Hedge's new whip

Janner_Sy · April 25, 2010, 03:27:26 PM

it'd have to be the 30/70 split, that would be awesome

^^^^
I'd have to ask the friend who had the car (he's now got a Porsche - Take special note, Hedge). I've lost touch with the other guy. But APS would know for certain.

All I remember was that it made the Mk5 R32 feel much more fun with a tad of very correctable understeer.

don't think the controller is cheap tho but from what i've heard it absolutely transforms the way the 4WD R32 drives!

....Which is exactly why I suggested it

Around 6-700 squid I think, but one of the few simpler mods to do to a R32 and with very rewarding returns in the joy department.

It's all very well considering expensive turbo's and superchargers etc to willy-wave the power but useless without driveability/handling.

APS (Ed) are good peeps to ask more detail about it.

the r32 isnt 4wd

its front wheel drive, the haldex moves the power to the rear when the car gets squirrelly, how much power depends on which haldex your using

Spot on

and as Vc has said dont map its a waste of money as i found out with my mk4 r32 as they make about 5bhp from a map and the best is when firms like aps claim 300bhp from full exhaust,cams and intake

i never seen one make over 280bhp and thats some money to throw away for about 30bhp

nice car mate , if i went back to a golf would deffo be an R32 with all the toys , recaro s etc

gazbutS3 · April 25, 2010, 05:25:54 PM

I also have a DSG R32 with recaros in deep blue pearl itch that will need scratchin at some point

looks nice mate!!! congrats

Looking good Hedge, can't wait to hear the noise once you've stuck the intake on

. Me thinks a meet at one of the Hostelries in Berks / Hants area is in order one evening. To enjoy the evening chorus

I would have loved a blue one and was sorely tempted but they were all a bit older than the one I bought.

You guys spending my money

I don't need any help chaps, the exhaust was ordered before I even had the car.
