Have a look at the KMC Mesa at Throtl
What happens when you put the engine that beat the Hoonicorn into a station wagon? You get the ULTIMATE street-legal sleeper, and Alex from Ingenious Motorsports specializes in simply that. Nobody expects a Volkswagen Golf R to have a DAZA engine from an Audi RS3 in it, pressing 500 horsepower to the wheel! Scotto geeks out with Alex about 5 cylinder engines, daddy wagons, and tidy engine swaps. Enjoy.

Hoonigan coming in clutch, nicely timed w/ my snack
We are a company that understands a good Snack Break!
Tommy getting people that necessary exposure for the legit work they do.
pretty sure this was fiilmed during the same track day as tommys pre swap video (may 8 2022), dont know why this vid was on the backburner for almost 3 months though 🤷 foreshadowing a future project? hmmm
Tommy put us on to them tho.
@Hoonigan Bonus some peoples kids you know 🗣
@Hoonigan Bonus I think that’s what he meant. Tommy helping the guy get exposure by telling you guys about him so he could get featured
@Kevin Menard that’s indeed what I meant but worded it horribly
Come on, showing us cars with a great sounding engine… without a soundcheck? 🤨
RIGHT wtf
HYG : https://youtu.be/ufQZKyDP1kg
It’s a non-RS3 exhaust but has a custom innovative 3.5” Downpipe. Alex, The owner of Innovative, would argue that the OEM RS3 muffler sounds better, but this is what I got 🤷🏼♂️
Before more people comment about it, this was filmed back in April, when Tommy’s Golf R was still stock and Innovative hadn’t even started the swap. This would have been filmed at the same track day when Tommy did laps in the stock Golf R.
R32? Tommy’s car didn’t come stock with a VR6
It’s a Golf R not R32. The R32 was only available in the mk4&mk5 generations with the 3.2 vr6.
@Urs6onFuturas Bruh, you’re right. My mistake. Tommy and R32 go together in my brain.
@SpraykwoNTheChef Tommy already had the Golf R and the RS3 and had already made the plans with Innovative to do the swap, but his Golf R was still stock during the filming of this.
@Kevin K while that is true he did put them on the radar of Hoonigan.
Such a sweet engine and fast wagons… gotta love fast wagons !
I am so pumped to see Alex and the Innovative Golf RSR at Hoonigan this Golf is a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
I was hoping to see it yesterday at the open house..
Love that Alltrack. It looks *_completely_* stock…
I want one!
Oh hell yes… the ultimate wagon life 🥂🥂🥂
The wagon is awesome! The R… eh I’d rather have just stuck with an RS3. To each their own and they are both really well done! I’m biased toward the sleeper element of the wagon.
Agreed. The wagon with the swap is the better of the two IMO. Doing one on a Golf R I’m not so sure about. Why not just get an RS3.
The R is so funny stupid from an european perspective, like a hellcat in a charger v6
@Nisse I’d say more of a Demon in a Hellcat, really.
Tbh the golf is just as much of a sleeper
@Hoang Pham because the RS3 is only sold as a 4 door sedan in the US. we dont get the the hatch version that is sold in europe
What a dope episode to enjoy while taking a break working on my MK4 GTI (don’t hate on the mk4)
Hoonigan side channel is like how the main channel used to be.
Yep. Sometimes the side piece is more fun.
@Hoonigan Bonus funny used to be your wife but you divorced her. look at you now, thinking the new piece was gonna be all that 😂😂
@JCannabis sessh shots fired yo. but ngl this daily tangents is where it’s at.
Perfect timing! Just got done bolting my vrt in the mk4 Jetta. We need more German car content!
So dude built his own US-spec RS4 Allroad and RS3 Hatch hahaha love it
Gotta love jimmi living his best life out here!!!
Love this guy’s shop and the work they do. Talk about doing it right.
I like that sleeper wagon, definitely wouldn’t expect that at a red light
I wonder what’s the cost of swapping in a 5 cyl driveline. That’s the perfect package for that wagon
I love when you guys cover Volkswagen content! 🔥I’m a vw boi myself! Some of my other car friends think I’m in a cult.. 😂😂🤘 and a dude from ECS did a 07k in a 944 but made it a rally car
Yo, that alltrack is goals, and its all emissions compliant, someone needs to make these common in aus, the epa cant send angry letters then!
From what ive seen these rs3 swapped cars drive like stock as well, 12/10 daily.
Shout out Tommy and hoonigan for getting these guys names further out there. This swap looks awesome, and seems like it fucks
