My old car....

[monkey_boy]

I saw the R32 and thought 'hmm interesting'. Then saw the 335i for the same money and thought 'wow, that's definitly in a different league to a golf'.

Supercharged V6 noise > 335i Straight 6

21k for a jumped up Golf when you can have an RS4 for 4k more?
Not on your life, sonny

Why buy a 535i, spend money tarting it up then sell it a month later to buy an RS4 only to instead buy a Golf?

The only RS4 I would have is a 2007 low miler with plenty of warranty from Audi. So 33k at least.

Why not a mk1 RS6 ?

530BHP V8 Twin Turbo...

seems like a much more sensible choice ?

A supercharged Golf would be pretty cool, but £21k gets you some serious metal, such as a 55 AMG..

If you can find an MTM clubsport one, they use the MK2 RS4's 6 speed manual

Spoonz, can I just say that you're doing it wrong?

Get something like this for 14k: http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1313577.htm

Spend £6k supercharging that!

Get this and don't drive like a tool.

Think its because I'm mental.

Seriously, I loved the Golf and didn't want to sell it. (Circumstances) I know the love of an underpowered, heavy, bland hatch isn't logical But, until you have driven one with the chassis sorted and a bit of extra power you cant comment Once the nose 'heavyness' is sorted by the haldex the car is transformed IMO.

Have you got any details on the supercharger in place? Any pics etc would be cool.

 

[mjt]

Who would you use to supercharge it?

HGP in Germany can add some turbos to take it to 530bhp for only €28,000....

I've heard amazing things about the Rotrex system. I think you should go for it, although £6k is a lot of cash.

Edit - I'd have to spend the extra £1k to get the stage 2 system. I hate having something and knowing if I spent just a little more I could have had the best.

 

[spoonz]

in other news.... I've just emailed the Audi dealer to see if can make me an offer I cant refuse on the RS4 I have been looking at.

If not, its a dead deal.

An extra grand for 50bhp? No thanks. If JBS will be do me stage 2 for stage one money, as I would be buying a Milltek and various other bits at same time I might consider it.

The R32 is a fantastic car Fantastic to drive, quick and it always looks stunning.

My BF has an R32 and it has been fantastic, it has 300bhp and you don't half feel it when you put your foot down.
