I had to go through your post history to make sure it really was you! Haha!

I have learned to turn a wrench! But working 9AM to 9PM daily doesn't leave much time for that. Not does not having tools and living in an apartment, haha.

It's been a while! You've gone all MIA :(

If you need an assistant to move to HK and do your evil bidding for you just ask. :wink:


Srsly though, looks like a fun project and you're off to a great start man. Don't go overboard. Aftermarket sways make a big difference. Wish I could have your stock FSB though. I needs it.

No overboard.

After this round of mods, along with Intake/Exhaust/Tunes, it's going to stay like that.

UM should be working on a flash for the MKV R32 Haldex, if not, I'll grab the Haldex Controller, and that should really be it.

Some LED Tails, Exterior/Interior LEDs, and maybe a Headunit, and then that's about it. Car doesn't need anything else.

Additional work to the motor costs quite a fair bit, like a Turbo or SC.

New tires though maybe, after my Toyos get worn out. Maybe some PSS, but I still can't get over that gorgeous square sidewall on the AD08Rs.

HPA sent my shop the wrong handbrake cable. Won't arrive until sometime next week. Figured since there was some extra time, and I was/am in no hurry at all to get the car back, I'd order some other stuff and get it installed to save some Alignment/Installation money.

Superpro LCA & Anti-Lift Kit



Superpro Roll Center Kit



Passat .:R36 OEM Aluminum Spindle

Definitely! Will have some pictures by the end of next week when I pick up the car. I'm out of town for work during the middle of the week anyways, which is perfect. Allows the shop to take their time, :thumbsup:

Also, nice little surprise at work today, FedEx apparently does Saturday Deliveries here!

Received my Proclip USA Cell Phone Mount along with the iOMounts iOAuto Pro!

Real nice piece! Dont have to worry about the crappy phone mount I have now. Makes it easier to see the GPS and music and what-not :biggrin:

Updates I promised. IMGUR doesn't work in China, haha.

Had the front pads replaced due to squeaking and them wearing unevenly with some new HPA Compound ones. Also fixed a chip in the windshield to prevent it from cracking!

Picking up the car on Saturday afternoon! :biggrin:

UM ECU/DSG Tunes are also ready. Will be flashing it this upcoming week too! :happyanim:

Keeping it tame.

Getting too tired of stuff breaking, and having hassles. No more replacing parts, just doing it once, and doing it right, :thumbsup:

It's coming! Scorpion Exhaust is en-route.

Debating if I want a USP Motorsports Test-Pipe w/ HFCs though, or just leave it.

Thinking of boosting the R32, need to figure out what's useable, lol.

Boosted R is tame? i like your idea of tame :iono: :thumbsup:
