He's Addicted to Saving R32s | Owner Spotlight

We are always looking for interesting cars, people, and businesses to film our Owner Spotlight series. After our disaster of a MK5 R32 project, Bryson reached out to offer us a bumper to make our car look a little better. After seeing all of the amazing things he works on, we knew we had to let him tell his story. 380 Industries mainly builds Porshue for clients, but on the side, Bryson has fun by building offroad Porshues and R32s. Not only that, he has made his mission to make a fleet of R32s for his friends with matching Thunder Bunny front bumpers. He says this is the bumper that SHOULD of come on the MKV R32. His work is incredible! Fab, paint, and many hours of attention to detail make these cars amazing!

[@chmullins]

Just listening to someone talk so passionately about mk5's is refreshing. There are literally dozens of just mk5 lovers, and we will be accepted!

[@jensapensa]

we are honestly superior

[@Mk5.maniac]

Fr I'm gonnakeep buying these cars my whole life lol

[@jensapensa]

@@Mk5.maniac u got a fahrenheit brudda??!!?-?-!

[@Mk5.maniac]

@@jensapensa sadly sold It, I’ve still got the mk5 r32 tho and I just got rotiform RSE’s for it

[@MikelDog]

Edition 30 owner here, total build cost is £5k running 380hp 430ftlbs. Have a vr6 3.2 in a mk2 gti hard to beat that sound

[@mikesvirtualgarage9917]

I like this guy. Honest about putting in the work and attempting to get results. Calling dealerships with part numbers! That alone made me smile. Also being honest about the glam about running a business like this. Much respect and as always, amazing video!

[@jameshaulenbeek5931]

Wookie noises first thing in the morning 😍

[@promisedprince6201]

Love it

[@sletourneau3]

The best ❤

[@Mk5.maniac]

I was just at a meet with my r32 this weekend and some girls found out it was auto and immediately thought it was disgusting and worthless, but people like you make me happy about the car❤️

[@josephkelly4893]

A well sorted DSG is a better box than the manual, three pedal snobs are just that

[@cottiepharaohs7161]

So that’s where all the Thunderbunny kits went 😂. Amazing builds!

[@tommdschohns8718]

I have a mk5 R32 and i love the original bumper. The thunder bunny front end looks horrendous and out of place.

[@themacjunkie]

Same here, well I don’t think the TB bumper looks that bad but it looks a bit odd. I do love the OEM bumper on my CW MKV R. The overall look of all those Rs in the video is awesome though.

[@mbriggs717]

Fantastic video and showcase. Thunder bunny….swoon!! 🐰♥️ Makes me want to go for some zoomies and tweak my R32 even more now!!

[@jacksh993]

disagree with the front bumper Pov. but love that you're loving the R32s...

[@Vic-ot7bm]

Agreed, I love the front Bumper

[@reeceandersonnn]

Happy to see the 8p lurking throughout the video 👍

[@UnkleShief]

facts happy to see that as well

[@PLr1c3r]

I would get flamed a lot back in '16 for that DSG take but it's true. I don't need a clutch to prove my manliness.

[@DatGameCollector]

It says alot when you fix Porsches for a living but still drive dubs!

[@SonOfTamriel]

Of all the R32's in this vid, lined up, and in various shots. The Mk4 is the best! Hands down.

[@djsg143]

GA is probably the best state for a VW enthusiast. Tons of expert shops, events, and like-minded people. Add to that the great YT content creators like DAP and HM. Wish I had picked up the R32 I saw with under 100k for 10k around 2020, but glad I got my MK7.

[@u4ia420]

Even the old stuff. Air Cooled Technologies in Cleveland does some amazing work.

[@Petrospect]

The noises. Wow.

[@ArmChairKoalaBare]

as an owner , it truly never gets old. i have a magnaflow exhaust and i thought about starting a channel for just the noises alone lol

[@selloutlabel]

I wondered where all the thunderbunny bumpers went i forgot about them being on tdi cups and dieselgate

[@sebastianlorenzo4935]

you have not missed with these Owner spotlight video's. This is awesome content

[@racerpoet]

Very cool to see this! Big thumbs up! As a HUGE MKV guy myself, I really like seeing this. I don't like the Thunder Bunny front bumper at all and totally agree with it being brittle, but I can appreciate the passion for sure. I like seeing the lines on a car flow and the Thunder Bunny front bumper needs the whole kit in my opinion. The side skirts and rear are beautiful, and flow nicely with the ED30 lip for the Jetta/GTI bumpers. That's what I'll be doing on my Fahrenheit. I totally agree with the passion/magic part. This has encouraged me to get back to my MKV projects.

[@joshkoepsell]

When I was shopping for my TDI Cup in 2010, it was DSG only. It always felt like the perfect pairing to me and I’ve had ZERO regrets with my choice. 13+ years later, and I still have that car (with the TB body kit, of course).

[@dusanmatic6259]

If you ever lose your mind and end up wanting to sell that bumper let me know haha

[@tbix1963]

Great video, always and still want an R32 for my own. Love and miss the VR6 that I once owned. Greatest sounding engine I have ever had the pleasure to own. Great to see people out there keeping them alive.

[@michaelmcdougall4527]

Just Fun Stuff.I’m Blessed to know your enjoying Your Passion! Mine is Model Trains 🚂🚂

[@scottday2939]

Love this. Incredible builds. Love the Thunder Bunny Bumpers.

[@DjDubUk]

SPENCER (Top Stitch)is the man! Did my interior on my mk2 Scirocco,,I need an r32 soooo bad!

[@brianjensen6350]

I thought I was weird! I'm 45 years old, wanted a air cooled Porsche 911 since I was 5. Was close to buying a 911 about 7 years ago before prices sky rocketed and now drive a R32 and love it. Hoping to one day get the 911 but needing an R32 still in my life, it puts a smile on my face everytime I drive it.

[@roccoracer]

This dude is awesome. I just picked up a 2004 Audi TT 3.2 for my fun driver. I also have a scirocco 16v for shows and occasional autoX.

[@tomthompson7400]

some great cars ,, but this guy has a perfect attitude . That Audi is still the show stealer though ...

[@GrizzlyGarage]

This guy should really look into reproducing the thunder bunny bumper, would be game changer for all mk5s

[@Fatlace24]

Sometimes, you don’t want to have the same things of everybody. And let’s be honest, if someone reproduce them, everybody will want them.

[@petrol88]

With 3D scanners getting down in price where sad bois can afford them, it’s only a matter of time

[@knmp9878]

Awesome vid and a solid guy. Some lovely looking builds

[@CHWBAKA450]

Love this! Well done and thanks for the dose of Wookie. Getting pumped for WITW’24!

[@zackmiller2332]

Awesome video

[@kevinvandorst]

I prefer the stock MK5 bumper over that Thunder Bunny all day. MKV in black, all stock just with the milltek exhaust is perfection.

[@Diabolotherium]

lovely sounding cars. Wish my mk6 sounded remotely close to that.

[@mtnman1984]

Doing the lord's work

[@cheknocksya]

Awesome video and content.

[@RileyPowersports]

That dark blue/green on MkV on bronze wheels is a great looking car. Great video DAP and great spotlight of a shop that seems to be doing solid work!

[@MrTimothyDooley]

Great video. Bryson is a great dude. Got me into VWs a long time ago

[@michaelmcdougall4527]

It’s in the passion love it

[@GregsTurtleHaven]

Wow in Ga, and the Porsches i saw at the 4WD meet. Is it possible to see some of the R's sometime? Always been my dream car and had a r32 swapped 2003 GLI but the ECU died and i was left high and dry

[@josephkelly4893]

Those cayennes setup for proper off roading are quite an intriguing proposition. They sell at the Auctions where I live (Australia) for a few thousand, might look at building one and see if there is any interest

[@deckstare]

I got a mk5 R a few months ago. it's super rough cosmetically, 140k miles drives great. would love to have mine looking like one of these

[@stasKZ]

great episode!

[@raptors444]

The mk4 r32 blue, looks like jazz blue. Very nice car.

[@KRAMPUS_G60_16V]

MKIV does it for me. :) Great video!

[@Underp4ntz_Gaming_Channel]

the question is from me, did you upgraded the brake booster and master cylinder for the dual caliper setups?

[@Bats1999]

This is next level mkv. I'm just trying to get my motor in time. 😂

[@TheKatanaRider]

This guy is my soulmate

[@sammylambert2689]

Best video on KZbin today! Hard work and fun cars.

[@BuzzzdLightyear]

That blue Mk4 is insane

[@Joverine]

Love my mk4 but this video makes me want to add a mk5 thunder bunny to the family 😍

[@IcarusSeptem]

The thunder bunny front bumper is growing on me.

[@Photosbydrew]

We would get along. Love everything you've done. The shop, the builds, the cars.

[@andrewg2322]

I like how you snuck in the A3 quattro s line VR6 super slept on as well

[@jn7154]

There’s a company in the UK making replica thunder bunny front bumpers, the price isn’t bad but shipping to the US is like $1300 so that’s a no go for me

[@vwanted2200]

Any Interest in doing an 2008 R36 Passat wagon ?

[@blitzrc4713]

Cat on the car next second he's polishing it😂

[@JustinStrife]

Definitely don't agree with the front bumper comment. Ugly is the only word I'd use to describe it. Still appreciate your passion. I own a k04 mk6 GTI and mk6 R both, but really thinking of adding an mk4 R32 to the stable in the near future.

[@stub2620]

I am same age, same boat on the manual vs DSG. I will take the faster pull.

[@andrewblackmon7325]

I love the r32's, i have a 2006 Audi a3 3.2 that i'am working on, love the body style and room inside of the a3

[@rjj00]

what are you doing on it?

quick question will you guys be doing the DSG service for the mk8 gti anytime soon? wondering because I have to do mine pretty soon and id like to learn to do it myself since the quote from the dealership is $1200😃

Known Bryson for years! He is good people and has stay true to the scene for years! He is definitely an OG for the VW guys! Love this!

Nice video!! Where can I get that front bumper?

I remember wanting a Thunderbunny kit so bad when I had MK5 Rabbit .... at least i know where 99.999% of the kits in the US are now lol

Love that the red R32 has Holeshots and the length of this video is 1552

I'm buying Golf 5 R32 soon, I hope it will be worth it!

Anyone know the wheel and tire specs on the red r32? That fitment is on point. Look like 17's to me.

[@briandonovan5434]

My guys right about that bumper! Also right about dsg/manual debate, you hit 40, and don’t care anymore.

[@CheechElMexicano]

What's that hatch wing name on the Mk5 r32 in the Tornado Red?

[@landroverSV]

Can you build/make or get the mold to make the Thunder Bunny front bumper? I bet you would have a lot of MK5 R32 customers. Had an MK4 R32 but lost her to a flood in NYC in 2012 😢

[@hirosnii]

Oh man my old mk3 at 6:53

[@Wargwarn]

Had a corrado vr6. Nice sounding motor but they are slow for the fuel consumption and engine size

[@JaredSVX]

Holy shit...the sound of that blue Mk4 😍

[@jackmcdonald8355]

It sounds like Chewbacca in here

[@humanbean899]

I have a Seat Toledo VR5, one of only 71 left in the UK, perhaps a better sound than the VR6, and I've had two of them! Nice to hear somebody in a youtube video mention the forcing of EV crap on the population

[@WolfsburgSlim]

That supercharged MKIV sounded like something out of a nightmare or a horror movie 🥲🥹

[@stevecuahuizo792]

I have a MK5 R32 I need that front Bumper how can I get one love this car

[@BOOSTEDDUDE]

Some seriously awesome R32 action! I still think the MK4 is the best design. No offense but I'm not a big fan of Euro tails.

damn and they are only in georgia. id love to come up and see these guys as a fellow r32 owner

I have a 2003 R32 With a blown engine it does crack so nothing seized up, km209,000 on clock interior needs some attention, Don't have the cash to get it rebuilt. Have paperwork of what has been fixed dating all the way back to 2016. If you have any interest I'd be more than happy to answer any questions. Regards Enrico

Thunderbunny bumpers are cool. But the middle grill has always bothered me…it needs to be 30% less tall. Always thought they overkilled it in that sense.
