maybe a blonde moment :oops: from me..........but how can a non-cat engine have a de-cat???? :?

"book" value also doesn't take into account the "cult" and "enthusiastic" following the Corrado has either......going by Parker's just the other day.....and Parker's is wildly optimistic too :roll: even they put late Corrado VR6's at the wrong side of £5k!!! and thats with average miles and in A1 condition!!! :shock: hate to see what Glass's or CAP value them at!!! :shock: :shock: ..........."Book" prices really are just used by the trade,which unfortunately affects us too.......... :? :(

same as mine! :wink:

i take it your meaning GSF...............aka German Swedish and French.......EuroCarParts rivals..........with probably about the same network of dealers :wink:

should be some machine when you get it all back together henny :wink:

AFAIK too.....all VW parts have a 12 month guarantee.....proof of purchase is required tho :wink:

excellent choices Henny 8) i would also add BMW M3(e-30) Fiat Strada Abarth 130TC Ford Sierra RS cosworth 3dr Mercedes 190E 2.3-16v Nissan Skyline (R31) Peugoet 205 GTi 1.9 Porsche 959 8)

ah-ha!!! :lol: :wink:

tbh......if you go to your friendly BBS dealer i'm pretty sure they charge nearer £5 per cap!!!!!.........so £1.35 per cap from volvo aint too bad........and of course no-one twists yer arm off to buy them....but IMHO it really sets the wheels off 8)

a 90 VR6 Corrado?????............shurely shome mishtake :? :wink: 91 is the earliest you'll get any VR6 Corrado and i'm pretty sure the US of A didn't get the VR6 Slc til 92 like us brits...........unless of course you've transplanted the VR into a 90 G60 :wink:

well i know i aint guilty!!...............older cars all the time :wink:

Nick Micouris is the proud owner of the minter they featured :wink:

unless you've already phoned a stealer and aint happy with the prices they have quoted.........i would try the stealer IIRC they are less than £40 a corner........failing that try the usual suspects.........EuroCarParts,German & Swedish etc

its ok m8......it seems to be in the right section :wink: as for fuel economy.............on the run down and back from GTi-International when it was at Wroughton last year(2002) i was averaging 80-85mph and getting 32-ish mpg :wink:

there's also in the back pages of the past 2 weeks autocar an advert for a company that do custom tailored mats with your own logo on them........but for the life of me i can't remember :oops: :oops: the web-site that they have or the name...........something along the lines of "design mats 4u"

its ok brian.........the banter is ok......its just it can get a bit too much like something that you and martin are better just PM'ing each other about....thats all :wink:

just like in the "2.0 16v performance" thread might be an idea to start a separate thread about your wee escapades coming back from star this month............and all the other fun you've had lately :lol: :lol:

might be an idea for you two to start a separate thread about this........is getting quite a bit off-tangent as regards to the thread title :wink:

Bummer!!! :cry: ....... sorry martin you got a cold???? :lol: :lol: hehehehehe.....was told about yer wee bit of fun with your namesake yesterday .........i think F****** wheelspinning B****** were the words he used .......though haven't heard it with the induction kit on yet......but had a wee spin in it the day he picked it up........amazing sound its got.....very creamy too 8)

moi?????........try reading my previous posts marty .......i think you'll find to me the ur-quattro 8) is the best car ever.......when you get one you'll understand :wink: ..............must have been some test-drive of your polo that made you decide to get it over a Corrado VR6...........or was it charlie's sensible head that helped you choose ...........anyways i'll leave the soapbox alone......as you say its all fun and banter :lol: :lol: but as for "comparing".......i'll leave it til a lot lot better weather........don't want to end up like the last C :oops: that you were pacing on the way down to star last month :( :shock: .........also it may have escaped your attention.........but the feds are out in force lately :evil:.......and of course don't want the VR to knacker me MPG :lol: :lol:

you forgot MOT'd too :wink: ....it really is amazing what star-p can do when they "just" repair suspension damage and MoT a C :wink: needless to say good figures tho :wink: .............pity it wasn't on the rollers on the 30th :( ........still nevermind there's always the VWCCGB one in 2004............normally march time :wink:

BBS's by any chance????

nice figures joe M........you must be well pleased?

although not to do with false claims on e-bay or people selling things and B/S'ing about them......had a few of crackers from the recovery guy who picked me and my storm up when my fuel pump packed up :oops: :oops: first off when he seen it was a storm he asked if it was 4wd......cos all of them were meant to be :roll: ...........and the golf storm he picked up a few months before was :roll: :roll: then he got speaking about his "M5" old E-28 shape that he bought for under £2k :shock: ........anyway he was telling me it was the full "M5"......so BMW-motorsport 3.5l six-pot 286 bhp engine etc.......and how he wastes scoobies etc which i could well believe if it was the real deal................anyway i started telling him about a friend of mine with a M6........so basically the same engine......and he told me......"its the guy with the M6's bro he bought his "M5" from".....so i asked him if it was a white one.....to which he said yeah........which i happened to know was only a M535i......so only 218bhp :roll: :roll:

yip.......all of £1.35 ea
