  1. Sounds hopefull tho mate thanks, the Rallye one is 630mm. So i guess the next question is, has anyone put one in a Corrado G60 ?? Those twin fans would be ideal for me aswell.
  2. Been trying to get hold of a Rallye Radiator but it seems they are obsolete. The guys on edition38 reckon the VR6 Corrado rad is the same, has anyone got a pic of one ?? Isn't the top hose on the left as you look into the engine bay like on a 16V ??
  3. Looks vey nice inded mate, very clean. Will look into getting some as they will put up with the heat over here, think one of mines cracked, got a leak somewhere on Saturday, got rather hot!! Plenty of steam coming out of the expansion tank. Just need that Rallye Radiator, then i can install it with the samcos, then get the Rallye FMIC in with samcos and alloy tubing.
  4. Hello all. Are they available ?? If so who's cheapest ??
  5. They love it !! the guy had to come outside and have a look cos he's only ever seen pictures of them !!
  6. I got a price from VW Australia for it Steve, $468. Has to come from Germany. That will be about with 200 pounds with GST.
  7. nice one Darren, cheers mate!! Happy New Year
  8. One for g-man !! Anyone know ? Think its the 630mm one ??
  9. My ambient temp guage shot up to 44 degrees on Christmas eve whilst driving up the coast here, the oil temp got up to 116 tops, 112 most of the way at 65 - 75 MPH. Coming back it was 35 tops on the ambient and the oil reached 112 but mostly 106 most of the way. Mine has a standard oil cooler at the mo, so thats not bad really considering what some others are seeing here !!
  10. 16" and 17" BBS RS BBS LM Borbet A with Black centres (not on a Corrado tho) BBS RC Jay's Corvette rims suit the Corrado really well
  11. Thats a huge compliment mate considering the quality of some other OEM+ Corrado's on the Forum. OEM+ rules !
  12. Cheers guys, glad some of you like it !! The first one was at Balgowlah heights mate, which is Dobroyd head. Plenty of strange looks and questions yeah, most people seem to like it !
  13. Cheers dudes, i still got my UK plates dinkus, !! No A/C tho !! Jimbo16v, Have a read through the thread mate, alot of hassle and money but well worth it i reckon !
  14. Actually, no you can't see the bridge in that one !! Sorry !
  15. Beautiful day here in Sydney, got my parents over so was giving them a tour in the Rado, and my Dad brought his laptop so i can show you a pic at last !! Here it is at Balgowlah heights over looking the Harbour not far from where i live, you can see the city Skyscrapers in the background and the top of the harbour bridge on the right. And my new Australian 'Euro' plates !! I'lll be going down for the clasiic Opera House and Bridge backdrop soon !!
  16. Get a Golf Rallye Intercooler and Radiator set up if i were you ....
  17. I'll have to quiz him about that one, didn't even think about it at the time. I want to get some pics up but these internet places won't allow it. Need to buy a Computer soon. Apparently the prize for best Corrado is waiting for me at VW Nationals !! Should be fun !!
  18. Plenty of pies aswell, Kangaroo was 'pie of the week' not so long ago !!
  19. Merry Christmas ! 37 degrees and they're playing 'Winter Wonderland' here in Sydney ?? Had to laugh ! Grinning from ear to ear driving around here since picking the car up and getting back on the road, i've had lots of confused heads turning, beeping horns, flashing lights etc. Most people have never even heard of a Corrado let alone seen one. Its very nice to be different, according to the RTA and Customs its the only one in NSW !! Had a random one the other day, where i work, 2 doors away is a VW Mechanic, always lots of Combis around. Thought i'd pop in and ask if he's ever seen a Corrado. Turns out he has a LHD VR6 that he imported from Japan that he's converting to RHD !! He showed me pics of his old VW's, Loads of Air Cooled including a Karmann Ghia, Mk1 with 16V conversion and a Mk2 Golf with a G60 engine, he still had the G60 engine there on stands, but with a very strange Australian Supercharger on it, i'll have to get a pic of it !!
  20. Just picked the car up today, drove it over the harbour bridge !! Pics coming soon !!
  21. Drive down to G-werks, have a nice day in Brighton, then drive back with a big grin your face, problem solved.
  22. Sounds like the top non- oil-fed bearing on the top shot through the casings ??
  23. I thought it was a narrow angle V6, no ??
  24. LOL :) . I guess thats a pretty good reason then !!
