I've been meaning to do something similar to the Integra's wiper arms, but never got around to it. I'll refer to that vid in the future.
Seen this out and about, didn’t realise it was yours. Lovely motor in red, and seems a great example.
Enjoy following your threads too, all the details.
What paint would you recommend for callipers and the other wee bits droplink etc.? I used to be fond of the halfords stuff but it doesn't seem to hold up at all (maybe I just didn't prep it enough last time)The long May weekend was a busy one.
I'd the M3 to prep for sale so that was off the list.
My dad arrived to give me a hand taking a few things to the dump. I looked at his car querying it's ride height.
The front spring was snapped, leaving it with a ride height the stance guys would die for.
Audi Belfast were utterly unhelpful, not surprising, however I ultimately expected them to be simply incredibly expensive.
So my recommendation was to get a set of Sachs (OE) springs and get them fitted by an independent saving a fortune.
I was recommended Darrell Connor just outside of Ballyclare (VW Audi Repair Centre). He luckily was able to accommodate us as short notice and seems to have done a great job. I may well end up taking the R32 to him for some VW quirky / specific stuff.
In between rain storms I was able to get the R32 washed and cleaned up.
However one major area of concern was a previous owner deciding to touch up the brake calipers with Hammerite. As you can see it's not nearly a match. That couldn't do, so the fronts were painted up. Note the rears will have new calipers fitted soon.
Very happy with how they came out.

I have a spare rear rebuild kit here if its any use to you?
Been watching your YouTube vids buddy, enjoying them. I’ve love an r32 at some point.
