There was what I thought was a GTI VR6 at gimili on track day (circuit). I didnt know what it was until after. thing was fast. it had oversized brakes with red porsche 6 piston calipers. at least it said porsche on them. and the rotors were dark in color (carbon fibre floating disk brakes). I found out after it was also AWD. I kept up to him on the trap lap after lap. didnt really have an advantage anywhere on me except exiting and I would catch him next corner. lose him again as I feather it through the corners. dont get it twisted though. I was amazed he didnt leave me faster exiting the corners.
was this an R32?
Hmmm.... I wonder what this could be used for. CHOP, CUT, REBUILD!

well i've joined the club of people having a 2.9" laying around, thats the easy part. now i have to figure out what cooling mods to do before it goes on...
althought I *might* wait until next spring.. i have 15000km left on warranty so it would probably run out next spring... but that need for speed is a big f'n monkey on my back lol

Since I did this mod:

I now have 3 white reverse light LEDs up for grabs. These would be good for anyone wanting bright white reverse lights, or a plug and play 3rd brake light LED conversion.

yep 
the other thing is that i want before the 2.9 goes on is an interceptor gauge... because its nice to have cooling mods, but its even nicer to know they are actually working.. rather than finding out the hard way.
nice mod and nice writeup!
