One more picture from Water by the Bridge, thanks my buddy @mattmaynetf
Daily status engaged. Got a Thule fork mount bike rack for my bike, a used set of OEM carrier bars and I'll be reconditioning them. First custom plate as well. :thumbsup:
So last week we installed new ball joints, tie rod ends, hardware in the suspension along with new struts, springs and strut mounts/bearings.
The car with these B8 sport struts and VWR springs handles a little better - hard not to when the stock suspension had two broken rear springs and a leaking strut. In comparison to my Mk6 GTI this R32 still drives like a pig. I want all the mods that put into the GTI in this thing as well. It's a damn hard thing to have two cars that could be amazing little canyon carvers and yet be so different. I want my 28mm sway bars, full chassis bracing, hard coilovers, and all the rest that make the GTI such an amazing driver that the R32 could be if I had enough money to modify it. Though if I had that amount of money I would probably just want to go straight to a GTX or EFR turbo or something similar. This is partially an addiction isn't it. I've run down the options a hundred different ways and have never come out lower than 10k to do a direct injected VR6 properly. Keep saving and checking and looking, right? Eventually that perfect scenario will come up.
