It's roughly €4.2k for an early '03 one

Lovely car alright

 

Very nice car, looks spotless

 

Nice car well wear, would love an R but can't justify the tax!

 

Germans look well on it, they're what caught my eye when I spotted it in carrick.
And the miltek is just plain cool. If I spot you about town I must stop ya for a chat.

 

Nice ride james...
Any of you guys considering a trip to R-Fest Northampton on the 1st Aug....??

 

Cracking car, best colour IMO well wear.

 

Thanks for the comments everyone.
VRT was about 5k the last time I checked and costs over 1.5k a year for road tax!!

@ Shane
237.6 bhp and 216.3 lbft, down a little on standard and definetly not the smoothest torque curve I've ever seen but will be getting that looked after soon enough...

@ yaeger
Don't think I'll be making Northampton, you going over?

James did you dyno it in 2wd or 4wd? im guessing 4wd that would explain the low power and funny torque curve,the haldex sensing slip on the rear wheels and constantly trying to counter act it sending torque all over the place.

4WD, read somewhere that haldex didn't recommend doing dyno runs in 2WD. Got it done with AI Autosport up north who claimed they had no problems with haldex equipped cars and said they could get an accurate result... guess not. Seem more interested in there jap scrap up there anyway

I've never read of a dyno that could accurately handle 4motion cars at least not in this country,i've no problem pulling the fuse for dyno runs - i've done it now for 4 or 5 runs with no issues,it's the only true way to get an accurate power reading from a 4motion car.

 

nice car wouuld love one of these, dont think id be able to keep it goin for to long these days thuo not cheap.
best of luck with it

 

Lovely wagon lad, some sweet liitle mods too. You from Drumshanbo? Seen it about the place from time to time. Watch out for da customs around Carrick lad, da fcukers got me over there before!

 

Savage car lad an the best colour I'll keep playing the lotto

 

Few other bits and pieces that arrived in the post, may give a hint as to whats next...

 

A boost gauge!? Sweet

Lovely car too, deep blue pearl is a gorgeous colour.

 

A boost gauge on an R32,i don't get it..... oh

good man James.

 

Thread titles edited James,well done!!!!

 

After a 1100 mile round trip across the pond I've came back with what could only be described as a complete monster!!!
The spec:
- Rotrex C-Type Supercharger
- Rotrex supercharger pulley
- Rotrex standalone oil kit with cooler
- Unique twin belt system
- Precision multi piece bracket and bearing set
- Supercharger belt, tensioners, pullies, etc.
- Custom fabricated metal intake pipe with multiple taps
- Silicon pipes and fittings
- Set of 6 forged pistons
- Race spec rods
- Uprated bearings
- Set of 6 genuine Bosch uprated fuel injectors
- Set of 6 uprated spark plugs
- Custom intercooler
- Comprehensive custom alloy pipe work
- Custom silicon hoses
- All other required fittings
- Industry leading water/ methanol injection kit
- ECU remapping
- DubPower manifold and decat

All the work was carried out at Storm Developments over the last month and will be spending the next couple of weeks bedding in the new engine. I've only got to 4000rpm and it is scary fast. Boost only comes on after 3500rpm and builds to 7250 redline.
