Volkswagen Golf GTI Mk2 1.8T - What's It Like To Drive? ON TRACK

[@davidmooney9662]

Was not expecting this, but delighted to see it all the same! 🇩🇪

[@jordanmiles4898]

Would be good to have a lap timer on screen since you do the same circuits often with different cars, be interesting to see how they stack up against each other

[@SinsAscendant]

Also, maybe how hard you have to work for different chassis to make up the time. My Mk2 20v is a handful, but it's rewarding when you get it right. Almost 400hp, Yet I'd say anyone in a stock EP3 could be faster than me around Cadwell within a day. For sure!

[@dannyDC2]

Ist verboten unfortunately

[@PinkGuy120]

That thing looked plenty fast even if you we're being careful with it! Love seeing cars like these being driven no matter what

[@TheBrokenMountainBiker]

I've had 4 different MK2 gti's in the past. 3 8v and 1 16v, I always wanted one with the 2l ABF conversion. Had a MK2 Ibiza cupra with an ABF and it's such a wicked engine.

[@roskataqv]

Ibiza ABF ftw!

[@Gofast1234]

Hopefully see you at trackday , you can have a crack at my peugeot 205 kswapped ✌️

[@cedriccope178]

My dad had one of these when he was stationed in Germany I remember he haul ass everywhere in it.

[@autochap4745]

Amazing - these 20vt engines have lots of potential for serious power! I own a VR6 swapped Mk2, just because of the noise ❤

[@TheEdition1]

oyeah, that's the best engine sound for me. There is a tuned 8V in my GTI and it sounds a bit like VR. But driving a VR6 in my MK2 Golf will remain a dream because of the rules in Austria. Only a 20% increase in performance as a series performance is permitted 😭

[@quicknickdriver8510]

Nicely turned out car, respectfully driven

[@alackofspeed]

I helped a friend build a 1.8t MK2 and later a Corrado. Really good fun to drive, especially on track - they take people by surprise! 🙂

[@JakeRawSon]

yes they do 😉

Cracking car, great noise from the thing too. Pity (but totally understandable) that these are so expensive/rare now especially down here in NZ. They look like a heap of fun!

[@theeeMitchi]

What a cool car. Great video!

[@chriswilkinson1991]

Now that’s a cool car. I like the original style seat fabric on the Brides

[@peteyscarantics9047]

nice to see you trying out a mk2 golf 1.8t conversion looked fast in a straight line they are fun on track once you get used to them 😲 the mk 2 iv'e got is powered by a 180 bhp abf it's really good fun on the road and on track 👌keep these type of videos coming danny 💪👍

[@dannyDC2]

Not a huge fan of them no

[@ziorxkomtuper]

love the japan inspired styling good video. Mk2 always were one of my favourites

[@ramarakeshv]

nice and quick

[@Chris_Lastname]

I remember when these were in the hot hatch fight, up against the xr2, xr3, nova Sr, astra gte, 205 gti, Renault 5 turbo, and several others. Cool cars at the time

[@ribbo1]

Looks well put together that

[@TABRO284]

It looks so good.

[@ashleygentle6501]

Lovely car.

[@DavesInHisGarage]

First "legal" car was a mk2 1.3c possibly the most basic spec with all blue interior bar dash and centre console, was a proper shed like and if you slammed the door to hard you left golden rust on the floor lol

[@SinsAscendant]

YESSS! I was waiting to see you at a track day at Donny to let you rip in mine 😅 White 5 door, big brakes. GTX28. Pedalbox is a strange layout. I also heel and toe off the side of my foot. And the throttle pedal flat out touches the inner wheel arch! 😅

[@dannyDC2]

Cool cars

[@pete6891]

pulling hard from down low XD

[@user-qz8sv7fp1q]

🔥🔥👍😎gti2❤️

[@jamesmcclaren6534]

I had a mk2 driver 1.6 with a gti kit on and ronald turbo alloys it looked mint I miss the old girl then I got a mk3 gti 2.0 8v then a mk5 gti edition 30 now I drive a Audi 😢😂

[@MrSluby]

Bit confusing why it has VR6 written all over then has a 20v turbo though

[@dannyDC2]

was originally a VR6

[@blu73]

how tall are you Danny, you never look that tall on camera but you do seem to be taller than alot of people you stand next to

[@dannyDC2]

5ft 7.5

[@blu73]

@@dannyDC2 not tall then, you must just have long legs boyo.. that or the golfs owner is 4ft 2? lol

[@georgivasilev9895]

Get a Clio mk3 on the Chanel you will like them - and compare it to ep3

[@petermundy3696]

I am tempted to let him rag mine. I hang out at Oulton pk, Blyton park and Anglesey.

[@dannyDC2]

That’s some spread

[@nogoodenick]

Zee Germans are coming!!!

[@jm-wm6hx]

whats the end song from?

[@petermundy3696]

I get the impression, Do You @DannyDC2 not like AR1s? what do others think? I like them in the winter (they are soft and warm up fast), but I have not yet tried them in the summer. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

[@dannyDC2]

Not a huge fan

[@markythegreat]

They can be fussy about pressures - but £ for £ (especially in smaller sizes) I don’t know what comes close for a road legal tyre tbh. I’ve even used them in a thunderstorm at brands and they still gripped. Also never driven a car that hasn’t overheated something else before a set of AR1s

[@dannyDC2]

@@markythegreat you should try Yokohama A052 or AD09 for something better. I find AR1 really inconsistent and they are a funny price Cheaper than the premium stuff, but more expensive than the cheap stuff. So mid range? But you only get a few heat cycles out of them until they are done. They are a tyre that barely has any tread but you'll be throwing them away before they're spent due to the lack of grip I'd choose something like an Accelera over them if I was on a budget

[@phillheth]

I had a 2 door 8v in atlas grey when. I was like 22 or something. One of the best cars I ever had. Gutted I ever got rid of it.

[@UnitedKingdomRC]

Why is reverse there 🤔

[@dannyDC2]

To go backwards

[@rickmorrty51]

This doesn't look like a Honda o.o

[@DSEC_UK]

Gran turismo music? ~1m?

[@oscarzt1652]

diesel rev gauge lol

[@garybocking4541]

Does say it used to have a VR6 guess thaats why the rev counter looks wrong

[@mariogocars]

my least favourite track. How do you like it?

[@D4NDC]

Dan has been pretty open about his love for Cadwell... Most think it's a great track so you might be in the minority

[@abc123732]

Have you driven it ?

[@dannyDC2]

It’s one of the best

[@andyhbo86]

Best track in the country!

[@Mark_Meisho_Thompson]

Love a mk2 golf ❤ I’ve messaged you on insta about driving the cayman 👍
