vr6storm

think yer getting mixed up with the grey VR6 thats for sale now and again as that does have Fiat Coupe lights........the yellow monstrosity above pre-dated the Fiat Coupe by a good 4-5 years afterall

VW have just released a supercharged/turbocharged Golf over here btw.........tho its only a 1.4L engine it produces 170bhp,the supercharger gives it boost till about 3k revs and then the turbo takes over.............back in the 80's Lancia had the supercharger/turbocharger combo in their ill-fated Gruppe B S4 rally car,it was producing silly power tho

just the lack of air-cooled noise and some minor anomolies :wink:

EXACTLY youve hit the nail on the head there,my car when new in 1995 was £63k..........Jays in 1990 would have been easy £55k-ish

well i've had my 993 Carrera 4 now since october,I can't see it being that much more to run that a 964 Carrera4,so.........mpg i get about 21-23mpg round town etc in the Corrado whereas the 993 is probably 16-18mpg doing the same miles,insurance is group 20 and basically if yer under 30 its gonna be a nightmare to get covered,most places insist its garaged too btw servicing at an OPC is EXPENSIVE!!!........the 964 needs a bit more servicing wise than the 993 too,as its got mechanical adj on the tappets,whereas the 993 is hydraulic,and tyres are meant to only last 10k miles on the rear(although 4WD its still rear biased and there's an engines weight back there),brakes are also almost double the cost if not more than the C,at the end of the day a corrado is just a Sports Coupe based on a hatch/saloon,whereas the 911 is an out n out Sportscar so obviously its gonna cost more to run and keep in fine fettle..............worth every penny tho

:oops: :oops: :oops: sorry but you need to know as much as possible about yer dream cars :wink:

if its a twin turbo 911 it'll be a 993/996/997............you not getting confuddled with a 964 Turbo 2???(which is only a single turbo btw)

it'll be group 20...........even my 924S is group 19

cos its ala Corrado and electric..........the 964 models onward had the electric one has standard,the only ones with a fixed whaletail/spoiler were the Turbo variants of the 964/993 and the 993RS/GT2

NGK's are the best plug to get for the VR btw..............able to withstand the heat better

true but i bet they save somebody running up yer arse when you reverse out of a space :wink:

looking good jay...............the grin left yer face yet???

try the likes of Stealth racing,Star-performance and I would imagine G-werks would also be able to supply them for you

when i had BBS splits on my Compact 5yrs ago.............i got into the regime of cleaning them every day/night with soapy water(cheap car wash shampoo),wheels never really got dirty enough to need agitating with anything stronger,I also discovered by accident that the Auto-Glym engine and machine cleaner is rather good at cleaning carpet/fabric,as i spilt some on a dirty floor mat by accident discovered the spill the next day and washed the mat with water and it was like new

minty mint 8)

If I Remember Correctly

Vibratech do the front engine mount £120-ish IIRC

its not so much the tool for removing the plugs..........its the plug leads that are the pain to get off without the tool,make sure you get the metal tool other than the feeble plastic one too

the clutch creeking could be nothing more sinister than the plastic trim at the bottom of the dash flexing.........had it in mine a few years back and it was driving me mad til i sussed it out as for the running probs.............if its been sitting for 4 yrs previous to the 2 months you've driven it,its probably needing a good service,new plugs,oil,filters(oil/air/fuel),it could even be needing new plug leads

an ALL-time great Corrado wheel combo!!!! looking very nice jim

although ALL 92J's and some 92K's 2.0l's will have the slider controls might be the possibility yours is a 93 reg'd one but with an early 92 build date.......thats if you've sliders of course :wink:

like that..............love that colour btw

...........well ive a spare control unit out of a G60 I was breaking,it works as I had a window problem earlier on this month(which turned out to be the door handle wiring shorting out).....so originally thought it was the control unit too,but once i fixed the short I put back my original one if you want it I'll let it go for £10+PnP

control unit is behind the driver side (rear door card)..........there's a fuse holder just above the fusebox btw.......have you checked that one???......
