Car related so thought ok to put in here. Suffice to say tomorrow is a bit of a D-day for me:shock: . I may or may not be a Corrado driver by this time tomorrow night but hopefully, fingers crossed, things will go ok:? . Will keep updated when I get home after it's all over, Cheers, BigEastSideTartanTimmehG60

I reckon it's going to put out 210 BHP+ and stick a decent intercooler on there and you'd see 220BHP+, i.e custom front-mount, Forge / Pace Products, Pitstop Developments, Golf G60 FMIC or possibly the Jabba one, although, gains seem to be small using the Jabba one compared to the others ? Cheers and good luck, BigEastSideTartanTimmehG60

Yeah sounds cheap mate, even if it has a Jabba charger, snap it up ! Seen G60 engines go for anything between £750-£1100 so good deal methinks ? Does it come with gearbox included ? BigEastSideTartanTimmehG60

Yeah, cheers for that, looks like the Golk one is a Trimsport item as it looks identical to the ones I saw at Malvern on Sunday. Just a bit of a hassle, as the guy at Trimsport says he need to know the exact model number of the actual handbrake assembly in order for him to give me a correct one (3 choices of Corrado fitment available). I also quite like the MOMO metallic ones and I think someone on this forum has one fitted to their Corrado ? Cheers, BigEastSideTartanTimmehG60

Hi Andrew, I have a set of BBS G60 rims you could use for a few days...,if they are not sold by then, Cheers, Struan / BigEastSideTartanTimmehG60

Hey all, Someone on here has a post up about cutting a bit of MDF and then covering it in cloth to lie flat on their bootfloor to act as a baseboard for their boot install but I can't find it anywhere, can anyone help me out ? Cheers, BigEastSideTartanTimmehG60

Anyone actually got one of these fitted to their Corrado and any pics ? Cheers, BigEastSideTartanTimmehG60

The one I'm selling doesn't fit my Corrado, hence me asking where I could get another one, Sorry for any misunderstanding, BigEastSideTartanTimmehG60

Hey all, I'm looking for an alloy handbrake handle for my Corrado. Has anyone purchased one and fitted it to their C and have a pic of it fitted ? Where did it come from and how much etc. ? Not looking for anything too chavvy just something nice and subtle to match other alloy / chrome bits in my interior ? Cheers, BigEastSideTartanTimmehG60

Ar5e..., Oh well, some force and screwdriver leverage resulted in....broken plastic handbrake handle. Right, hopefully I can get the new one fitted, Cheers, BigEastSideTartanTimmehG60

Arrrgh ! Can't get this damn handbrake cover off at all ! Have found a tab at top and bottom of the plastic end of the handbrake cover and tried to get it off by pulling whilst pressing tabs but it won't budge, any other ideas ? Cheers, BigEastSideTartanTimmehG60

Hey all, Hmmn, looks like a good quality bit of kit albeit a tad expensive in my opinion. Worth bearing in mind that I believe you can get the same sort of kit from another company for about £500 ? I managed to get my full custom made intercooler setup fabricated by Pace Products including intercooler, Mocal oil cooler and installation kit, polished alloy pipwork including Greddy 180 deg. U-bend and blue silicone hosing for £800 all in. The intercooler itself IS huge compared to alternatives available and fits neatly in front of the radiator (slam panel needed slight modification). Cheers, BigEastSideTartanTimmehG60

Hey all, As many of you will know I am trying to sell my G60 at the moment. I received this email today to my hotmail account and tbh, sounds a bit dodgy.

Cheers, BigEastSideTartanTimmehG60

Aye, That blue Mk1 was originally a left-hooker 1.6 diesel. It became Rover 3.5L V8-powered (from an old SD1) using the Rover gearbox and propshaft mated to a Sierra 1600cc rear axle. Cost the guy £500 in total :shock: Final evolution of the Mk1 resulted in it getting a BMW 3-series dash, Cossie pedal box, 5-injectors, Emerald M3 V8 Mappable ECU, Cossie diff, propshaft and rear axle, Cossie 4x4 helix clutch, Cossie brakes, Cossie LSD, 4.2L block from the Range Rover Vogue, TWO Garret T3 turbo's with homemade manifolds and a BMW 530d radiator. RR figures were around 377 BHP at 4000 rpm........ Absolutely mental and I have a magazine article on it from an early issue of The Golf if anyone wants more info Cheers :D BigEastSideTartanTimmehG60

AFAIK, You need everything to retrofit electric windows. You need the switches, loom and connectors, regulators, electric window motors and the window control unit which sits behind the rear doorcard, Cheers, BigEastSideTartanTimmehG60

Sets of adapters sometimes crop up on eBAY mate, search for Porsche wheel adapters. Also you can get them from loads of other places new, e.g GwentVW, tunershop.co.uk, DubClub Racing etc. Cost between £150-£200 for a set of 4. Cheers, BigEastSideTartanTimmehG60

My G60 (1991 16V originally) has no sunroof and originally had no electric windows either, these were retrofitted by the previous owner. Cheers, BigEastSideTartanTimmehG60

I got my set from trimsport last year, they said probably wouldn't fit as I had early interior, but there was no issues at all, £18 delivered and adds a nice touch ! Cheers, BigEastSideTartanTimmehG60

Saw this on another site and had to post a link, http://www.walkersgarage.co.uk/s4_new.htm FOR SALE- Lancia Delta S4 Stradale (duel-charged rally spec monster!) Gorgeous ! Cheers, BigEastSideTartanTimmehG60

Saw this on another site and had to post link: http://www.steev.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6301 Lancia Y10 Integrale EVO. Yes, that's right, 2 litre 16V turbo lump from Integrale EVO running 350+ BHP with complete 4wd running gear in a modified Lancia Y10 chassis, insane but a hoot ! :D Cheers, BigEastSideTartanTimmehG60

Nice, Liking them a lot, think 20_VT (not sure about username), the guiy with 20VT-converted Nugget Yellow C has these on his car along with Brembo's, nice combo ! Cheers, BigEastSideTartanTimmehG60

Just looked through latest PVW and Golf+ mags and saw this 3-gauge panels to replace the stereo slot available from Venom Motorsport (01254 814444) £20.00 plus delivery. I believe a few other places do them as well, including Big Boys Toys, R & A Design, Performance solutions and Gwent VW etc. Cheers, Cheers, BigEastSideTartanTimmehG60

Hey all, My sister has just got herself a 2001 W registration MK4 1.6. She wants to put some alloys onto it but is not sure of the PCD / ET and which size would suit best. I was thinking she could just put a set of MK4 GTi alloys on but not sure if they are the same PCD etc. ? Also if anyone knows of any decent standard VW o r aftermarket alloys (with tyres) that would fit please let me know, Cheers, BigEastSideTartanTimmeh

Would quite like to see the spec list for the engine in this G60 posted up please if possible ? Cheers, BigEastSideTartanTimmeh
