vr6storm

only if they are weighing them with me and my twin :wink: :-P ......the Escort Cossie weighs much and such the same as the Corrado VR6(1275kg's v 1240kg's) and the original 3dr Sierra cossie weighed in at 1200kg whereas the 4dr 4x4 saphy Cossie came in at around 1300kg's......all those figures were measured by the same method by the same magazine(Autocar)

A Passat? :lol: quality :D :D :D :D :D

Why not have a deal with him & get him to have it re-gassed before you buy the car ?? yeah i'm with stevemac here.....make it part of the deal to get it checked over by an A/C specialist......even if it means you paying for it to get serviced once its been given the all-clear that is...........

spotted a blue H-plater 16v or G60 :oops: in stonehaven town centre this afternoon

looking good 8) ...........but could you please keep this one C to just the one member's gallery thread :wink: anyway to keep it current i've locked the thread listed below :wink: http://the-corrado.net/.archive/forum/viewtopic. ... ht=#134625

i'll lock this thread up to tidy things tho :wink:

i wouldn't say no...............the mk3 Golf VR is very under-estimated IMO.......all they need is some minor suspension tweaking and they'll be soo close to the C VR that it'll all boil down to the driver's skills to which is the fastest :wink:

it maybe a Ford but then again the Corrado is just a VW :wink: ...........bear in mind that the Escort Cossie and Corrado were both built in the same factory......yet for the Escort cossie wearing a Ford badge it murders the Corrado in the re-sale value and also tuneabilty(especially VR6) and IMHO it looks much much more menacing :twisted: thing is though any mk4 escort can be made to look like an escorst cosworth but a corrado is just a corrado tis the mk5 escort that was current(i would say based on, but as the Escort Cossie's floorpan is the same floorpan as the Sierra sapphire 4x4 :wink: ) when the Escort Cossie was launched..........the mk4 was 86C-91H/J :wink: .....but very true its easy enough to make a replica out of any 3dr mk5 escort.........but that don't make the original cr@p tho :wink:

tis just the storm that gets the group 19 status :cry:

Nice one m8, so far as I'm aware the later cozzies had approx 210bhp. Not quite so quick as the legend would have it, certainly not by modern standards. Cosworth escorts are a bit quicker - more bhp, lighter body, etc. late saphy cossie's(4x4 models) had 224bhp as standard the same as the replacement escort cossie......the only change was the larger turbo in the first few years production of the escort cossie(same as sappy cossie but for homologation purposes IIRC)..then they adopted the smaller turbo(still same power output but quicker spooling up) and also had the option of deleting the whale-tail spoiler circa 95-ish :wink:

do a search on the forum as these have been asked plenty times :wink:

there's normally a Club-GTI meet every last sunday of the month at the "Brewer's Fayre" at bucksburn(where the McDonalds drive thru is just prior to Aberdeen Airport).....normally a few ppl from the Elgin/Lossiemouth area make it down.....i'm sure they'll be more than happy to let you tag along :wink: ....not sure who owns that blue G60 tho :?

and Schwartz black too (IIRC)............but like you Kev AFAIK that was the only mk2 commonly known as the "campaign"..........joebloggs on this forum has a Schwartz black one too......i reckon ppl have passed off the run-out mk2's(J and K plate's) as "campaign's" to give it the kind of desirability that the mk1 "campaign" has

where-a-bouts in the N of Scotland then? :?: :wink:

1H0 201 511A I got a Bosch one from GSF for £8ish inc VAT and their part number for it is 12128 No idea what they cost from VAG tho. i think its roughly the same from VW.........as i had mine changed 2 years ago at its annual service and they only charged me an extra £20(supplied and fitted) over their quoted service price :wink:

me too :twisted:

all IMHO..........the only way it'll have a negative effect on the value of yer storm is if you decide to show it in "concours'de elegance" type shows as then it isn't a standard storm..............so "should" lose marks due to being non-original................in real terms tho,.it'll ("again IMHO") make yer storm more desirable if anything :wink:

or how about going for the Fiesta Zetec-S look :shock: to your classic mk2 Golf!!! :shock: :shock: :shock: pic taken from eastsideVW forum

and if you work for Aberdeen City Council.......its a local holiday!! :lol:

please keep this to the one thread :wink: .....anyway i'll lock this one up and just use the other thread re eyebrow spoilers for yer Q's :wink:
