We have been waiting a long time for this.
You’re looking at a vr6 with a big boy turbo. This will be going in a 2004 r32 6sp manual AWD car.
I started taking this car apart in late 2020, then she spent a lot of time at the body shop. Some good, and some bad, luckily the boys at everything euro saved the day.

This is so awesome! As part of the deal with my Golf R(RsR?) going to @semashow was a poster collab with @originalKONI If you’re going to Sema come by the Koni booth Tuesday am and you can score an 11x17 poster limited to 150!
But if you can’t make Sema, we have an 18x24 for sale over at 8380! The 18x24 is so amazing. And if you really want to level up, there is an option for me to sign it. Which I’m incredibly honored by.(sorry no Paul install option. He’s a slacker) there are only 100 of the 18x24 so if you want one, I’d jump on it. Well actually 99 because I’m getting one haha.
This is the first time I’ve done something like this. If it goes well, for sure I’ll do more rad stuff like this 🤞🤞🤞

This blows my mind.
I’ve been driving this r32 daily for a few months. And let’s be honest by most every measure it’s just a dusty mk4. Now don’t get that twisted I love this car. I really do. But at the end it’s a 230k 20 year old VW.
But even this one that has no clear coat, dirty, kinda gross wheels, missing badges and all, gets more attention than any car I’ve ever owned. More random 👍 thumbs up, more waves, more “Hell yes” from random people in random not vw cars. None of that ever happened in my blue r32, my mk8, my yellow R, the purple R I had for a minute none of them.
It’s so wild to me in the coolest way possible. The r32 is a pretty iconic car far outside of the VW community. And I think that’s pretty damn cool. 😎

Well I mostly did what I set out to do. Finish the R for Wookies in the Woods.
The R isn't totally finished. I have some coding/programming things still to work through. But I did drive it, and I did hit Tail of the Dragon a couple times.
IF you have been following, you know my thoughts on air ride. While I dont think I can give full feedback yet, I can say.. I don't hate it. There is some tuning that needs to happen to get it better. Im actually pretty optimistic about that.
Finally on the body kit. I know some of you love it. Some of you hate it. I think thats awesome. The fact that we all like different things is one of the fun things about cars. Doing this body kit was WAY out side my normal OEM+, keep it factory vibe. That was the point.
Thank you all for following the series. And you haven't seen the last of this lil banana LOL

Lot of you asked how finished the car is.
Well this was Tuesday at 10am. Worked into the wee hours of the morning, and I’m a lot less finished than needed to be. It was one of those days where everything just went wrong 🤣🤦♂️
It’s going to be another long day, but hopefully the car gods are on my side today.
I have to bring the car back to the bodyshop complete tomorrow!
Video drops Sunday 😳😳😳

Which wheels do you like better?
Wheels are such a hard thing for me. Wheels look good on paper and awful on the car, or vice versa!!
I’m not sure either will be the final choice. What are some other options that would be sick on the golf???
Episode 4 ALL ABOUT MODS, drops tomorrow 10:30 am eastern.
