  5. Last May I bought Stoney's R32. Stoney's build thread. I previously owned a G60, which was sold as soon as I heard word that this car was going to be available. G60 build thread. Dan had built it over a number of years, with insane receipts for body and engine work done, as his build thread shows. However, there was still a fair bit left to do, including electrical & interior work. Having spent a fortune on buying the car in the first place it's been slow work getting it up to the standard the paint and engine deserves. Here's a run down of spec: Engine - R32 running DTA S60 Pro Management Dubpower Manifold and Cat Bypass G-werks Full S/Steel Exhaust System Vibratechnics engine mounts Jetex air filter All new ancillaries, expansion tank, washer bottle etc Fully rebuilt VR6 gearbox Peloquin LSD Chassis - Fully Powdercoated Subframes / Wishbones / Rear beam Powerflex bushes throughout H&R front and rear Anti Roll Bars KW V1 Coilovers Mk4 Top mounts Ibiza Cupra R Brembos – 305mm discs 280mm Rear disc conversion Mk4 rear calipers Goodridge braided hoses front and rear Wheels – Summer - Front: 17x7” Porsche Targa Splits, Refurbed with new bolts etc 195/40 Pirelli P Zero Nero’s Rear: 17x9” Porsche Targa Splits, Refurbed with new bolts etc 205/40 Pirelli P Zero Nero’s Winter - 17x7.5” Porsche Cayenne Sports, Powder coated in Beige. 205/40 Toyo Proxes T1R’s Exterior - Full Repaint in LC3U Dark Burgundy Pearl Smoothed Sills, Rear, Aerial, Bump strips Red rear lights Tinted side repeaters Aero wipers Debadged grill/eyebrow with R32 Badge New headlights/fogs/indicators Smoothed wing mirrors Interior - Konig K5000 seats, trimmed in Corrado Light Beige Custom front door cards, window switches & door pins deleted Corrado Light Beige rears seats and door cards Leather trimmed roof lining, sunroof lining and A/B/C pillars VR6 steering wheel Corrado centre gauges Custom dash mounted window switches Custom rear cup holder ICE – Pioneer P77 Head unit Genesis Profile 5 amp Genesis 12” Sub JL Audio C5-650 X components Audioscape 6.5” door pods I think that's about everything! Today I took the car out properly for its first show, having spend the last four days cleaning and polishing! My brother took some pics on his DSLR, so I should have them in the next couple of days. In the mean time, here's a quick Instagram snap from today's 'Caring with Cars' meet.
  6. hmm.. this happened before! surprised you're now thinking about doing it again - you know you'll be buying it back in a couple of years!

    Car Wax?

    i used a layer of 915 today over freshly mopped paint and it was much easier to remove than i remembered. defo very very thin coats and smooth paint make life so much easier!
  10. Fixed! I'm not a big fan of neat spirits, if i'm at home I rarely drink anything but water/squash! On a night out, I go for 8 pints of Cider [NOT Magners/Strongbow - I'm from the west country thankyou.] then onto Havana 5 & Coke or Hennessy & Coke. I do like a good Mojito or LIIT though - good choices. I despise Sambuca!
  11. theres another guy from new zealand who recently joined the forum - he's had a few parts shipped out from the uk so far including getting a remap done here! you could be miles apart but might be useful to have another contact there! http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?63553

    Car Wax?

    Probably put too much on, wax should be spread very thin..
  13. Bright blue seats in a moonlight blue car will just look terrible, that's all! :lol: That vortex link shows that the seats sit higher than mk2 subframes which are already too high for the Rado. It's a nice write up, but no good for us :(
  14. No probs, hadn't realised that you wanted grey anyway :) It may actually look as though these will only be available in black. Speaking with another manufacturer today they advised that to order a specific colour i would have to order half a tonne of material!! That's probably enough to do every corrado ever made! They do have a grey available, but not in a leather effect and it's very very light grey so wouldnt match anyway. By tomorrow evening I could have everything in place to get the ball rolling with this very quickly. I'll update as soon as i know more.
  15. i bloody love that sunroof deflector. is it something youve seen done before? Never thought of that. Wish i needed other paint to justify doing mine too!
  16. Check the last few pages of Bally's thread for an idea of how good they can look 8) http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?16685
  17. too late.. i've got the money out and im on my way!
  18. I see what you're saying and I'm not intending to do anything to stop anyone else making a cupholder, for themselves or to sell on. The main issue is this is a niche product, in a small market so if everyone's making one, I won't be able to spread the production costs far enough to hit the price requirements. I am interested to hear if there's anything this cupholder doesn't offer, that you might be looking into changing yourself? Like I said from the start, this was just an idea for myself, but as others are now happy to contribute financially to this happening I am more then open to listening to suggestions! Indeed.. from initial guides I had today on costing this wont be able to happen without around 50 units. Any less and costs will be about £30 per person - Too high! haha! Hopefully I don't need that! I can't think there are enough corrado's worldwide to warrant a patent!
  19. so you don't want to argue a concours car being 4.5-5k Kip? I'll be round with the cash in the morning. :)
  20. Saw these earlier, pretty expensive considering no door cards, but I really miss mine!
  21. Not a pain at all bud - in fact it may make life easier! Until I've been to the manufacturers tomorrow I wont know how easy it will be to do different colour runs once the moulds are made. They may have minimum order quantities for each colour, I'm not sure. Also, I Don't know yet how close a grey or beige colour match will be, whereas black is black!
