This is a car certain to divide opinion. When I posted a random snap to the Speedhunters Facebook page I can't remember such contrasting comments to any other posts. You guys either absolutely loved it or completely hated it. It is a bit of bastardised car, a German manufactuer with Japanese influenced styling.
Matte black bodywork is probably the most non-controversial part of this car.
Tarox brakes sit behind some Toyo R888 wrapped 17' Rota wheels.
The widened stance is thanks to some 50mm spacers and et20 offset on the Rota Grids.
A Bride seat for the driver and standard seat for the passenger.
The suspension towers have been extended to allow the car to be lowered even further.
A snap off wheel and Greddy boost controller completes the simple interior spec.
The car was originally a MKIV VR6 (I think, probably wrong) but is now running a turbo R32 engine and running gear.
On the grand scale of things, a German car with Japanese inspired styling cues isn't exactly Sky News material but I love how this car divides opinion. It's only with people going against the tide that the car scene evolves. Mr.Stewart, my hat is off to you sir !

Wow this is one serious MKIV. Absolutely love it. Any more pictures of the motor?
I really don't care about anyone likes it or not. It's just something absolutely new and original when it comes to golf tuning and shall be respected.
Is that like a JDM-Euro Golf ???
NICE
No complete pictures of the car with bonnet down? Is it really that hard?
Ryan Stewart is my hero.
I'm not usually a VW fan, but this car looks good and seals the deal with the R32 running gear.
Wow im really loving this car, the stance on this seriously agressive.
Car was originally a 4Mo
and yes its absolutely epic
Needs a japanese engine....
the car was originally a VR6 4motion Golf.
Ryan Stewart and the blokes at F6 do some gnarly shit.
oh no a VW that doesn't have BBS RSs!!! SOOOO controversial! Mind Blown!
I love it .. looks hard as hell.
Pretty sick.
omg is this car safe?
Sickest!!!
it was a v6 4 motion before. now its a bastardised r32 turbo. should be good now its ready to get mapped!
kudos to you stanton .... atlast some epic work fresh out of southampton !!! love the car !
Divides opinion? Who doesn't love this?!
would be nice to get a wallpeper of this car
Stunning. My new favourite mkIV. If only it was running TE37s of the same specs with less interior and a beefy rollcage! Loving the strut modifications!
paddy, was great to meet you buddy.. im honor'd to have my car posted as a spotlight on speedhunters. thankyou very much
its a car that has a long long story behind it and almost ended up this way by accident.... from a shiney nice car to what it is today. the build thread is here... http://www.edition38.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=237000&st=0
matte black, lightweight wheels, AWD(?) R32 driveline.
win!
...how is this "Japanese influenced"?
seems like every car profiled here owes a debt of thanks to japan for some reason.
whould be nice to get a wallpaper of this car
at least it aint on bags
only Vdub I've ever seen that I really like. Looks badass!!!!
@J-tec, check the build thread on edition38 here.. http://www.edition38.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=237000&st=0
Those shock towers look sketchy.
This is a seriously cool car, looks like an absolute weapon.
Looks hard as nails!!! 10/10
i absolutely love it. I wish i had the balls and the green to go all out like that.
I don't care for VWs but this is certainly an exception. I'd rock it.
this is done nicely... thanks for covering it a lil closer.
anyone else notice the Massachusetts license plate in the rear window? USDM style? lol
look very gay, those 'scener car' is gay. i dont like it.
I usueally don't like Golfs but SICK!
Wow! a functional vw!!
looking good.
love the style of the car, but cmon, rotas? if you're going to drop the money into suspension, tires, and a motor swap, you could at least buy a set of real wheels intead of rotas. at first glance i was hopin those were actually te37s, but as i kept looking and read the article im just disappointed
Simply DOPE
This is so much WIN!!!
Love it
(INSERT OBLIGATORY ROTA HATE COMMENT HERE)
<3
Love it!
Awsome wheel and bodykit =)
Crazy creation ! Epic !
LOVE IT!
Rotas aren't real wheels ? Then what are his tires wrapped around ?
Four Rota Grids cost around £600, where as four Work's Wheels cost around £2100+VAT in the UK. That's a huge price difference. You can't hate on a guy for making that decision.
This is NOT ZOMBIE...
ITS A STEALTH..
bitch about rota's all you like. the guys at rare rims and regal autosport that have supplied me numerous sets of rota wheels couldnt be more helpful. and for the price... they are lightweight and hard as nails. i would love TE's but you just cant justify the price when rotas are so good. ive drifted with them and drifted into things with them and they are spot on.
the cars not about spending out money for the sake of it. money is spent wisely in the right places on parts that are NEEDED, not parts that would be nice to own for the label.
the mass plate belongs to some friends visiting from the states from CBS. hence the BROKESTATUS plate in the front
Well, I like it more than most of the VWs you post up here.
Oh yeah...Nice car man.
bad welding and fake wheels. boo
Ummmmmmm where are the Engine shots?? It LOOKS mean.. but does it have the power to back it? cuz all i see is a friggin blow off valve and heat shields..
hard to believe that this was the car that was turned out by G-Werks - what a cool dramatic change!! it made me laugh to see the bride seat with the necker chief thru the loop al a drift style... copy cat..
Why does it have Brides if, 'the cars not about spending out money for the sake of it. money is spent wisely in the right places on parts that are NEEDED, not parts that would be nice to own for the label.'
It would be a cool car if F6 didn't chat so much bollocks.
I love how the strut tower looks like papier-mâché
Haha some of the comments on the wheels letting it down etc are funny. Function and form in perfect harmony. And Brides?? A bride seat is in the car, which was purchased second hand for a seriously discounted price.
Sick car tbh. Looks awesome the now.
Function and form in perfect harmony? Sorta like the papier-mâché strut towers, right?
the bride seat is something i have had for a LONG time, carried over from another project and something i picked up in the classifieds for fuck all.
thats why its in there, it cost me nothing... was sat in my bedroom. *blows raspberry*
While I was busy shooting at the Automaxx Streetpower event in Holland another event was happening in
