Surely to become one of the most infamous tunes of all time on GTP, here it is: the Original Gangstaz Golf.
Despite the lack of a ridiculous wing, the gold paint on this car more than makes up for that, which also cancels out the lack of a carbon bonnet. The car has been maxed out in power. The transmission has been tuned to allow the car to reach speeds of - wait for it - 517 mph. That's 832kph. It's not that hard, surely?
The suspension has been tuned to make the car look furtherly ridiculous. Not only is the camber amazingly visible, but the setup allows for incredible cornering abilities in the form of...rolling over at every single one. Or at best going through each one on two wheels, impressing every slag you see in your Golf sometimes and killing them all at other times. This is a car for the extreme, and we hope you like it as much as it is crazy.
Here's the first and most beginner friendly of our pocket rockets - the DRS Copen. You know, that Daihatsu tuner? Yeah.
While the Copen can reach far, far greater capabilities than this (when it literally explodes from a High RPM Range Turbo Kit), this is still a sweet tune that is much improved over the original Copen. Yes, the kei car seasonal may now be obsolete and yes, nearly no one wants Premiums of them but come on...just see what you can do with them!
Nice
Like seeing someone else taking an interest in the Kei cars.👍👍
Thinking our next TC will be pitting tuned Kei cars against a stock Supercar. Still working out the details though.
When I get some time I'm still planning on going back to my Copen tune (with the high rpm turbo) and try and get it under 8 minutes on Nürburgring Nordschleife. Current best is 8:20.xxx but my tuning and driving have both improved since then. If I can break 8 minutes I'll post my tune.
Oh and I'd like to invite you to give my shared Daihatsu Cuore TR-XX a spin and tell me what you think.
Yeah, I think the kei cars are brilliant little specimens.
I was thinking of doing my own TC in the autumn/fall based around rallying. Basically I will give the entrants a Rally Base Car ticket, and they must give that car sensible rally specs and build a car not just for tarmac, but for dirt and ice as well. However since the cars aren't equal at all in the ticket selection (ie you could get an Evo X from one but an Alpine A110 from another) I'll say that instead the winner will be based on simple driving goodness (after the testers vote) rather than a laptime. And if that comes to light, I will be testing rather than tuning that time
Also what's funny is I have a full tune for a MIRA TR-XX as well. Maybe we can give them a quick owner swap to test out? Also you said you want to try my C4, so I'll put that online as well.

Thanks for that review! I tried to keep the PP range lower to try and make it a slightly simpler drive, but it could easily handle more PP.
Also I'm finally back after my 5 day trip!
Now all the other lower pp MR cars will stop beating me
that Mitsubishi GTFO worked even better in the MR version of it, thank you so much!!
It's Adrenaline's fault - he put it under the MR when it's just the Twin Turbo. Still...glad to see you like it!
