S4 E06: El Gapo: The 600HP Audi TTRS Build That's Going for a 9-Second Run - Part 2

<p>In this second episode of our two-part series with Jeremy Mwendwa (aka El Gapo), Kalasinga and Vanilla pick up right where the heartbreak left off.</p><p><br /></p><p>After the Masaku TT tire split and a frustrating serpentine belt failure, Jeremy reveals the impulsive, "on-the-moment" decision that led him to buy the Audi TTRS and how a matching watch and his daughter’s approval sealed the deal.</p><p><br /></p><p>We discuss:</p><p><br /></p><p>- The TTRS Struggle: Fixing a car isn't always straightforward. We talk about replacing turbo cores, repairing cracked manifolds, and tracking down the vacuum actuator leak that was preventing the car from making full power.</p><p>- The Build Philosophy: Instead of buying a new kit, Jeremy explains why it's better to get the most out of your current setup before upgrading the engine, transmission, and chasing 9-second quarter-mile times.</p><p>- Knowledge Is Power: Jeremy shares why mechanical skills alone aren't enough. He explains how hours spent on Audi forums and more than 30 Facebook groups helped him understand the platform and solve problems.</p><p>- GTR vs. RS7 vs. TTRS: Which offers the best driving experience? Jeremy explains why the GTR's raw, engaging feel stands out compared to the smooth, effortless performance of the RS7.</p><p>- The Future of Kenyan Racing: We discuss the growing focus on drag racing, the upcoming August events, and why better safety measures and spectator discipline are becoming increasingly important as cars get faster.</p><p><br /></p><p>Guest:</p><p><br /></p><p>Jeremy Mwendwa: https://www.instagram.com/elgapo700</p><p><br /></p><p>Follow Gearhaus on:</p><p><br /></p><p>TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@itsgearhaus</p><p>Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/itsgearhaus/</p><p>WhatsApp: https://www.whatsapp.com/channel/0029Vb7MoK22Jl8Epvkjrz2I</p><p><br /></p><p>Gearhaus is a Palahala Media Group production.</p>
