  • Ben's .:R32

    Hello StanceWorks!

    My name is Ben, I'm 16 years old and I'm from Bend, Oregon.
    I drive an R32 on bagz and on rotaz. HIN.

    This is my first car (that I can drive on the road legally).



    And it's already been ruined


    But it wasn't my first first car, so I'll give a brief history of what got me here:
    When I was 7, or 8, or however old enough to not know the slightest about a manual transmission other than when you move it the car goes faster and my mom didn't know how to make them go at green lights; my dad bought one of these:

    Oh god was that thing a pile of shit
    I called it "The Booger Truck"

    it was our ranch truck and in it I learned how to drive a stick at the ripe age of 8
    That sucked.

    later on down the road I adopted the truck because no one liked it and it was lonely.
    I was dumb and decided to learn how to go full oppo lock for long periods of time on dirt
    Then I got in a lot of trouble because I crashed it into a fence one winter, sideways.

    I needed more speed than the rusty old booger so when my family moved to Oregon we sold the truck and my dad bought me one of these:

    granted mine wasn't a shifter, but it still scared the hell out of me

    I raced for 2 years around the area, but mainly up at PARC (pat's acres) I did alright for a newb and had a few #1's
    Then a fellow karter died during qualifying one race, so my mama sed no mo' racin'.

    So I gave up karting and focused on school
    School sucked so I started saving up money to buy a car when I was a grown' ignorant teenager.

    Then I became a grown ignorant teenager and had some money to buy a car
    Always loved european cars, needed all wheel drive so I was stuck between VW and Audi.
    Considering I can't grow facial hair yet, and only men are allowed to drive Audis I got a VW because testosterone

    Bought an R32 and it looked like this:

    Ew

    Then it became this:



    I didn't like the wheels because they were big and ugly and gheyboi flat black, I also did't like that even though my coilovers were low, the 19's made my car look skyjacked.
    I also live on a dirt road so coilovers suck, so I sold em' (and maybe a motorcycle too?) and bought some bags and some management. Sold the wheels too.

    I bought some staggered Rota Grids with the $$$
    wheel snobs H A T E them so I wanted to make them mad.

    Then I had the guys down at The FitGarage (check them out!) lay out the wiring, lines, and sensors, and after that I went and notched the frame and installed the struts and bags.

    Seriously check out The FitGarage, great guys and they do bombass-shit.

    So now I can do winter stuff and drive on my own road without crying
    and my car can get awkward with the ground





    So that's my brief (long) hello! I'm looking forward to being part of the stanceworks community! I've got my nomex on

    that looks so right... welcome. I learned to drive on a silver R32
    Hatchbacks, wagons... It's NOT all the same. You want in? Don't get a mazda 3, get a mazda 6 wagon. Don't get a wrx get a legacy wagon. and theres a reason the A3 isn't called the A3 avant... Scion does not make a wagon it makes a weird van, but no wagons

    Sincerely,

    P.S. Is your tail a wagon?

    Show cars are lame.

            Thank you! Yeah, she's my baby; she was an opportunity that was too good to pass up.

            idunno, I really like the staggered look on these cars.

            Headlights are euro housings retro'd with MK5 backplates painted to body color, custom turn signals, and custom projectors.

                      Why roastfest? Wheels are lame, but car is super clean and extremely tasteful for anyone, but especially a 16 yo. I'm sure he'll see the light soon enough and start lusting after some legit wheels.

                      First time seeing headlights like that on a mk4. They look excellent and do a great job of updating the front end.

                        Looks legit, when I was 16 I had red neons under my seats so props on a tasteful .:R at a young age! Having said that, you can appreciate nice wheels without being a snob imo, its just robbing this thing of its potential.

                            No real reason to unless I was pushing way more horsepower or was going for all-out handling. It's just a look either way.

                            Oh believe me I've been lusting after wheels even before I bought this set, I just don't have the funds to buy a set that I really really like, even used. But I'm getting there. Went with rotas because they were cheap and unique on these cars.

                            Appreciate it! I saw some other retros but none of them really did it for me. Had to go custom.

                            Thank you. Agreed, see above. I like my wheels, but this thing will cycle through wheels like CIA at a colombian whorehouse.

                            Rali, thank you. Your car as one of the ones that inspired me to do this!
