EROtero Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 (edited) Hello all! It's been a while (8+ yrs) I visit CR since I sold the Supra, but eager to be back (sorry still no Supra). Still living in the C-bus area, work as an architect, but my passion for motorwerks goes back to my childhood helping my uncle work on rotaries for drag racing. This time I'm working on my daily driven 06 VW Passat 3.6L 4-Motion (aka R36 eurospec), with lots of things already done so far but more to come. I hope I can be as good a teacher as I am a student in this community. Be glad to help. Edited May 26, 2015 by EROtero 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 Very nice mod list! You should bring it to C&C. Do you do any racing? Autocross/HPDE/1/4 mile? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EROtero Posted May 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 used to with the Supra, but have very little time nowadays.Very bz in the office. Would love to go auto-x someday with the Passat and see my lap times. Been thinking to swap the tranny for a 6spd manual (A3 3.2L or similar) or just go DSG, not sure yet.

Only us bound vr6 manual was the Mk2 3.2 tt. Manual swap would get my vote! Big group of us autocross weekly, come on out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc1647545523 Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 Good intro and nicely-modded car. Welcome to CR. I hope you can make it out to CR's events this season. + rep :thumbup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EROtero Posted May 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 "Welcome back, Kotter." Let's see some pics and hear about some of those things to come! as I already mentioned, a tranny swap is in order and possibly a turbo setup, but I need to calculate this carefully. Car feels really good as it is, so the turbo may not happen at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
