@@hampshirephoto Awesome to see your build taking shape! Still waiting for the invidia highflow dp with sportcat for the gti clubsport mk7 here. Plan is to combine the invidia with the current cobra sport catback into a custom turbo back! Then by spring use TVS for the dsg tune! (also thinking maby go Stage 2 then but havent fully decided yet) 🙂
A good old LSD...to obliterate the dreaded "Torque-Steer" and plant all that power to the tar. This combined with the already impressive 4WD, and Coilies, and you can fly round corners welded to the floor....7:52 To avoid "Flywheel" issues, install a "Solid Mass-Clutch Kit"....You'll never have flywhhel problems again....
Question: i have problem with back part of car. When goin straight back part sways left to right when pushing down all 360 hp and 462 tq i have on my gti clubsport. Would a better diffrential fix this as tires get better grip? The car is FWD only, so i suppose it dont..?
Thats one quick golf R. Wish you had me going off at 90 odd mph in front of you 🤣 looks effortlessly to drive. I was wrestling the s3 round the corners but what a mega track will definitely be back there!
Love your video. It would be great to see some result before and after with gps lap timer to compare the lap time but I can’t wait to see the rear diff upgrade video.
So you worked out power, suspesnsion and brakes. Awesome! May I suggest a couple more mods? -Bucket seats - will give you a much better driving position, enhance your confidence as a driver and to top it all off - weight reduction -Rear seat delete - reduce your weight further, and if you get a rear seat delete kit like Stern Preformance clubsport kit you will have a very practical boot to work with aswell. -Harness - tie yourself down properly in the bucket. Bouns mod: CAE Shifter!! Love the build! Love the videos! Keep up the good work luke :)
@@michaelco2115 i see the haldex system not working properly... I have a 300hp old s3 and the back end kicks out in 2nd when it looses traction, his golf is spinning the front wheels
I have the same car but love the way yours sounds. I saw a video where installed a Cobra exhaust. Do you have that exhaust on in this video and what intake are you using as well? It has a nice induction note. Thanks!
have you got the haldex traction turned all the way up? Maybe since I don't have that much power, not sure why a LSD is needed given AWD. My S3 is 400hp and never short on grip.
@@hampshirephoto agreed my cars running 515bhp they stop her very well, looking into replacing my discs with some Reyland or another brand that isn't £620 😀😀
What brakes are you running exactly?? I'm on C Hook standard size discs all round, yellows stuff pads, braided lines and dot 5 but still find that brakes overheat anyway quite a lot. I'm quite aggressive on track with last second heavy breaking Your R runs dream!!! Keep it up! Great content
Thanks Rafal! It’s the Forge Motorsport 6 pot BBK (356mm discs with ceramic pads & braided lines & uprated fluid). Rear brakes are completely stock for now
I have a stage 2 MK7.5 R and I have noticed the front end gets a little floaty on hard acceleration. Does the Wavetrac do anything to make it more planted?
@Harry - the MK7R hax 'XDS' which is software that slows down the freely spinning wheel, so drive can remain. That puts a lot of heat through the brake system, with the Wavetrac installed this can be turned off. The VAQ E-Diff is also still an open differential inside. On 2WD cars it actually uses a 4WD differential, as it has the spline on one side to drive the VAQ E-Diff which is mounted externally. The VAQ E-Diff is basically a haldex unit, and it works by locking the axle to the differential housing. Lots of customers, especially with higher power cars feel the VAQ E-diff struggles, so they install the Wavetrac to get a big performance boost!
Just throw this away and go for a true car. You'll learn 10000 times better on a cheaper catheram and you'll be waaay faster. Or, if you want to do the "car for views on YT" do it proprely, not with this boring golf.
Absolutely HAVING IT at Bedford, awesome to see you enjoying the car and the work we’ve done 🙌
It’s only just the beginning too 👀 Thanks again guys!

The cameras and video quality is..QUALITY! More to come
Awesome mod. I would be tempted. Manual Mk7 R owner here too

@@tredfxman maybe you have to replace youre rear bushes, the Ones you have at the Moment are probably gone, then upgrade with some polyuretan ones.

😂😂 was good to meet you there mate!
Awesome video mate! I love these upgrade videos of yours with a track day off the back to really show the improvements. Can’t wait for the next one!
Thank you buddy!! 👌🏻
Best thing i ever fitted to my trusty old gti massive improvement.
Like the split view on these track vids!! 👌
Thanks Piero!
Awesome video car looking immense as always. I wish regal were closer. They seem to do some very good work 👏🏾
Thanks David!
Look's like a right blast, going to be getting an LSD fitted to my 140 this year and as you know that will transform the car. Good video Luke
An LSD on an M140i makes a huge difference, 100% worth it!
Sending it hard! Keep smashing it bro!
Cheers mate! Hope you’re well
Love your video. It would be great to see some result before and after with gps lap timer to compare the lap time but I can’t wait to see the rear diff upgrade video.
The car looks 👌
Thanks!
Should be the first mod on GTI or the R ( Wavetrac specifically)
So you worked out power, suspesnsion and brakes. Awesome!
May I suggest a couple more mods?
-Bucket seats - will give you a much better driving position, enhance your confidence as a driver and to top it all off - weight reduction

Thanks buddy! All of the above is planned 👌🏻
What isn't clear here is if you got a discount or free work done for promoting them? Always makes a difference to having impartiality
Awesome video mate! Good explanation from the guy at regal too.
Thanks!
No info about maintenance changes?
so is this helical LSD but with some enhancements? 01755
The revs still seem to be flaring exiting slow speed/low gear turns. Is that wheel spin or clutch slip? Around 16:10 is a good example.
As mentioned in the video, it was a cold & sightly damp track, so grip wasn’t perfect. Plus I was running a set of pretty worn Cup 2’s
@@hampshirephoto wouldn’t expect it just to spin the unloaded wheels though. Perhaps the rear diff will help.
@@michaelco2115 i see the haldex system not working properly... I have a 300hp old s3 and the back end kicks out in 2nd when it looses traction, his golf is spinning the front wheels
planning some Verkline front and rear subframes?
Brill video, excellent choice of upgrades. Do you have short shift if so which make?
Thanks Paul! Yes I do, it’s from Forge
Did you disable xds?
Great vid you were on it 😀👍
Thanks Steve!
I have the same car but love the way yours sounds. I saw a video where installed a Cobra exhaust. Do you have that exhaust on in this video and what intake are you using as well? It has a nice induction note. Thanks!
What oil did you use for the double clutch automatic dsg transmission with wqvetrac differential (6 speeds)?
Great video 👍🏻
Thanks!
Can we put this up against the VRS 600bhp cupra!
Sounds fun
Can you explain please what difference did you feel after installing Wavetrack? I was thinking of it for my Audi S3 8L
Was this a front or rear differential install
I’d LOVE to have a drive of this Miss my cupra had an engine problem so I had to give it back 🙃
How much would this mod roughly cost ?
When is the rear lsd coming out for the haldex
have you got the haldex traction turned all the way up? Maybe since I don't have that much power, not sure why a LSD is needed given AWD. My S3 is 400hp and never short on grip.
Are you going to reduce weight from the R?
Sure am - plans are in place 👌🏻
will you get an exhaust on it?
Coming soon
I'm don't want to argue but mk7 R and similar send power to the back not only when there is loss of traction but above 50% throttle as well.
hiya luke do you recommend having the new LSD installed can you notice the difference . Brilliant Vid btw love your track day videos ;)
Thanks Darryl! Yes, it’s made a big difference, and somewhen in the future I’ll be installing the rear LSD too 👌🏻
A golf R doesn't come with an LSD from factory?
Loving the track stuff. Keep the vids coming. Do you prefer the golf or 1 series on track ?
Thanks Chris! The Golf R is better on track, but probably due to the track-orientated modifications I’m doing to the car
How are you finding the brakes? I run the same set up as you but they don't last very long, discs are a fortune too compared to other brands
Genuinely love the BBK - this track day finished off the pads, but wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the setup to anyone
@@hampshirephoto agreed my cars running 515bhp they stop her very well, looking into replacing my discs with some Reyland or another brand that isn't £620 😀😀
What would you say you prefer? Your m140i or the golf R, and why?
Nice vid 👍
What brakes are you running exactly??
I'm on C Hook standard size discs all round, yellows stuff pads, braided lines and dot 5 but still find that brakes overheat anyway quite a lot.
I'm quite aggressive on track with last second heavy breaking
Your R runs dream!!!
Keep it up!
Great content

So basically open diff bad Lsd good would of saved some time lol 😆
Was that a FIAT PANDA? 😂😂😂
Yes!!
That’s the mighty Panda 100hp. What a beast!🐼
I have a stage 2 MK7.5 R and I have noticed the front end gets a little floaty on hard acceleration. Does the Wavetrac do anything to make it more planted?
Your golf r was frm Halifax West Yorkshire
Any suspension mods.?
Yes, all documented in a previous video
Please buy Ash a haircut😅
Jealousy is not a good look Mabz ❤️🔥
@@RegalAutosport haha.. wish i had those curls really😅
Next trim, we’ll craft a wig and we can share the love 🙌
😂
Great video. Does the Golf R MK7 not come with the Volkswagen VAQ E-diff?
Thanks! I’m unsure to be honest, I believe it’s open from factory
@@hampshirephoto the Wavetrac should be effective nonetheless!
It’s made a huge difference, and I have the option to put a Wavetrac on the rear too
@@hampshirephoto If you did go ahead with the rear diff, I'd be very keen to watch a video on your thoughts!

3 gear changes in 3 seconds from 11:52... 🤨🤔
Yes?
It happens. I will say, his last downshifts didn’t match the rpm’s very well going into that turn. He still needs some practice.
He’s no pro driver leave him alone lol
Whats the price of a lsd for a gti or golf r ?
Feel free to contact Regal using the details in the video description 👌🏻
@@hampshirephoto Thanks
"Cor crikey" could that have sounded more british?
First
👌🏻
That has to be the worst explanation of any differential. Sorry.
Just throw this away and go for a true car.

Never owned a vw but Looks a boring experience glad I own an m-lite
