Just been perusing the classifieds in the VW Driver magazine
APS's R300, 300bhp weapon is still for sale and it is now at £19k :shocked:
Silver (the fastest colour :wink:)
5 door
Manual
15K miles
Recaro's
Brand new Michelin PS2's
KW variant 3 suspension
19" BBS CH alloys :drool:
Milltek cat back exhaust
Schrick cams
APS remap
Haldex race controller (lets you play with the front to rear drive settings :drool:)
The car was featured in October 06 VW Driver mag (which I have :nerd:) and I have just read through it again. The redline has been altered to 7200rpm and it gives 300bhp at 7000rpm and 270lb/ft at 5400rpm.
The feature also says it has had a free flow panel filter and mods to the airbox baffling. The suspension is lowered 45mm up front and 35mm at the rear. Short-shift gear lever conversion.
Anyone tempted?

Heehee, you're right. The first time was back in May's edition when it was up for £22.5k

when i had my mk4 r32 i knew a few cars that had the cams done at aps and should have been doing 300bhp and they never did they all made 270 280 bhp at the fly wheel and thats on a few rolling roads and they both had cats and mani's on them.

There's quite a few Mk5 R32's for sale at the moment and it's a quiet time of year for car sales. Also the engine size taxation isn't helping :sad:.
I guess that if I was looking for a Mk5 .:R it would be very tempting - All the mods done and at a good price. The Mk5 GTI's and R32's are still too new to be attractive as modded - People who can afford such cars in the UK aren't so inclined to mod, or want them modded.

noone wants to buy it cause it's a 5 door manual

....As far as I'm concerned a 5-door is far more practical (my previous car was a 2-door BMW), but I will always want DSG or an equivalent like new Mitsu EVO X system.
