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.

chris u need a downpipe and exhaust from milltek for this
Agreed 👍 brother, will b a beast!👊👌🦾🦾🦾
DSG fart time
@@brucerudge3404 millteks the best option its better then everyone else by miles
No Akrapovic is better.
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
🌶️Spicy🌶️
Wheel Finesse smashed that fair play!
That dashboard looks next level! Fair play😍
2 wires to rear caliper. Apply 12v one way itll retract, 12v the other way and itll wind out.
That interior is the best mod! Amazing workmanship, nice to see you get involved also
So glad you changed those callipers, think it’s criminal that VW don’t at least equip them with 4 pots.
Mate, the car looks sick. Glad to see your channel growing, keep at it. Great content to watch
I tried to watch other RUclipsrs 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
That's made it look loads better! The wheels and little drop in height makes all the difference. Top work fella 👍
My oh my..
I love big brakes and these are something else. Calipers are honestly gorgeous. 😊😍
Just the new wheels alone make all the difference, so much better 👌👍
Awesome work Chris South Africa is watching as always salute
Those calipers and disks are eye candy ! 🔥🤤
Didn't know you had a channel until your SVR roadtrip vid came to my recommendations today. Subbed and going through all the cars
New brake Discs, callipers are sick!! Car looks minted with new Wheels and love the new Alcantara dash n Steering wheel 👍🏻😉👊🏻
I would buy this as a daily. Dash cover is a mega upgrade too 👌
Drove past the Golf on the way home… it looks amazing great job Chris 😃
Chris, great video. Car’s looking fab! Can’t believe the difference in braking distance! Keep up the good work.
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 👍
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!
😎❤
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.
Chris, it's really coming together..those brakes....bet they weren't cheap..nice wheel colour and design 👌👌💪
BRAKE PORN!! 🤣 Awesome work Chris! Looks great, functions even better!
Looks sick! Yep, It definitely needs a good remap at mallory performance now 😉
Golf starting to look amazing. All it needs now is a performance exhaust
Great quality of work done Chris,simply 👌
I was gonna get those wheels for my R but got some O.Z Ultraleggeras instead. Great video
looks good, my only worry is if my car stops that quick it gives the car behind less time to stop.
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 😂
New discs and pads means those brakes will be even more savage once everything has bedded in. Car looks sick!
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
Crazy improvement 💪👍👍
Those brakes are sick Chris..good job👍🏻
Legend, the car looks sick now
Looking good and the r badge on the wing is finally back on, honestly this car is cold 🥶😮💨
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 👍
The wheels and stance make all the difference.
Off piste Q: what Garage flooring have you got in your workshop please?
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
Yes Chris, hope you are well ❤ now let’s get into the video
Youre funny Chris. Little comments and chuckles. Great content, keep it up
Sick motor and perfect mods!!
Done amazing job on that keep the good work going
Love watching Matt Armstrong 2.0 no but for real he’s actually gangsta and cars are on the ⬆️
Looks really good Chris! 👍🏻
Great restoration, and car looks the D Bs. 👍👍👍👍
Great video again Chris but you need to move your seat forwards looks like your peering over steering wheel your that far back
Man those dashboard upgrade is sick,.
Looking good, much better with all this mods
Nice, the dog matches the dash
Loving all ur videos and thing about doing some crash damage cars just need some coaching ❤❤❤
Car looks well now Chris👌
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 😂 ✌️❤
Interior is missing the Racingline airbag stickers for the passenger sun visor 👌🏻 gets rid of those big white warning stickers!
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.
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 !
This is litrally matt off wish 😂
Great choice of wheel Chris
If you put a clamp on the line, you won’t lose all the fluid
Chris... did you know if you put the screw driver on the disc before the caliper you would torque the studs way easier 😅
You have to increase the area of the tires contacting the ground in order to get better braking, not the brakes themselves.
Enjoyed your Golf R vids, especially brake upgrades. Do you have a link for the footrest, id like to get one. Thanks
Great work Chris ❤
been looking forward to this one! Nice 1 Chris
Nice one Chris! looks mint
Loved that Chris ! 👍🏻
Great Wheel Choice!
Wish I could have the Golf 8 R rims since you'll nolonger be using them
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?
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 👌
Fantastic video. Well done mate
Looking forward to the tune unless you flip which would make sense or do a giveaway
Even the dog is colour matched to the car 😂
I'm interested in buying it when your finished with it.
Looking sweet mate 👌🏽
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??
Your dog sounds like mine when talking…exactly the same ‘dog accent’ 😂
Killer, keep it up champ.
Time for a new project Mr Chris🕺
Damn, bought an OBDeleven for my golf R the day before this video came out 😅. Oh well.
I dunno if you mentioned it but what brakes discs are on the front
What about the anti roll bars are you going to upgrade those, poly bushes etc? Wheels and brakes 100%
Already scraped the splitter Chris 😢😢😂 8:02
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!
Wicked video Chris but defo needs to be a touch louder
Looks awesome mate, gold wheels would’ve looked fucking quality!
you can use a dragy to measure 60-0 mph
Dream car😍
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.
what you doing with the old brakes ?
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 😅
Awesome job. Dude stop saying Jesus Christ people will be offended I’m not bovered myself. Be safe
Spotting the mat Armstrong branding I see
A black wv logo maybe
Was that weird Al yankovic who stitched your steering wheel up? 😂
Amazing car
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.
A remap next maybe?
You need to get a downpipe and tune!
No gonna lie that dash wrap looks well shit. Hope it doesn’t affect the airbags in a crash 🤦🏻♂️
