    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.

    @connor45rm85 10 месяцев назад +3

    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.

    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 😂 ✌️❤

    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?
