In this video I wanted to tackle the boring, lack lustre driving characteristics of the #vw mk8 #golfr #build by upgrading multiple parts of the car including bigger brakes all round, new suspension and new wheels and tyres.

That interior is the best mod! Amazing workmanship, nice to see you get involved also

@mikehunt3668 Год назад

Mate, the car looks sick. Glad to see your channel growing, keep at it. Great content to watch

@Lorenzo-pg4cn Год назад

That dashboard looks next level! Fair play😍

@_LuisS Год назад

My oh my.. I love big brakes and these are something else. Calipers are honestly gorgeous. 😊😍

@Nob0dy420 Год назад

Wheel Finesse smashed that fair play!

@markhouston3404 Год назад

2 wires to rear caliper. Apply 12v one way itll retract, 12v the other way and itll wind out.

@MrBulletBulletBullet Год назад

So glad you changed those callipers, think it’s criminal that VW don’t at least equip them with 4 pots.

@VimyScout Год назад

Just the new wheels alone make all the difference, so much better 👌👍

@stephengraham6194 Год назад

That looks sick lad, love the new brakes and wheels, dash board looks like something that cost in excess of £100k. Top drawer as per usual!

@Wheelfinesse Год назад

😎❤

@LawrenceTutty Год назад

That's made it look loads better! The wheels and little drop in height makes all the difference. Top work fella 👍

@hxrxxn_ Год назад

chris u need a downpipe and exhaust from milltek for this

@craigmorgan4676 Год назад

Agreed 👍 brother, will b a beast!👊👌🦾🦾🦾

@brucerudge3404 Год назад

DSG fart time

@hxrxxn_ Год назад

@@brucerudge3404 millteks the best option its better then everyone else by miles

@Kingdonnerkebab Год назад

No Akrapovic is better.

@hxrxxn_ Год назад

no akropovic sounds good but its not loud if u hear them both ull understand plus u cant get akra , the only way u can get it is by speccing it when buying the car brand new@@Kingdonnerkebab

I tried to watch other RU-vidrs rebuilding cars even those having millions subscribers and building supercars but It doesn't seems interesting for me. Yours content is what I really love to watch. Great job and keep doing Bro

@roscopeco2000 Год назад

looks good, my only worry is if my car stops that quick it gives the car behind less time to stop.

@DarrenEgan Год назад

I would buy this as a daily. Dash cover is a mega upgrade too 👌

@cobhcking 11 месяцев назад

Those calipers and disks are eye candy ! 🔥🤤

@gerrymctominay4093 Год назад

New brake Discs, callipers are sick!! Car looks minted with new Wheels and love the new Alcantara dash n Steering wheel 👍🏻😉👊🏻

@borismkhwanazi583 Год назад

Awesome work Chris South Africa is watching as always salute

@stephenboodle4555 Год назад

Chris, it's really coming together..those brakes....bet they weren't cheap..nice wheel colour and design 👌👌💪

@channelwhywhywhy Год назад

BRAKE PORN!! 🤣 Awesome work Chris! Looks great, functions even better!

@themightythreefamily6658 Год назад

Drove past the Golf on the way home… it looks amazing great job Chris 😃

@Butnumnum Год назад

Love your work on this one up until the dash , even before the sun baked it I saw wrinkles lol, grave error here but the rest I love

@nlocnil3602 Год назад

Didn't know you had a channel until your SVR roadtrip vid came to my recommendations today. Subbed and going through all the cars

@ianswann2792 Год назад

Chris, great video. Car’s looking fab! Can’t believe the difference in braking distance! Keep up the good work.

@mqbr22 Год назад

I was gonna get those wheels for my R but got some O.Z Ultraleggeras instead. Great video

@cliffwright1970 Год назад

The wheels and stance make all the difference. Off piste Q: what Garage flooring have you got in your workshop please?

@DIGGER-D12 Год назад

Awesome video mate. I have really enjoyed watching this car take shape from crash damage to this beautiful Golf R, be great to see what the next mods will be 👍

@martinsherred8302 Год назад

Great quality of work done Chris,simply 👌

@V12BHP Год назад

New discs and pads means those brakes will be even more savage once everything has bedded in. Car looks sick!

@xaviersainson Год назад

Bravo ! Can’t wait for the performance upgrade. What about a Mat Armstrong & Chris Slix video ? Would love to see you guys build up a crashed damaged car together !

@gavingg4761 Год назад

This is litrally matt off wish 😂

@Frikandellensaus Год назад

Golf starting to look amazing. All it needs now is a performance exhaust

@n1allm Год назад

Not sure on the Golf R but master cylinder and ABS pump need bleeding on most VAG's with a calliper swap. Easy to do the ABS pump with ObdEleven 👍

@belfastladd28 Год назад

Nice nice the top mount is the last part to unbolt ,makes easier removal chris , ps your a naughty boy not cleaning those hubs before fitting the new discs 😂, looks awesome buddy

@kings3803 Год назад

Another banging video. That brake and suspension kit is amazing 👏 I would have definitely had to have some quite time with them before I fitted them 😂

@SAVING_ICONIC_MACHINES Год назад

Yes Chris, hope you are well ❤ now let’s get into the video

@gt197 Год назад

Those brakes are sick Chris..good job👍🏻

@blondeboi Год назад

Looks sick! Yep, It definitely needs a good remap at mallory performance now 😉

@cavggs2809 Год назад

Looking good and the r badge on the wing is finally back on, honestly this car is cold 🥶😮‍💨

@ThatBMWrider Год назад

Looking good, much better with all this mods

@darrensutton3793 Год назад

Sick motor and perfect mods!!

@AdrianoHunter1981 Год назад

Loving all ur videos and thing about doing some crash damage cars just need some coaching ❤❤❤

@matthewjones3915 Год назад

What a transformation, I know lots of people have done golf R’s but yours definitely stands above the rest 👌at the (oem+) level. mostly because of the sad interiors that golf’s have but now yours with the dash wrap transforms it and it makes a massive difference. Can’t wait to see the next project ❤ just not like mats McLaren 😂 ✌️❤

@connor45rm85 Год назад

Chris you didn't orientate the front top mounts, there is a tap that has to be facing a certain direction or the camber caster is off. You may of by accident located them correctly but chances are they are wrong and your alignment will be out. When you get the alignment redone the caster will be incorrect and the car won't drive properly.

@stevek7461 Год назад

Enjoyed your Golf R vids, especially brake upgrades. Do you have a link for the footrest, id like to get one. Thanks

@johnrowell942 Год назад

Nice upgrades and not sure why you did the brake test. As you changed the wheel size and new tyres. Plus, bigger brakes, so will be100% better over the old set of brakes and tyres.

@Wheelfinesse Год назад

🌶️Spicy🌶️

@vincentyerkess7230 Год назад

Youre funny Chris. Little comments and chuckles. Great content, keep it up

@x58evo2puma7 Год назад

@jamest5149 Год назад

Your dog sounds like mine when talking…exactly the same ‘dog accent’ 😂

@yamangalongwe7419 Год назад

Wish I could have the Golf 8 R rims since you'll nolonger be using them

@AmirKhan-ol4ph Год назад

Crazy improvement 💪👍👍

@mattsbeamer Год назад

When you put on your Manscaped T-Shirt and started talking about having new shiny nuts, I thought you were going to do an advert 😅

@mattcoates_83 Год назад

Looks really good Chris! 👍🏻

@ianjenkins4641 Год назад

Nice, the dog matches the dash

@The_detailers_disco3 Год назад

Interior is missing the Racingline airbag stickers for the passenger sun visor 👌🏻 gets rid of those big white warning stickers!

@kennethseabo3220 Год назад

Man those dashboard upgrade is sick,.

@OcdetailingCardiff Год назад

been looking forward to this one! Nice 1 Chris

@bluesky4733 Год назад

Great video again Chris but you need to move your seat forwards looks like your peering over steering wheel your that far back

@IGRAFF09 Год назад

Love OBD11, literally today. I used it to retro fit/code a bunch of cool features for my Audi. Although what dose the throttle response adaptation actually do? Dose it just keep the throttle in dynamic mode no matter what mode u r in? Or will it actually change the response in all modes? Therefore, it is slightly better still when the car is in dynamic/ sport setting?

@joemcdermott7311 Год назад

Love watching Matt Armstrong 2.0 no but for real he’s actually gangsta and cars are on the ⬆️

@jamescasson4227 Год назад

Looks so much better, I had a mk7.5 R and didn't fancy an 8 because they were too bland. Should have looked liked this from factory 👌

@eduardocandeias7533 Год назад

You have to increase the area of the tires contacting the ground in order to get better braking, not the brakes themselves.

@Turkish-xd7xi Год назад

I'm interested in buying it when your finished with it.

@SamMonareng6081 Год назад

Great work Chris ❤

@audiopower69 Год назад

Chris... did you know if you put the screw driver on the disc before the caliper you would torque the studs way easier 😅

@brian7369 Год назад

Loved that Chris ! 👍🏻

@robert07787183 Год назад

Fantastic video. Well done mate

@NateFoster-g1o 11 месяцев назад

Ok 2 questions. When bleeding the brakes why didn’t you start with the calliper furthest away from the servo? And did you use weight plates when adjusting the suspension??

@JohnWickOG 11 месяцев назад

Great Wheel Choice!

@nanganang7766 Год назад

Nice one Chris! looks mint

@redrosevisuals Год назад

Looking forward to the tune unless you flip which would make sense or do a giveaway

@dannyjamiecross5816 Год назад

What about the anti roll bars are you going to upgrade those, poly bushes etc? Wheels and brakes 100%

@MrStubacker Год назад

Amazing car

@jaredkruger4563 Год назад

Time for a new project Mr Chris🕺

@deanbrown2015 Год назад

Looks awesome mate, gold wheels would’ve looked fucking quality!

@wbcapitals Год назад

Dude you need to clean the rust off the wheel hubs before fitting a new brake disc to prevent shuddering and to do a cleaner job!

@h0wudo1n Год назад

what you doing with the old brakes ?

@alastairdalton4855 Год назад

Wicked video Chris but defo needs to be a touch louder

@tedvegas5586 3 месяца назад

Hi Chris did you sell the old front calipers ? Someone stole my R plates from my front calipers . I've been looking for a replacement set for months.

@Rik_D Год назад

How does this OBD tool effect warranty? as if you've got a BMW and change features like that, you will have to buy a new ECU before they touch your car again.
