Default Golf Mk2 Synchro - absolutely mad driving video!

Just spotted this on another forum I use:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHwxsurbE_Y

The title says "Cossie Killer", I think it could believe that after seeing what it can do 2:50 into the video

Cheers,
Agar

Seems quick - but not mental fast!

However, being a video I imagine doesn't help.

Drives like a bit of a twat though.

car went well, driver was a cock, few points he seemed to be struggling and at speed over taking with on coming cars - not the best example of common sense.

I like one of the posts 'post more external shots' I bet, Mr plod waiting to nabb him lol!!

You recon? Perhaps its just the impression of speed I get from the video.

Agreed about his driving though, sheer madness. I do like the sound of the car though

It would nack a standard cossie and maybe stay with a standard evo 5/6 i reckon but your hard pushed to fine anything as slow as that these days.

Proper shit driving though, no wonder the law is constantly giving the rest of us hassle.

Totally agree, it wasn't that fast but it was shit driving.

A decent Evo or Cossie would do that car quite easy. And there's no need for those stupid overtaking manoveuers.

agreed, time and place and those roads are not the place and when its that busy, not the time.
f.e tho, the golf is quick. although at 2.40 when he comes out of that roundabout standard cossy will do that if u jus floor it in .

well guys a vw golf syncro is a 1.8 carb engine with bout 90bhp standard.that has 4wd it is not actualy 4wd more like 4w steering,and a very basic system,however it is still a good base for modification.thought about putting a agu 1.8T engine with a few mods and 300bhp in a vw golf syncro,would certainly be fast!!!or when i had my mk2 jetta gti 16v,a turbo mod and 2.0l bottom end to be a jetta 2.0l DOHC 16V Turbo.old vw engines are torquey as fuck and built like tanks.all good imo

Cossie/Evo killer for sure - especially with that wanker driving - I can see a head-on colission on the cards if he keeps that up - twat.

A syncro is 4wd when it decects wheelspin but once it has traction it is fwd
A mate of mine has a 3dr one with a 20vT, made 378bhp on PJ motorsports dyno pack.

4 wheel steering? You on crack . The Syncro system was available on the basic 1.8, the Rallye, the Country and the rare G60 Limited.

Syncro's are shite. As said before, it's FWD till it detects slip and then sends some of the power to the rear axle. That means it still always handles like a FWD car, so you can't even hang it round a corner like you can do in a 4x4 Cossie.

Sorry, I just hate VWs in general. Especially the newer ones as they tend to break down all the time. They might have a solid looking dashboard but in reliability terms I'd rather drive a Renault... And that's quite something to say you know...

The only good thing about that old MkII Golf is that they don't seem to rust at all. Which is a shame cause the bodywork is so unbelievably ugly that I sincerely wish they'd finally vanish from the streets...
