GUY MARTIN visits REPerformance for a brew - EXCLUSIVE interview!!
Last week, we were lucky to have the legend that is Guy Martin pop into REPerformance for a brew. He'd taken a break from filming nearby to see what we were up to in the engine build room and had lots of questions about our V10 and McLaren builds.
He really knows his stuff and it was a pleasure to chat with him for over an hour, about everything from engines, to world-record attempts, and, of course, Motorcycle racing (a bit of a sore subject given the current state of Ricky's arm!)
In fact, we got so much footage that we'll be uploading a part 2 and maybe even a part 3!
Huge thanks to Guy for giving us his time - a proper, down to earth petrol head and a really nice fella!

He loves a chat. I'm old enough that he reminds me of Fred Dibnah, another legend.
Geez - I remember Blaster Bates!!!!
„That's Bolton's biggest chimney that… and I climbed it for a ten bob wager. Never did get the ten bob though” 😂
Did yer like that?
I'm only 28 and remember Fred Dibnah on tv
@@dunes7 my dad's favourite and I'm 60!
You got any projects in the works with him? Guy is a national treasure. Done more to get people interested in engineering than anyone else I can think of.
The most down to earth bloke ever I'd love him as a big brother
When two passionate minds align .. amazing
Could watch guy talk about paint drying Had no idea what they were talking about but still enjoyed watching
Could sit and listen to these boys all day, proper interesting, both very clever lads.
Guy’s that one person it’s good to know is around even if one doesn’t know him. What a legend he is 👍🏼
Yeah he is mint!!
Love the way guy is looking at something and goes hmmm, you can see the wheels turning, these kinda guys are 1 in a million, extremely clever guys
Holy hell this a master class in engine building for free. The knowledge in that room could restart civilization.
Thank you
Joking aside, those skills might well be needed in just a few years time.
"Nah, yeah, yeah, yeah, nah, yeah" - Guy Martin Legend, such a big amount of knowledge between you two
Enjoyed that! Love that same wavelength thing where finishing sentences is optional! Total win! 👊
All that I can say about this video is that both Guy and our man from RE performance seem to be in their element here, both of their knowledge is overwhelming. I’d absolutely love to sit and just take in their knowledge and ask questions about anything that I’m not familiar with. Awesome awesome video thank you 🙏🏻
Thank you!!
Its amazing to watch two people have a conversation about something so technical where they can both bounce off of each other and the conversation never dies.
When a lorrie mechanic looks at performance parts. And the damm mechanic can ride like a demon.
I would love to sit down and just obsorbe everything guy and the other Gent are talking about, the knowledge between them is out of this world. Brilliant guys.
Thank you!
Could listen to these two talk all damn day ❤❤
Brilliant video and hats off to Guy to allow you to capture unedited footage. A real treat. I keep looking through your window to see if I can see my car 😁
What a night in the pub Guy knows his stuff 👍👍👍
Totally lost me but a fantastic watch, could listen to them two all day 🤷🏼♂️🤣
C'mon Ricky ....wot you doin there? Guy is on it!
Cleaver blokes having a proper good chat. Could watch that for hours
Oh, I missed the cleavers being swung about.
I have no idea what they are talking about but I enjoyed every single second of it, lovely to listen to two people talk about something they have a deep knowledge for but know they don’t know everything. No egos just sharing... wonderful 👍
Love Guy absolute legend of speed ...one of this era's greats.
DI is for emmision. But they coke up as we know. The later motors with the secondary port injection are much better. Great to see guy at your place.
Would love to see Guy get over to America and talk to some the guys over there that are on YT.
2 very clever engineering minded guys, can listen to them for hours
Brilliant !!
Guy martins positive approach is off the scale..is he actually in the room or somewhere else…a million and one questions constantly thinking every millisecond.😆
@Tavarish needs to see this
Guy Martin...my hero!!! Please come down here for a visit once this Covid-19 b.s settles down...you'd make a 70 year old kiwi wahine and her whanau soooo happy! Arohanui from NZ...
Can’t wait for part 2.
Thanks
The big factor (from my understanding) with having injectors further away from the valve is charge cooling but as ever its a compromise with everything else which needs to be achieved like emissions, fuel economy, driveability, environmental tolerance etc. As you say though inlet tract design becomes crucial the further away the injector goes, factor in partial throttle operation & you start to see where staged injectors in different locations begin to appeal. The DI stuff is all about emissions really, no sane person would go down that route unless you really have to! Very interesting vid.
Such a fascinating guy and a total legend!
I'd love to meet Guy, I'd imagine we'd have another of those conversations that goes " Yeah ?, yeah, yeah, naaah, yeah ? aaaah, yeah. naaah, fooking ell "
Awesome, kept going back to listen again. Makes sense that someone is having a go at the Mclaren engines, they have been keeping all the info and parts too close for too long.
"If it's not right, it's wrong". I love his work ethic, and standards.
New to your channel,Australian/irish ,been watching a lot of usa channels Love your channel and the knowledge
i could sit an listen to this guys for hours top guy
Guy clearly knows his stuff, two guy which a passion for engines amazing stuff
Fascinating man, Guy Martin.
This is the best "Fly on the wall" experience I've ever had 🙏
Better stick the kettle on and get comfy for this one,then stick it on again for pt2 with some hob-nobs 👍🏻
Love this Ricky, can't say I understand much of it but ace content regardless!
Thanks
awesome stuff! And that Guy Martin is a legend
Certainly knows his stuff i wish i could talk to my mates like you guys...
Thanks.
Tavarish needs to talk to you about his P1
Revisiting this after a year and mate so inspiring! Have obviously seen all the insanely ridiculous docs with Guy and he is truly one of a kind but such a pure petrol at the same time. Liked how he dropped Norris engines in there and their 4g63 compound development. That would be a great video subject- this setup tuned with Syvecs and MoTec- Absolutely brilliant and Thank you!
2 robots talking to each other in their own language I didn't have a clue but was fascinated lol
Two very focussed knowledgeable blokes having a natter. No one up man ship just respect. Magic! As a Scania man Guy would know all about turbo compounding as Scania fitted it to the 6 cylinder engines. So they had one turbo used as normal and a 2nd turbo driving through gears to the rear of the crankshaft. Ask me how I know ... (Scania tech)
The knowledge you two have is unreal👌👌👌👌👌👌
Thank you!
I have no clue what they are talking about but it was still damn interesting.
Rick, Neil and I have been discussing it and we can’t decide if we’re more concerned about your arm or your haircut :) Great video as always buddy.
Thanks mate!! lol
I assumed Ricky had cut his own hair. After his accident.
i loved this and the 2nd part. watched it wrong way round :D
Excellent couple of videos and I need to hatch a plan to get a V10 audi for RE to work on 😂
I watched this in mortal fascination. Guy has been playing dumb. Our engine guy with the dodgy arm, genius. Everything he said made perfect sense and I only understood 10% of it.
KZhead's auto-generated English captions is having a hard time keeping up.
Excellent and interesting talk thanks for the filming great content
Glad you enjoyed it
This is so interesting even for the none Machanic. All fascinating stuff two guys that understand each other
The UK edition of Nick's Garage. 👍
Guys a good guy👍🏻👍🏻
not got a clue wot they mostly said but sooo interesting !!!! when I get a r8 ill be in the que to see these boys !!!
Mint ...
It's funny you mention ecanoo racing, I've been watching their vids. Crazy cars!
the sort of conversation i wish me and my mates have,,, the reality of the conversation i have with my dog is very different, did buy the bodykit from the norris s13 many years ago, great video
Thank you!
Awesome content! Looking forward to my first visit there with my R8GT 😁
Thanks
Realy knows his stuff and so do you Ricky....going to have to get him to visit in the volvo
Thanks
Oh this is good, thank you Gentlemen.
I wonder if they he was referring to golf ball Dimple Pattern surfacing in the inlet port? Looks amazing the appearance of it.
I like your mindset with business and tuning. Well done.
Thank you 😊
Epic ❤️
Nice to hear Kevin KMB engineering got a mention for the engineering work👍🏻
thanks for sharing, I would say that was very interesting but I hardly understood a word !! :) :) still great to be a fly on the wall though.
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video, thanks
Glad you liked it!
This is so interesting
this guy is a BEAST
What a fantastic chanel to find 👍 . Dream workshop and dream exotica to work on
Thank you very much!
@@REPerformanceUK hi im not sure if this is of interest or if it would create enough financial reward for your business but another channel I watch has hit a bit of a brick wall in regards to intake temperature on the AUDI RS5 , apparently is a common problem with little or no remedy . I will post a link to the video below this comment and that will explain the issue better than I can . If you have a fix in mind great stuff if not I don't own one so im ok 😂😂😂 .

Are these lads speaking Chinese, amazing Knowledge love to meet Guy top bloke
Great content 👌Soon this channel will be huge
Hope so!
Pure class 🙂👍.
Many thanks!
Ricky! I’m looking at getting my podcast restarted in the new year. I watched one with you recently going through your business story/background. And I know you said you just fell in love with engines. Would love to have you on to just explore that if you fancy talking engines for an hour? I understand my channel is damn tiny currently but still got to ask 🙌🙂
If EVER there was the perfect response from Guy, the legend,it's at 00:47 : Love it!
😂😂
Great
epic chat. i noticed u have a gt3 technic is that for sale ?
Really good content 👍
Glad you think so!
Mad as a bag of 🐸 🐸 🐸
Great videos.
Glad you like them!
Outstanding. Just 2 genuine enthusiasts chatting. I could listen to that for far longer than 20 minutes. Did I miss what Ricky did to his arm ?
Broke it racing my superbike ay Brands Hatch, crashed and got hit by another rider.
Ouch. Hope it's not too bad a break.
yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, funkinell!
And I thought I was doing well servicing my bikes 🤣🤣, but Jesus these boys are another level...(actually several levels)
Cheers
Everyone wants Guy martin to be their mate.
No idea what you’re both talking about but still found it fascinating
Thank you.
What you got going on here ? Turn the camera off ! When an engineer has a question. Great vid boys 👍
Thanks 👍
Who doesn't love Guy Martin??
He is the suppository of knowledge, the master of faster
He really is, cray to boot too! Lol
I just love anybody who takes pride in their work. It's your name. It's your family. Ancestors. So many shithouses around, these days. "it'll do/doesn't matter/they won't know/not my problem"..... No. Do it right, or don't do it.
i'm nowhere near even beginning to be qualified to comment they are verbally jousting in a very friendly way one knows the detail the other has the general picture and a firm idea about the general principle.....and what is right and wrong...in short Guy is checking him out...and our man checks out...all I can say... best John
I wish I could go back in time, and become a mechanic. I was made to believe that I couldn't do anything in school, and I believed it. Now I own an Audi A4 B7, S-Line, and I love it. It's 2006 but it's in very good condition. I have fixed a few things on it, but I wish I could dismantle it and get it like new. I would really love to be hired by somebody, to learn from them. But somebody who has standards of perfection, not some nakka with some silicone and an angle grinder.
Is that a laser red B6S4 avant In the window on the lift? I don't know a single person playing with them so I would love to know what's going on with that! Everyone goes from the B5's, skips the B6 and then goes on from there.
C6 RS6 V10 sir
Two dedicated engineering nutters chewing the fat! That was so interesting!
Only Guy could wear that hat and get away with it. : )
Is Guy Martin related to Whistlin’ Diesel?
Jm imports is building some serious hp gtrs also, watch out👀
Yeah Jurgen is smashing it with his GTR builds!!
@@REPerformanceUK I'm looking forward to seeing how his McLaren turns out🤯 keep up the good work 🙏
