Which MK4 R32 is Better? | Owner Spotlight!

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 ส.ค. 2022
- While we were at WITW last April, we saw an amazing Offroad, Lifted, and modded MKIV R32. We went up and asked Patrick about his crazy Country R build; it turned out he had two R32's! He also had a Silver Supercharged R32 with many beautiful custom fabbed parts! We knew we had to schedule an Owner Spotlight so he could show us both of his builds!

That car absolutely is not ruined at all that is amazing it is literally an off-roader nothing is as cool as that
Agreed. Everybody else is doing the same old thing - this is something different. I like it!
Like Golf 2 Offroad Edition
At first the title of the vid threw me off as I thought the off road version was a totally car.
It was gonna be scrap but he made use for it.
Ruined for sure
Speechless... what a piece of home garage engeneering
Why do you care so much about what this man does with one of his two mk4 r32’s?
@@ccc17219 I dont understand you mate
I care because it is an amazing piece of engineering, it took him a lot of work, research, development, trial and error; lots of money, time and bad words (I bet).
I am amazed about the result and am thankful to DAP for sharing the story with us
@@jamdc2000 my apologies man, I misunderstood, thought you were talking negatively of his build. I think I meant to reply that to a different comment. I agree with you, I think it’s an awesome feat of homebrew engineering 🍻
Better than being a parts car! Gave it a new life. Love the build and respect the drive.
This R32 it's the best VW 4x4 sound ever. Amazing work done!! The next thing must be a new interior according the rest of the car. Congratulations!!!
This man is a LEGEND! I love his honesty, and all the work he put in.
I don’t think he ruined it. I’ve been waiting to see someone do this to a Mk4 golf. Such a dope platform. And the guy just seems cool
That's excellent! Honestly, the AWD system in these cars is a lot better suited toward being a fun 'soft roader' than it is a some tarmac rally monster. I love this!
?
There are people putting 800+ hp through this awd system (haldex).
@@neilwalker8686 I never said anything about it's ability to take power. It's a very cool system. But, It lacks a real center diff, so it will never handle in the way something like an Integrale, Celica GT4, or EVO or something with true AWD system. That's why you see people putting 800 hp through them and drag racing.
@@neilwalker8686 Its still a FWD + RWD system and wont handle as well as an AWD system with a center diff.
@@xXYannuschXx there are a ton of variables to that statement. Open diffs, and non-variable locking centers will absolutely corner worse than a haldex with front and rear limited slip diffs.
I had a mk7 all trac, that has the newer version of haldex that is supposed to fix all the shortfalls of the system in the r32. But it still wasn't anything like my dad's Subarus. It works seamlessly in loose conditions but it still handled like a fwd car in the dry.
Love this guy, so happy and humble. This is how you should live. Enjoy life!
Awesome owner with plenty to say and explain. Would have a beer with for sure.
This dude is awesome, I bought a Vr from him a couple years back. I'm gonna have to ride up to wookies with him next year.
That off-road R32 is pretty damn sweet! Keep up the great content! That VR6 engine sound is pure bliss!
The dyno footage is at my shop vl performance. Was great to see both cars in person. Thanks for letting me take a spin in the silver r32
MK4 Golf R32 Country
Masterpiece
Looks like a blast
👌😂👌
That's a Rally R32 imo, which is AWESOME!
My buddy bought a MK4 R32 new back in the day. I was so jealous! The upside, he use to ask me to drive it cuz I was awlays a gear head, car junkie use to speed. He was always slightly nervous to push it to its limit. I ended up building a MK3 Jetta VR6. Was never as fast as his R32, and wasn't all wheel. But it was on nuespeed coilovers and, 17" Koenig wheels, Pirelli tires..It skated along side the R32 in the corners. Miss the VDUB days. I remember the R32 was only biilled at 240bhp, but I think it was one of those gentlemen agreement deals to underrate them..Probably some tax breaks or something. Felt more like 300BHP. Rant over!
You do you man👍
Id be drawn to the supercharged r32. Love that instant throttle response 😍. But the belt constant belt shredding would drive me nuts. Nice work on both rides 👏
I drive my b5 a4/s4 cel to cel myself. Its a vw/audi thing. You get accustomed to it. You actually start to believe its normal, lol. Im currently 95% rebuilding my b5 a4 1.8 stroker. Suspension will be only used part. About 10k mi on that. Hopping for some reliability after that.... at least 50k, but 100k would be better. Keep on wrenching 🍻 and enjoy your rides. We have maybe 10 yrs of possible daily drivability with ICE 😪
I drive a relatively low 24v VRT. Dude, the lifted one is fucking awesome. AWD, And it was already trashed? Good build
I still don't know "etiquette" on commenting on older videos on TH-cam despite having been here for years and years, but just wanted to say
I absolutely love the MK2 Golf Country tribute of sorts, I've loved those since I spotted one at a local car show here in Norway, and I'm an avid supporter of being able to build your cars as you like, albeit within limits, as in make sure you're not customizing a mint condition rare model, as I feel there should exist at least one stock form model just for preservation so to speak.
The MK4 R32 is not super rare, and the fact he even went as far as doing it to basically a parts car that'd never see the road again in it's original form, is basically the optimal way to make builds like this, and I love it! I'd go as far as saying he basically saved a MK4 R32 from becoming nails, and via making tribute to the MK2 Golf Country no less, I feel the MK2 Golf Country is oddly rare though, I've seen one once, so at least not common in Norway, I see a lot more BMW E28 Touring around than I see MK2 Golf Country, and BMW never made a E28 Touring ( they were built by Schulz in Germany. )
Modern VW Golf Country with a wonderful sonorous track
Man that lifted r32 is amazing
I occasionally see his R32/Country running around Lexington Ky. It defiantly catches your eyes and sounds great. Wasn't aware he had a normal R32 as well.
I'm loving these build features. Keep it up! 👍
was smiling the whole video. incredible! respect the build.
Sounds like she was always meant to be churning through some mud awesome build
Had a MK4 R32 in Deep Blue Pearl that's the best color VW has put out in my opinion. But I would take the Reflex Silver one in a heart beat! Nice save on the Black Magic Pearl R32. Lost my R32 to a flood and insurance didn't want to fix it put alot of blood, sweat and tears in the build in time I had her wish I still did.
Awesome work man!
That lifted r32 is sic af bro. Hope you have tons of fun in that thing
Couple really sick builds!! Hard to go wrong with ANYTHING VR. The lifted one is perfectly executed for homage to the golf country, plus its like one on steroids with that drivetrain, long travel coilover/ sway disconnects and some badass looking skid plates/ bash bumpers/ spare tire carrier. 😎 I love the BBS CH and the wrinkle black charge piping/ catch can/ reservoirs, etc. I do a lot of the same 'stealthy' looking stuff, as I think it looks best. The bay looks great and being a fab guy myself I can appreciate all the custom work for sure!😀 They both look like a blast to drive and 300+ AWHP is more than enough to get you into trouble 😉 Thank you very much for sharing these! 😁👍👍💪✌
What an awesome sound! Droooool! Both cars are amazing!
Best content this year!
This man has MADE IT in life.
Both look and sounds great! Never saw these around when I lived in KY... My cousin had a Golf Country when those were new. Cool car. Needs a road trip to Silver Lake sand dunes up in Michigan!
DUDE! BADASS! So cool
Absolutely awesome
Considering that this was a salvage title, I would say you saved this R32.
Much respect. The silver R32 is drop dead gorgeous. Good job sir.
Love em both!
Golf II Country is ą very special car to me. That was the very first car i drove in my life the mk4 version you have is class build respect
I like how clean you done it offroad looks good not overkill
This is amazing!
Cool to see a couple awesome builds like this that are kind of close by, Kentucky is only about 45 mins away from me..25-30 with a little spirited driving lol.
Both cars are super cool with a nice story!
Awesome build!
This is sick! I’ve always wanted to make a Mk6 Golf Country with a TDI engine.
This is awesome!
You Sir, have the best of both worlds...off roading R32 and a street R32. Both are beautiful!
YOOoooo that engine bay is clean af and that turbo /lonely island engaged
That car has what a lot of prettier, show type cars will never have, character. And that’s why we love em. Nice build dude. Thanks for sharing.
Love em bro. Sweet build from 1 vdub man to another. I'm 41 that all I've owned mk1 mk2 mk3 mk4
My kinda people.
Great stuff man.
These cars are amazing. Love to hear more about his '74 Super. I, too, have s '74 Super
Wild. I love it.
Both cars are awesome
Dude! I love every single Second from this Video, Gold, Awesome! Greetings from Germany and R32 Owner. Only one Solution (Air Intake) from you grinding my Gears: Why the F you dont simple use Map-Pressure on ME 7.1.1 with hole new Mapping behind and instead you use the Original MAF and make the longest Way from your Vortech all over Asia two times around the World to your Drivers-Side. THIS is just Stupid, BUT the other 15 Minutes (so basically 98% of the Time) your Content is pure legit platinum MK4R32 Shiiiiit and we love it, you make 4 man over 35yo very very happy with this. Best Regards
Dude....YES!
Dude is a absolute lad
Not ruined. It’s pretty sick. Reminds me of those tiny SUV’s from the 80’s & 90’s but with actual juevos.
I loved my Mk4 R32, wish I hadn't sold it..
How cool !!
Fire. If you're enjoying it, it's not ruined at all.
I love both cars! 😁
wonderful build , im jealous would love it for a beater
Excessively bad ass video
I love it actually.
Not anything I would do personally but I like the effort put into this 4x4 build. 👍
The silver, supercharged R32 is more my style. 😎
Wow man, you do great jobs..
That country is outstanding 👏
This is sick
Awesomesauce!
i love this build, i wanna drive it!
omg i love the black one youve made my day thanks
This is amazing
I totally dig both cars
Dude that is badass is badass
I love the wheels on the street R32. Both are sweet cars. R32 has been my dream car since 2004. I bought my GTI in 05 and can’t justify a R32 yet. I’ll probably just AWD and big turbo because the price is crazy on R’s. Owner has a great attitude and glad to see him on the drivers side of things.
must be a blast in the dunes
Oh, Yeah!!!
What a build 😂🔥
I'm building a VW Caddy with this concept. It's gonna look sick
Looks great to me :) and a lot of fun..
This is the coolest car I've ever seen.
Love left hand drive R32
I fucking love this and I'm not even into off road shit too much
The 5th wheel spare is amazing for this
love it.
That is just rad
First, I will say this is effing awesome! BUT, the suspension does look soft/bouncy. My jeep setup is stiff but smooth. Takes major bumps like a prerunner truck while other vehicles are bouncing all over. You did alot of things I wouod desire adding to my MK4 FWD TDI Golf
I feel like I have to add this; I am not knocking anything you did. Looks great and seems to perform well!
That thing rips
R32 Country is amazing
Wow didnt know black magic pearl was not commen in the us, in germany like every 3rd mk4 is that black..
great, now i need a rally r32
My god
I need that offroad r32 ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Patrick is a mad scientist and one of the nicest human beings in existence.
Modern golf 4x4 is awesome!!!!!
a modern country golf. nice.
Nice shirt!
I LOVE IT SOOOOOOOO MUUUUCH
Love Country remake. Maybe use that grey thing for parts? ;)
MASTER !!👍🤝👏
You should check out SCCA rally cross
MK4 Golf Country! :D
