Here is my 'new' .:R32, first impressions are good, low down torque and power is good and it carrys on pulling. Nothing compared to my last beast but with the addition of a super charger :drool: itl be like a foooookin rocket. I also keep finding myself making excuses to go out for a drive :rolleye: which i didnt really like doing in my mk5 incase it 'broke' :grin: Oh and average round town mpg is 19 :signLOL: motorway sat at 70 will do 32mpg.
So things i need to do are;
major service in 200 miles
refurb all alloys (in glossblack or anthracite)
drop 20mm on springs
Blueflame exhaust
Supercharge (next year)
So here are some pics..........

Nice what the full spec? Can see a sunroof.
You won't save much for a house if you plan on superchraging it :laugh:
Wheels don't go gloss black keep it subtle a lighter anthracite colour if any colour change.
-
looks a clean example..i would put the wheels lighter anthracite colour also
-
its got every extra except sat nav unfortunatly. :smiley:
Il do some photoshops when im going to do the wheels, wont be till christmas time though :party:
-
You won't miss the sat nav Joe. There sh*t in the mk4. Lol
Looks great mate. You and Kim look good in it ;)
Don't go for black wheels haha!
-
Said before it looks great Joe! :happy2:
-
Nice car, Joe! :happy2:
I know DBP is the 'signature' R colour, but I think it lends itself more to being a target for thieves/idiots than black, silver, etc...
BTW, how does a standard R32 feel compared to a standard MKV GTI, in 'everyday' driving - if you remember that far back!?
Anthracite on the refurb, ftw.
-
i honestly cant remember the mk5 as std, it had a remap and springs in the first week! :signLOL: It puts the power down instantly, launching at 5k rpm is always going to put a smile on my face! :driver:
What i will say is that my brief encounter with a CTR has made me realise how bad the golf's handle in comparison.

Here is my 'new' .:R32, first impressions are good, low down torque and power is good and it carrys on pulling. Nothing compared to my last beast but with the addition of a super charger :drool: itl be like a foooookin rocket. I also keep finding myself making excuses to go out for a drive :rolleye: which i didnt really like doing in my mk5 incase it 'broke' :grin: Oh and average round town mpg is 19 :signLOL: motorway sat at 70 will do 32mpg.
Oh dear was it not realiable then? :signLOL:
Anyway my old car was a MK3 vr6 supercharged and that used to fly and only had 290bhp, a mate had a R32 engine with charger and that had about 400bhp - awesome!!!! :drool:
looking forward to seeing this build project!!! :happy2:
-
ARB's made a huge difference to mine, even more than the coilovers.
Definitely one of the best sounding cars I ever owned!!! :driver:

that looks awesome, exactly how i want mine!! you have any bits left over?? :laugh:
what coilovers did you have? think im going to just put H & R springs on and ARB's :party:
-
All the modifications went with the car when I sold it in 2007.
It's a few cars ago but I think it ran a mixture of Bilstein struts and H&R springs. Best investment was the APR 3" zorst - sounded like a baby Lambo!!! :evilgrin: Also, I had it remapped which gave about a 5bhp gain but raised the rev limit and changed the power delivery - doesn't sound much but it made it soooooo much nicer to drive. Also fitted a CAI which gave it about 12bhp - did a before and after on the dyno - saw it in other R32's as well so a genuine increase. 19" CHs looked mega but were half inch too wide at the front and they caught a little on lock.
All in all an epic car, loved it to bits. Only sold it when I bought a Mk5 R32!! :smiley:
-
cheers for the info! :happy2:

The mk5 is an awesome car, the best i have ever owned. But the R is 'special' imo, especially the mk4. You will love either one you get, but since owning the r23, i havnt looked back at my mk5 :chicken:
