I LOVE old Volkswagens. My Mum drove a Mk2 GTI when I was a kid in the 1980s. I've always wanted to get my hands on a Mk1-Mk2 GTI.

[@English_Speaking_Fox]

I’m an old Golf man. 1981 MK1 GTi and a 1987 MK2 GTi 16v. So my eyes lit up when this video arrived in my feed. Having watched it start to finish I can confidently say this build has way too much power and is an utter death trap! For a street car I can say from experience that these cars are much much more fun when swapped for a far more modest ~200bhp with a Quaiffe or similar diff and decent track-day oriented suspension. Even 250bhp is too much.A good track-day build is far more rewarding to drive without all the mental wheelspin and torque steer. Still great to see a pocket rocket like this but nah not for me.

[@sheraaaftw5073]

Driving a car with 400 horses that weights less then a ton is something completly out ot this world, I own a Mark 2 GTI from 86 stock engine 1.8 liter although it has 90 HP its still quick but this, this is something else !

[@roblet5047]

The bonnet latch where cable comes through can get stiff, when you closed the bonnet latch only half partly locked and didn’t hook right over the catch. Used to happen on 1990s vws.

[@waskus]

The windshield whipers are almost giving up😂 I love it, What a crazy build.

[@rvborgh]

My old 83 GTI had a wing on the wipers to hold it down. Unfortunately my Mk1 Cabriolet does not and the wipers would lift at abou 112 mph.

[@nathill2562]

a VW never upsets me they always give me joy

[@MrCaprinut]

How both been onbord with Capri and Escort Mk2 with YB Cosworth with 400hp. In the Capri the seats was making cracking sounds due the g forces and in the Escort it was sideways in all gears, sideways in 3rd gear with 3 people in it. The driver was an lunatic. But that is the most fun I had in cars ever. I have also driven a Mk1 Golf Cab GTI. Was a very fun car to drive. It was slightly modded. The one in the video needs new front suspension and steering parts and hood pins for sure. They never is that sloppy on the front end if everyting is good. Great video! Sketchy old cars is the most fun ones.

[@rax518]

Man you can't imagine how much i dream of owning such a car. I wish i would have the knowledge and the place to get into tuning cars over all. I should have started when i was younger. I mean i am only 29 but to go from zero to this, is a long road. My only chances would be buying one that is already customized, but thats not easy either.

These old cars are super scary on high speeds. I once did 150 km/h in my Moms 1991 Nissan Micra and it was so scary. It felt like the whole car is going to fly apart :D In my 2001 Nissan Maxima with V6 high speeds feel like it's floating on air :D At least it's somewhat stable and quiet.

[@Mike81111]

@@reality8793 I know but same with the golf. Unless it has completely different chassis it's going to be scary at higher than 150 km/h speeds.

[@gg2324]

at least it helps you keep your driving license

[@suomenpresidentti]

I have done 160km/h in a super rusty 1975 datsun 100A with a 1.2 swap. Crazy, but not as crazy as 100km/h on a Suzuki PV50 with 80cc cylinder.

[@Diftonez]

As always, perfect!!

[@atarixle]

The car needs hoodpins, aswell as the newer mirrors mostly seen on the Convertable Golf, which are adjustable from the interior (the knob actually is there I see, the Pirelli GTI aswell as some GL models were mounted on the classic Golf Mk1 too).

[@johanstoltz3263]

I love your reactions scetchy AF😂😂😂😂

[@GadgetInspektor]

I once had a rental Renault Vel Satis V6. At top speed around 235 the bonnet got ripped off a bit from the underlying frame it was glued to and catching so much force from air pressure that it slammed immediately into the windscreen. Glass splinters got accelerated through the impact with so much force that some of them were sticking in my forearms. Wouldn’t it have made sense to do the 100-200 from fifth or sixth gear? Could imagine that would’ve showed an improved time around 8 seconds.

[@longform]

The wipers and the bonnet when he floors it 😂

[@eeezee7000]

Crazy numbers for a mk1. I had an 83 gti with a 2L 16v 9a + KR cams and that was already quick enough.
