June 16, 2008: R32's first time in the shop permalink →
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.
May 24, 2008: R32 gets a face lift! permalink →
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!
November 14, 2007: First thing happens to the R permalink →
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
November 12, 2007: 5K Done Today! permalink →
Well, finally I have reached 5k miles on my R. That service reminder from an owner stand point does make me kinda nervous when I see it come up and when I know I can get it done. Well another 5k miles and we can do it again!
November 04, 2007: The R breaks into show business permalink →
A lot of folks were interested in knowing what it sounded like to remove the resonator from the exhaust system. Well I made a movie just for those people. I've had good, I've had bad reviews. The video doesn't do it full justice since the sound quality (like any non-movie making camera).
October 28, 2007: Denver GTG permalink →
Probably one of the last GTG of the season in Denver. Shot a couple pictuers of the hoo-ride.
One last shot of another MKV R32 with a MKIV R32.
October 17, 2007: KW's are finally on permalink →
Got the KW's put on they ride awesome except for one thing. The 19"s will not fit with the suspension on the car, with no one in the car you can get a piece of paper between the fender and the wheel. Someone in the car and the wheel sits on the inside of the fender.
The photoshop favorite picture. Ask me before using my picture you damn scavengers. :P

October 17, 2007: The R getting prep'd for the V3's permalink →
Found a picture on my iPhone of the R32 in the air getting prepped to have the KW V3's installed on the beasty.
