Greig's MKV R32

Well deserved clean now the Corolla has been relegated to street parking again...

Welcome to the R32 (supreme colour) owners club

Greig, tell me more about the Forge Oil Catch Can because I've got the Forge Motorsport intake at the moment. Do you plan on turning this into an occasional track day car? If you document the rest of your build with as many photos, I'll be contributing as much as I can to it.

Thanks man.

Details of the Forge OCC here.

I'd like to get it on track eventually but it'd be a bit of a shame given the condition it's in.

There's always a cheap mx-5 on Gumtree calling my name.

I would assume they are purely for collecting the amount of discharge? Seems like the OCC is the way to go since I have got the Forge Motorsport intake. Quick question, how often does it need cleaning?

IMHO, an R32 is not where I would begin with a fast, fun and reliable track car especially being DSG. They are fantastic grand tourers on the twisty stuff and public roads, but the heavy nose front end and distribution isn't exactly setup for track conditions. If you are serious about an mx-5 Greig, keep me posted and I'm sure I could persuade a friend down the road to sell you his blue mx-5. Personally, I wouldn't track your R32 if I was in your shoes. Thought about it, but not for me!

Yeah, I don't think it'll have the same impact as an OCC on a turbo motor but every little helps.

Totally agree that there are better platforms for a track toy. Unless FI comes in to the equation...

Funds are pretty tight just now after picking the car up but if it's a low miler at a decent price I could be tempted. Shoot me a PM with some details.

I'll get some details off him as soon as I see him because he has been away on holidays in the past few weeks. Shoot me a PM with your number Greig, send you some photos. Have you started ordering bits for the '32? Might I recommend the flapper mod for the interim until you get an aftermarket cat-back exhaust system. Happy to send you the instructions

Instructions sound good, PM on its way.

A little friendly rivalry appeared in my garage yesterday...



Then it was off to VW Village for my blue slip...



Nothing was needed for a pass but the guys were very helpful squeezing me in at the last minute. Will definitely use them again as they're so handy.

And you know when you've spent too much time on forums when this happens...
