Treza360's .:R32

[thekraut]

Just under 57,500km on my R32 so far!

[quozl]

Me too, new in Nov 03 and just clocked over 46K.

I figure I have to take it easy because the way I drive that 46K is more like 286K in normal kilometers.

The cars weren't delivered in Australia until February 04, are you talking build date?

Oh and it turns out that my R also likes to eat roads. Note the bits of road tucked up into the bottom of my dogbone mount.

Bet I know which road that came off haha. Perhaps that was the bang we heard? Speaking of that day, has your door played up since?

I guess my 15k km a year is well below average then

Sixie has a Bora 4Motion V6, not an R32.

It played up once on the Monday but haven't had a problem since then. I'd say that I've slammed the door shut and often enough now to get the sensor or whatever back into place. I also noticed on the driver's side door that the lamp in it had fallen out of the reflector holder thingy and into the door. Easy fix but yeah that could have been what it was.

So today's fun.

- INA Engineering Track Density Mounts
- 8L Audi S3 Tiebar
- ECS Tuning Rear Adjustable Control Arms
- Custom Aluminium Skidplate

Alignment is booked in for Tuesday to get suspension back into spec and that's stage one complete.

Cheers,

So this evening I had the pleasure of disassembling my front bumper ready to take it to the spray shop on Tuesday for shiny new paint. What a wonderful job that is.
Some photos of what's going to be repaired:

The mystery scratch...


Front bar scrapes from before and the beginning of my ownership...




Decided to remove the number plate holder and get the holes filled. A slimline plate for the front is on the way...


Nakedness...


The mysterious additional radiator...


BMC CDA intake hose now with added Cat...


How many torx screws does it take for the full installation of a R32 bumper? 1,374,852 that's how many...


Add another 1,945,710 clips for the screws and other miscellaneous clips and screws etc...


Bumper bits and pieces which are attached by the 3,320,562 screws and clips shown above...


Cheers,
Trent

Holy crap dude.. I hope you can remember where they all go.. Hahaha!

Proof in the pudding will be when I put it all back together and I see how many bits and pieces I have left over...

Cut the vents out myself. Yeah my finger tips are feeling pretty sore from pulling the screw clips off.
