My Passat R36 Japanese Imported

[ScottW24]

I've been reading a few readers cars on here over the years and decided I'd eventually post about my own car. My new to me passat r36 which was imported from Japan.

As of now ive had this car just over 2 years so will go back through the photos and what work ive done.

Starting at the beginning
Viewing the car at jm imports and test driving it, some proper bits of kit in that place






Wheels were freshly refurbed in silver and look soo much better than the black

I've looked at these a number of times; there's a few JDM car importers local'ish to me here in Lancashire and they always have a few in...

They do sound superb on full chat I have to admit

Mine did surprise me, my first n/a car for a while but first decent power one and still loving it

The car came with this funky thing inside stuck on the dash I never fully worked it out and never had a English language option so I took it out


Despite the car being a 59 it came with red mfd clocks which are common but some later ones had the white mfd and something I preferred so I went straight on to get an adapter for the wiring which required 2 extra wires for fuel level sensor




Managed to score a set of passat cc clocks from ebay for £40 from a 3.6


I sent the clocks away to get the needles turned blue so it's i keeping with standard vw R


Also got the milage coded to the new clocks and a spare key done at the same time with an alarm button
