Nice write up :happy2:

Question about changing from MFD2 to RNS tho, are you having the infamous battery drain issue?

Hey, luckily for me as I already had a highline unit in there I am experiencing no power drain issues, will update and let you know if I do!


Does your RNS play copied DVDs or only originals?

So far I have only tried originals, but I believe that copied dvd's dont work right?

19 with an R32, think I had an escort! Is insurance a killer?

Haha it really is, but I guess that's what happens when you choose to keep such a high risk car at such a young age lol , road tax hurts more though, £505.00 a year for nothing!

Nice one. I still think Rns510 is the best mod that I done too.

Definitely agree, I am literally in love with the unit!

Anddddd, a small update!

Finally got my custom cat back system done, the car sounded beautiful before but I just wanted a bit more of a raspy note along with better tips (as I love the placement of the tips on the R32, but the OEM ones just looked too small and I hated that they weren't slash cut tips!)

Anyhow, here is my car before:




And after, I am very much in love with the new slash cut tips and the bigger size too :








The work was done by a local exhaust shop near where I live in London called Fast Lane Styling, they have done around 4-5 of my cars and honestly I could never fault their work. They are very friendly and professional and their prices are also very fair, would definitely recommend to anyone looking for an exhaust system in the London area.

That's all for now guys, hopefully more updates soon!

Haha cheers


Small update, so I sold my Golf R style alloys which originally came on the car when I purchased it, I've never really been the 'black on black' type of person and was really after some alloys that stood out a bit more. But long story short, I sold my alloys and my car was basically on axle stands at my local garage waiting for a pair of new shoes and I needed something urgently, I'm still not too sure on these, they were a bit of an impulse buy, so for now I guess we'll call them 'temporary wheels'




And the new alloys:








I think they're gorgeous alloys but not sure if they really suit the car, opinions please?

And that's all for now

Nice ride dude. Not my favorite wheel for the g5platform but maybe with a lowered stance it may look better. Keep it up

Damn - you either need to go UBER low (but you're in London so I wouldn't) or get some new shoes :P

Awesome looking ride  :happy2:
