U.S. R32 Registry

Intermittently I've noticed the downshift button on my steering wheel not working. Decided to have it serviced today to address this. My tech found a fault stored for intermittently communication lost to the switch itself. Put a new one in. Everything is good now!

Couple pictures of the culprit!

Long day out in the sun! Awesome day! Took first place in the R32 catagory. I have taken home a throphy from DATR the last 4 years, but this year finally took home a 1st place trophy. Last year taking 2nd place (since the R32 turn-out wasn't that great).

Got my Milltek exhaust FINALLY from Stratmosphere. Had it installed and it is awesome. Actually quieter than the stock exhaust with the resonator removed. But all-around better sounds.

Got a wild hair and wanted to see what the OE rims would look like painted white. Got some dupli-color wheel paint. Man was it a pain in the ass to get it all handled. Came out ok, not 100% happy with it, plannin on getting them powdercoated here soon.

Friend Andy and I finished up the longboard today and it looks frickin sweet! I'm still a little sketchy on the board but getting use to it.



Andy does awesome work with the board and the metal base insert for support (You know how big dudes are :P ) He calls them scallops which I think is pretty funny, yet fitting at the same time. Gotta love the engine turn trim.

Had the 10,000 Mile service performed today. Remember if you can use BG products in your car DO!! 44k, MOA and Quik Klean are saviors.

Well I had the R32 in the dealership today to get the front strut mounts and bearings replaced, to correct a binding sound in the steering at a stop or slow speeds. Also, to get the B-pillar trim piece replaced for being a bit wobbly. Also had the unholy grill installed today as well. Happy days!!! That same night toy'd around with a friend who's buddy has a 1000bhp Mustang that was passing through town, so had to hang out with them.

So after messing up my original bumper putting in the S6 LED lights. Got a new bumper put on, decided to take it a step further and have the sidemarkers shaved and have the bumper cut to fit the LED lights..

Completed the Cold Air Intake that I've been working on for almost the last month. Using 3" stainless steel tubing and an ITG 3" Cone filter, incorperating Siliconeintakes.com couplers. The butt dyno gives it the thumbs up!

So going to lunch today my "bulb out light" comes on. My inner right brake light/taillight bulb is burnt out. Eeerrr. Good thing ALL bulbs are under warranty for 12mo/12k
