Some pictures from a meet yesterday, grabbed all ones of mine and a few with my mates clio trophys

Car definately has a lot more weight over back end now so will need to adjust the coilovers on the back up a bit lol & also splitter wasnt on in the pics due to taking it off for the so called snow this winter









And surrounded by trophys












And a few when i got back home

Exhaust is ear porn hinny xx

[Predator_R32p]

Sounds so much better out the car even at low revs hehehehe

[Nick_j_r]

What are the running costs mate? Lovely r32, I'd love one!!

[Predator_R32p]

well i put £40 worth of vpower in a week but thats to go to work and back and college and to the girlfriends house i only do about 100 mile a week maybe a bit more so running costs of fuel could very easily go up, i usually will only get 24 mpg on a good run highest ive seen is about 34mpg and when having fun about 16 - 19mpg

Parts i get at trade price and i do everything myself, tax i pay 260, service cost for all filters, oil and plugs is about 100, tyres are about 70 - 120 a corner for decent tyres

Not all that bad, the noise just makes it all worth it though

[Nick_j_r]

Everything other than the fuel cost is ok, I do about 250 miles a week :/

[timmythechef]

Not that bad at all then really.

I was looking at a Golf Edition30, may just happen.

[Predator_R32p]

it not that bad on fuel, im wanting an evo next and thats much much worse

I only run it on v power now, tryed normal 95 for a month and felt sluggish, and also with vpower i find you get a bit more to a tank so kind of evens out the cost between the 95 and 99 octanes

Go for an edition30 mate i love them keep up with mine no problem it is a turbo'd car though

[timmythechef]

I'm torn between keeping the A3 and saving for a convertible 1 series 130 though

You had yours dyno'd?

My mate in his stripped,caged & cam'd 172 and had a little blast the other day, kept mine in 6th and he was a goner, not bad for a one and half tonne derv

[Predator_R32p]

Yeah just the weight that ruins VAG cars mate

id say keep the A3 lol convertible seriously??

Ive not had her on one yet but going to before i get decat on then after with decat and remap

[timmythechef]

Went up to London to collect another set of rims day before yesterday with a lad who had a classic mini, he reckons the door weighs the same as all his door and boot put together.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of the 5 doors, but the coupe is just

You got a time scale to doing that, or just when it happens?

[Predator_R32p]

Coupes are nice but only have one in white and the M one

Yeah can quite well believe the weight of the door being more than mini doors lol

Time scale not really just when it happens, ill be doing the rest of the poly bushes and H&R antiroll bars next, actually not much left that i want to do really

Andrew's trophy looks far better than Leeroys!

Fair doo's Ste it looks spot on now! Can't wait to here it at Trax this year if your down. I might be able to keep up with you lot then haha and hopefully I'll have the supercharger on!

[blackvtrt]

Looks nice, liking the slight camber. Personally id deffintley loose the rub strips off the sides and the rear wiper. The car has some nice round lines and for me these two things break them up to much.
Then maybe some lupo mirriors or mk5 golf ones and get rid of the side repeaters as there in the mirrors. At the back id loose the r32 badge, then maybe the vw one or change the boot latch/handle to one off a polo i think? where the badge is the boot handle. Last thing would be a audi door handle conversion, but thats the clean freak in me!

[blackie_2k5]

Cars like this shouldn't be fettled with too much, ruins the character of the car

Lol slight camber was more with standard tie bars, still have to have a bit so it doesnt catch

You certainly have a lot of ideas mate, lupo mirrors i may do but the rest i wont lol r32 mirrors are a bit smaller than other mk4 models actually but lupo ones are even smaller, thing is i like the mirrors as they are and makes her look much wider

Im doing car body repair at college but its a 11300 pound car and i dont want to change anything on it styling wise, just the splitter to go back on and i want to respray the front bumper

very true mate, will more than likely lose money if i do too much on it, most people who want an r32 ask for it to have a milltek and coilovers at least

[jimbo06]

The car is mint dude i love it, sounds foooking awesome too! catch up with you soon
