Slick rick!

I've seen the grommet, but i'd rather have the wiper than the grommet. Do it right or don't do it at all. I think i'll end up smoothing it one day.

Check out VASK Forum (VW Audi SportKlub of NZ) - Index - I'm not on the forum anymore so can't see the trading post but it's in there. Go through a few pages and you'll find it, or search Rallye and it'll be the only one! I can put you in touch with him via facebook if you like.

So the 24v motor seized over the weekend so it's coming out this week. No idea how/why it seized yet until we open it up, but it's time to get on with it and get it running again. On the look out for a Mk4 R32 motor if anyone has one.

bugger mate. There is one in the classified section as a bare refurbed block and head I think??? Check it out

Mmm yeah that'd work, but unfortunately my budget doesn't stretch that far. I can get a complete motor out of the UK for less than that.. I suspect anything in Australia will be out of my reach because supply < demand there, compared to UK anyway.

Bought an R32 motor out of Japan. This should be interesting.

hell yes! this is going to be wicked!

Stand alone management? Or does it come with an ECU?

I have a guru mate here who has the software to load a Viper Tuning R32 map onto my ECU, should be sweet. Will be a nice jump up in power from the BDE motor I had in there.. Even that was a ****load of fun.......

Old motor seized because it obviously bottomed out (I know when it happened now) but I didn't feel it touch at all. Sump kissed the ground when I was going a bit quick. The sump smashed the oil pick up into pieces so when I dropped the sump I found a chunk of it sitting there.

R32 motor is in now:
