mabrouk. I saw your car in the showroom. It was amazing, I was just hoping if they get the rocaro seats, that will push the looks of the interiors to Insanity.

It always good to figure but better to find out. Honestly, the car I saw in Frankfurt on the IAA had a more bling interiour and I did not like it. Yours look much more sportier, even those the center console around the radio does not look like a 100K+ car.
Since this is your daily, I can't blame you for getting it.

Can you now explain us why you did not wait one more month for a 2006 AP1 ?

You know, I'm kindof wondering that myself right now cuz I only ended up driving the **** car for 6 days before it went kaput on me and its still in the shop waiting for a **** transmission from Germany, causing me to miss TOTB, an AutoX, and much fun driving during the best time of the year for driving...I didn't even get it past break in before the "incident" so I've never even fully leaned on the engine yet

It was mostly due to Honda being very vague about the 06s, combined with the R32 being in the right place at the right time...the R32 is at least 90% as fast as the S2k and easier to live with I guess :scratchhead:

BTW, here's a link to one of the first turbo kits for the mkV R32...13000 euros though!!

OK, I got the .:R back today at last!!!!!! And even better, I can really wring it out now because it's been broken in and had the first service.

I dunno how it stacks up to an S2K but it's one damn fast car when you let it off the leash...the acceleration is not exactly explosive though. I already lost a little "acceleration test" to a white EVO 8 (with black rims) on the way back to work today.

Still though, all smiles now

Good to know you are back in the saddle - and can finally enjoy the car!!

The white Evo 8 with black rims, may have been Jakub's brother - what do you say dude, was it him?

Thanks Arif and Vampire!

If it was Jakub's brother, and if he's into modding anything like Jakub is , I know for sure I would lose badly to that thing in a proper race

I do remember that the EVO had a little orange/yellow triangular sticker on the side of it somewhere...
