Mook Posted April 22, 2005 Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 OK, so I've now got the Neuspeed front strut braces fitted top and bottom. Car's a lot stiffer round the twisty bits. But does anyone have a rear strut brace installed on their R? I know it will will stop me getting a wardrobe in the back of the car, but that's not why I bought it. Tried Neuspeed, EIP etc, but no-one seems to make them Forum member in the US with site at www.billswebspace.com/vwr32.htm has a Yarrowsport one fitted (see pic) www.yarrowsport.com but I can't get a response from them and all of the dealers listed on their site say they don't sell Yarrow stuff any more. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrh3 Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 Even better than the Yarrowsport bar is this one: triangulated for structure, lightweight, and removable (4 hex head bolts): http://tomassporttuning.com/stressbrace.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mook Posted July 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 Bloody hell, this is an old thread! 22/04/05 I eventually bought a Eurosport one from the US - gave up on Yarrow. Since sold this to another TsN'r and am having a custom one made from aluminium... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mook Posted July 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 No, it's OK. I've found a conversion that lets you run it on genuine Argentinian steaks. Apparently when you bolt the engine into the R32 it'll do 18 cows to the mile... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll admit there were some bits missing of the meteor pic I got from a crazy dutch tractor pulling site but i'd pressed submit on my post too quick and did go back and edit. Anyhow seems you may have been a little hasty in dismissing the little red power unit .... the turbos are plenty big enough .... It's a Cummins QSK50. This is a 50.25 litre V16 and in "2100" state of tune gives 2100 HP @ 1900rpm which ticks your first box. Peak torque arrives quite high in the rev range at 1500 rpm and is ..... wait for it ..... 6095 lb/ft which I believe covers your 2nd requirement So I assume you will now be installing it before your next track day ...... looked a bit slow through quarry (I was there very briefly and said hello to RS32 and JimmyP but could only stay for an hour .... think you were on track at the time ) Although you might want to up the springs and brakes a bit as it's tips the scales at nearly 6 tonnes Look forward to seeing you at a meet soon with it installed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mook Posted August 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 Mega. And I've just thought that because it's a "50.25 litre V16", that would make it a Golf R502.5 - know where I can get the badge made up for the back of the car... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
