Nice mate! Congrats.
Looks like its been kept in great condition.
:)

The stubby antenna's are a lot nicer (I think) than the longer stock VW antennas.
Just depends if the original owner bought a decent stubby antenna or a cheap chinese knock off...

These are the good ones (although reception can still be somewhat degraded in remote regions)

Quick update -

Over the last week i have been blasting up and down the hills around kinglake etc to get a feel for the 32's capablities, like most of you (that haven't gone the FI route) I didn't buy the 32 to get massive numbers so my goal is to get a nice balance of GO and handling, needless to say I have been really inspired by Justin's build thread and it has given me so much inspiration :)

Suspension - KW V3: Question for the folks in Melbourne is it cheaper to just source these from OS(if so can you recommend the online retailer) or is there somebody local who can do good prices on these?

Wheels - SSR TYpe-F Euro : I have been stewing over wheels for days!! Trying to find something that looks nice but also reduces unsprung weight. Initially I really really wanted the Advan RZ's as they look really agressive and also drop a sh1t load of weight from stock, however I don't want to step on Justin's toes with that one so I decided on the SSR TYpe-F Euro.
I am however still undecided if i want to go 18x8 (7mm wider than stock @ approx 8.07kg) or 19x8.5 (19mm wider than stock @ approx 8.89kg).

This guy is running 18's but they are a staggered setup using wobble bolts to support 5x114.3
http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6135/6004014983_66493d5f16_b.jpg

This one from the SSR site i believe are like 19's (i could be wrong)

19" for show, 18" for go.

Stick with 18's IMO.
As for KW V3 I believe I saw them on NAmotorsports (U.S. website) for something like $2,299. When you consider shipping cost (they are heavy!) and import tax/duty then I think the saving would be maybe $200 at most over a local supplier which would give you warranty and peace of mind.

towside
17-10-2011, 02:57 PM
Thanks CSR, i tend to agree with you there re sizes 18's are cheaper, weigh less, more range of rubber selection and still look pretty horn as per the pic above :)

Re Coilovers, I completely forgot about import taxes etc that will bump it up and the cost of shipping them.. so yes local might be the way to go. I did a bit of searching on the forum but couldn't really come up with who the best regarded VW specialist in Melbourne.. lots in SYD like ramspeed etc but in Melb not as many. Who do you guys recommend for installation and dialing everything in to my preferences?

Cheers,

Mark.

Not true that there are not as many VW specialists in Melbourne.
Give Lucas a ring at Eurospeed. His website is rubbish but his service / experience is #1. He is also the GIAC distributor.
http://www.eurospeed.net.au/

There's also Fitzgerald Racing (HPA), Volkspower (APR), Evolve Technik...etc


P.S you missed the last meet...We need more R32 representation, don't miss the next one :).

17-10-2011, 06:58 PM
Jig - Thanks mate, i'll going to do my best to document everything as I go.

thezoneR32 - I'll do my very best to outdo you!! hehe :) Those wheels really fill out the arches! nice.. i think i'll need to put some spacers on the SSR's though as they only come in a +50 offset for the 18x8 fitment :(

CSR - thanks again for the advice, getting used to a new manufacturer/tuners is an interesting learning curve i tell you :)

doh! i'll definately be at the next one, would be great to put faces to the names on here.

Ended up going for CSR's KW V3 coilovers, YAY.

So they will be installed once his clubsports land. Wheel shopping continues as i'm still not 100% on the SSR's.

This will be the stance i'll be going for i think when the coilovers go in -

Quick photoshop with SSR's on 18x8 +50, still deciding if i like these or the Advan RZ 18x8 +48 in hyper silver (going for a more track inspired blue/silver theme).

21-10-2011, 05:19 PM
Thanks Jig! looks a lot better than i thought it would, they are still up there with the Advan RZ. Going to wait till the coilovers are on before i get the wheels i think.

26-10-2011, 08:56 AM
So after futher discussions with jdmconcept who sell the SSR's i discovered that the the colour which i photoshoped above isn't avialable in the EURO fitment, they EURO fitment is more a chrome/silver colour, boo!!

So as a result I have just ordered a set of ADVAN RZ's 18x8 in hyper silver :D I have to wait 8-10 weeks for them to come from Japan though.

same as these :

They will look nice. Personally I think that they will look even better if u powder coat them in black...either way good choice in rims

towside
26-10-2011, 09:44 AM
Thanks Sam, after spending that much coin on wheels i don't plan to change the finish on them. I went for silver for several reasons
1. A lot of ppl are running black on Blue now :) so silver is the new black (lol in my mind anyways)
2. The silver matches the OEM grille accent colour which i like :)

silver looks great against the blue on the R32. You should also consider satin silver mirror covers to complete the look.

Those RZ's would defintely look the part. What offset did u end up getting?

towside
29-10-2011, 09:15 PM
Thanks boys, i have been tossing up weither i want to go with the brushed silver mirror covers to match the front end.. we'll see :)

only one offset avaibile in 5x112 in these which is +48, i've never been a fan of spacers but if I'm feeling game i may through a spacer on to make it +35 :D we'll see.

So yesterday i visited RTR with CSR(Clem), Clem got his Clubsports installed and I obtained his like new V3's (RTR were even kind enough to give them a clean for me lol).

Ride height is currently what Clem previously had it at while rebound/dampening is set to the recommened KW spec for the moment. I'll drive it for the next week and see how i feel and take it back for some minor adjustments and maybe some moar low :p

During install -

Just off the Hoist -

About to head off for first drive (Clem's beast in the background) -

http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6033/6384871711_9d6cbb34c8_b.jpg

So intial impression after the install is just WOW.... WOW WOW, did i say WOW?

VERY impressed with how firm they are but still totally drivable day to day, i have had my fair share of TEINS on previous cars and these just stomp them! A drive through the Yarra Valley on teh weay home confirmed it was money well spent!

RTR who did the install - couldn't recommend them enough, they'll be getting more of my business. Also really nice down to earth guys :)

Next mods - Paddle install and rear wiper delete. Advan RZ's still about 4 weeks away :(

Blake....... gloss black wheels on any Deep blue pearl R32 don't look good at all, Gloss black wheels suit UG, BMP and RS. The best combination on DBP I believe is Silver wheels, brushed Aluminium mirror caps and the OEM grille FTW :).

towside
17-12-2011, 08:10 PM
My theme was always going to be silver on blue, if i went gloss black I'd need to do the mirrors and grille and I cbf with that :)

Having said that they don't come in gloss black just gunmetal.

Love those wheels Mark, there on my short list of wheels to get but sprayed in gloss black.

Who said gloss black doesn't look good???
Most people ive talked rekon gloss black suits dbp...

Really just depends on the rest of the cars "theme" i rekon. If u have the silver grill then silver wheels perhaps matches better.
Whereas a black rim is better suited to a black front grill and rear valance.
My opinion anyway...

towside
08-01-2012, 10:25 PM
hey clem, nah not since we were at RTR.. still the same height. Just needs some camber up front as the rears don't scrub anymore since i removed the stock wheels/tyres from the boot haha.

towside
08-01-2012, 10:27 PM
Rob - set to "low" lol, i didn't dial in the height but basically the tyre sits pretty flush with the top of the gaurd. Rebound and dampening are currently at KW factory spec.

CSR
08-01-2012, 10:55 PM
How are you going to get camber? I think if you get the TT-RS alloy arms it adds a bit of camber, look into it I forgot now but was interesting at the time.

Next mods to come will be some EFFING tint!! i'm getting burnt like a kent! i was trying to rock the clean look no tint look...... but i need tint i have decided! I will probably also loose the stickers, not feeling the look really and will just go back to clean and sticker free :)

Thoughts : Great value this mod! As it has been said before feels like your being pushed as apposed to being pulled, and the power out of corners has improved. Thumbs up.

* Installled H&R Rear sway bar (I want to evaluate what it is like just doing the rear first)
Thoughts : 'Turn In' is well night and day difference, love it dialled out most of the undeersteer i used to suffer from.. again thumbs up to this mod!

Next on the list will be
- Upgrade Suspension Bushings
- BBK
- Aftermarket Recaros, possibly delete rear seats.

also, i'm just about to install my GruppeM intake and am worried i won't hear the exhaust. is The intake much louder than the exhaust?

Cheers,
If you want a nice exhaust look at Clem's exhaust...

Hey There,

Nope no tune, and honestly i dont think it worth the $$$ for the marginal gains and rather make it go quicker around corners wtih handling modifications (but thats just me).

I did my intake first and wow did it dominate the stock exhaust!!! but with a non-res Miltek.. TRUST ME you will not hear that intake anymore heheheh :D

oh true, yeah i don't blame you for the handling side of things. i got so much body role last weekend going through tht twisty roads of Mt Tambourine (Qld) shits me to tears!

i'd still like to hear the intake noise, but i do't want it dominating the exhaust...so if i can find a good medium, i'll be happy.

You definitely just introduced me to an item I have been wanting to get sorted for a while. The OEM Audi security bolts are fine, until you upgrade your wheels then you're pretty much skunked. So I know that for you guys JDMyard distributes them, but who is the actual manufacturer of the bolts? Project Kics? Any links to help a brutha out? :)

Trolling 101: Spam other members threads with ridiculous pictures and dumb comments. And say "kent" a lot.

So, I hope you are getting someone good to roll the guards properly. I believe it's always better to assume the 'experts', 'doctors', and panel beaters alike, don't know best. We should be fully researched and armed to tell THEM what to do. That's what the interweb is for.

Maybe take in this diagram illustrating the correct clearance required for a fully functional, yet drop dead sexy rig.
