the car started life as a 2.8l vr6 4motion with every option apart from sat nav. at some point somebody hit a rock and smashed the sump off the motor it got written off as cat d.
the previous owner to me bought it and a scrap r32 golf then proceeded to swap everything mechanical apart from the brakes
ie engine wishbones steering rack suspension arbs etc i bought it from him like that about 12 months ago
iv got some updates iv ordered a set of ecs stage 5 brakes these have 355mm 2 piece disks and porsche cayene 6 pot callipers and are ****** huge!

mods so far are
kw v3 suspension
nuespeed front and rear arbs
3 strut braces
poly bushes thoughout
75% reduced throw gearshift
race haldex controller (far more aggressive than stock and goes full 50/50 torque split also works off throttle position not just wheelspin)
boost gauge oil temp and oil pressure gauge
dubpower prototype big bore and port matched 6 branch exhaust manifold
full custom 3" exhaust system with big bore custom decat pipe
carbinio induction kit (makes it sound a little like the 12v vr6 which is a very good thing)
18" oz superleggeras with 245 40 18 potenza s02 (225/35/18s in the pic)
