VW racecar R32-Some advice!

[DUB 20V]

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!

Just a thought - but have you considered parting your own R32 (sacrilegious as that may sound)?

I'm sure there would be plenty of takers for the parts you didn't need given that many of them are bolt-on for other VAG cars, and you'll be assured that the engine, transmission, wiring loom etc are all in good condition and that you've got all the parts you would ever need.

Failing that - wasn't there a written-off R32 in a Pickles auction recently? That might still be floating around the country somewhere.

Failing that still, if you're not afraid of a bit more work and don't mind looking at a VAG 'cousin', there is a written-off Porsche 997 GT3 coming up for auction tomorrow at Pickles. That 3.6L flat 6 would be perfect...
