Yep they're Estorils, they were standard on the G60 Jet i think, but don't see them on corrado's very often. They were more common on Mk 2 16V Golfs if anything, but i think only the Campaign Golfs had them.

Hello. I found a thread on doing this conversion the other day and now i can't !!!! I also found lots of different ideas and info on it. Does anyone here know what parts are needed?? I have a G60 with worn out brakes and i'm bored with my rims, so i want to convert to 5x100. Can anyone help ?/ Cheers Matt
-
I want some !! I've had 16" RS on mine for the last 2 1/2 years, but i'm gonna 5x100 my G60 and get some soon !!

Can't beleive this thread is still alive!! Its often like that though, i'll post something thinking i might get 5 replies or so and get about 20!! And if i expect loads and its more important i get nowt. Thanks for all the comments, its been absolutely no help at all, don't even know why i asked now, its a pesonal opinion as to whether it lukes good or not. I was just showing off my Corrado really :lol: :lol: I'm feeling i like the black cos i want a change, i've lowered it a tad more now which looks better...... Matt

The newer S3's are 225hp, engine code BAM (i tink). Coolant dude, nice Corrado, welcome t' forum lad !
-
Oh dear. The old Mutiple Corrado Syndrome mate!! A few have suffered from that one here i believe, i'd love a Silver VR or 2 myself, lucky git, they look awesome.

I found a load of snail shells in my engine bay a couple weeks ago, looked like some rats had been using my bay for a small banquet!! -
Sorry boss, was it a re-post? Hadn't seen it here before.

True, i could never have it that low, i struggle a bit how it is at the moment, could go a tad more but really talking about painting the centres of the RS' black when they get a refurb ......... Cheers guys

This....... or this ..........

$120, about 50 pounds, not bad i thought, that includes balancing wheels/tracking.

Thanks for that, just seen it my Bentley Manual, got the car booked in at a VW stealership who have just got the Beissbarth machine that Stealth use. Stealth set mine up when i had the Coilovers put on so hopefully it will feel like it did when Vince set it up !! Matt
-
Thats cool, i need to get mine done too, but would the settings vary on individual set-ups? i mean different ride heights/ wheel offsets and sizes etc. Cheers Matt

Shipped overseas ?? A Right Hand Drive Corrado ?? It couldn't be ......... could it ? :lol:
-
Thanks mate. I had good read through Renshaws thread, he used the Mk4 compressor and mentioned modding the cross member. Would anyone know if i would need a Steering Rack out of a VR as well ??
-
Hello. I've just read through this whole thread as i really want to do the 24V conversion on mine, which is a G60. I know Renshaws was a G60 before, has anyone else converted a G60 to 24V? I may have chance to get a Golf 4mo engine. Is it really that much harder to do on a G60? As far as i can make out, including all the parts for a conversion on a VR6, i would need a VR Gearbox. Subframe and Slam Panel. I'm assuming i need VR Driveshafts? What about the Hubs? Would i need to convert to 5 stud, meaning new brakes and wheels too? Could i use a Mk3 Golf VR Box? Is it the same as the Corrado box? Also, i would want to run Air-Con, could i use a Mk3 Golf Radiator and Air-Con parts? Or is the top hose on the Golf Rad in the wrong position? Any advise would be much appreciated. Matt

Hi, not the end of the world, or your Corrado by the sound of it mate.......... The rear wheel noise sounds like a bearing to me, i had the same happen, it was OK when iturned and put weight onto the noisy wheel, and hideous the other way. The starting issue could be your cold start valve? Not sure on that though. Your temp guage isn't working because your Black Temp Sensor has had enough, change it for a genuine VW one, the cheaper ones always cause problems, your Thermo Fan Switch sounds dead also All very cheap parts to buy, the most work would be your wheel bearing. Hope this helps. Matt
-
Just an opinion but i think they look better/ more OE with the reverse lights left clear.
-
I used the savage spray on mine, they looked good when i first done them, but now they've faided back to orange, so maybe clear laquer could pevent that ??
-
Yep, http://www.gpcvwaudi.com/ Someone told me the prices are back to front though, should be a 50mm on yours, but the 90mm will fit ... Matt
-
Good stuff, very interesting. Thanks for that Matt
-
Same here Jim, would love to know about it, notice those exhausts !! Wonder what was done to it?? Could be 16VG60 maybe?
-
Anyone know anything about this ? Its not a model or sumet is it ??
-
Am i right in thinking that its only the earlier model G60's that suffer from this ??
