My R32
This my Reflex Silver R32 which is #190 of 200.
The car is currently stock except for a couple of very minor mods. In the future I hope to upgrade the suspension and reflash the ECU for a few extra
KW's.
It is driven daily and has been to the race track couple of times......great fun
Cheers
Dave.

Thanks for the compliments guys.
The twin turbo kit puts out 550hp I think, it was developed in Germany for an American company.
In Australia they are 3 door only, in Europe and the UK 5 door R32's are available. Only 10,000 were built, Australia got 200, (actually 199 as one
fell off a boat) USA got 5000 and rest were Europe, Japan and the UK.
Alex Holzl, I have seen your car in the VWA mag, quite a beast and probably quicker than the R32.
Lams, one day I am gonna get my hands on your car and it will be clean too:thumb
Cheers
Dave.

Great stuff Dave, love the look of the R32's. Very nice acquisition! You may have had a chat to them already but Guy and Paul et al at Harding
European are well versed in all the water pumper mods and improvements (Audi, VW etc). They were my main source of parts/info before they shifted
focus to water cooled cars.
Once again, great car!

Damn, I'm jealous... Nice ride. Whack some eyelids on that beast and you can frighten people BEFORE ya show em the tailpipe...
got stuck in traffic in western sydney last year next to a Jazz blue R32 while in my little green golf. never been more pleased to have a traffic jam,
just so i could hear it running and view it from several angles....
the only thing better than a new VW is an old VW! ;-) :-D

These R32's are sweet as. I saw a blue one in Fremantle last year with a nice shiny stainless steel (aftermarket I assume) exhaust - he gave it a
blat up the street, and without lying, the exhaust note was right up there with 355 Ferrari's in the 'Spine Tingling' stakes.
Very nice.
My yuppy little brother is still waiting (March delivery apparently) for his latest model TDI golf - I wonder if he'll let me have a drive......

That Blue R32 belongs to a mate of mine, Al Walker he has done some nice mods and is the reason why I purchased mine. I had a 2001 Passat 1.8T with
suspension, ecu upgrades, new wheels etc and Al dragged to a dealer to look at the silver R32...........the rest is history.
As for the trade.......can I think about it?
The twin 2.5" exhaust and that lovely note is standard, I have been known to walk to the garage, start the car, give it a rev, turn if off and go
back to the TV with a huge smile !!!!!!!
Thanks for the compliments guys.
Cheers
Dave

Hey,
i know exactly what you are talking about when people praise the R32. I was lucky enough to go over one from top to bottom inside and out @ the
bendigo VW dealership. THe vehicle was only about for a few days and has not been seen since. It was a demo model with a mere 2000km's on the clock.
God damn they are a lovely car. The fit and finish is definatly up there with the finest (BMW and the 3 pointed star) - and no i dont mean
Mitsubishi!
nice work, look after it :thumb

Its an obsesion for engines and fuel....  |

Damn I guess I forgot to put a "&" so my post read:
suspension & ecu upgrades.
In fact the Beetle suspension is probably better than the Passat was in standard form as it was crap !!!
