Is the MK6 GTi – Universally loved?

Posted on January 17, 2022 by AJ

I bought a dirt cheap 2012 MK VW GTi

I purchased this car a year ago and it’s been so much fun. Thought I’d put together a quick video on the background of the GTi but also a more in-depth look into the MK6 itself. 

I have wanted a GTi for almost 30 years and this did not disappoint.

The stories Ross has are incredible!

Ross Bentley – From the start

This will likely be another element to the channel. Throughout my time at the track I have bumped into some pretty amazing drivers. I think it goes without saying that Ross is not only one of those guys but also an amazing coach.

Prior to Pro Coaching (SpeedSecrets), Ross spent his time as a professional racing driver. He drove many classes including IndyCar and IMSA Sports Car. I hope you enjoy listening to the interview as much as I did doing the interview. 

Here’s the direct link.

Oh and if you want to go fast, make sure you sign up for his SpeedSecrets Weekly 🙂

LS Swap RX-8: Exhaust Guide and Some Fun

Posted on November 6, 2021 by AJ

LS Swap RX-8: Exhaust Guide and Drifting Fun!

Time for the next video. This one was a ton of fun to make. Yes I suck and even attempting to drift. In true race car driver fashion here is my excuse…: I have spent years having it beaten into me that in closed circuit racing, drifting is slow. There, I said it 😀 

All joking aside, I really hope you enjoy this video. I hint at it but I would love to go into more detail about the effects of exhaust design. The author of the book mentioned in the video is a genius and I would love to share.

Here’s the direct link.
