ride height the design is to adjust static sag. Basically altering the stiffness of the spring.
Totally agree. See it all the time in the motorbike world. Everyone adjusts spring preload to change ride height when carrying pillion. All it does is increase preload so that static sag is correct but as soon as spring is past the preload you have the same weak spring rate that you had before.
In this instance he has likely been increasing pre load which makes it sit higher when not moving.
De lujo bro 😎
I Love this channel soo much
Love the Channel! I live In Memphis tn and have a golf
You know yer stuff young fellow big thumbs up :-)
Thanks for an interesting video, great English to.
Helpful and I hope shall guide to change my shock absorbers for vw golf 3 1.9 tdi.
Your new Fan From Kenya 🇰🇪
Hoi Memphis, bedankt voor deze video! Ik ben benieuwd naar je 2.0 8V swap. Ik ben al een tijdje aan het rondkijken om een vergelijkbare swap te doen in mijn mk1 Jetta. Als de motor swap video net zo gedetailleerd gaat worden als je achteras refurb (welke ik stap voor stap heb gevolgd op mijn achteras, waarvoor dank!) is er een dikke kans dat ik een vergelijkbare route ga bewandelen. Succes!
Looking at the thumbnail scrolling through videos I thought it was a VW Gol XD
Nice Golf.
Such a nice Mk1 deserves a ST coilover set!, no comparison to your previous set in quality.
Maybe better if you do a professionel allignment still although the basics are ok.
Ben benieuwd naar je 2.0 swap!
You mensioned buying an extra golf 1! This time a convertible golf 1? Great Channel!
Any update on the garage building 😁
Simple suggestion : open a door between the old and the new one through the place when the windows are to have extra more indoor space
Also a complete renovation of your skid loader it deserve it
Saludos Memphis de 🇨🇱😎🇩🇪
I'm loving your videos! its a shame you only upload once a month :(
Don't forget to replace the transmission boot on the right side where you adjusted your alignment 👌
Hey Stino, love the golf i am very jelly, when i get a garage like yours one day ill deff buy one aswell, its imo one of the best looking cars ever made. Peace! - Huzze95
Love it more Mk1 content 👌
Love that golf
Awesome!
AMAZINGNES!!!
the fact that u put some music in the background is very good ! it like improve the video!!
De badge it pal. It’s a golf not a rabbit 🤣 loving your work doe 👍
Nice Golf ;)
Nice ! De France 🇨🇵👍
St is a very good suspension you will notice, driving them too on my mk2
oo awsome suspention i run the same on my mini r56 ( also from belgium 😁)
New From Kenya 🇰🇪
The screw in the spring seat is meant to be tightend by the same tool used for adjusting the damper. Because it is small you are not going to strip out the threads in the springseat
Have the same locking screw on my ap coilovers but they can handle quite alot of force, they look fragile but are quite strong ;)
Dude where are you from I really love your little golf been following along ,oh and I really like the building style with the wood and what not
Highly informative, entertaining and easy to follow video Memphis. The MK1 golf is looking sick... time for a road trip? 😂😂 could I ask what is the brand of the trolley jack you used when propping up the rear axle?
Facom
Good!!!
😍😍😍👌👍😎good man
@12:47 after modifying suspension and dropping the car on it's tires it's good idea to 'jump' on it a few times to make it adjust itself
Lol, ik heb een set Weitec Hicon GT's (voorloper van ST suspension) onder mijn caddy mk1 en inderdaad die "locking screw" is bij een poot al kapot/dol, dus voorzichtig mee doen! :)
Thx 🚗👍
KW uses the same screw to hold down the coil overs and had no issues so far and they have been on my car for a year
Have heard that you shouldn't use impact gun on the top damper nuts. The rapid spin could damage inner seals 🤷♂️ Just a thought
Straight pipe 4sure!
Ik heb indertijd ringen van een Vmax op mijn Kw variant 1 gebruikt. (Wilt ook juist lukken dat dit juist dezelfde diameter en spoed had van draad. :-P ) Deze draaien vast tegen elkaar wat er voor zorgt dat je de schroefdraad op de veerpoot niet beschadigd. Normaal moet je, voor je naar de keuring gaat, het kleine stelschroefje zo hard aandraaien dat je in feite heel de schroefdraad van de veerpoot beschadigd zodat het onmogelijk wordt om de rijhoogte nog te verstellen. Dit is wat toen de Crauwels van Crauwels banden in Begijnendijk mij heeft gezegd.
can you do a video on what mods are legal and illigal in belgium?
None are legal haha, he's not even allowed to daily drive this car to school or work. I drove to work once with my classic beetle and police stopped me, they investigated if i was allowed to drive and what i was up to. Used the anpr camera's and treated me as a criminal and they took my license plates and my cirtificate. It was a fully stock, original vw beetle. So no tuning, no big noises of any of those things. So i can say to you. In belgium nothing is allowed. Only sitting on a chair, work andpay your taxes. (let echt op met o plaat gebruik, ze gebruiken alle middelen om je te pakken. Zelfs een dags vliegen behandelen ze als veel plegers.)
@@daalhoffarm but why its illegal to dayli drive a classic car in belgium? In Germany you could get a cheaper inchurance, when you get a special inchurance for classic cars. In this case you must have an second car for dayli use. Also your max. kilometers per year are lower for the classic car. But if you order a normal inchurance for your classic car you could drive it like every other car.
@@tobiasteuber2044 all is the same in Belgium except your not allowed to do commercial trips with you classic licensed car. So not going to work and school, weddings or commercial for tv, or other profitable income drives are forbidden. If he licensed his golf like a '' car for daily use'' he can do daily it. But then not even other size rims and tyres are allowed. Its just a crime to drive in Belgium, the laws are unfinished and the police takes every word seriously.
@@daalhoffarm what? In Belgium its just allowed to modify classic cars but no "normal" cars for dayli use? Thats helarious.
I thought the laws in Germany are strict in relation to tuning but that is just silly.
@@tobiasteuber2044 you can modify every car, up and till you have a tuv (gocar) certificate. Classic cars can have small changes like tyre size, fiber hood, lowered until 14cm i belive. But still very strict. There must be a European law to set things straight. For example in the Netherlands almost everything is allowed, even driving a tube frame vw sandrail buggy, lowered, narrowed, highly modified.
Mooie episode maar zoals zo vaak heb erg weinig begrepen van de manier hoe je dit aanpakt., en zeker toen het om het afstellen ging van de wielen. Maar het plezier wat ik aan je video,s beleef is vele male hoger en ik vindt het pittig om te zien hoe de zaken soms aanpakt ! Niet gehinderd door enige twijfel begin je aan elke klus en dat is iets wat ik niet snel zou doen en het bijna altijd uitbesteed aan de lokale Garage....daarom kijk zo graag naar je/jullie video,s ! Hoop snel een vervolg te zien als het om de motor gaat want dat is helemaal onbekend terrein voor mij ! Dus hopelijk tot snel !
Oh I see... now a Rabbit! How nice.
damn, sounds much better than that Volvo diesel
Nice;)
i like seeing shiny new parts on shiny old cars..
😅
