  1. right. Thanks to all your advise...i got shot of the 8v....Yesterday i picked up Mullets g60, for exactly the same price i sold my 8v for. i have not been able to get the stupid grin off my face since i picked it up at heathrow yesterday....its an animal!....oh what a difference a stage 4 charger and a miltek de-cat can make!. Theres a few things that need doing here and there (( here we go again )) but its a good solid car that's a credit to its former owner, you can tell its a well loved car. cheers for the advice people. Dave
  2. yw... im liking the sound of the smoothed rear! :wink:
  3. eh?...i spose that was misleading.. Speedlines are the original alloys and DO NOT need to be declared. meaning..even alloys that arent standard need to be declared. so as your speedlines were standard on your car...you dont need to declare them. :D
  4. just have to say VR6...the spec on your car sounds fecking awsome....i havent read it up to now...beige leather recaros .......mmmmmmmmmmmmmm
  5. yep...ANYTHING that isnt standard should really be declared...even alloys. p.s....well done on ur purchase mate.
  6. i dont spose anyones got a spare g60 lying around aswell have they?
  7. sharp blade....or long nails eh jaffa...i mean andi :wink:
  8. hehehe...nothing suprises me with ebay....anyway 2 aint enought...i needed about 6 combined last time to get 2 full " corrado-forum.net " 's. :wink:
  9. ahhh..nice one....that would explain why 2 of my mates also have these markings.....incidently the car was a complete pig!.
  10. well done dudes.....looked like a goodun to me too!.... hope you saved a bit of money for fuel though :wink:
  11. it might be a silly suggestion...but ive heard that typa noise being made my a stone caught in the fan...? it's certainly not a nice noise anyway!.
  12. hehe...soon as the moneys cleared mate... :wink: by the way...i dont think ive got the other things you were after. :( It wasnt a fair whack over what i paid...but i have put alot of miles on the car, been to spain in it...had a bang in it..(( repaired at the garage that the guys bro works for )) and got a set of oz turbos out of it so im happy...and so are they. im on the hunt for raddos now.... :mrgreen:
  13. its sooooo weird.....i feel a bit numb....i know it was an 8v...but that was its only problem..... i had it machine polished last week...i had put a eyebrow spoiler on a few days ago....i had the 4 parking dinks taken out by a paintless dent removal place last week too....so she was looking awsome when she rolled away....the people who bought it live 80ft away from my mums house which is a git...id rather it went to someone in Scotland or something :roll: My mrs has gone out with the girls straight from work tonight so im gonna have her pissed nagging to deal with later aswell...just to rub it in :( I would be gratefull if you had some spare stickers for my next 'c' though Jim, im not gonna be spending Vr6 money....so its looking like lader time. The car im seeing tomorrow has no charger rebuild paperwork but has initials and a date etched in apparently....so ill have to factor a trip to g-works into the cost if i like the look of it. Ive never been one to rush into buying cars...i looked at quite a few 'c's before buying the 8v...so im happy to wait months for the right car.
  14. dirty beggers, SOLD AS SEEN. just watched a car that i have put a years worth of blood sweat and tears into drive off....ill be honest...ive never had a feeling like it...im still in shock!. :( :cry: But .....buisiness is business...i have had the car for a year...put over 20k on the clock...and have just sodl it at a healthy profit. thanks very much for all your advise..it made the choice alot easier. From 1 corrado ...to 2 corrados...to 0 corrados in the space of 2 and a half weeks.....pretty weird. :cry:
  15. again...thanks for your comments...truly helpful. Ive had a lengthy conversation with the guy on the phone. At first he was trying to beat me down on the price i have stated....this wasnt very fruitful for him!. He then tried to get me to agree to have the CV boot and PAS pump done for his wife next week (( although he wants the car today )) for the agreed price.... :nono: .... I have tried to explain the position that we are in......i do not have a " for sale " sign on my car..indeed it is not actually for sale. They approached me and asked if i would sell it to them......this has put the ball in my court and unfortunatly for them thats where its gonna stay. I have given them a price that i would sell the car for...and its up to them to decide if they want to pay it or not....the price i have given is a fair price for both parties. The guy is finishing work ealry this avo...and has asked how i will take payment...so it looks like its curtains for the 8v. p.s. HAVE ARRANGED A VIEWING TOMORROW..............................charge me up baby.
  16. boom..he just rang me and tried to knock me down and i refused. YOUR COMMENTS HAVE HELPED ALOT!!!!! im off now to go sell her.. :( to be continued.......................................................

    Rear Brace

    and we all know kev likes a good :D
  18. bas tards......total scum bags. I have a centre console...but someone MIGHT be buying it...if they dont ill pm you mate..... i also have a drivers side window if thats the one they smashed? hope you get it sorted...its a nightmare if you've just moved because now you'll be peter paranoid all the time. p.s.....wasnt the stereo a face-off?
  19. cheers jim......it was a good offer...the car does have some emotional attachment to me and my g/f for one reason or another, but i'm not the typa person to let that get in the way of a good deal....its more the worry of selling a peach and buying a shed. its a bloody difficult choice.....and iver got a feeling im gonna have a phone call soonish, ill have to make my mind up one way or tuther.
  20. Bonjour, I was hoovering my car on my mums drive yesterday when a lady (( quite attractive as it happens! )) who was jogging past stopped..." ive been waiting to see the owner of this car.....i HAVE to have it...its the most sexy car ive ever seen.....i HAVE to buy it...is it for sale " she said....... well my answer to that is " everythings for sale at the right price " Within 10 mins her hubby was on the drive looking around the car....they were DESPERATE to buy my car....they wanted to take it there and then....but i calmed things down by ensuring that they know what they are doing..(( they didnt know ANYTHING about the 'c'....even how to pronounce it!, )) but as soon as she had a test drive and got the spoiler up she was smitten :wink: . Hubbys brother is a mechanic/MOT tester in reputable local garage so i took the car to see him....he gave it a good going over and noticed my CV boots leaking and the PAS pump whining a bit ...but other than that his words were " bomb proof " So im left with a dilema....as most of you know i have an 8v. Its mintos in every way (( as far as they go ! ))....everything works, it drives like a new car.....BUT....its an 8v...and ever since ive had the car ive wanted to change the engine.....so now i have an offer...a pretty good one too...im a bit nervous of selling it.....i would obviously be buying another 'c'...but im worried im gonna buy one with loads of probs that i know i have had sorted on my 8v....im not a speed demon....but the 8v 'c' is UNDER powered in my opinion....so the chance to get a few more horses would be nice. so what do you people?...sell or keep?...your input would be gratefully recieved.....when i asked my mrs for her opinion she burst into tears at the thought of the car being sold....not much help :roll: p.s....plus the fact that theres no more "corrado forum " stickers left.. :cry:
  21. :lol: sounds like the sorta thing i'd do!... My mums got a ford on 9k miles....its just had a new clutch...its already had the suspension replaced.....moral of the strory..........dont buy a ford.
