Does anyone who owns my old car NXI 887 ?

Thanks

Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this. Admin please move if needed please.

Last night I wondered about my old car and the "Smart Vehicle" app I use says it's been SORN since 2017. So just wondered if anyone here owns it or knows about it ?

Forgot to say that the receipt from crucial is included. It was bought 2 months ago so there's loads of the 3 year warranty left.

It just gets better and better :shock: 8)

Bloody hell I haven?t updated this thread in ages lol

Right ............. The car didn?t make it to UD so that?s 3 years in a row a car of mine hasn?t gone :confused4: :( :( :(

All was set for it to be ready but last Saturday I became ill so didn?t put it back together in time. Im still ill now and some of you might have seen me wondering around UD looking like poop lol

This is how the car was two days ago and how it has been for the last few weeks !!!!!

Ive been working on quite a few things like wheels but they were a bit wide for the back

So ive had the back of the wheels machined down 10mm and the adaptors are now 20mm (25 before) Ive also put some -1.5deg shims on the back from Regal.

Better but ill get all four on until I pass judgement lol

Front end is going Bora 8)

Bit dirty atm though !!

Ive also fitted a showcage

Retrimed the headlining in back and replaced all the interior plastics with black :grin: :lol:

Ive got a whole lot more things going on and ill update this asap :ignore:

Yes it is yours. Demonvw stickers in the rear quarters. It just pulled up at the roundabout outside work. Guy must have thought I was some sort of nutter walking round him to check!!!!!!!!!!!!

lol Cheers mate :D

Good to see its being used daily like I did. One of the main reasons I put the air-ride on it, and the fact it looks so good when its slammed :lol:

Im not 100% sure that the car seen in Ireland is my old Corrado !!!

I sold it to the guy from Exeter in March and he sold it in July. The post on Vagdrivers is "Apr 16 2007"

:?

Spotted by a mate of mine in Dublin with Irish plates on it a few months back!

Thanks mate 8)

These should look good but for the rest of the plans you'll have to wait for Ultimate Dubs !! lol

I MIGHT make it this year as the last two years with the Corrado didnt go very well. 1st year the car was stuck in the body shop from Nov - April !!! and last year I had a wheel fall off the back :shock: Turned out to be the new "high" (crap) quality wheel bolts.

I went to the shows in the end but in my g/f's car.

Im not looking to get it back as im up to my eyeballs in Mk4 Golf atm :lol: :lol: :lol:

I was asked about it at work today and it got me thinking.

Has anyone seen my old Corrado about ????

I sold it in March last year to a guy who lives near Exeter but he then sold it a few months later !!! I went to most of the shows in '07 and didn

Been a while :oops: I see my old Corrado has been sold on by the guy who bought it from me. Last seen by my mate in Coventry .......... anyone else seen it ?????????

Loads of updated pics of the Mk4 :shock: :lol:

Ive changed the rear lights more than once and settled for the M3 style ones 8) also some Anniversary style front lights for £60 brand new on Ebay :shock:

Seeing as ive always been in two minds about the wheels, ive been on the lookout for something else :roll:

I bought these a couple of days ago

Three piece Mirror polished Mercedes AMG

8.5 x 17 front + 10 x17 rears 8)

I should have some tyres next week ........ that’s if im not working ALL the time :(

Airride will be going on but not til later this year !!!!!!!!

Ive got interior plans that im sorting atm and the wheels are being dropped off this weekend.

lol Im not selling the house as Ive only just bought it :lol: Next door is up forsale, they are new builds so im using their driveway for both our cars :lol:

Ive ordered some FK highsports for now. I didn’t want to spend mega money on coils so I could put the extra aside for the air.

Cheers guys :D Yep a few plans in the pipeline :lol:

The tyres are 225/40/18 8)

You cant really tell in the pics but the car is really really dirty !!! It was dirty when I collected it :roll: and it was just 10min after the 250mile trip back from Norfolk. I think it looks good in the pics so when Ive done the clay/polish and wax it should look even better 8) 8) :(

Since I sold my Corrado at the weekend I needed to find a new car. Id been looking around for a while for a Black/20vTurbo/3 door/Mk4 Golf but for some reason 3 door cars are like hens teeth !!!!!!!!!!!

I didn’t want to compromise on any other details but I really like the dark green and grey Golfs and found this car on PistonHeads (10min after the owner had posted it lol)

Ive got loads planned already set for the car inc dropping the wheels off with Pureklas on Saturday morning to be polished and ive bought some coilovers today so its going low very soon.

It drives spot on and the only 2 faults ive found so far are the stupid Bailey dumpvalve that goes WWWOOOOOOOOOSSSSHHHH

with only a very slight lift of the gas !!!!! and the starter motor has just about packed in but I got some money off the car to cover the cost (and more :D :D )

Watch this space for updates soon ;)

Yesterday I sold my Corrado !!!!!!!!!!

The new owner drove all the way up from Devon to collect, about 4ish hours each way

So as a final tribute to the ups and downs of the last 2.5 years here’s some cool pics

New car / project starting ASAP so watch this space 8)

Cheers guys :D :D :D

Yandards Its also a shame that they had to make up half the words for it :roll: Apparently I get slated on VW forums because its not OEM :shock: :shock: I dont think Ive ever heard a bad word said about my car........... yet :wink:

Today I bought a copy of Max Power :D TBH I cant remember the last time I bought the mag lol BUT the "new look" does seem to be an improvement and in the back it says that the Corrado VR6 is the best coupe to buy 8) 8) 8)

The reason I bought it is because my car is featured !!!!!

Made me have second thoughts about selling when I read it

Well I just called my dad who works for Amersham Audi. He ordered it today and said it was £150, but wasnt sure if that was plus the VAT.

Sorry for being off topic but my brother works there 8) :D

JBOB- love the feature ;) mate at work buys fast car, max power etc etc was looking for mine and found yours hahahahahaha

lol

Its good then ............. Ive been everywhere today trying to buy it but nowhere has it. Ive been into WH Smiths three times today !!!!!!!!!!!!

damn thats a nice pic!!!!!

 

shame ya car couldnt make it, wanted to see what the air ride was like. im thinking or converting now also ;)

Glad you like it 8) I wanted the bonnet down but couldnt see you anywhere.

Madness..... :roll:

Id say so :lol: :lol:

Ive got 93 watchers this morning :shock:

My car didn’t make it in the end. Seems that the local auto factors is selling inferior wheel bolts :mad: All sorted now but really gutted it wasn’t at the show.

I got some cool pics of your car today. Ill post them up when I download them from the camera.

Im not 100% sure what will be next but it WILL be VAG 8)
