My FIRST DRIVE in the 350BHP GTI! 

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 😂

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

I'm actually so happy for you mate, your passion shines through on all your videos! Keep it up

“It’s dangerously fast, in a good way”😂 bro I love your channel been subscribed since over a year but this build has been an amazing experience to watch!! Great job!

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.

Youve gotta line this up against the m2 do a rolling run down a38 (in Mexico) lol

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

Your Project GTI is one of the best, most interesting, real and unmissable things on RU-vid. 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.👍😀

Well done hamza, to say this is the first time u do work like this to a car, credits due to you. Keep up the good content man

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 😉

Nice one Mate well done now let Ricky @LLF have a go 👍😁👏

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 RU-vidrs who get bored after 5 mins...

This was really fun watching the build. It shows just because a car has a lot of miles, with proper attention it can still be brilliant. Thanks!

This is more my cup of tea, just watched that guy yianni, who posted "bought a 150k runaround" Cant relate to that at all, looking forward to the impreza videos

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!

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

Just got mine to about 280 300 that's enough for me , cheers for the great content your videos gave me all my ideas bruv , all the way in New Zealand :) solid channel

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!😮

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.

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!

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

Been following the project since the start. Great job hamza 👍 look forward to see what else you’ve got in store. Hearts set on a mk5 thanks to you 😊

Coudl you do a video of how much you spent in total ? how much it would cost to do such upgrade for a standard GTI

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. 👍✅💣

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!

Wow what an impressive project. You’ve acc gave me the motivation to do something similar. Well done bro keep up the hard work!

Watching videos like this makes me feel better about my decision to not sell my VW Golf GTI Mark 5 to by a Mark 6 R line. I'm about to do the 3 inch exhaust and downpipe and get a stage 2 tune done on it, I'm kind of excited about it. Awesome video, keep up the good work 🙏

Good to show it’s not just about spending loads of money. Built not bought. Keep it up!

Love all of the different whistles and tones, looks very quick!

Next mod is changing the exhaust to 2 central exhausts like the R32 Will make the car look 100x better 👍 Keep up the good work

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!

All credit to you Hamza, been following since the beginning and what a great final result!

Welcome to the Rtech club! Gower power all the way!

Enjoyed watching your transformation on the car Hamza 👍 fair play great work on the golf look forward to seeing more vids

Love the older GTI cars mate.That road is a rollercoaster 🤢😆 Nice sounds 😍

Nice!! Are you doing a body work mods? Like ed30 splitter? Upgraded Xenon headlights? Those along with a good set of lowering springs would finish it off a treat!

Been great content and I’m looking forward to seeing the handling/brakes videos

The car has gone so far in a little amount of time. From a literal shed to a performance car you actually want. Great series mate!

Sick video! At last, someone who finished a project car 😌

Slmz bro.. Sub'd your channel recently and i started watching the Mk5 Gti series, gotta say loving it and much respect to you for doing most of the work with your own hands. 👏👏💪 Keep up the good work!

Another awesome video, much more satisfying when you have done the work on the car yourself 😎

Great content as usual Hamza, it’s great to see it at this stage compared to when you 1’st bought it.

yes yes yesss not even watched it yet and liked and commented straight away... great video bro ( i presume so anyway lol )

Nice one Hamza - another top video! Excellent result on all your hard work - the car is proper badass!

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!! 😁🚙

yes mate!!!!!! TFSI POWERRRRRR

I shall give man like Hamza his 1000th Like! Big Golf lad, keep it up 💯

Rapid 😎😎😎 i like the way you look in the rear view before putting your foot down, classic😁

Love that caption at 2:08 Lets certain man sleep better in the night 😂

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 👍🏼

Really enjoying this series man

Another banger bro 👊🏾 Can you start adding all the GTI mods into the description?

Makes me miss my edition 30 I bought a V5 to replace it not as an upgrade but just for something different and cheaper so I’m not worrying about it but I’m liking the idea of a cheap high miler and doing this!

Can only imagine how satisfying it would be to see and drive your car bro, congrats 👌

Mad anything more to come a bodykit or wrap

that sponsor lmao what were they thinking?

I got a MK6 GTI DSG with 200k miles, was considering a remap but was worried it would pop the gearbox. Will see how yours performs before I get mine done.

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

Well worth the time money and effort. Good job man 👍👌

TAKE IT ON LLF LET RICKY GIVE IT A BASHING, THE MAN CAN DRIVEEEEEE

Subscribed! Remember watching your EP3 vids. Considering switching my ep3 for one of these, mapped to 280 but don’t know much about them. Nice car tho👍

Cruising around Hockley Heath and Earlswood hahaha

Best Videos still to watch .. REAL

Please do a cost breakdown

Dude drop a 0-60 vid. would be interesting to see the difference with the upgrades

Class video mate! You’ve built an unreal car 👌🏻👍🏻

Cars nuts. Smashed it man 👏🏾

Congratulations on a fantastic build. Well done 👍🏻

02:08 a nice pool of fresh oil out of the exhaust haha

That's dangerously fast.....in a good way.......good lad !

I’m so pleased for you bud. Your making me want to buy one and do the same thing.

Thanks for all the tips mk5 forever 🙏💚

You should probably install an LSD with that amount of torque

This is helping me feel positive about my k04 plans. I'm in a 211k mile FSI A3 and wasn't sure how higher mileage one run with k04 because I'm hoping at locking it in around 350 as well if I can.

No lie Hamza looks like a healthier version of Amir Khan (boxer) not to be mistaken for the actor Aamir Khan.

What a beast you have created!

Hey brother great results !!! Car is now a beast!!! of topic did you make that work bench from scratch? I’m looking to make one too But have no idea how , do you have a link to how you made it or where you bought it from ? Thanks

Epic dude. Mine's 355bhp and 410lb/ft R-Tech 2+ and it's angry and fast :D The MK5 the most fun Golf around ;)

My G. From a broke down car too a monster on roidz. Keep it up family

Do a pov on the golf

satisfying to watch😂

Maybe next video, DSG oil change :) great vid!

Hell Yeah. Have you thought about doing an auto cross event or track day? It would be cool to see how it does.

I understand the feeling, my Stage3 REVO mk7 felt violent and out of control. Dynoed 350whp with IS38 swap.

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..

Love that sound

Can't wait for the handling mods. That's really gonna set this project off.

well done bro, its not ur happy, (obvs) lol, you are PROUD off what u have done with your own hands, once u start its such a feeling when complete, I'm on my 3rd mk5 doing nearly every thing u have done currently at 178k, added u on ur gram, we can link them up off cam lol

Have you got a list of everything you’ve done to this car? Love it man!

Sounds awesome mate 👌

Bro, do a video at the end of the project for total costs?

Good effort Hamza, it's come along.

Put it up against a stock s3 rs3 or even golf r it will be amazing to see this ones performance

At 5:30 ur face with tht smile tells it all lol..

I was buzzing off that vid, mate. That looks fun, sounds fruity, to. 👊

You should start to get exterior parts for it like a mad wing for it.

Great work bro 👍🏻

My buddy's K04 GTI was a good match for my FBO Mazdaspeed3, my car was still a bit quicker but it made it so he could run mustangs and SS's a bit easier.

Could you maybe post in the description of this all the upgraded parts required to make this happen? I've got the same car at stage 2 and I'm interested in learning what I can do next. Thanks!

Great Build Hamza. Sounds much better and brutal! You wanna put it up with my M140i lol....it'll probably leave me lol.
