i'm here. and i think i'm here to stay. keep you posted, cause i've got some things up my sleeve

Hey man,
R32's are sweet, no doubt! I was a veedubber too ( 1 Scirocco, 2MK1's, 2 MK2's, and a B5 A4). VWvortex, VWfixx, Audiworld, Audizine, H20 Militia, I followed it all. Now I have a bugeye, and wouldn't change it for anything else in it's price range.
Best bang for the buck for sure! Nice ride

wow, this is becoming a blog type post...here goes
after the turbo build up has been taken care of and suspension is addressed, i am going to address the body. rememebr a couple of months back, i was tagged on the rear bumper and it cracked my bumper....so, i haven't touched that yet cause i want to get all the things i'd wanted colour matched done at one time.
my plans are as follows, as far as exterior is concerned;
-Cusco front lip
-Chargespeed sideskirts
-JDM Wagon rear skirt
-JDM rain visor (not to be painted)

You're always gonna have those types on any forum . . . just gotta say to yourself "whatever".
Euro flavor is much different that JDM flavor in general. When I was in the VW/Audi scene I would have never thought gold would look good on any cars, I thought . . . "yuck". Now I think it looks really good (depending on the rim)
Hey you know my friend buddah888 on watercooled militia? Darren?
