In this thrilling episode by Vin_tra, the team embarks on a daring mission to transform a worn-out 1991 Volkswagen GTI into their ultimate high school dream car. With nearly 300,000 miles on the clock, the GTI is in desperate need of a makeover. Venturing to FCP Euro in Connecticut, the team is armed with determination and a slew of parts prepped over months for this epic project.
Battling against the odds, Vin_tra and the crew dive headfirst into the dismantling process, stripping the GTI down to its bare bones. The air-conditioned haven of FCP Euro's workshop provides a much-needed respite from the scorching work ahead. As the engine, transmission, suspension, and braking system are meticulously removed, the team's expertise shines through, showcasing their unwavering dedication to the craft.
With a keen eye for detail, the team sets out to revamp the GTI's performance capabilities, swapping out components like control arms, ball joints, and bushings to enhance its handling. The conversion from a cable clutch to a hydraulic system adds a modern touch to this classic ride, promising a smoother driving experience. Additionally, a rear disc brake conversion injects a dose of agility into the GTI's arsenal, setting the stage for an exhilarating transformation.
