VW racecar R32-Some advice!

[JVLR32]

probably 4 or 5k (aussie dollars) to buy it then whatever it costs to ship, i dont know how much that is though. theres lots of auctions that sell the complete running gear of wrecked r32's for the 5000euro price range.

You wouldnt know of any of these auction sites to look up m8? Thanks John

only two big ones in aus

www.pickles.com.au
www.manheimfowles.com.au

you can bid online on both of them and its really quite easy. if you have an abn its much easier to organise accounts with them, otherwise you'll have to pay bonds (around 500 i think) before you can bid online. i havnt ever witnessed a vr6 go at auction but my guess is they would go around the 1 or 1.5k mark (for the whole car)

Speak to Sebastian Najder who used to work on the VW R32 race cars bug_racer@yahoo.com he knows the guy who still owns the race cars and they have one of the race cars for $25K or a crate R32 engine for sale which I think they want about $5K for.

Cheers Al

yeah spoke a few weeks ago! he was a lot of help.Just wanted to check around thou!I have spoken to him about another motor with no gearbox not sure about price wise.Thanks

[JVLR32]

Well i finally found a R32 o4 motor gearbox 44 thou miles on clock! should be here in March cant wait! thanks for everyones help. Does any body know if Uk is different to Aust spec R32 motors?

[quozl]

ECU code is different, not sure what MAF they are using, the US has a different MAF to Australia but I have no idea what the UK / Euro cars run. Other than that internally they should be identical.

i guess you wont be using a std ecu?

[JVLR32]

Yep i will be using the standard Ecu! Personally i think this engines run faultless with wat they have.I will run a APR chip set up ...2 wheel drive. I run the same chip in my 04 R32 unbelievable......Surely the Uk specy should be a more hypo motor!
