Friend of mine just bought an 03 plate S3 for £22k. More money than sense really- although silver, with 18" rims, Bose, Leather etc... It is an awesome looking car,and the handling, unsurprisingly is excellent. However, It really didn't impress me with the power. It just didn't feel fast at all in a straight line- a little bit sluggish. However my friend was in the car as I was driving it,so I may not have been squeezing every little bit out of it... Gotta agree though that it is leagues apart in terms of the build quality, and a nice cabin to be in!! Oh yeah, my friend is 23 with 0 NCB and paying £2300 insurance......

Love it mate. Does look like a properly sorted Corrado! 8)

Nice looking car mate- hope you get the other one sold promptly so you can start spending on the new one!! :D

No that wasn't me mate, I actually saw the car in February when he was asking £5750 for it. It's definitely a good'un, but i didn't have the funds to buy it then!! Anyway, a month later I got a 95 VR6 in Green as well, so am now happy!! Welcome to the forum,. and enjoy the motor!! 8)

I think I went to see this one as well... did you buy it from Kim Speicher?? (think that was his name..) What did you pay for it if you don't mind me asking?

It sounds as if it has to be the wiring mate, maybe when the stereo was played around with they may have pulled a few of the wires out from the plugs or not earthed them properly. Whip the centre console- only take 15 mins or so to get it out and have a butchers....

Saw a nice Mystic Blue Storm on London Tonight News, reg was N199 ***

Mate, i really, really like the look of your car 8)

Got the little buggers..... everything out now and just waiting for the replacement matrix so hopefully all plain sailing from here.........as long as i put everything back correctly!!!! The car looks like it belongs in the breakers!! :cry:

Does anyone know where the screws that hold the dashboard to the engine compartment are? Have looked under the bonnet beneath the water tray but can't identify them anywhere. Presumably there is one either side of the engine comp[artment fro left and right??

Cheers guys. Have managed to download it now, so hopefully plain sailing to have it sorted!!

Thanks drmat,but it doesn't seem to be downloading properly. Maybe it is because i'm in an internet cafe??

Saw a nice black VR6going down the M3 on Thursday evening about 5ish. It had the licence plate ; ROD*** Any takers?? Looked clean

Love to see that tearing up the strip! 8) What is the engine from?

Anyone??

I think the Cooper S is a good car and handles beautifully. A friend of mine has one, and although it doesn't feel fast, it is. They do have to be worked quite hard though, and the torque is pretty pants too- you have to keep dropping it a gear if your gonna keep up with anything quick

Believe me these R34's are the dog's danglies. My father imported one from Dubai 5 years ago and has only just sold it for 911 Turbo. IMO it is the best car I have ever driven and been in. They are scarily quick, and I have never seen anything that came close on any type of road, motorway, country lanes etc..... I once had enormous fun playing with a 330CI on a dual carriageway- 2 young guys trying to give it, and believe me, they disappeared behind so quickly, it was unreal. 8) 8)

Heater matrix has well and truly given up the ghost..... all the signs: passenger footwell soaked, smoke coming out of the vents etc... Decided to tackle this myself, but would really appreciate some help- maybe even a guide to follow in the replacement of it. I'm gonna remove the dash completely and get to the bugger. Used the search but can't seem to download a guide that was put up on the subject. Anyone know any links to this guide- would very much appreciate it. Thabks, Sean

Have just moved to Pimlico in London and work in Victoria

That Merc CLK is awesome. EVO Magazine (the only decent car mag) reckons it is way better than the SLR and only100made so uber-rare!! 8)

Impressive stuff, but would rather have a porky........ 8)

Saw a lovely blue Corrado in Chambery, French Alps yesterday- Had Porsche wheels and Audi RS Badges on the front grille. Looked wicked. Also a red VR being driven by a lady around Sloane Square this afternoon!

There not gonna crack straight away. I'm sure you can get away with using them for at least a few days

Welcome aboard mate!! Yourgonna loveit here.... :)

wouldn'yt know on the seats mate.... could do with a little air in the front right tyre though :wink:
