  1. Is this your best price mate? Little out of my budget, don't need tyres if that can bring the price down?
  2. See description. Front wing preferably blackberry in colour, must be clean. Alloy wheels, I'm open to suggestions to fit Corrado Vr6. Need a rear view mirror in the cheap if anybody breaking.
  3. Looking for speedline to fit 96 VR6. Cash waiting if price is right.
  4. Hi there, I'm a new owner and a novice. Im there are some wheels I like for my 96 reg Corrado VR6. They are 5x100 et15 9x16 wheels with 215/40/16 tyres. Will that fit on a standard ride height car? If not what measures can be taken to get them to fit ? Spacers, adaptor a, arch mods? And what kind of costs can be incurred? I was going to ask on the thread but I'm viewing them tomorrow.

    Louder VR6

    Hi there recently removed an old cone filter previous owner had left on and have reverted to an original airbox and K&N panel filter. It seems better on the pick up, but the noise is pretty much gone all together now. Is there a happy medium? What are my options? Exhaust systems will give off a different note. Does drilling the airbox make it much louder? Is it worth whacking on another cone and switching back to standard when I'm bored? Will a nice exhaust system help? I'm not interested in taking the suitcase off and all that as it's too loud, any suggestions you have are appreciated.
  6. The fuel that originally was in would've been old but my sons been running high octane through it for a month now.
  7. Ok thanks lads. I'll have a tinker tomorrow, it's booked in to the stage for Tuesday aswell so I'll pass on this info to the mech to plant some ideas for him. I'll keep you all posted, thanks for taking the time to reply, we can help with PC's in this house but not cars haha!
  8. Other notes- it was sat for a long time, and the fuel pump was cleared of crap, had new leads, spark plugs too.
  9. Hi there, my son recently bought a Corrado VR6 1996 reg with almost 70k on the clock. Being completely honest with you he's a bit out of his depth as everyone in the household is useless with cars, and looking online in google all the help sections I see explain it jargon and acronyms we can't make head nor tail of, a chap in work said the guys here are very helpful so I thought I drop by. The Corrado starts up, and then cuts out unless revs are kept really high. The car will stay running if you set off in gear and keep the revs high for a short time. It doesn't happen everytime it starts though which is what's confusing us, it's done it in cold and warm starts so I haven't a clue what to check. Last night it got worse and starting cutting out, he pulled off in gear, got a short distance and it died again, when he tried to start it up it wasn't even firing your could hear it trying to start, it was only after pumping the gas as we turned the ignition it finally started up again. Any idea what could be causing this? If you could helpme in idiots terms that would be helpful, or even just some suggestions I could pass on to the mechanic in the garage. Thanks very, very much in advance. Also one last thing, is the radiator fan meant to stay on for a few minutes after the cars been turned off?
  10. Afternoon gents, My radiator fan that comes on when stopped is now making loads of noise, ive looked, and it appears to be a 'rubber seal'or O-ring on the centre of the fan come loose, so im assuming its running dry, which is grim. I've taken a video for those who really need to see/hear it, but i'd have to make an account on a vid host website, but you can see the ring is loose. If you're leaning under the bonnet, it's on the fan on your right. I'm useless under the bonnet but have the funds. Should it not be driven?
  11. Thanks mate bought that one straight up. Case closed :)
  12. See title, looking for a standard airbox set-up, pref. unmolested. To fit a 96 VR6. Cash waiting.
  13. Thanks for all the replies guys, its going in to the garage tomorrow and i've mentioned what i think the problem could be. It seems to come on at 110, should it be going that high?
  14. Hi there guys, For a week or two now my oil light has been coming on and beeping and annoying the **** out of me. The car is 96 reg VR6 standard engine, 66k mileage. There seems to be no pattern to it coming on, it may be prolonged use and when cruising at a set speed, as it stops SOMETIMES when i put my foot down. - Checked the oil, healthy colour, healthy level. Getting it changed next week as part of a mechanical novices trial and error program. - The engine will not be getting cooled as much as i'd like to as the previous owner has left me with a rusty old cone filter, so reverting back to a standard set-up box on payday. - The car was sat for a number of years before returning to daily use. I can't say i've noticed what revs or conditions trigger it. I'm no mechanic so could use a little advice here. Thanks in advance
