Golf kit car tdi Videos

i bet he never shifts.. all that tdi torque.. i would love to drive the twin cam tdi model passat or golf when it gets here.. mmmmmmmmm

Lots of torque but he shifts at quite low rpm so it seems like he shifts a lot?

diesel torque is awesome, can have fun with out Scaring the pedestrians.

this is the only mk4 i respect :D other than dahlbacks monsters..ahaha

wv well never make a car like this any mor the best car ever

too much smoke... diesel is not doing for rally...

until the twin cam tdi golf becomes a rally car.

sounds like an N4 EVO, but less noisy

hmmm need a kit for my focus dtci.

bad sound, pollution rocks ..

no rpm. the diesel curse

hahaha black smoke

diesel 4 trucks!

rallye is god

sounds ugly

+TheSmokingTire Matt, after looking at the power curve of this tune, I really am going to stand firm on this - as from 4,300rpm the power drops like a cliff. You'd be pushing to redline for no reason, and slowing your progress. If you get the car again, do a 1/4 mile time shifting at 4,500 and again at 5,000 - you will see an advantage. The amount of torque and power you lose in those last few revs is massive, this isn't a gas car, the drop off isn't progressive so there isn't a reason to whip a dead horse. While up shifting earlier places you back in the meat of things and gets you progressing faster.

+BigCarKilla I'm a gear higher than the gas car, yes, but I still don't like upshifting before redline when I'm on the straightaway. The car doesn't pull as hard above 4500 as it does below it, but the last 500 RPM are still worth using if you're trying to go as fast as possible. The time and momentum lost with two extra shifts isn't worth it to me when there are still revs left in the gear.

+Gordon Freeman Hasn't been the case in a lot of diesels for quite a long time. BMW, Merc, VW/etc all learned ages ago how to make diesels rev right upto where the fuel stops burning. Usually 5000-5200 is the new cut off and that's because they build soft limiters into the software to save engine damage after that. Look up piezo injectors in a common rail and you'll see just how flexible the new fuel delivery systems are.

+Gordon Freeman I generally agree with you. :)Although something to note it depends entirely on the given car/engine/hardware/tune.My car makes peak BHP at 4200rpm and holds it flat till 5000 :-) (same base Common rail VW engine as this)

They should be offering one with AWD and a 0.9 inch increase in ride height next year. It'll be called the Golf Sportwagen Alltrak. But, unfortunately for now no TDI engine and no manual transmission. Just the 1.8T and a DSG will be offered.

+Sean Hallissey I've been out there a few times for drifting events. It's a pretty nice drive out there from NOVA. I'm not really into drifting but I gotta say that Hyperfest is a lot of fun. They have other racing events too. I definitely recommend getting out there some time.

+PIchillin456 cool I'm close. Can't wait.

Summit Point Raceway in Summit Point, West Virginia. It's about an hour outside of D.C.

Watch the video maybe?
