Engine and drivetrain swap, custom active lightweight package, super humble guy who drove his build like a boss, also drove from Ohio! Ya, get him a t-shirt for sure!!
Anyone who can build something this cool, this solid, this WILD!, and the dude drives like BOSS???!!! You had better not bring him on, just give him a car and build something else to donate. LOL
Absolutely one of the greatest builds ive seen here in a while i shop at ecs and saw them building it and ive finally seen it throw down props on the build guys!!!
So freaking cool to see him get such praise from you guys and community. I was there to watch the build from day one behind my desk and got a ride in it. Huge thumbs up Mike!!!
The wheel control nd the transitions are smooth! Superior handling it's like watching fresh homemade buttermilk biscuits rise in the oven elegant yet satisfying
Love it. My first vw was a mk3 gti vr6. Sequoyah green. Got it bone stock. Slammed it on coils right away. A few power adders and that thing would eat for a mild street car!!! Won against fast cars that I was totally in shock by!!! Quick little cars! Had alot of fun til my guide broke 🥺
If you could pick any front wheel drive car and turn it into a rear wheel drive party car, what would it be?!
Honda Civic
1972 Olds Toronado
My 2000 monte carlo ss
My 94 honda civc ex
Toyota Corolla hatchback

Mike is the man!
No fancy editing to make this guys run look longer or better. This man can drive, hands down.
Just some good ol shreddin'!
This thing made so much smoke.i almost threw up all over my shirt
🤣🤣🤣
*inside*
Careful with those German trumpets, the Valkyries are coming.
Arrive in Valhalla sliding in your mk3!
Why I love the m60/62 front seats to the Oprah could never go American after
😂😂
get this guy on build and battle!
Hmm...

This guy + a friend Vs Jimmy Oakes & Brain Hall in a drift build off.
I mean the mans shades match his cage, so you know the style points are in the bag already.
@@shona5512 That would be insanely good!
I like that he introduced his car first
There needs to be more rwd conversions on fwd cars. Sorry Nads it would make Honda’s way more fun 👍🏻
i was always wondering why they didnt make the EJ coupes, EM1s and integras RWD. they couldve competed with the s-chassis. such a waste of potential
In a perfect world..
Devive I always wanted a rwd Honda thays not s2k 🥺
Picture this. A eg hatch with an electric rwd/awd swap
Charlie Bennici that would be awesome
This is hand down my favourite car you've ever had on...simple, shredding, rwd, v8 mk3...whats not to like...
Absolutely one of the greatest builds ive seen here in a while i shop at ecs and saw them building it and ive finally seen it throw down props on the build guys!!!
Fab work and attention to detail on point!
Mike has been building wild quality cars for quite awhile now. Great to see him getting the recognition he deserves!! Way to go bro, keep it up!!!
Congrats Mike! We are super stoked about your talent getting the recognition it deserves! Check out more videos about Mikes M62 GTI on our channel!
Possibly my favorite car so far that has been here
So freaking cool to see him get such praise from you guys and community. I was there to watch the build from day one behind my desk and got a ride in it. Huge thumbs up Mike!!!
Build it, and they will come...
Nothing beats the sound of an old BMW V8 🙌
"For sure" - Vin 2019
I have to say that is the best V8 swapped RWD Golf I have ever seen.
VW engineers : Damn it, why didn't we do something like this?
Just make em RWD and the community will take it from there. This is a perfect example XD
This guy ran at my home track it was one of my all time favorites to feature during our fall 3 day event
James Pumphrey would love this. I mean, HE WOULD BE IN LOVE with it.
This thing is like a build from Forza. Crazy stuff
SOUNDS SOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOOD!!!!!and the smoke output -APPROVED!
All around sick build 🤙🏻 sick edit as always
Such a badass car done right, can't believe this car only has 300hp bc it's a BEAST and sounds insane!!!
HOW DOES THIS HAVE A DISLIKE
There's some sick people in this world.
@@HooniganDailyTransmission
Scotto because he wasn't there
Coz its a vw golf
Not a true motor head
@Hoonigan Daily Transmission
I drive a stage 2 12v vr6, wonder what it would be like rwd 🧐
This thing looks like it's a blast to drive! Awesome! Also -> 10:38, I think we need more foot cam.
How much power does it make...Vin needs to know 2 times,just to let everyone know!!🤦♂️😂
Gotta make sure 😅🤣
Lmao I thought that as well
But can it go from berlin to warsaw in one tank?
It can go from Palm-line to under the trailer...
@@HooniganDailyTransmission ...on the limiter
As someone who drives a black mk3 gti this really does hit home literally lol
Don’t know how anyone could not like this build
oh my gawd that thing sounds soooo GOOD!
Still even manages to sound like a VW, and it sounds SICK.
So nice seeing a car from my home track, Lake Erie Speedway, on the Hoonigan channel. Being able to see this car in person is amazing.
The wheel control nd the transitions are smooth! Superior handling it's like watching fresh homemade buttermilk biscuits rise in the oven elegant yet satisfying
must be one of the best swaps ever so sick seeing a golf doing that
Next build and battle:
Drift cars, but you have to start with a fwd platform and no LS engines.
That exhaust note is so satisfying
its so well built, it just goes and goes dang!
Video Summary:
Ron: "My body is ready.."
Pause.
My head admiring this wild creation: 🤯🤯🤯
“are we even gonna give you a t-shirt or something?”
“i would hope.. i don’t know?”
lmaoooo
Glad to see Mike being shown some love... this build is NUTS!
Love it. My first vw was a mk3 gti vr6. Sequoyah green. Got it bone stock. Slammed it on coils right away. A few power adders and that thing would eat for a mild street car!!! Won against fast cars that I was totally in shock by!!! Quick little cars! Had alot of fun til my guide broke 🥺
When you wanna do slidey boi things, but also have CELs.
Sick build. Very cool.
Lmao
I love the way it sounds 💪🏼😤
🚗💨💨💨💨
Definitely [Hoonigan] approved 👍🏼
this thing flat out screamed a savage hoon
That doesn't look right... So weird seeing a Mk3 do that
We don't think it could look any MORE right.
not only that, is also sounds odd, but it's epic tho, first Volkswagen that I would want to own.
lmao have you never heard of a golf rallye?
@@Technohonk Hahaha yeah
@@Afflictious To be honest no I haven't. Just googled it and they look awesome
love how Vin casually says "ill jump in" as though he's not dying to ride in it lol
Heck yeah! These dudes are local to me! I saw this thing at ECS Tuning a couple months ago. Super rad seeing them at the Burnyard!
Bruh handz down the best sounding golf ever!!! Vin couldn’t stop cheesin!!! Duk lovez his VWs
Sick, I just watched this on the ECS Tuning RUclips page
For real.... the RONCO shit hit me in a throwback
Been following this project on their channel. Glad to see it here.
He did what i was dreaming of for years. AWESOME!!
One sickest build I've seen in a long time ... it even crazier once u start to look under it and threw it 💨💨💨💨🔥🎥
Beyond stoked on this one. More 90’s German builds please!!!!
Well, I have seen a lot of swaps in many different platforms. But it's safe to say I've never seen this before
That car sounds more like a trombone than any other vehicle I've heard.
YES!
including ones where there was a guy playing the trombone while it was being driven.
I love how they kept it German and with a badass v8 non LS!! I wish these cars were rwd out of factory. INCREDIBLE
That m62 sounds glorious
That car is just wild af
Vin with the footwork cam, you guys should've showed more of it and more in the future. But most importantly, you gotta earn your blow out.
Loved chasing this GTI and the other ECS guys with my drone at midvale speedway, such a sick car.
That thing is dope. Sounds great and ol boy was way smooth with the sliding. Dope build.
As a 540i owner... I have never been more proud
dude has exceptional talent for building and drifting
Love an oddball build. My hat's off to the guy.
I rock a Mk 4 GTI and deep down inside I want it to be rear-wheel drive so bad. That Mk 3 is gorgeous
So when you putting a v8 in shartkart 👀
🤨
When hert or vin throws it into a container
30 seconds in and I’m PUMPED
so happy for a VW FINALLY !!!!!
dis is something you normally only see in games, and i love it!
As much as I hate ECS and never buying from them due to getting my orders wrong, and delays because of wrong info displayed, I can respect this build.
This lil thing floats effortlessly man, wish it woulda been an MK4 tho
This is the car guy that every car guy wants to be. He builds and he rips!
It's crazy how it still almost sounds like a VR6
Nice to hear a V8 that actually sounds good!
So done with the shitty sound of an LS!
Paul Wade why I could never ls swap my m60 no matter the easy power it won’t sound as good
I like how you have to clarify it is BMW V8, lol.
I read about it on IG first, I believe a year ago? Instantly fall in love with this project.
Vin's pedal cam was sick! More of that !
Hoonigan need some project like this, fwd car to drift car.
My first car was VW mk4 gti. Man I love this thing!
Skilled diy. Cool how they saved dough using BMW parts laying around
Sounds good
the ending after the credits had me dying. you guys crack me up. also an amazing build, and exhaust tone sounds superb!
These two work well together.
Love the mk4 golf, this makes me miss my gti vr6, that body line down the side is gorgeous
That V8 powered Toaster Strudel🇩🇪 went hard in the yard.
that thing looks super rowdy! Love it!
love seeing the ECS boys on here. I buy most of my mk7 golf parts from 'em. Top blokes, great driving too.
Sickest sounding V8 I've heard in a hot minute.
OHIO FOR THE WIN
We have an VW golf mk4 in sweden with rwd and v8 to. Its freaking amazing
Idk if it's because I'm high af. But the editing of the car shots along with the music was dope af. Had me trippin
I think rear wheel drive Golfs need to be a thing.
Vin in push up stance and "Loafers with the white sox" popped into my head! Hahaha
Sounds good, looks good....effin done good !!👌
Was not expecting that V8.. V6 maybe, but when he pulled the bonnet up I was pretty surprised!
That combo made it sound like it had a coyote instead of a bmw v8
i seen this on donut media and i'm glad i finally got to see it in action. it's my dream to do something like this to a toyota celica one day.
BMW powered!!! Love it not being another LS swap and something different but most of all
BMW power! The S motors like the S54 are so awesome love mine
He tore it up nasty. Spanked that limiter like red headed step child.
One of my favorite episodes to date
That thing slides so nice
One of those "It's so wrong but that makes it right" builds.
