Looks sick reminds me of Strictly European Motors Red GTI they built back in the day for the track i think it was 9 seconds 1/4 mile car had traction issues to go faster. I mentioned to them 20+ years ago install tracking arms so they dont flex and move forwards to help it hook and it did... love the show one day it woukd be fantastic to meet you. Happy fathers day gentlemen!!!
That thing is a beast! I’ll forgive you for the mk3 comment lol I miss mine and you just can’t find a decent one for sale that’s not an insane price since most of them have returned their elements to earth in lovely piles of rust 😂
Last thing I will add. I painted my MK2 Silver Midden Pearl. It was the paint of the 99 Mtsu GSX. You know what make the back of the car? Crystal clear M3 red/white taillights. I wonder if you find a pair for the drag car under $2k lol
That's not what's actually happening. 1st is very long, and what's happening in these runs is the tires spinning for a while, and then traction control brings the engine down too aggressively which takes too much power out causing it then to bog. It's all just in tuning, which requires seat time and data to correct. This was a good start.
I only had one run where I had any decent mph (145mph) and I didn't pull the chute and it felt awesome, honestly. However I need more seat time to make a proper opinion.
Question... What do you guys think about the Blue Gates RPM timing belts? 1.8t 20 valve stock tensioner set up, daily. Also with IE rods, Brian Crower valves and Supertech springs and retainers, should easily be able to withstand 8000 rpm right?
It was very low on priority list compared to what was needed to go race. With that said there's a few things left to paint, they'll be done before next event.
That's sad... my 2nd car was a mk3. Now I'm 40 and I have a supercharged 2.0 jetty and the one I always wanted when I was young a 95 gti vr6. Unpopular opinion, I think the golf frontend looks the best. Car looks and sounds great guys... some of the only mk3 racing content I've seen.
@@COMotorsports The 5 is when i gave up on them and got out of the car scene in general. Then the 7 came out and they saved VW with it i believe. But the 5 GTI has grown on me a bit over the last couple years.
Big achievement here. Thanks everyone for following along on the journey. ❤
Congratulations to all of you. That is a beautiful racecar.
So hyped on this can’t wait for more in the future! Thank you CO❤️
Question how did you hook your wing up? Is the vacuum Lines in line with the boost lines to activate the wing angle
@@btnoodlesThe best MK chasis IMO :-)
You guys are the best
Four Cylinder Beast, Great Color.
I’m making your rev-limiter burnout my ringtone!! 😂

Mate O mate, what a beast..!!!!
🔥🔥🔥🔥
very impatient to see you soon on track
Holy cow! You guys did an awesome job. Aba16vt kept cutting off on me today and I felt so drained until seeing this. So motivating!!!
Not bad for the first time out
As always, love ya work guys! 💪🖤
Awesome guys, the car look great and it looks like you are on your way to dialing it in. Thanks
Congratulations on a successful weekend of testing can’t wait to see it run in Las Vegas NV
Nice work gentlemen!!! Can’t wait to see you tame this beast!
Love it!!! She looks mean and sounds amazingly beautiful
Awd swap for next season👀🤤
Great Job guys!!🤘🏼
Exactly the right approach! Hope your points series goes well 👍🏻🇬🇧
I do think the mk3s are the best looking ones! And yours is beautiful! Ahah congrats
Nice job, guys! Sounds amazing. Can't wait to see you get it dialed in.
Dudessss this thing looks soooooooo good!!!!!!!!! Stoked to see this out and rippin!!!!
Hats off to you guys, I've been binge watching this build and i love the finished product 🤟
Congratulations! You guys are the best!
this is insane holy shit! looks so sick!
I had to watch it again this is fucking badass
Been waiting for this
Congratulations on a great first outing. Car looks and sounds amazing. 👍🇬🇧
Good job guys, car looks fantastic.
You built a sick track car guys, be proud!!
The car looks good, and good luck developing it. I’ll be watching 👍
Wow. It's very clean build. Congrats..
Awesome looking car. Congratulations......
Next step awd conversion? 👀
Probably not. They’re running in SFWD class I believe
It'll happen eventually.
That thing is a beast! I’ll forgive you for the mk3 comment lol I miss mine and you just can’t find a decent one for sale that’s not an insane price since most of them have returned their elements to earth in lovely piles of rust 😂
so true..mine is more rust than metal at this point
They had one job, rot. They do it well. :)

Let's go ❤❤❤
The car looks mint. However the slab front doesn’t look very aerodynamic. 😂
@@anthonysharpe5104there's not much you can do to make a box Aerodynamic. ;)
How about dsg swap since its a drag car u need those fast shifts without dropping boost
That's exactly what this transmission will do as well.
🔥🔥🔥
Which PSR turbo is in this car?
73
Schöner 16v! Aber warum die Drosselklappe unten an die Ansaugbrücken und nicht direkt von vorn bessere Füllung der zylinderkanäle 👍
It seems that the transition between 1st and 2nd is too long so that the engine almost chokes on 2nd. Maybe 2nd should have a slightly lower gear?
That's not what's actually happening. 1st is very long, and what's happening in these runs is the tires spinning for a while, and then traction control brings the engine down too aggressively which takes too much power out causing it then to bog.

How did the air brake spoiler work out?
I only had one run where I had any decent mph (145mph) and I didn't pull the chute and it felt awesome, honestly. However I need more seat time to make a proper opinion.
Hey before I get deeper in this yet another amazing vid. Is this an ABA with 16v head?
Nope. O6A bottom end (1.8t stuff), with 16v head.
@@COMotorsports sweet guys! Been a big fan since the beginning. And one day will come up your way!
What can I do to get around 300-350whp reliably in my mk7 1.8t. (Has exaust, intake, stage 1 tune)
Great content as usual. Is there any left hand drive aftermarket head options that flow like the 1.8t?
There is no aftermarket head options. Just CNC ported. And I don't believe L or R hand drive matters when it comes to the actual cylinder head.
where did the precision go?
Still have it, this is technically the back up. Just wanted to try it out.
@@COMotorsports 7375G?
What were your times?
I let out mid track as you can see in the runs, this was short track testing.
I've got a vento grill + headlights in my shed any good
Ooooh
@@COMotorsports will check after work
Question... What do you guys think about the Blue Gates RPM timing belts? 1.8t 20 valve stock tensioner set up, daily. Also with IE rods, Brian Crower valves and Supertech springs and retainers, should easily be able to withstand 8000 rpm right?
They're fine used with manual tensioner.
@@COMotorsports so I shouldn't be using a stock replacement hydraulic tensioner?
@@4BillC Use the 2.0 tensioner with that belt.
@@gregtibbo8664 I will look into that. Thanks!
Damn that diesel comment was a low blow😢! I used to like you guys!😂
bros got a engine on his turbo
Tell Dave too look into the camera and not in claytons eyes 👀
Dave, stop gazing into my eyes and look at that damn camera. There, I told him for you @kriskloud lol
You see what I have to look at, it's hard to look away. Like a bad accident.
@@COMotorsports my mom said I was a happy accident…
Didn't paint the valve cover. My man!
It was very low on priority list compared to what was needed to go race. With that said there's a few things left to paint, they'll be done before next event.
@@COMotorsportsI think I was talking when you mentioned it in the video, what was your best run?
Damn.. he called my baby ugly
This car needs awd , I’m sure you probably have the parts laying around lol.😊
It will happen. If you can make a fwd short track well, AWD becomes much easier.
@@COMotorsports I’m looking forward to it, the 1.8t can never loose lol

That you believe that the mk3 is the ugliest vw generation.
@@vwnut1995 they don't even want to be on the planet.
Make it awd!
Eventually

Oh no bro!?! I think we are close in age and both have dub guys forever. How can you not think the 4 then 6 are the ugliest haha
Nah... for me, it's 3, and 5 which are the worst.
@@COMotorsports The 5 is when i gave up on them and got out of the car scene in general. Then the 7 came out and they saved VW with it i believe. But the 5 GTI has grown on me a bit over the last couple years.

How many pay checks do you get Clayton ?? 😂
Same as me.
why do you guys hate diesel so much?????????????
VWs have a hard enough time making power, TDIs aren't helping the cause.
@@COMotorsports you just have to try one
mk4 and B5 passat is the ugliest :)
Oh... Passat I have to agree with. lol
