My new C32
Hey,

I recently went to Germany and bought myself a C32. I got it last week, so me and my friend decided to celebrate that with a photoshoot. Here are some of the "best" pictures. The Lexus is an IS300.







Mods and such in signature, enjoy!

I doubt it, from my own experience I can tell you that having a lowered car here in Iceland is a pain in the ***!

Yeah it is, I think it's low enough too. There's hardly any gap at the rear and not much at the front, I'll take a picture sometime.

Nice!
So.... does your car have the full MKB tuning along with pulley, headers, etc? If so, it must be a beast!

I believe it only has the ecu pack (Modified engine management system with readapt ignition map and injection map.) but to be honest, I'm not sure. The guy I bought it from was not the one that had it done, so he wasn't sure either. I sent MKB an email a while ago but got nothing back

I'm going to dyno it soon and compare those numbers to the ones MKB list on their page, that should settle it

But it is a beast, never the less.

I'm sorry, but is it!? I had no idea that it is , how come? And hear I am thinking about lowering the front of mine because I think it rides to high.

Hjartarson, welcome to the world of C32! I'm sure you will not regret the buy!

they changed the front springs for the US spec C32s to meet the bumper height requirement at the time.

I usually use 95 oct on mine. Most stations here sell 98/99 oct though, so I'm going to try 99 when this tank is finished
