Jonnymooshoo's VW MK4 R32 Turbo

[P78]

already took it down for you

[Dremetos]

Probably didn't experience the "Honda advertised Civic Nation warm welcome" or whatever because it was an off the lot base model (assuming (see:fuelconsumptionconcerns)). Gotta put in effort to get results lol.

Nice R32.

I like the interior best! But those wheels look pretty superb too! Like!

So I've sold the R... and after a long project that took me 4 years to complete I considered "settling down" with a stock car and over the past couple of weeks have been going back and forth between e46 M3's, Audi S5's and porsche 996's. I've always been a fan of e30's but they're so hard to find in good shape. It wasn't till a friend sent a craigslist ad my way yesterday till I knew I had to jump on this car.

I messaged the owner last night as I was leaving for a business trip today. He had six people lined up to view the car on a wet rainy Saturday so I knew I had to jump on it quick. I rushed to the bank on my way to the airport and left money with a trusted friend to make an offer for me if everything checked out.

Now here she is, my minty fresh '91 318is. for 300,000km on the car it's in great condition. It vibrates a little on idle and the seat bolsters need replacing but that will be addressed in good time.. with a little help from my friends and hopefully from a few of you.

My plans for the car are to fix up the interior, wheels, and stance. Most likely there will be an engine swap in a year or two. (LS1, S54, 2JZ?)

And the last couple of shots of the R before I sold her.

r32 was so nice. Those last two shots are awesome did you shoot those yourself? What do you shoot with?

Also if you don't mind me asking what did your car run in the 1/4?
