Nittany's R32..

**NittanyR32** · 08-01-2011 05:17 PM

Hello all!

Just picked up a R32 last week. I'm new to the VW scene. Ive been trolling these forums for the last week and finally decided to register and post. I think i spent most the day Saturday reading through PSU's entire thread (sweet ride/very clean and as a Penn State fan I couldn't pass the thread up with a name like PSU

)

Seem to be alot of nice and knowledgeable people hear that I hope to lean on for advice as I build my R32 in hopes of being half as good as what Ive seen so far from members.

Don't do it! Next thing you know your PSU will be touching your R in inappropriate ways (debadged).

**germanbycar** · 08-01-2011 06:02 PM

Welcome

**NittanyR32** · 08-01-2011 07:52 PM

Just ordered a Modshack intake. Been trying for days to decide on which intake I wanted. Chose the Modshack for its looks and multiple color options. Also that fact that I have read nothing but great things about Steve and his customer service. I chose the DBM w/black logo to match my R32

Welcome and excellent choice. I have a white Modshack to match my CW R. Just a suggestion but you may want to look into the noise pipe delete mod while you are doing the intake install. Helps clean up the engine bay.

Welcome! Perfect color choice,

! Update the R registry. And watch your post count start climbing...

Because .:Racecar!

Those clear sides look like crap on a DBP... you need to get some colormatched and give the clears to me

Love getting home from a crappy day at work and finding a package at the door step!

Caution another phone pic

... need to buy a camera!

**NittanyR32** · 08-11-2011 02:42 PM

Just received some Pyspeed Led's for the rear plate

Anyone recommend a good point and shoot camera to purchase so I can get some good shots of the .:R. Craptacular cell phone isn't cutting it!

**NittanyR32** · 08-13-2011 08:41 PM

As petty as it may be I painted that awful orange oil dipstick handle that stuck out like a sore thumb.

**NittanyR32** · 08-17-2011 05:53 PM

Was bored and wanted to try out Plasti Dip so I hit up my .:R plate frame. Like the black frame with the black DARE plate but dont think I like this combo. Need a new reg sticker with that one falling off.

That black plate frame looks pretty bad*** dude.

Also, when you get your new Reg sticker... heat those old ones up with a blow dryer and pull them off.

I had a DARE plate on my Honda since 2001... Finally got smart in 2010 and pulled all the old ones off.
