Sorry about the late upload guys, gotta say really enjoyed driving this thing so much character makes me miss my focus st. Hope you enjoyed see you soon 👍🏾👍🏾

Owner is obviously very knowledgeable and passionate about his GTI. Awesome video!

Owner seems like a top lad.

the owner looks so happy and content with his car

Great to see a guy that’s clued up with knowledge about his car.

This guy knows everything about his car 🙌📚 Real car guy no doubt 🎓

Dave the Golf GTI Owner is an absolute legend!

i like the small styling. very subtle. "we went for the power first." i really like how this guy operates.

If Ricky says it's fast, it's FAST! Another great video

And he hasn't made it a chav mobile. Real nice car!

This is the best rapport between 2 strangers I've ever seen in a car video on Y/tube. Quality :)

I’m a RWD car guy, but with this video you made me really see FWD cars like I’ve never seen them before. Great video. Big thumbs up!

Difference between the GOLF GTI and GOLF R are as follows: The R is different in these areas specifically engine. In other words both cars are great, golf R being the stronger engine. - Cylinder head (made from a different alloy compared to other engines in this module because of higher thermal stress). - Exhaust valves (hollow, higher Ni content, nitrided). - Exhaust valve seat rings (improved temperature stability and wear resistance). - Exhaust camshaft (adapted valve timings). - Compression ratio 9.3:1 with different pistons. - Piston cooling jets (higher flow rate). - High pressure injectors (even higher flow rate). - Bigger turbo, IHI IS38. - Charge pressures of up to 17.4 PSI (1.2 bar). - High performance main radiator with 1-2 auxiliary radiators (depending on country specifications) - Sound actuator (for the occupant cell) and active exhaust flaps in the exhaust system.

honestly, 12,000 for that is nothing. that's a bargain for 510bhp

What a guy... proper enjoys his car 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

It‘s so much fun to watch you guys having fun with that car! Awesome video :)

What a proper car looks really nice with the 5 doors. Not to over the top and sounds brilliant, top car you have there.

A few more important differences in the R version of the EA888 - "the cylinder head (together with exhaust valves, valve seats, and springs), pistons, high-pressure injection system, and turbocharger" are revised/upgraded from the GTI mill. The block is the same.

Pocket Rocket 🚀 🚀

Great video. You guys should have your own show. Your banter and conversation rolls naturally, you say what you're really thinking, and it's clear you know what you're talking about. I'd watch! Thanks for sharing. I just ordered a stage 2 for my MK7 GTi. Can't wait to get it done!

I cannot tell how much I loved watching this amazing GTi video. I had the biggest smile on my face as soon as u set off. Hats off to you.

good video, glad to see you lot having fun filming that pocket rocket!

Ricky, done it again ain't ya. Another great vid! Great shots, scenes and edit. First class as usual. Sweet GTI. Obvious 500+ bhp & 475 odd ft lb is mega AF but also like the fact that all the interior / exterior mods are super subtle too.

Insane car indeed! That digital air vent guage is really smart.

You're killing it with your vids bro! Each one better than the last. 🔥

WOW!! I have the same car but mine is stock standard and the difference between my car and this one is day and night. Good God this golf looks and sounds insanely good. The drop! Those wheels! The sound! What an amazing piece of art. Big up, great work.

glad to see there are people in this world that understand what driving fun means. subbed

What a great video! Thanks a lot for bringing this car to the channel. Best exhaust note on a GTI, ever! And Fast as hell either!

Ricky this is my favourite video so far I have watched this video about over 50 times now. The owner of this GTI knows everything about his car, he is a blessed guy......👊🏿

Another class production mate. Need one of these on my car 👌

Greeting from Chicago, this is an amazing video and great quality content keep it up 😎

PERFECTLY modified from a styling perspective. It still looks stock but has a little more aggression to it. I call it OEM+, like how a special GTI should look from the factory. Kudos my friend. Well done.

Fam I’m so glad youtube started recommendin your vids to me, this my 2nd video watchin and your content is really outstanding! You earned a big sub! Much love🙏🏼

Loving the vid Ricky, what a car......great content great to see other brands on the channel 👍🏻

So insane!🔥 Ricky man your editing production is absolutely class, bro!🙌🏻...Amazing video!

Happy New Year Ricky and your family! Cool video! Well done Ricky and GTI owner! Can't wait for another LLF meet!

Amazing video! Do love some VAG action. I totally see where he’s coming with the paddles, simple but satisfactory!

This is obviously a genuine guy who’s done his car the way he wants to do it why r there so many haters that are just hating on him if u can’t afford to do wot u want to do to a car don’t hate on some1 who can the car is nice and wot he has put into the car is nothing to do with any1 else but I suppose u r always gonna get these haters out there because it’s obviously better than there bus ticket or a lot better than there car and that certain person who called him fat wow how childish was that why can’t u just be nice and positive like most people on here that have said the truth about the car cuz that’s wot it’s about the car not dave it’s all about the car and wot he has done to it so stop hating

your work keeps getting better

Back to back vids. Loving it, this is what the channels all about. Love the crazy cars great job Ricky

This guy just talked me into buying an mk7 GTI. Great video for sure, will be a great addition to my VW Touareg V8.

Ricky dropping another banger. Quality video bro, genuinely seemed like you two were having a great time as well. Loving the content.

vidz just keep getting better great watch great channel

Top marks for the intro video editing Ricky, very creative there. Really like editing when its unique. Lovely car that is. The paddles are the 1st thing to change in a lot of automatics these days. Sub par standard ones in a scary amount of cars.

Legendary page, needs more recognition still... also would love to see this GTI. VS Calvin’s GOLF R. Straight run 1/4 mile.

Every video gets me gassed 💯 👌

Those Paddleshifts Looks sick and that car is just insane.. Currently have a mk5 GTI on a stage 2+ and feel like that's crazy power but this is just out of this world

What a wicked wicked car, loved every second of the video bruvva!! subbed!!

Yes fam! Hatchback videos imo hatchbacks are the way forward for city living if u wanna be on that limit, big mercs and bmw etc are great for open roads but put a M3 in a bendy country road with a stage 2 Golf R are RS3 it’l have a hard time

Glad to see a fellow Leicester lad with a crazy GTI.

Great video and great review! Greetings from South Africa!

Wow what a video. Such fun in a gti, the power blimey that looked immense and fun.wicked video glad done a gti too.

Top car owned by an obviously top lad - only question for me is why didn’t he go for the R and tune that to 500bhp? Probably not as much fun as the GTi, but saves money buying clean pants every day 😂. Ricky - once again, the quality of the video is on point! No one else on here comes close.

Never gets old... Sweet ride.

loved the video! couldn't stop smiling. Great chemistry between two lads

Another brilliant video

Car looks crazy 510hp from a 2.0 Sick bro

Love the mods.. I hope the owner still has the car.. Ricky thanks for the video mate!! I daily drive a Mk7 Gti too and get great inspiration from this video. Thank you.. Love from Toronto!!

Awesome vid.. Thanks for sharing. I can't imagine a front wheel drive with that weight putting down 500 hp. That's sick

I remember this car from the meet Awesome vid bro keep up the good work my g nearly 30k bless up

Nice car, nice guy, nice video, Thumps up

Great video. Big shout out coming from the states !

A couple of lads having a great time, enjoying power in its finest form & talking shit . Top job

Yes a Golf video

Awesome Video. That torque steer is hilariously frightening 😂😂.

Absolute quality again mate, keep it up!

Love the 2 GTI's, nicely modded back in the day i had, engine is solid and the performance.... from they known as Pocket Rocket, awesome... not to be sniffed at the GTI is.... unbelievable how the turbo is, constant power.... Nuff respect for that setup... love the Milltek Exhaust System... oh i wish i had one now... sadly moved on to the M3.....

I'm not a VAG fan for many reasons.. but this is pretty sweet!

Sick motor and class owner! Very good video brother. But.. my OCD is kicking is.. The passenger door seal!!

im in love with this and that boost gauge!!

I already once drove an MK6 GTI with around 470HP, the wheelspin was a bit silly but once it grips.. and these tuned 2.0 TSI's do really sound badass, especially downtown with the windows down :D

You need more subscribers bro

Your zooming in on him at certain times😂. Good vid bro

Great car. Great video. Owner clearly loves it. One thing to mention though is I recall him saying it runs 2.2bar boost but looking at that stealthy gauge it looks like 22psi...

So dope man! Well done😁

Never saw you laugh somuch in a car

Nice to see a tuned GTI

Great video. 👍 Keep it up mate!!! Driving myself an gti 7 stage 2 APR. Wicked car which put a big smile on your face while driving it

Always look forward to Rickys first nervous laugh and grin 😬 know that feeling too well, like tapping your foot to catchy tune it’s automatic, love your work RICKY 👍

Owner seems like a sound lad

An awesome sleeper ✊🏼 I had a Mk6 gti that was trip but no where near that guys 😎 Ricky 🤷🏽‍♂️ you have all of us petrol heads and some bad ass whips you should organise some cash days (Street Outlaws style) at Santa pod 👍🏽 have a list be the race master etc and your channel will be the biggest thing this side of the Atlantic 🤷🏽‍♂️I will put a few clips of the American show for those who don’t watch it 🥜( yet😊)

Great video mate keep em coming.

Every time I watch one of your videos I fall in love with the car. This time is no different. Bloody brilliant

Hi, How is the car pushing 510bhp.I know when you swap to IS38 and a tune you can start hitting close to 400bhp.I have a similar setup and will luv to know how you gaining another 100bhp.thanks

Love these cars. they're like a Small mini van. true car in sheeps clothes

Love the video Ricky, made me smile watching it !

AMAZING! Inspires me to go APR stage 3 with my Golf 6 GTI

I love ❤ Turbo Cars 😁👍

I want a mk7 GTI for some reason 😂

This is sick. Wicked car and two really likeable guys. 15:57 had me giggling to myself uncontrollably. Keep churning out content of this quality Ricky and you'll go far mate.

Wow! The power is insane and it sounds incredible.

Could you do a maxed out golf r next

Got so many smiles just watching this video. This car makes me so happy :)

I've been watching this video almost every year best video in the channel it brought me closer to your channel

From Leicester, big up!

the uk matt farrah, but better.. love it bruddah

Another great vid Ricky :) Pleasure to watch!

Amazing video! That GTI is mental👀

my scirocco is at about 300bhp (just over) at the moment, and it feels fucking fast, i used to have some fast beemers, fastest being a 645ci 4.4 and a 2011 pana 3.6 petrol - but honestly the rocco feels ' faster - so i cant imagine that
