SUGA's R32 Golf
Photography by Kevin Yiu (http://kevin-yiu.com)


JDMST: She's got a thing for white cars (the Golf is her 3rd), she's got an opinion on Japanese vs. European cars (she doubts she'll ever go back), she's invested in some hard Japanese modifications for this European car ($7k Kreissieg Exhaust anyone?) and she's the founder of VWGolf.net.au (http://www.vwgolf.net.au) - An Australian Volkswagen Golf Forum (which she's absolutely obsessed with). Without further adieu, Christina's R32.

lol Babs!

After owning the Integra and MX5 ( which I loved!) and going through millions of Japanese cars with Justin, the first thing I noticed with this Euro is it's build quality, especially in the interior. Plastics are thick, leather quality superb and just an overall solid feel which I love. It is true, I don't think I could ever go back but I still love Japanese styling and tuning and that's why I have gone for this Japanese styled Euro car!




Very Nice!!

Definitely thinking about getting Recaro's! It's already on my to do list!

Holy shit indeed!! The smile this exhaust puts on my face every day isn't priceless! lol
I can't say there is another exhaust out in market for the R32 that gives a sound anywhere close to this one - I have ear orgasms every time I drive my car.
And how could I not fall for those stunning titanium tips! I could afford it so I bought it, you only live once right? :)



Super sharp photos!

I love your car Christina... and oooh have to hear this exhaust in person haha.

Videos and sound clips do not give this exhaust any justice - AT ALL!

Don't know which seats you have, but weren't the optional sports seat for the R32 allready made by Recaro?

From memory they are called Recaro Sportster CS with airbag, you can also get the non airbag variant.

Awesome R32! Any plans to get those Recaros?

Now that's an interesting observation......*taps pen on desk, then leans fwd, palms open to empathise with interviewee*......what are your thoughts on the dynamic differences between the euro and japanese flavours?

To be honest, videos don't do this exhaust justice. The tone of this exhaust is high pitched and the video camera doesn't capture it. Here's a video that Kreissieg made which sounds pretty close to how it actually sounds in real life.

And here's a fun little video of a tunnel Run I did with a few of the Golf boys:

Yup here is one!

Love the R32!
any more planss??


No more big plans, just a few little things here and there ( that's what I keep telling myself). I've just ordered some Ceramic Brake Pads, hopefully that will solve my brake dust issue and also an engine torque arm insert. I've also been thinking about doing a GIAC tune but just can't justify the price for it.
It's a perfect street car, apart from the fuel consumption! I'll leave all the stripping and track spec mods to Justin's GTI ;)

An update with SUGA:

Some new goodies arrived for me from BagRiders this morning. Super fast delivery, ordered this 23rd and last week and arrived today!
Big thanks to Jordan (http://jordandonnelly.com/) for putting me in contact with Rali at BagRiders.com. Rali is excellent to deal with, he is so helpful and took the time to explain to me all my different options.

http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6137/5983255794_7da804126f_o.jpg

So yes, I'm giving the bags a go! I've been thinking about it forever and decided to take the plunge and just do it.
I've gone with the Air Lift Slam fronts and Air Lift performance Rears. Installation booked in for next week so sit tight :)

PS: New wheels are on the way too but I won't be expecting them for another 2 months or so.

No frame-notch needed for the driveshafts?

SUGA
08-08-11, 10:41 PM
No frame- notching needed at this point, the kit is designed for the R32 so it should be pretty sweet. I haven't seen the car in action yet so if I'm not happy with the height I will consider notching the frame.

More updates to come soon, hopefully I get the car back this Wednesday :)

Justin Fox
09-08-11, 04:05 PM
OK got to say I'm as excited as Christina is now! Just got back from TOP ONE and damn the system is AMAZING. It's killer fast due to the fatter lines we optioned for the kit. Just as fast going up as it is down, so fast it's kinda scary! The compressor is loud, but not too loud, the sound of air releasing in the boot is pretty loud and freaky first time around as well.

I took it lower than Dedy had initially just to see how bad it was at the front but the rub isn't all that bad. A thinner tyre will fix it easy. Even with more aggressive offset and a stretched tyre it should be AOK (rim won't touch, it's all in the tyres).

Onto the photos (video coming soon as YouTube is in maintenance mode atm).


http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6141/6024288063_208071039d_o.jpg
All installed. Audio installation guy has been contacted, he will commence work on hiding all this gear this week.

http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6189/6024288377_4033f8a6f2_o.jpg
Not set the setting yet so I was using the up and down on both right hand side buttons. 1, 2 and 3 will allow for all the way down setting for parking. 2 will be drivable setting and 3 will be for all the way up (can go a little higher than stock!).

The 235 wide tyre is rubbing up against the front bumper. A 215 tyre, or even a 225 would fix this no worries.

LOL Anth, seriously have no idea how they get chassis rails down to the ground on the 4WD R32. I've heard of people cutting out the tunnel to lift up the driveshaft?! That sounds crazy to me... CRAZY!!!!!

No chance to drive it as there's so much stuff hanging loose in the boot, one spirited corner and I could have potentially imploded.

was talking to felix about this today. to get this thing real low, be expected to dig deep!

looks the goods though. how fast does it take to dump the car on its guts? also how long for the tank to fill up?

Serious? I know guys do that with older cars (slice the tunnel and raise it up a bit, welding in a strip of metal to fill the gap), but that's with live-axel cars where the diff moves up and down with the suspension. I would have thought the R32 would have IRS and the driveshaft wouldn't move, sounds interesting though I might read up on it *heads to vwvortex*
