My FIRST DRIVE in the 350BHP GTI!

Believe me, its much faster than I thought. Maybe its the sketchy brakes and suspension lol. Enjoy

You guys know I’ve driven a lot of cars. But I don’t know why, the ‘350bhp’ in this car just feels violently fast. It’s so hard to explain 😂

[@Jovahkiiin]

There is only one thing to explain it mate. It's called gower power.

[@BRED510]

How does it compare to your M2?

[@BLX187]

Put a few 100 miles on it and you'll get used to it

[@woody555kl]

Workbench setup got you looking like a pro 👍👍

[@uzairahmed810]

TR Hamza your car is a madness ❤️👌💨💨

[@Haykosify]

You need to race this against your M2 lol, only 15bhp difference could be interesting

[@marveysingh8157]

Sebastian shvane Stabonkity definitely not

[@DazzzTube]

Sebastian shvane Stabonkity Marvy couldn’t even reply, you hit him with the facts.

[@brucewayne2397]

Sebastian shvane Stabonkity and then a basic remap and decat puts the M140i at 450+ hp and does 100-200 in the 7’s

[@brucewayne2397]

Sebastian shvane Stabonkity ah I see what you mean but it takes a fair old bit to get 350 on the mk5, I had a mk5 back about a decade back and I think I got something like 280 ish from stage 2 map, decat and filter, was nippy for what it was but that’s as far as I wanted to go with it back then as traction was a bit silly by that point. Car was eating coil packs like biscuits I remember.

[@cameronboot6722]

@@brucewayne2397 Also depends on the GTI. I have a Pirelli edition and with no bolt ons just a remap I'm pulling about 300hp comfortably. One of the main VAG guys in my area is pulling well over 400hp out of pirelli editions and ed30s

Thank you mate! Glad you like the content

[@fatwalletboy2]

Must feel way more epic than an R or S3. Hot hatches ahould have a bit of wheelspin ! All part of the thrill and feel of speed.

Yeah way more fun 👌🏼 Those cars are too 'good' if you know what I mean.

True, man. When my Golf R Haldex failed, it was so damned fun bahaha wheel spin like mad 😅

"That's dangerously fast, in a good way" - You are totally insane! I like it.

[@hassannaqvi4512]

Hamza credit to you as you haven't given up and are doing all the things you said you would including getting your hands dirty. This car has surprised me also for real, better than I imagined it could be with relatively straight forward bolt ons. Let's see how it handles the abuse 😉

[@TRHamza]

Appreciated man thank you, it really has come a long way. I’ve learnt a lot, very enjoyable process.

[@neilwatson5864]

Your Project GTI is one of the best, most interesting, real and unmissable things on KZbin. Great for enthusiasts of all ages and pocket sizes. Really well done, thanks so much. How about Project early Audi S3. Or anything will be good.👍😀

[@jgwm3574]

Sensible doing the full works on the car rather than just going for power. Thanks for covering this whole process in such detail!

[@AN-ur8qe]

I've watched your videos for a while now mate! Channel has stepped up a level and this is a sick build! Appreciate how you have sourced used and new parts with budget in mind and getting 350 bhp! Doing work on your own aswell is never easy! Keep pushing the channel like you have done mate!

[@TRHamza]

Thank you mate! Yeah I’ve loved the response this type of content has been getting. Was a risk as I’m new to car DIY, but really have enjoyed the learning experience!

[@beauwasiak8617]

GTI's are actually THE BEST! The performance, value for money and driving enjoyment are just unbeatable... In Australia right now, these MK5 GTI's DSG are selling for no more than $8000 (that's with the crazy 2nd hand market too) - awesome cars!

[@joshwattonS2000]

Good man, glad you are happy with it. At least you've carried out the Project like you said you would and produced a great result unlike alot of other KZbinrs who get bored after 5 mins...

[@jonclark25]

Mines on 95k and I think sometimes may be I'm ragging the old golfy too much on stock power but this 200k 350bhp shows how much life these little units have in them! Interesting to take a look at suspension next as this is my upcoming job to do, racing line springs and dampers or do coilovers justify the cost!

[@chrisrobinson7395]

Fair play to you! Finally an English KZbinr who’s completed a project or is nearly there. We haven’t had to wait a year for updates either. Credit due 👏

[@TRHamza]

Thank you mate!

[@chrisrobinson7395]

TR Hamza How much was it for the k04, along with all the other parts to bring it to 360?

[@johnhayne]

Best sounding Mark 5 GTI! Sounds awesome regardless of the type of car. This playlist may become my Mark 5 GTI guide. Don't steer me wrong!😮

[@Mikeytdi]

Good video and you look happy with the car. Nikki and Rtech took my Scirocco R to stage 2+ earlier this year and achieved 380bhp and 436lbft. 👍✅💣

Hamza this cars needs to hit 300,000 miles in your ownership see how far you can push it I have never been so locked on a project but this. Mate I'm literally trying to sell my car o get a Mk5 now, although it might just be 350 bhp it's more the fact this car was 2 bags and has 200,000 it's mental I love it.

[@GoWstingray]

If I could double like I would! Well done mate. Been following since the start, so jealous I’d love this on my A3 2.0T Quattro! Nice job!

Could you do a price breakdown of your build once it is complete? Looking to go down similar route in near future. Quality content too 👍🏼

It feels so fast because it’s raw uncontrolled power, stock brakes and springs give you are scared but exciting feeling, puts you on the edge!! 😁🚙

[@jasonjay7650]

You always feel better knowing that r-tech have done the deed on your car. Personally i would only buy a car that was mapped by them..

[@Bashirbros]

You should probably install an LSD with that amount of torque

[@hapjoy16]

Agree without LSD it is basically a wheel spinning waste to have that much power FWD no LSD.

Man, i've been subscribed to your content since you bought that GTI, i'm also driving one, same generation as yours (stock). Driving it for some 18 months now and i still love it. It's fun around the corners, sounds good and i like how it looks. I never thought there would be need for some upgrades, it seemed powerful enough, and more importantly - it handles amazingly. Now, after following your progress with GTI, and especially after watching this video and your reaction to it, i'm really close to go for upgrades. Keep up with great content, hopefully your channel grows even more, it would be well deserved. Greetings from Serbia, cheers #datnoise
