Resurrecting RingTracktor! MODS Overkill!!

[@bdrakman]

Wow, every shop you go to in Germany is clean with mechanics that look like they know exactly what they're doing.

[@rafael6769]

I mean its the ring area i guess it figures

[@hunterprey5338]

as a mechanic u need a licence. not everyone can open a shop here.

[@berniehf]

I want to retire in Nurburg....

[@imnota]

It's a fancy area, where there's only nice shops. But don't get fooled and think that mechanics are better in Germany than everywhere else, they have their fair share of hacks too.

[@MrTchou]

0:08 : Cold starting a diesel, you may wait for the preheat light to go out before turning the key.

[@mryopa89]

Hhahaha no like for u. Bullseye comment

[@seb1989]

Was incredible watching the mechanics; they are so skilled it's amazing. You can tell they love what they do!

[@d3vilfish80]

„Jo“ - Misha officially German now

[@MT-eb2dx]

Jep!

[@JohannesB5]

Jo

[@SebastienAudeon]

The adidas striped steering wheel speaks to my core.

[@RobertMitchell]

I can’t wait to race this in June in the 24 hours of Nuerburgring!

[@jerico140]

Same same. I can't wait either to be part of the pitcrew. See you there. TIER ONE raceteam

[@Tristan.R.J.M]

Big if true

[@davidsmall7676]

Misha, I am almost certain the RingTracktor might finish !!!!

[@kyleb5518]

It will use the same premise as the le mans TDI, he will simply do 5l/100km and not need to fuel up as often

[@UnitedKingdomRC]

I hope Misha will race the 24hr one day! Also, I'm excited to see your using stoptech, I have them in my integra, fairly expensive, but WOW they are brilliant!

[@wallymcguire2033]

This is why I bring a lot of stuff into the shop now. With the right tools and enough practice, a weeks worth of work for me gets reduced down to a few hours. You just need to find some guys you can trust. Great work.

[@terot8341]

7:25 in the bin!!!

[@aukanmeister]

The click of a correctly adjusted torque wrench, just when you get that tiny bit of stretch in the bolt.. Mmm😏 Warm and fuzzy...

[@the_mcmartin]

Proper garage content with professional mecs. Love it!

[@CDhunt]

That Fabian guy is a beast at working efficiently! Great video 👏✌️

[@Kenny407]

Those subframes and suspension components need some sand blasting and paint!

[@mgcharoudin]

Yes

[@evaork3746]

Its a tracktor... they can have a litle rust👍😉

[@JohanH1990]

Good job with the TT front suspension, lots better then the stock setup. Great updates

[@TINTIN7070]

Thank you Micha for your expertise and analysis, no-nonsense technical explanations and simple staight to the point wordings ! Love your Channel (And Robert's too....) Take care of yourself !

[@fernando1018]

Happy for you Misha! Looks amazing

[@guypascua8848]

That's a spoiled puppy! Cute! Ring Tractor looks fun to work on. How funny that parts seen harder to get in Germany than the USA for a German car.

[@laytonb7]

Also luv that high end cars are sounding more like the neighbors old pickup...

[@konstantin88181]

0:01 for a moment I was completely shure it is pizza....xD

[@VaBraAnton]

Finally an video of the tractor. Been waiting for this! So excited to see what you can build out of an affordable car!

[@RDxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

workplace ASMR, love it

[@superfejmus]

Misha, you should wait till glow plugs light turn off ;)

[@ValladolidArde]

omg loved this, the steering wheel looks ace!!! all the other mods are serious biz, cant wait to hear the new engine come to life

[@enriqueprslja6531]

Uuuuu the moment i've been waiting for the past few weeks has come 😍

[@howtorepairpendulumclocks]

Me too, pizza. Great guys. They do everything! Good to see this end of car prep too! Thanks for sharing.

[@rodbrown8306]

Those guys are so special at their craft, clever guys.

[@hamzasherazi9334]

Hell yeah. So satisfying to watch all the components going in. Pumped for the further upgrades and updates.

[@TheTechnoaddict]

Finally! Always look forward to progress on the tractor!

[@simonhaycocks]

Powerflex bushing sure does make a difference to subframes. I did yellows on my E92 a few years ago. The good thing is obviously more control, no more rear 'torque steer' and they're easier to fit, the down side is i get resonance noise at certain RPM's. For this reason and because it's a road car i'm going to fit stock M3 bushes this year which are solid rubber without the voids of non ///M cars. The lesson i've learnt is poly bushing is great for track cars where NVH doesn't matter but for a road car just stick with good quality new rubber bushings.

[@Xappt]

Those black bushings for the front with the adjustabel camber are awesome! Gotta get some of these!

[@Xappt]

Oh well. Lockend at the pricetag. Thats far of what i can afford :/... By the way. Wahre do I get the solide Sterling mount? Thanks a lot!

[@faisalleeds]

Looking really good Misha! The guys have done a great job so far.

[@danoontjeh123]

Nice to have a bit of look at the bushings, I'm replacing mine (VW Bora) for some purple ones in a few weeks :)

[@rjnation5042]

It's back, so happy for you, can't wait for the new motor to be installed, the little beast of yours is just such a fun idea, Rj in Oz

[@davidofford7002]

Every day, really great, Misha.

[@Richard_Turner]

This was very wholesome! I've got the TT that's I've spent so much on but currently enjoying refreshing my mums corsa although I'm not allowed to modify it 🤣

[@dmfd123]

BEST VID EVER!! So satisfying to see those new parts installed.

[@kyleshawyer6126]

Love to book a trip to come and see you guys

[@christoskonstantatos3030]

Poseidon!!! The Greek God of the sea. All you need now Misha is Zeus exhaust and Hercules tyres. Chris the Greek

[@mishaN7]

Damn, these guys don't fuck around. Putting in work!

[@motamark]

Love that the Ringtractor has a towbar so you hookup a trailer of hay on way home.

[@Goxilla]

This gave me some ASMR vibes

[@evaork3746]

Big horses need upgrades and big brakes... nicely done👍

[@jhill92]

This video gave me ptsd from the time when I upgraded the brakes on my '99 Passat a couple of years back. Had to cut off the rear wheel bearings because the bolts were just multiple layers of rust. Also updated to braided brake lines. The connection from the body to the rear axle is rubber pressed on a solid line. I had to order the solid lines in the right length and bend them myself. Ended up doing everything from the abs block to the wheels. What I had planned to be a weekend job turned into a multiple weeks nightmare. But the brakes turned out nice and I learned a ton from it.

[@zknarc]

Can relate to this pain

[@jemmett50]

Great to see it getting nearer to funtime 👍👌

[@flippy9133]

Ive been waiting for this for so long! finally!

[@edwinpostma0640]

A big like for the french bull at the end😍😍

[@humblepie9373]

Oh yeah baby this is what we're talking about .. Best build going on .. on the Green Hell 👍

[@Clarkyclarke1]

Great vid as always Misha!👌🏻🤟🏻

[@NurBurG_N3RD]

Blasting volbeat like a champ!

[@berniehf]

Morning Misha,, cheers from sunny Costa Rica

[@davidsmall7676]

RingTracktor Phase II BEGINS!! So looking forward to the updates and first drive

[@RyanQuattroS1]

so glad you went slotted only rotors. have seen to many slotted and dotted crack after just road use nvm race use.

[@quicknickdriver8510]

Wow your Golf gonna drive so nicely when all is done, can’t wait for the finished article!

[@richardallsop5039]

Hello 'Misha', you have some true mechanics (not technicians) working on your Golf, great to watch. Regards, RichardA.

[@Banana-Joe007]

Good Video and nice steering wheel👌 ✌😉

[@Pedro5antos_]

Great! Great! Quality build for a quality driver

[@CarlMCL]

Good choice of steering wheel!

[@MikkoRantalainen]

0:07 When the instrument cluster flickers like this while you're starting a TDI engine, you can be sure that it's time to replace the battery.

[@RobinZibell]

11:31 that’s your abs and esp cable 😅 nothing where brake fluid goes thru ✌️ POsaidon... like the Name ☺️ Nice to see the upgrades getting back in it (the next one)

[@Pyotr_Velikiy]

The green G looks sweet!

[@crs_r32]

MK4 content doesn't gets old. I love it! I also own an MK4 R32 and will never sell it.

[@MrE30]

Evening Misha, it’s coming along nicely

[@shanescarlife]

Been waiting on this!

[@MrSon-of6mm]

Mega toll Arbeit! Ich möchte ihn bald auf dem Ring sehen👍👍

[@vladimirklepic8638]

That was the best food shot ever! :D Gentle and hungry little frenchie :)

[@lollypop9580]

Nice Posseidon ad. 👌

[@romeodogg]

So this was basically what I did with my Mk5 Golf R36, but with Superpro bushes instead 🤘🏾

[@NippyMoto]

I actually want to see as much ring tractor content as possible

[@brewce69]

Getting 80's MTV flashbacks hearing some of the music in the background.

[@kawoutster]

I really love the colour of your car!!🥰🥰

[@sandrosilvatopogolfgtiegti2969]

Top demais o tratamento que o galfao merece top..

[@jaseleese7549]

So much want for the Ring tractor 😍😍😍😍

[@matgee8892]

Food shot with Dog? That is some 10/10 tier 1 awesome right there.

[@ginescostaa]

Hey Misha one question, how are the black bushings on the road?

[@motojojo_]

Aww, now I have to step up my game on my shit box. Great Ringtracktor update 👍

[@votblindub]

YES! Love me some Ringtacktor updates!

[@tocsa120ls]

Mighty Apex Mods :D

[@paulkrapp]

Thanks for the mechanical content! 👍

[@maxvonk4132]

So nice to see the tracktor is back on the road again. I have a similar one in the same colour. I do have some questions: -Why did you go for a diesel and not for a 1.8T or 2.3 V5? -Also what wheels do you have on it? are those 17 or 18 inch? Keep it up Boris !

[@MrCukydoh]

because 1.9Tdi...

[@badboymorales]

Omg thats a 67 /68 mustang. Thats my dream car. Ahhhhhrrrr

[@marcnobel3938]

Great! Let the games begin! I like the tracksuit mod on the steering wheel. The details are important. I am excited to see more of that!

[@Zygersaf]

Oh man, id love to have this kind of refresh on my e92, just do coilovers and new bushings and put m3 control arms on all at once!

[@Mark__A]

Getting as good as my Volvo. Almost :)

[@AR-qr9eo]

Yess

[@martinchapman2168]

Good video

[@MacheteK]

Good comment

[@lillyalriachy3357]

Good morning Carmrades! Nice to see the Ringtraktor back

[@jonathanpalmer155]

Those old rear disks would nicely replace my Polo's rear drums - if only you knew someone from Yorkshire who could bring them over when he comes back home to reset his accent...

[@ramsey6253]

Great video

[@_Archambaud]

😃good mechanic technicians

[@MikkoRantalainen]

8:00 Working with cars with rust, the tear down is always the hard part. I've fixed parts where getting one part off without breaking nearby parts took 4 hours.

[@baronbunni4689]

2:03 that wheel may look good with the ringtracktor

[@ThisiscoolGAMES]

New glasses Misha? 😯 Either way nice frames

[@mgcharoudin]

Same old

[@RMcarphotography]

Nice Balanced and tempo edit.

[@VonB3]

Love the editing, now time for R32 front sides and rear lol.

[@mgcharoudin]

And front

[@snape1464]

Love to finally see it come together. But which brand of brake lines are you using? I'm looking for my own project

[@mgcharoudin]

Stoptech front that came with the BBK and rear was Fischer Stahlflex

[@snape1464]

@@mgcharoudin thanks! This way I’m sure I’ll get it through inspection

[@birgerg]

Isn't braided lines an MOT failiure? reason beeing it's not possible to inspect the condition of the rubber inside.. It is here in Norway, other rules in Germany?

[@justar6865]

Nice

[@sonof4pc]

tt225 calipers, discs and pads. Is nice alternative to new.

[@okristijan1989]

Yea finaly 😀

[@gavanphotography7814]

Do any of the buttons work on the steering wheel? Cruise control, radio etc?

[@frankvermeulen4621]

Those mods are sexy AF! Can't wait for the video about the engine being replaced! :-)
