  1. A bit :offtopic1: But I'm after a new set of rims and liking yours. How much were they excluding tyres if you dont mind me asking????
  2. OOooof what am i on - posted the last one in the wrong thread!!!!
  3. I may be interested as my folks live near there!
  4. readers wives, sorry cars!! Sorry - I was expecting to see Fiesta!!!!!! :lol: :oops: :oops:
  5. Save up £32000 and go to the Tuners Shop and into HPA Racing and buy the Bi-Turbo Golf R32 - It's pushing about 530Bhp and is good for completing alot of the races. However go into the special stages that has all the rallys in which is in the bottom left of the screen. Enter the second rally down which is 2 races on the same track (just opposite directions!) When you win that race you get a Toyota Riad Rally Car - Sell it and it will earn you £265,000 credits!!
  6. The only thing I have noticed about GT4 is that of all the car maufacturers that are there - There are some key players in the supercar market missing!!! Why arent Ferrari, Lamboghini and Porsche (RUF is tuning company specialising in Porsches but are not the actual manufacturers!!!) in the game????
  7. £4,500 Will buy you a nice G60 and personally I love the G60 (Hence owning one!) However mine is a second car and yes I find it expensive, but thats probbly because I've spent alot modifying it. I do think though on the amount of mileage your talking about the G60 is going to be an expensive long term option. You can't just take them into any old garage to have work done as they need to be looked at by those that know what they are doing. I think personally if you want a runaround less hassle car the VR6 may be the better option! However you'll need a responce from a VR owner to tell you about running costs on them!!
  8. Well - Just completed my first ever lap of Nurburgring in 7min 37.77 And thats a nasty piece of circuit!!!
  9. And will they go over Brembo Calipers??? with 17" Rims?
  10. Jay In all seriousness, I think doing all the work yourself as you have to such a high standard is as Phil K stated far better than having a chequebook perfect car. There is a sense of acheivement when you can sit back and say "I did that!!" Fair play to you. I've seen the car at the shows as well and I wouldn't have the cheek to say that it doesn't bear up to close inspection and is obviously DIY. Rob H - We are all entitled to our own opinions and I wouldn't take that away from anyone, however I would suggest a that a little bit of tact was advisable!!! Keep up the good work Jay!!
  11. Putting them next to a size 5 shoe does make them look quite large doesn't it!!! joker: Only kidding - looking good!! What brakes are they AP Racing???
  12. Doing the Exhaust manifold doesn't increase the bhp, however it will increase the torque of the engine!
  13. Bojmobile - I just got the Cadillac Cien also Get it to the Cadillac tuners - mines now pushing about 967bhp And then NOS ontop of that. It's an Animal!

    Ring Awesome GTI website is http://www.awesome-gti.co.uk/vw%20corrado/engine.html
  15. Henny - I won't be at the next MK meet as my motor is in Pro-Tune in Stafford having a full custom built FMIC setup and custom inlet and butterfly valve intot the throttle body. Going to be another 2-3 weeks before it is finished.
  16. Would love to know if this would suit my early bonnet
  17. Still none for me :( :cry: :( :cry: :( :cry: :( :cry: :( :cry:
  18. There is no fitting panel that goes round it. The panel sits about an inch back in the cubby hole. You need to use a hot nail or similar to make a couple of guide holes in the bottom of the cubby hole for the 2 spikes that are in the bottom of the panel. Then I got a strip of plastic from B&Q that had a 90 degree bend in it. Attached that to to top of the cubby hole for it to screw into. There is a guide in more depth and pics on one of the corrado owners clubs sites (canada's I think!) however it seems the Corrado Club GB site is down again and the link is on there. Heres a bit of a blurred pic of mine fitted
  19. I'm paying £480 for my G60 All Mods declared and the 6 points I have living in the City Centre of Birmingham. I'm 28 with No no claims. But on a limited mileage policy as is my second car. Still no one else was able to beat it. With Chris Knott
  20. I'm now using a partly modded (mainly weight reduction and NOS) Evo VII
  21. 16vG60 will cost you somewhere in the region of £2500 to £3K to do it properly yourself. To pay someone else even more.

    Blinging!!!!

    You'd have to constantly polish it to keep it that way umless you could get it laqued in someway that is not heat affected. I'm having all polished, laquered Aluminium pipework for my intercooler system being put on this week. But not sure if that will be subjected to quite the same temperature!
