    actually in argentina and brazil they sell the UP pepper, wich is a low cost up gti with a 5 speed gearbox and no esp. They build then up to 180hp easily. On a small car it's quite a sleeper. From low down they're faster than any golf gti

    • @n3er0o
      @n3er0o 7 месяцев назад +12

      I've driven a stock GTI and a tuned, 90hp up that made around 110 and I have to say the 6-speed of the GTI made the car 10x better. The gears on the stock 5-speed are so incredibly long that it really bogs down the car. Great for fuel economy I guess, but the shorter gears in the GTI are a godsend for the agility of the car.

    Hey moog!
    Going from pre facelift to post facelift requires complete wiring harness in the interior aswell as the bay.
    You will also need new the facelift dash to fit the facelift radio. Both fitment AND cabus communication speed is different.
    All in all you'll need a complete harness AND almost all modules swapped over for this to work as a complete car

So nice to see you haven't ever forgotten your rots, even when working on extreme or exotic projects, you still build awesome nuggets. I BTW 100% agree! Been working on extreme projects too, but my favorite project ever was still a old Hyundai Scoupe 1,5T, final form was estimated to merely 228bhp

GTI - one of the last before they stopped selling them here - I find myself constantly stealing her car as it’s so much more fun to drive than mine - puts a huge smile on my face every time I get in the driving seat. I can’t see us ever selling the UP! - definitely a future classic.

    My sister had a Honda “Scamp” in the seventies. Driving it was a hoot. It would chirp the front wheels in first second and third on changes. It was so light I could lift a back wheel off the ground by grabbing the wheel well and standing up straight. I once got all four wheels off the ground just on the peak of a suburban street.
