I will be here everyday!

[@dukenukem5135]

What type of heat shield are you using on the bonnet?

[@kylereese4822]

Oh i wonder if a flipped small rear Tesla motor would fit in the back - seen a Tesla in the front of that model Golf... or maybe the i-pace motor as they are like a barrel with shafts at each end no diff hanging of the side like the Tesla design...

[@kingcrack4422]

I will appreciate with all my heart if anyone could assist me with my hard last years... Thank you friends ❤️❤️ gogetfunding.com/epilepsystoppedmylife/

[@kamdynavi173]

i dont mean to be off topic but does anyone know a trick to get back into an Instagram account?? I stupidly forgot my account password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me

[@markbrown2296]

If this showed up your recommended videos we are now friends!

Hi

Yo

[@piddy4136]

:) glad to meet you

[@BarakaGitari]

hallo

[@lamborghiniowen]

This rwd conversion is an ultimate question I've been having for sooooo many years. Finally someone got to actually do it. This video really made my day 😂.

[@pnwgentleman]

So 500 HP through a clutch-plate to get the HP to the rear? Come on, bring in a welder to weld those shafts together!

[@Martin-xb2rz]

Take another diff

[@nitsuabro9463]

THIS IS WHAT I NEEDED

[@zoransoce]

I don't think that haldex cluch will hold up all that power, but it will be interasting to see.

[@Jacobwlane]

I did LOADS of research on this about a year ago - I *was* gonna say it should all work but the haldex clutch isn't all that strong so there's a chance it'll burn up pretty quick but then I saw you welded it anyway in later videos, absolutely love it 😂

[@Roderickdl]

2:28 Bees didn't live there. That's a wasp's nest. Love to see how this turns out.

[@dramchaser1022]

Bob “the builder”: Can you build it!!! ShopDap: Yes, we can!!!

[@Deutscheautoparts]

Maybe we can 😜

[@Kiss__Kiss]

Dropping videos on the Daily? Heck YES!!!!!

[@johnwanamaker358]

This was fun to watch! Down and dirty... can't wait until the next video.

[@parametricproductions2152]

The car scene needs more crazy builds like this. Trendsetters indeed.

[@thebaddestogre-3698]

Check out my buddies rwd v8 scion tc. Haha. Hes crazy. His channel is moddedgarage.

[@That-guy0801]

It actually doesnt seem that expensive to do either

[@FRITZI999]

Something like this was done in 1995 in a Volkswagen CORRADO .... so nothing "crazy" Bro! Just because it's NOW on the Internet doesn't mean it is something new or crazy.

[@aaronthew6134]

the balance between knowing and not knowing what you're doing is great!!!

[@miguelchaves8518]

whenever there are crazy dudes taking a fwd car and turning it into a rwd, it means I 'll go for the like button without thinking twice...

[@Jude3e]

You guys never cease to amaze me with your work ethic and video quality

[@andrewlace]

It's like watching a bad car crash and yet I cannot look away. Keep the content coming.

[@moseskimotho6618]

Idk what I did to find these guys but I thank the KZbin gods

[@jons6125]

Literally searched for information on haldex swaps last week hardly any info on KZbin till now!

[@Supermaschinist12]

Never came across your channel before. Just clicked on this video and subscribed after just 17sec. Amazing!

[@MotorHeadTech]

I'm doing a B9 A4 quattro spec conversion on my B8.5 A4 FWD CVT in Jan 2021. Basically I'm putting the DSG, quattro drivetrain & EA888 Gen 3 2.0t 252hp 2018 A4 parts in my 2013 A4 might even do a manual swap since I have a full donor B9 A4 car! I can't wait to see your process as it may indeed help me out with mine! More of the work & progress of my build is in my channel.

[@fredygump5578]

Everyone knows that if you want to remove an old rusty part, you just put your head under it...THEN it magically comes loose!

[@Coleyouknow]

I wonder how the trans is going to hold aswell as the rear diff clutch. But I guess yall will find out. :)

[@oliverdavidpatrick]

Hey guys.. I'm from Germany.. now living in Ireland.. anyway Google aka KZbin AI suggested me this video and I like your content so I left a like and subscribed. I am advanced, so if youtube vids dumb things down too much I get bored quickly as it wastes my time, which I have to say is not the case with your content. So good work guys, you are fun! BTW I'd like to mention the elefant in the room: Me being German I am aware that the world is still nuts about German cars, why, I do not know. Especially in recent years they are not known to be the most reliable and also not well engineered. My father was big in the tire business and had huge contracts with Audi, but regularly went to business meetings in a Honda Accord. The smurfs at Audi did not like. That said, since Mighty Car Mods I do understand them GTI's are very popular in the English speaking world. Nuff said for now

[@fastboatster]

Great project idea, I’d say you’ll need to replace the trunk floor in the gti with r32 floor to make the rear diff fit.

[@zyankali2357]

Wow . You Block R32 Front and now you have a rwd...

[@kerashlallchander]

Bruh. This is Adam LZ energy type beat. It’s epic

[@KillDizzy]

I’VE ONLY JUST FOUND YOU GUYS!!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 bravo 🎉 you love to see it! Excellent content and men after my own heart. KZbin just got interesting again! Love it chaps

[@Danthuyer]

New to your channel and looking forward to this RWD golf series! Greetings from down under

[@HDynasty]

Success or not, this is gonna be a f*ckin awesome series

[@8gti9]

Omg I love projects!!! Side note: the guy with the glasses looks like Ed Sheeran!

[@Atrociousa3]

Converted my fwd A3 to awd. Was a pain doing it on jackstands. I’m sure you guys are more knowledgeable than me but for anyone else doing the swap, if you have a spare r32 parts car, also swap the abs pump and esp sensor. The 02q can be converted to awd. Easiest way is to get an awd lsd and bolt it to the oem ring gear. You’ll need the proper seal 02q409189 and obviously the bevel box to connect the drive shaft to.

[@cjdoc77]

Did you have modify the brake lines in anyway? What coding did you have to do? Do you have Instagram? I’m looking to do the same to my GTI so I have some questions.

[@TheCompyshop]

Wow! Good luck guys

[@rossbowman202]

Heck yeah. This is going to be a great series.

[@choosewisely7410]

I literally enjoyed watching this My 1st car was a mk5 golf tdi manual My 2nd was a mk6 golf tdi dsg

[@NikosDIY]

Where was youtube hiding this gems for so long???

[@ZakiGarage]

Awesome!! Been dreaming of doing such a monstrosity for years ❤️

[@benjaminharrah4558]

First ten second “while that seems like a simple task” haha right simple is what I first thought lol that thing is going to be sick

[@markplenty2631]

This video is making my weekend melt away! Thanks for the interesting content!

[@WreckedRevival]

I'd thought about doing this quite a bit when I had my GTI and my ultimate decision was to not do it because of the costs involved with needing to purchase multiple vehicles, messing with haldex, possibly needing a syvecs standalone etc. The difficulty of the engineering and fabrication aside, a mid engine RWD GTI would imo be a much cooler and possibly less of a headache on the electronics side but obviously quite a bit more fab work and plumbing.

[@dantem306]

littt, ill be here every day until its done!

[@EliteMotorWorksFL]

This is awesome! I always wanted to try a conversation like this. Glad to see you’re taking it on

[@yuopa.]

JP Performance, a german tuner and car personality, has also built an all wheel drive 1.8t with around 400hp. Super cool project!

[@chrisrutherford3862]

Yep building a four-wheel-drive a 1992 Corrado G60. One year in and not done but sit on its wheel!!!! Spec Bmw rear beam Z3 widebody, Audi tt 6-speed box, Tiguan Haldex 4 gen diff and custom prop, Custom front driveshafts Last bit is the Haldex Controller Heaps of work Will be good to see your build good on ya

[@BaruKz]

I've got one but the edition 30 it's nice to watch the project. I really curious to watch all the episodes. The ambient is funny and relaxed. Nice work

[@gearheadgaming1537]

I was thinking of this yesterday amazing you are doing it

[@08alexcoolboy]

I have done this on a first gen Leon 4x4 1.8t, the car will work and drive even on stock haldex controller without front shafts mounted.

[@matthewstyer5587]

So chuffed I found this! Brilliant!

[@RobertNeaguOfficial]

That steering wheel it's like a dream for me!

[@chefboyardee8278]

Drive it in reverse. Boom. Rwd golf

[@chefboyardee8278]

@Kuzuri Kam Sure it is. You've also managed to make the golf rear engined now that youre driving it backwards

[@chefboyardee8278]

@Kuzuri Kam Yes tho

[@HeliRy]

It was always my dream to convert a Corrado into a RWD beast

[@axelljungqvist]

0:23 "VW has only produced fwd and awd cars", Beetle is rwd

[@martinultimatevw3779]

I see Deutsche, RWD, Swap, GTI... lets give these guys a go.. and it was good 🤘💯 gonna watch the rest. Thanks

[@VehicleSensation]

This was so nice to watch, keep it up

[@joshuam7552]

Yes!! Excited to watch this project!

[@kevina4674]

This is my dream! Wish they would make them like this from factory! Love my bigger turbo jetta... just not the front wheel drive. Ground is wet. I do nothing but burnouts at every light and every turn! A lot easier to control a rear slip then holding onto the wheel for your life!

[@szweiser]

the monty python reference has now made me a forever follower

[@stacks_producer]

This is soo sick 😂 still love these mk5's

[@donnys2965]

This is so cool, cant wait to see if the awd system will handle burnouts and some drifts.

[@donnys2965]

cut awayyyyy

[@aroundomaha]

I was waiting for someone to bring out a torch to remove the gas tank... perfectly suitable KZbin entertainment.

[@johnquiles426]

I'm excited for the results

[@carnutal3627]

Very interesting video for an armchair tech really enjoyed it. And I am NOT MAD AT YOU FOR CUTTING THE O2 SENSOR. :)

[@BickfordsRs3]

Luv it! Haven't seen anyone do this yet, great idea fellas

[@thedumbapple2339]

This is a very cool project!! ShopDAP is awesome! Side note: Please stock more routine maintenance products for 1.4T!

[@Deutscheautoparts]

We are working on this now

[@derschwarzgeist]

The thing I'm wondering about is how well that clutch pack in the Haldex is going to hold up to 2-4+ times the amount of torque it normally would need to. I wonder if it'd be possible to make a solid coupler shaft that takes the place of the clutch and connects the propshaft directly to the pinion gear driving the differential. Or adapt a rear diff from a Subaru or other car.

[@TheMatadrum]

It's one of the mods in Forza, of course you can! :'D

[@johnmoser2689]

Great job guys I really enjoyed this keep it going I'll be back for more

[@carlmcrobcustomgoldsmith11]

This is awesome! Next .... could you do a rear mount rwd new beetle? Should be a breeze:)

[@shona5512]

Holy shit yes, thank you. I need this for my MK5

[@chrisr4815]

The leak detection pump is to check for evap leaks. Not fuel. It's part of the emissions system.

[@Deutscheautoparts]

Evaporative emissions are fuel vapors, this system does ensure the gas tank isnt leaking hydrocarbons into the atmosphere. PS we know its not supposed to keep your car from blowing up. Its a joke.

[@azfarmci]

keep it up! i think this build would be a big hit (whether or not, it turns out as planned) because i thought about such project before

[@WeirdWabbit]

Commenting for the algorithm and subscribing for the fun.

[@aurellagarde1607]

Thanks guys. Making a dream reality👍

[@roomtempcoffee]

There wasn't enough sawzall used in the removal of that gas filler neck

[@meteormedia7021]

AWD > RWD, so why not make the GTI AWD instead?

[@HaloInR3v3rs3]

Haldex isn't designed to be engaged full time. Few MK4 R32 guys found out the hard way burning up the clutch in it. As that was a Gen1 system in the MK4, let's hope the Gen2 system can handle it, or you have a few Haldex parts laying around and are going to get very proficient at changing stuff out.

[@tompeterson3210]

New subscriber and I’m already hooked on this build!👍👍

[@eppyz]

what would have been really awesome to see??? You fixing the R32 😎👍

[@TheNelson456]

Nice to see that this guy built his GTI and then parked it for years.

[@schmeebo8753]

awesome video cant wait for the next!

[@1neer5op99]

Lol these dudes wilding 🤣 the r-Kelly joke😂

[@drwatson1234]

You guys seem intimated by the concept of making things easier by pulling out the most useful body tool - the ANGLE GRINDER!

[@MrPhilipp4u]

Exited about this project! You should definitely save the Radio. They're rare here in Europe. Best wishes

[@thomascooper6155]

When it comes to slavaging parts from crashed cars a Sawzall is your best friend.

[@frshtrds]

Appreciate the effort, y’all’s skills are AMAZING, however they do sell rear wheel drive VWs, they are called Porsche’s

[@aimless3827]

I love this channel better than those Reddit losers that answer something liked "you better buy rear-wheel drive in the first place" my car waiting for my knowledge to convert it.

[@shredmonster76]

As someone who is about to make an appointment for a vasectomy, the pain in Paul's face when he says "my balls" is terrifying. This should be an amazing series, I always dreamed of doing this to my mk5.

[@Workaholic248]

What a minute....🤭4:12😳EFFF NOO😭 btw you guys are awesome for doing this 👏🏽😎

[@littleAZN248]

This reminds me of the APR SuperBeetle project. It’ll be nice to see what it takes to get this done!

[@ibramguirguis]

I've done this project to my Mitsubishi evolution 1,4 1998 and transformed to Rally art Evo 4. You will have to cut somewhere in the back to place the differential. Good luck

[@mixedboi]

Awesome video guys, but no joke, I think that engine will manage to kiss the valves even without the belt snapping

[@Hexagular]

Say I wanted a transversal inline fwd engine to be rwd, would that be possible?

[@sj501]

Monty python reference earned you a subscriber, bravo

[@j.m.5995]

Those used O2 Sensors actually have some value. You can take the Male electrical Terminals out of the Housing and turn into Good Electrical probes for diagnostic Purposes. Those Male terminals are the same corresponding size as most of the Female electrical Connectors on the rest of the Car, at least on my Mk3. The Remaining wire makes for High quality elctrical Hookup wire that can be used a numerous different Ways. I ve Wire up many a thing using salvaged wiring from old O2 Sensors.. The sensor probes and the plastic connector housings i havent found a use for

[@mtn0freek]

yes!! looking forward to this

[@pudermcgavin4462]

Rule 1 of dealing with a damaged donor, rip and tear rip and tear just cut what you can to get the parts you need

[@xxtrengt8871]

Great job guys !

[@MrVeryfrost]

MK5 is not disgusting. MK5 is the most pretty model of all Golfs.

[@austinregister990]

As someone who has converted my Mk6 GTI to AWD/fauxwheeldrive, I know the struggle. Gas tank: sucks. Subframe: sucks. Cutting the trunk: sucks. Evap system: sucks

[@shichae]

Paul: I’ll just move that out of the way 😆🤣😂

[@tfuntoy]

This is a very interesting project

[@koensteen]

thumbs up let's go! Curious to see how it goes.
