....I don't blame you. It would be a hard car to follow and you've got it modded well for trackdays  :happy2:

Just let me know when/if, please.

Love the seats.

Any pictures of the F40 brakes and did they go on ok and you managed to keep your offset?

Also I was shocked to see the R32 calipers are left blue by VW.

I had wondered about this the other day as I had powder coated mine.

I tell you, Chris, if I hadn't got my GTI before the V6 R32 Mk5 was launched I would have bought a DSG red one and have modified it very like yours. As a personal ride I think it's probably my favourite car on this forum.

I've always had a R32 itch, Joe. I was serious when I investigated a swop and borrowed a Mk5 when it first came out and tested it back-to-back over a set road course with my GTI. However, much as I love the V6 soundtrack it didn't feel so tactile and drank petrol like it was going out of fashion!

A close friend of mine (BIALI boy Dan) has a great Mk4 R32 which I have driven occasionally and on Milltek it's awesome!  :notworthy: :notworthy:

Too late now but I reckon I would have bought one if available earlier and in those pre-forum days I didn't know it was coming.

little update:

r888 have been on now for a week or two and they are awesome combined with the 4wd and kw v3 the car sails round corners and stupidly fast speeds :). After a conversation with kate at jkm i will be dropping it off tomorrow for the week to have my miltek manifolds/ cats installed along with the big brake kit and hopefully stage 2 revo map which im looking forward to a bit more noise. I am looking at doing a few track days this summer if anyone has some good suggestions as to where to do my very first track day i would appreciate it.
