It can be a pretty big deal in a little car like that. I don't know what that 40 is as a percentage of the old one, But it's probably proportionally pretty significant.

I've had both, hp might be one thing, torque is the onther thing, the n/a has just 95 nm of tq and the gti 200, makes a HELL of a difference, still not a fast car, but alot more driveable at any speed in any condition, i LOVE my GTI, sold my E39 M5, kept the Up GTI. says alot that does.

it felt awkward honestly, maybe a laugh out of tension relief but moogs weird outburst was kinda un called for, even the Vag master dude was alil thrown off, he went to say something along the lines of stepping out of the way to let them do whatever arguing they were gonna do(but stopped at "should I"). I mean even moogs rotary comment was out of left field, Theres definitely been some strange tension these past couple years and that was a small snippet of an uncut moment of that tension.... maybe its just me but caught me off guard forsure...

​@@zebkalnbach4382Moog has really been struggling to find meaning in life the last few years and I'm guessing there's trouble with his wife. He's been really negative and toxic in several of the videos. Remember the one about the orange Civic? He took his jokes way too far and you can see Marty was annoyed with him. Marty did 90% of the work and complained 10% and Moog did 10% of the work and did 90% of the complaining. Hope Moog figures things out soon so Marty doesn't get frustrated and leave.

The high five to the foot caught me out- watching this at night in the uk- my laugh just woke my kids up. Worth it. Love your work guys. Thank you

If anyone thinks for a second that this is a waste of money, well it’s not. It’s a huge investment in learning. It’s a huge investment in making connections with a broader community of people who start off strangers and end up friends. It’s an investment of doing cool things. It’s an investment in problem solving. It’s a collection of experiences and for that, people will spend far more to achieve by travelling, or a hobby, or paying for courses. It’s all relative. Moog’s experiences are not just his. They are shared experiences of everyone that helped in all degrees of involvement. It is expressly this view point that has had me frothing watching this. I don’t even like VW’s but I love watching people create and problem solve. What a ride. Absolute value was achieved.

It is projects like this, and the Mira, where you just straight up refuse to give up that make me love you guys all the more.

Boys; I fully understand the absolute magnitude of this project and the insanity it would have caused. Top job. Miles must be a genius.

Moog, I'm so pleased for you to see this little nugget burst into life. Obviously, massive thanks to the guys and companies who have shipped parts from all over the World to Oz for your project, but I'm so happy to see it finally start and hope that it all works out and that you have the one and only Up! GTi in the Antipodes. This was an epic build and you deserve to have all the effort (and time) you and others have put in rewarded to get this car working.

I've done the same thing for a Daihatsu Sirion. All of the gtvi running gear into a base model car. Had to pay mechanics for a lot of it, so after parts labour and getting it painted twice our tiny little nugget owes us over $40k Australian dollarydoos. She is one of a kind though :p

When you realize you're balls deep into a problem and the OCD won't let you walk away.....for that well done 👍🏻 'Rivals Track'..... absolute classic banga!🕺🏻

The look on Moogs' face when the engine was idling...all the worries washed off his face...legends!😊

Marty like blowing rx smoke 😂😂😂

So happy to see this little nugget running after all of your hard work! I understand the love for an unusual build, you will always enjoy this car more than one that you just went out and bought from the show room

Marty: Get down. I'll do you. Moog: 🎶I've been waiting for this moment, for all my life🎶

Look forward to seeing the final stage of this project.

Sooo close. Can't wait for the initial drive and track stuff down the line. Also the commitment to the ice cream bit, Marty still single bare foot for the ^5 skit. You guys are great.

As a brazilian I was not that exicited for this project, since there are a lot of Up GTIs around here, but the determination and passion made me fall in love with this project. Lets go!

Improvise, adapt, overcome! Your persistence is inspiring!

Fantastic effort! Going to be awesome when you finally have it on the road. Just wish VAG Australia had brought the GTI to Australia

Dudes, love You, never lose faith! Gratings from chilly Poland

Respect. Thought about upgrading my mpi to tsi. Eventually bought a tsi as daily commuter, makes me smile every day.

I’ve seen videos where the ECU goes pretty much up against the firewall in between your windshield wipers get a pull the plastic thing off. That’s where Volkswagen likes to put them.

This is one of my favourite builds for some reason. Seriously oem+. The high five foot sent me 😂

Two guys a cup lol the foot 🦶 high five was funny as f..k didn't expect that well done on the start can't wait to see it finished

I'm enjoying this series

Two guys, one Up outro🤣

I'm glad you stuck with the project after all those hurdles. Thanks for so many years of awesome content. You guys are legends 👏.

Greetings from a 75 HP Up from near Wolfsburg, Germany! What an amazing project and what a final - especially, because VW ended the production of this great car by the end of 2023 (which I will never understand, because it's such a good car). You will have so much fun with this GTI!

@10:47..... im so glad that even with all the space of supergarage your bench still looks like mine 😂😂❤

such a massive undertaking, just as you say there are sooo many teeny tiny little differences. Not just between models but especially between yearmodels. Massive props for going through with this project 👍

„Sometimes I loose the faith“ that from a men that seems so positive and energetic . We all do loose faith sometimes at that point it’s important to rely on friends and just keep on pushing. You both really help me to face the challenges in life. Through this content I learned that it doesn’t matter what gets in your way. With the will to move it out of the way there is almost nothing one can handle. So to who ever needs to hear this: It might seem as an unbreachable object first keep the faith, talk to someone and just keep going! You’re almost there

Back on topic am looking forward too to the finish. I have a vw up aswell and this is pushing me to do a engine swap however I think its easier to just get a crash damaged car and swapping things over and if something is missing at least you can go back to the donor car

This is such a neat build, cool To see a big build on a modern chassis

Thank you guys for continuing to be some of the most genuine dudes in the youtube car scene

Trents as in Poole England? Awesome 👌

Thanks for the inspiration to keep working on my unique project - I think I'm the only person in Australia who is taking a BMW K1600GT to turn it into a sports bike that they never put into production. So I know how tough it can be to get the right parts in Oz. Keen to see this one done and driving!

Ha! Hall Effect, good joke took me a few seconds to get that properly

My dad and grand pa always said find some thing you love doing and have fun doing it and never settle for any thing less the what makes you happy. I look forward to this going around the track. we didnt get the up were i live and driving it in grand turismo made me smile especially chopping my friends civic in the game when I upgraded it to the max.

Fair play to Miles, some amount of VAG knowledge on him!

Great effort. The Up! Is such a good little car and fun to drive but lacks a bit of power for hills etc. I can only imagine a turbo GTI Up! Would be awesome. We managed to total ours hitting a kangaroo on the way home from work one night which is sad but part of living in the country I guess. Ours had the engine coolant temperature sensor fail and send water in to the engine loom, up to the ecu connector and all all sorts of funky places so if you haven’t already it’s worth changing out the sensor as a maintenance item.

Great work boys!

You know something I've learned a long time ago is that it doesn't matter how much a build costs or how much work it is. As long as you're having fun and doing/building what makes you happy then that's all that matters.

For those shear bolts, one thing you could do is use an Allen head and after tightening, go 1 size smaller and round it. Makes it harder for thieves to tamper.
