Hi Guys

**JedR32** · 29-03-2012, 04:49 PM

G'day everyone,
My name is Jed.
I'm a P-Plater, I drive a 2004 MKIV Golf R32 in Reflex Silver.
It's an absolute beauty of a car. Best of all the EXHAUST NOTE!

I'll post some photos up as soon as possible

Cheers,
Everyone

Welcome to the forums mate.
Hope we can get you out to some of our events (especially happy laps)
Keep an eye on the events section.

Wilkommen to the forum Jed.
It's good to have another R32 owner on board (especially a MKIV R32 owner

)
Any mods?

Nah, no money to mod right now. And a part of me is saying "keep it original" haha. But I want the competition Haldex controller eventually

The Mk4's have the Gen 2 haldex don't they?
I haven't fealt the need to upgrade mine yet after putting it hard around lakeside and QR.

I'm not sure if it's the Gen 2, I just know that only 50% of torque can be sent to the rears at the most, that it doesn't transfer torque till the front wheels slip and that the rear wheels aren't connected while braking.
I mainly want it to have the rear wheels hooked up under braking. This is probably because I used to drive a 3.0R Spec B. Liberty and it felt a little more sure footed under braking.

The Haldex upgrade allows you to control how the torque is split so you can have the constant 50/50 split as far as I am aware.
See here for more details: APR - High Performance Development for Audi, VW and Porsche Vehicles.

Also maybe come along to Happy Laps so you can see just how the car reacts to hard driving without the repurcussions of speedng fines.

I'd Absolutely love to!
With happy laps is it a whole day of as many laps as we can fit in for the $25?
If I can't get in or definitely make it I'll try to come along and have a watch of proceedings

$25 for breakfast and you get 30 minutes out there, last time i ended up with 19 laps at lakeside in that time.
You are welcome to watch if you want, and if someone is kind enough you could ask to jag some passenger seat time if you are so inclined.

I'll come watch on the 29th at Lakeside. As I often go watch the sprints etc. at lakeside.

Cheers mate
