That gives a power to weight ratio of 120kW/t rounded up (119.84 kW/t if you want to be specific).
I believe the Victoria limit is 125kW/t so the R32 makes it in. Check the Vic Roads website (which is down at the moment) for the latest regulations though as the reference I found was from 2007.

Firstly welcome to the forum. Its great to have another prospective R owner among the ranks. Continuing on from Trents advice, I second that you will have no problems driving the R on your p's. I know of another member on here in victoria driving an R on his Ps. I'm sure you will look after it and appreciate it. Check out the Mk r R32 registry here. http://www.vwwatercooled.org.au/newf...ad.php?t=37111 If you do obtain the car I would love to know the #, colour and any pics you may have. Again, welcome.

Welcome mate

I trust you'll get a lot of enjoyment out of the R so long as you respect it and maintain it well. Look after it, and it will look after you!

thanks for all the positive feedback guys

not sure what number it is will have to check
that badge is in the center console somewhere as i remember
it also has some mods to it
has aftermarket exhaust, chip, air intake and suspension but the cops dont have to know about that

but that still means i wont be thrashing the car around
here are some pics hope you love it as much as i do
