Thought i would stick up a quick build thread of my R32. Wont be to everyones taste but youve gota build your car for yourself :happy2:. Bought it just over a year ago now, flew down to exeter and brought it home. Pretty good spec, bucket seats, sat nav, winter pack, highline dash etc. Came with the private plate and non res milltek :haha:

Took it to crail and drove it like it should be driven, ran a 13.6 so was pretty happy with that.

Then over the winter collected some goodies to get fitted in spring.

Looks spot on, very very nice! Whats different with the US spec rear lights compared to ours?
-
Love it, like both sets of rims sits perfect and bet than brakes stop you well
-
Yeah the brakes dont half work, not that the standard brakes were that bad right enough. The us spec rears dont have any colours on the inside circle of the light, so there all clear like the reverse light on the standard lights. Just had to wrap the bulbs in the right colour of lens tape to make them glow as indicators and fog etc.
-
Very nice love that colour on your car,very nice brakes too!!!!
is that your winter wheels on now or was it just for a picture?
scott :happy2:
-
Love the summer wheels! Very nice!
-
Mate, your car looks the business! I love the summer wheels.
-
very nice mate :happy2:
-
Looking good mate.. I myself prefer the winter wheels as I love Turinis.. But she's got a nice Euro stance for the summer.. :happy2:
Oh and 13.6 for a stock R32 with Milly is by far the quickest (by a mile) I've heard of from a non blown R32.. Is that right? :confused:
-
I want both sets of your wheels! :laugh: :drool:

I saw this at Inters:

Even Rupo couldnt manage that with his Tuned Non Turbo'd R at the Pod...
-
Love the winter wheels, something simple and effective about them! WOuld you paint the calipers blue for a more OEM look? either way im envious of the brakes!!
-
Cheers for all the comments guys. I no the alphards a a marmite kinda wheel, especially with this forum being quite into power more than the euro scene, gota admit i like both thats why ive been looking for some lightweight wheels for winter / non show weekends.

Yeah ran quite consistently at 13.6 / 13.7 then went back up with the alphards on and ran a 14.1, but with the staggered widths, stretched tyres and the weight that was to be expected. Had the back seats out and no spare wheel, and the milltek.
-
Stunning mate - loving the alphards :happy2:
-
i like the new shoes horse ! when u turboing it ? :)
-
Very nice!!. :happy2:

Is your DSG mate.. Either way it's impressive (even for Crail).. Rupo's was around 290-300bhp and his got no where near that.. It was manual though..
-
Did you have to do any Vag Com coding to fit your US spec rear lights? I've heard of all sorts of problems trying to get them to not throw up fault lights on the dash?

Nah mines a manual aswell mate.
No problems with the us spec lights nope, disconnected the daylight running light on it though as i didnt want it on all the time.
-
very nice
love this
-
What exactly does the 'US spec lights' change?
-
Yknow what... im sorry, but prefer the winter wheels... Looks really purposeful on em somehow!
Probably cause it looks like you had to shoehorn in the brakes!
-
Aha! About time you had a thread! Sare heed on Sunday morning?
-
Looking Umph umph Boris :happy2: myt see those wheels on my ed 30 :party:

very nice, R8 calipers looks ace :happy2:

Love it. Want wheels for mine now but can't decide which I prefer!
-
What exactly does the 'US spec lights' change?
All the wee filters inside the lights are clear rather than red for the fogs, orange for the indicators etc. :happy2:
Aha! About time you had a thread! Sare heed on Sunday morning?
Haha tell me about it. Nah i was alright horse, tired just dancing about as big d in life all night :jumping: :grin:

haha dont worry about it mate, like i said i build my cars for me, everyone likes different things. This forums pretty motorsport biased so i expected most people to prefer the turinis :happy2:
Hopefully see a few changes over the winter :signLOL:

13.6 is a great time. Its all in bennetts launch, think thats where all the time is made. Launching it as hard as he could all day, standard clutch took it no probs. Even his mrs blew the doors off a certain red ed30 (toast).....nearly. :drinking:

wouldnt have been hard wae Toast driving................ :driver:

Love it on the Alphards, I'm a big fan of the turini's too, but i think it looks spot on wearing it's summer boots! Impressive times too! :happy2:

Ya Pwwicks............. :booty:

True.. He's nearly a second off the time he should be getting for his mods.. :booty: :signLOL: Smoked by a near stock R32 too... The shame.. :ashamed: :signLOL:
-
I disagree. Cant see his mods running 12's plus his 20stone frame wont help. So many more mods he needs before a 12sec manual ed30. Roll on next year! Stevie.
-
To be fair to toast his best time of the day was identical to mine i think, and he was catching me at the end like id stamped on the brakes :driver: :grin: Bigger baws and he'd be quicker but not by much........and yea, roll on next year :evilgrin:

13.6 :drinking: :popcornsoda: :innocent:

who cares 1/4 mile is for donut punchers................ :booty:

Love that, sits really well on both sets of wheels. I will be putting turinis on our S3 :happy2:

12's are possible in a manual KO4 (been done by 4 guys on this forum now), but won't help if he's a big fella.. :wink: Be fun trying though, but 350bhp FWD Mk5's aint easy to launch on standard rubber I know that much.. :scared:
Bet the terminal speeds were a fair bit different though?

Polishin buffs with six speeds are for turkish delight luvers! Scrap the kitchen and get the bine bought! :drinking:
