Hey All,
Been on the forums for a few months now. I've gone to a few meets, on an R cruise and a few shows with, so a some of you I've met at least. I haven't done a hell of a lot with the car as of yet but this year I'm planning to start screwing around with it as it's starting to hit the point where I'm going to just stop worrying about any warranty issues and stop making excuses for not spending any cash on it. Anyhow since most of you have posts I thought I'd throw mine up so we can keep track of it.
So here's the story of the car. I've had it since summer 2009. I was at the time driving a 2000 golf TDI, after having that one for about 9 years and driving the **** out of it I was starting to want something new. At the time I wanted on a GTI, speccing them out at dealerships in town. I had my heart set on a white one, pretty much the other end of the golfs from what I had. It wasn't till I really started digging that I found the R32 in Utah, 60 test drive miles on it, warranty was just turned on due to it being last years stock and they wouldn't let it sit on the lot any longer without it. So the warranty carried over fine to Canada and it ended up coming in about 7k cheaper than what GTI was going to run me.
Like I said, I haven't done a hell of a lot with it since getting it. I've installed a VF intake, and put some TSW wheels on it for the summer which I have since fallen out of love with so they'll be switched up in the near future too. At one point I did have some plasti on the front but drove through the prairies with it on and the bugs were being a bit more stubborn than the dip was. I'm hoping to get the thing an ecu tune, and was toying with throwing a milltek or borla on it and some KWs.
Anyhow, that all could fall in the "Cool story, bro". But if anybody has any suggestions they are all welcome. I'll try to keep this as updated as I go along.
Here it is in Salt Lake after picking it up.
Here's the TSW's
