Tried to "break-in" the back seat. Not quiet big enough for me and my lady friend.

Hmm.
Did you try putting the back seats down and then taking out the trunk cover thing and using some blankets?

Edit:

Watched her sit in the garage as I cleaned up some stuff and put some small shelves up.....man I need to drive her!

**sdpauly** · 07-02-2007 09:42 PM

left her happily in the garage and drove the beater

**1337le Teapot** · 07-03-2007 12:34 AM

**BIG EYE** · 07-03-2007 12:39 PM

The seat bolsters get in the way too.

WOOT!

**rhussjr** · 07-03-2007 06:30 PM

Garey, Why couldn't VF make the bushings in the mounts in black poly, instead of red poly?

Because black and red is a killer combo... sorry it's not your thing. I think they look great!

**bSQUAREd311** · 07-03-2007 06:44 PM

I didn't do anything. But someone else nearly ran my .:R off the road today, and then tailgated me as if I did something wrong. (they had Wisconsin plates though, so maybe that explains it)

**BlownR** · 07-03-2007 07:05 PM

Put her in storage. sigh.

**das VW** · 07-05-2007 10:18 AM

Tyrolsport front brake bushings installed. Kosei K1 TS 18"s showed up for mounting of my BFG R-comps.

Must....get....back....on.....racetrack....

I installed the Convenience Blinker Kit or "Komfort Blinker" that I picked up while I was in Germany over the past three weeks. I will get to try it out tomorrow on my way to work tomorrow, but in the drive way it works just fine. Here is a pic borrowed from the front page from 1stvwparts write-up.

How long did it take to do this install?

**nachtmusik** · 07-05-2007 03:28 PM

i didn't personally do it...but i had the dealer replace my battery under warranty, replace the rear diff fluid, transmission fluid, engine oil, and perform the haldex service. drives smoother now.

**rhussjr** · 07-05-2007 05:55 PM

Took less than an hour to install the blinker setup. The hardest part was getting the wires to come out (the tool wasn't as strong as the tabs on the terminals), but I managed it with a set of pliers.

**shizzy46** · 07-05-2007 06:39 PM

ECS 20mm spacers rear, H&R 5mm front and removed tint.

**rhussjr** · 07-05-2007 08:18 PM

I started to weld up the prototype end for my rear track arms. I had to stop, as my batteries in my speedglas is dead (not going to burn my eyes). I have 4130 Chrome-moly tube and hardware coming in to build the final units out of.

**TTigg** · 07-05-2007 08:51 PM

Hmmm let me see - put the finishing touches on this lot....

1. Re-Painted the STaSIS with G2 & some clear
2. Scrubbed down the wheel hub(s) and painted in flat black rust paint
3. Swapped out STaSIS 14" rotors for 13" Rotors
4. Put back on the road wheels (Forgelines)
5. Finished up the XM wiring
6. Put back the remaining EURO Gray interior panels
7. Finished swapping the EURO Gray seat covers to the US frames (Hog pliers, rings etc)

Today / tomorrow will be completing the "Puting all back together" then clean, then some PICS!

**DBR007** · 07-05-2007 11:31 PM

No mods at the moment, just detailed it, just like I do once a week, the perks at working at a VW dealership!

**rhussjr** · 07-08-2007 06:36 PM

This is the wheel that I have decided on getting for the R.

**rhussjr** · 07-09-2007 07:36 PM

Just got my rod ends, jamb nuts and weld bungs today for my rear track arms that I am making. Just waiting on the 4130 tube and plate.

**blinkinbanana** · 07-09-2007 07:50 PM

that is freakin awesome.....my last girlfriend left such horrible snail tracks in the back seat of my GTI and my new girlfriend had such a problem with it, that i had to get trade it in for a whole new car!

all i did with the .:R today is drive her to work, but yesterday i spent the day issuing lots of premautre wear on the brakes and tires at seattle international raceway

ahhhhhh......i freakin love my car!

**dwlrpa** · 07-09-2007 10:46 PM

We took a 165 mile drive on Sunday; the thing is the distance from Dorset, VT to Williamstown, MA is only 45 miles. The twisties showed up and she would not head for the barn. She just kept asking for more tarmac to eat up.

**vwlifer27** · 07-09-2007 11:19 PM

Drove it 30+ miles (thats alot for me for one day) and bought her a Pioneer D3 with bluetooth, ipod and xm hookups.

**Memphis R32** · 07-09-2007 11:21 PM

I got the R a new home. 1400 sq ft loft!

its in a historic part of town and 1/2 a block from my favortie bar in town. Also a few buildings away is the mayor, and hes a cool guy. Im super excited to do some renovations the the place and start moving in. I just picked up the keys today!

More pics here: http://images2.rdefined.com/v/Memphis-R32/Loft/ (thank you for the hosting Rdefined, I love you)

The green and blue building are both mine.

The R snuggled in its new heated garage with drain. Hello winter car washing with plenty of room to work on it

Oh yea and a freight elevator that goes to the living room.

**vwlifer27** · 07-09-2007 11:52 PM

Ummm...your loft? HOT!!!! I am jealous.

**gshappell** · 07-10-2007 10:31 AM

Dropped off two bent aristos to get fixed

Still running my winter setup

Then decided to do the air box mod (boki-san style

)
Hopefully giac before the end of the summer

**tmack** · 07-10-2007 10:35 AM

over the weekend... detailed the piss out of her, changed the oil / oil filter and put her up for sale.

**KrzeVR6** · 07-10-2007 04:22 PM

Finally put on her new shoes, 18" BBS CH wrapped in Toyo T1Rs.

**FullP** · 07-10-2007 04:26 PM

Cool pics

**Flyboy26** · 07-12-2007 12:29 AM

Put my road bike on the roof, drove to Frisco, CO. Stopped. Took bike off roof, rode bike over Vail Pass to Vail and back to Frisco. Bike back on roof, drove home. Now, have to wash the car again.

**rhussjr** · 07-12-2007 06:57 PM

Fabbed up one track control arm this afternoon. I will post a pic later today.

**rhussjr** · 07-12-2007 07:28 PM

Here is my prototype part. All chrome moly with the exception of the outer end which is mild steel, but my final piece will be chrome moly as well.
