Mk2 Golf GTI ITB 16v Track day - Compomotive Trackstar wheels + semis slicks 🔥

[@andykrose1]

That MK1 white Golf is my old car. It started life as a 1997 1600 Chico. Using the same block Dave Ingle did the bottom end,which went to 2.0l pistons and 1800 crank so basically 1847cc on DICE throttles on a MK4 golf crossflow head. Wayne Rosso built the motor... a friend bought it from me,and did the RLine kit and cage.

[@lowdl]

@@andykrose1 It sounds fantastic! Revs up so well. What power did you guys end up getting out of that setup? The R line kit looks good. Not something you see on track cars often.

[@andykrose1]

@@lowdl ja for sure,but Greg who did it is pretty pedantic about detail. J think the last dyno was at 130kw odd. It pulled very strong. Like all sorted golfs,a LSD would make a world of difference.

[@lowdl]

@@andykrose1 That really good power from a 1850cc 8v 👏🏽 Hopefully we'll get to dice at some point. Should be fun. 💪🏽

[@teamphashash]

That's such a retro look with the Compomotives. I love it.

[@lowdl]

@@teamphashash glad you like it 💪🏽

[@raytheron]

Great stuff! So nice to see some great looking Golfs, and I haven't seen footage of Killarney race track for so long! Brought back many memories. I also love seeing the much loved CT roads from your point of view. Dankie!

[@lowdl]

@@raytheron that's really good to hear. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@marvinpetersen5037]

That mk1 is money. 1.32 is excellent progress

[@lowdl]

@@marvinpetersen5037 That Mk1 is 👌🏽 The driver was playing with me. But I'm thankful, he pushed me. I needed that.

[@marvinpetersen5037]

@@lowdl I saw he slowed down then used you as a benchmark so to speak. But great driving. Might not feel that great to you but there’s big progress since your first track day. Where’s Leah though? We miss the boosted goodness.

[@imtiyazdreyer1426]

Excellent stuff Mr Lakay.... Well bladdy done on such an excellent achievement of 1:32!! 3s better is massively good sir.. That mk1 owner should be proud of his car too, great driving from the both of you. Thank you for the effort you place into your content, it literally shows! Onwards and upwards 👏👏👏👏

[@lowdl]

Much appreciated. I'm very happy with a 32. The Mk1 owner hasn't brought that car out for 8 years or hasn't raced it in GTI challenge in that time or something along those lines. Pity he killed a gearbox but he made my day. That car is rapid.

[@gino4tune]

Great video! Look forward to it every Wednesday night with supper.

[@lowdl]

@@gino4tune great to hear. It was a little later this week, tried 7pm instead of 6. Will see if that makes a difference with the views.

Intense session with that Mk1 was insane...even i had sweaty palms 😂😂, love the vid!

[@lowdl]

Glad you enjoyed it! That dice with the Mk1 was mad. Such a rush. 😬

[@carltonisaacs5369]

The wheels actually look sick! White on white would have worked. Even Gunmetal Grey would look sick with the blue Comp stickers. A thought.

[@lowdl]

It's basically gun metal now after all that brake dust 😂

[@carltonisaacs5369]

@lowdl figured it would be 🤣 Love the video. Literally want to build a car to track. This looks like so much fun

[@tristanbam3951]

Wheels look awesome bud. Was good bumping into you at the track. Never know if guys are open to that. The weather wasnt the greatest but the cars were flying.

[@lowdl]

@@tristanbam3951 Thank you. And good bumping into you. I'm always open to meeting people. Nice to be able to put faces to the names I see in my comments section 😅 the weather was better than expected, what wasn't good was the amount of delays and red flagged sessions. 🙈

[@harlfonzogoodman187]

Love the new wheels!!!!! Caps will make it Pop!

[@lowdl]

I'm looking forward to the caps. I hope it finishes it off nicely.

[@mpe6678]

That wheels look the part, it had to be white though. Good going there by the way, you times are great. 👌

[@lowdl]

@@mpe6678 I'm going to have then redone in white. It seems like the clear didn't set well enough so the brake dust won't come out. Lol. Good excuse to have then redone. And thank you 💪🏽

[@CapeRoadsPOV]

Nicely done on the new PB! Was hoping we’d get a good lead/follow in that session but traffic said no 🥲 P.S. Compomotives need to stay!

[@lowdl]

Thank you. I really wanted to follow you, I would have gone quicker for sure. Following your lines would have helped me big time. But hopefully we can make it happen at the next track day. 🙏🏽 The Comps are staying but a few days ago I was dead set on putting them in storage 😂

[@mister_isaacs]

The new wheels look better. Loved the battles with the mk1 and corsa

[@lowdl]

@@mister_isaacs Those battles were really good. Hopefully we'll have many more. And glad you like the wheels. 💪🏽

[@lowdl]

@@jaenvarney413 White would have been so good. Maybe at some stage I'll give it a shot. Glad you enjoyed the video 🙌🏽

@@chadbenjamin8118 Thanks Chad. Really appreciate that. Glad you enjoyed it 🙌🏽

[@ashlynabrahams4683]

White mk1 sat with you for a bit .. love the vid🎉

[@lowdl]

White Mk1 was lonely on his own and wanted someone to play with. 😂 He could have easily pulled away from me. I needed that push 💪🏽

[@Grantve]

Nice improvement. You are still shifting the steering and moving your hands thru turn 2 & 5. You don’t need so much steering input as you creating more under steer. Keep going!

[@lowdl]

So don't shuffle? 3 & 9 to the point where my arms X is better than what I'm currently doing?

[@Grantve]

@@lowdlcorrect, never shuffle as you don’t know where your wheels are pointing. If you enter the corner correctly and find the apex, you need to open the steering as quickly as you can on exit and should never have to cross your arms.

[@Grantve]

@@lowdldo a search for GTi Challenge Killarney and watch the in car shots from some of the top guys, their hands never move. When I trained drivers it’s the first thing I would look for. You have some good habits and you are not over aggressive, which is always better to work with. Keep going Bud, you will only get better!

[@lowdl]

@@Grantve I hear you. But when I watch guys like Clint Rennard and Shane Du Toit for example, they shuffle. Not nearly as much as I do but a shuffle is a shuffle. And they don't open up the wheel quickly either. Their cars are generally stepping out after they apex so they open up the wheel to straighten up. But when it's not sliding, they will hold an angle until they've used the full width of the track and then open up. I'm not invalidating what you're saying, but I needed a little more than "Never do this and do that because I said so" if you know what I mean. Please share some videos of guys going around Killarney that you think is perfect and I'd love to watch it. 💪🏽 Time stamp moments as well, that will be helpful.

[@Grantve]

@@lowdl yeah I wish I had some videos of my days at Killarney in GTI Challenge to share, but it was long before Social media. The key is the turn in, using the back to help turn the car, finding the apex with little steering input and then feeding in the accelerator whilst opening the steering as quick as you can and using the whole track. Once you see the apex after turn in, start looking at the exit. Just try a couple laps like that without shuffling and you will surprise yourself

[@keeganbishop-p3o]

I think the new rim should havea gunmetal or antricide coulour ....the spoke rim looked better and gave a better look

[@lowdl]

Okay cool.

[@2zzgenation461]

He's a legend. And seems like he knows what he's doing when it comes to straightening wheels 😎

@@imaadcajee The next Killarney one is in December 🥲 Glad you like the wheels. They are growing on me for sure.
