Hey guys,
just bought a black mk4 r32 with 60000kms on the odometer,
Im about to install the following mods,
VF mounts
sachs clutch/single mass flywheel
h&r swaybars
kw v3s
competition haldex controller
all the gruvenparts bits
quaife front lsd
pelloquin rear lsd
i kinda wanna go turbo but i dont wanna go stand alone management. i live in australia and i think i might have a problem getting a kit with programs for 98RON fuel, and im not sure if my RHD car will perfectly fit the kits designed for LHD. does anyone out there have any experience with this stuff...
pic for views, cheers

That's the best manual you're going to get for it.. Covers everything except the engine and tranny pretty much...

Good luck, if you're doing all those upgrades to your transmission you should go Turbo!!!! get a short shift kit as well.
Good choice on the v3's! they're amazing

Re: (DuBR32G)

in looks yes, in reality nope

in australia we were only blessed with 200 of these fine machines, all RHD
100 black ones
50 silver
50 blue
mine is number 89
we got the euro bumpers and engine spec
we also got the xenons and seat heating etc,
but we got a crappy monroe suspension package and no sunroof.
cant wait to turn this thing into a monster!

Re: (Basil Fawlty)

I got a set of Toyo R1Rs for the street and some R888s coming for track use
gonna wait til my front brakes are completely smashed then then replace them, was talked out of getting the porsche 911 kit, looking at using an endless system, and until i start dialing in big power i just got EBC green stuff pads on oem everything....
the car stops really well from factory anyway, even with ****ty tyres, keeping them from fading is the only issue
