Can we make a RWD Volkswagen GTI? | Pt 1

Making a RWD GTI using VW and Audi parts is something we always wondered if it could be done. In this video series, we find out if it is possible to make a VW GTI rear wheel drive, without major fabrication. All while keeping the VW engine that comes in a GTI.

This process would be very similar for an All wheel drive swap on any front wheel drive VW or Audi model.

This rwd conversion is an ultimate question I've been having for many years. Finally someone got to actually do it. This video really made my day 😂.

So 500 HP through a clutch-plate to get the HP to the rear? Come on, bring in a welder to weld those shafts together!

I don't think that haldex cluch will hold up all that power, but it will be interasting to see.

Bob “the builder”: Can you build it!!!
ShopDap: Yes, we can!!!

2:28 Bees didn't live there. That's a wasp's nest.

Love to see how this turns out.

I did LOADS of research on this about a year ago - I *was* gonna say it should all work but the haldex clutch isn't all that strong so there's a chance it'll burn up pretty quick but then I saw you welded it anyway in later videos, absolutely love it 😂

The car scene needs more crazy builds like this. Trendsetters indeed.

Never came across your channel before. Just clicked on this video and subscribed after just 17sec. Amazing!

It's like watching a bad car crash and yet I cannot look away. Keep the content coming.

[miguelchaves]

whenever there are crazy dudes taking a fwd car and turning it into a rwd, it means I 'll go for the like button without thinking twice...

Everyone knows that if you want to remove an old rusty part, you just put your head under it...THEN it magically comes loose!

Literally searched for information on haldex swaps last week hardly any info on YouTube till now!

I'm doing a B9 A4 quattro spec conversion on my B8.5 A4 FWD CVT in Jan 2021. Basically I'm putting the DSG, quattro drivetrain & EA888 Gen 3 2.0t 252hp 2018 A4 parts in my 2013 A4 might even do a manual swap since I have a full donor B9 A4 car! I can't wait to see your process as it may indeed help me out with mine! More of the work & progress of my build is in my channel.

Hey guys.. I'm from Germany.. now living in Ireland.. anyway Google aka Youtube AI suggested me this video and I like your content so I left a like and subscribed.
I am advanced, so if youtube vids dumb things down too much I get bored quickly as it wastes my time, which I have to say is not the case with your content.
So good work guys, you are fun!
BTW I'd like to mention the elefant in the room: Me being German I am aware that the world is still nuts about German cars, why, I do not know.
Especially in recent years they are not known to be the most reliable and also not well engineered.
My father was big in the tire business and had huge contracts with Audi, but regularly went to business meetings in a Honda Accord. The smurfs at Audi did not like.

That said, since Mighty Car Mods I do understand them GTI's are very popular in the English speaking world.
Nuff said for now
