Corrado vr6 turbo for sale, I’ve had this car nearly over 10 years now it’s been a good car but in recent years it’s just been sitting on my driveway so the time has come to sell it. The car is SORN and has been off the road about 5-6 years but I have been starting it on/off every month or so in that time. It runs, all the old fuel has been drained and it’s got a new fuel filter, as well as a brand new crank sensor. The bigger problem with this car is the body work might look ok in the pictures, but it’s an old car it has nicks, dents, scratches really could do with a session with ChipsAway. The car is using the standard ECU run’s like any other vr6, and comes with red tops separate if you want to put it in boost. Here’s a vid when it was running in boost I am the third owner it comes with Part Service History, Documents and all receipts are available. Engine Standard engine put out 187BHP &197torque (dyno proof) At 6psi Estimated anywhere from 260 to 320BHP VR6 - 110,600 Mileage Chains, Head Gasket and Water pump changed by previous owner at 60k-90k Stock Block 2.9ABV Coil Pack Custom Inlet manifold Custom Exhaust manifold T3/T4 Turbo inlet 50./84 outlet (early spoon) Forge Dump Valve 38mm External Wastegate (6 PSI) Miltek Exhaust System 2.25" (de-cat pipe) Front mounted Intercooler fitted with custom inlet piping 2.5" all round Uprated Walbro 255 (GS340) intank fuel pump Neuspeed VR6 160 Degree Thermostat. Recent new lambda sensor LC1 Innovate wideband Controller 120amp Alternator ODB2 upgrade Running gear/Brakes S3/R32 Hubs Jamex adjustable coilovers (Front) Supersport adj coilys (Rear) Bembo rear discs Front S3 312mm brakes Goodridge braded hoses all round as well as all new copper brake lines front to back Recent Track Rod Ends, ball joints and anti rollbar drop links 7x16 Compomotive Speedline Nexen 205/40/16 really good tread Trim Toad ai606 Alarm CAT 1 Thatcham Approved Heated Leather seats working DynoTune Gauge digital (not working) Boost Gauge autometer Manual Fan trigger switch Side repeaters clear Bad Points Car is SORN Will need to be towed/picked up Car is not mapped, but will come with 360cc Saab red tops Front/Rear Bumpers/Bonnet needs re-spraying also passenger door Dent in Bonnet & Front Panel also general stone chips Little Paint bubble passenger front side wing, slight rust on driver’s door Wheels need respraying not a problem if you are changing them Could do will an oil/filter change Sunroof 1 of the aluminium clips is broke (common problem), motor is fine Driver’s door pin has come loose Front fog lights not working possible fuse/relay or blubs Needs a new Battery it is Kaput Throttle body plug needs re-wiring has broken Clutch fluid slow leak, possible master cylinder/salve or could just need a bleed Driver’s side repeater blub needs replacing Needs front and rear wiper blades replacing So the car runs, but doesn’t start on the 1st try when I connect the battery, turn the key a second time with a little throttle it fires up, possible compression, throttle body or battery problem, I’m not sure. I’ve tried to be honest with everything that I am aware off, the leather interior is in good condition along with the mechanicals this car during the years has been great to own, just the body work needs addressing and the turbo mapping. Reason for selling Time for a change I’ve had the car for 12 years along time and I don’t really use it anymore also I’ve been out of work for a while now and can’t afford to run it. Price – Make me an offer (not looking for part-exchange thanks) Post/PM me if you have any questions Call to arrange viewing 07424756691 Thanks for looking Anthony Pictures

Update Pics - Car's in sales section

no more narrowband technology for you mate, its wideband all the way. 8)

On first thoughts I would say no, but if you

Good work there Fella, looks like the work on the rear was a MUST. I think i will be ordering a Erwin set before doing my rear beam. :thumb right:

I'm running R32 hubs on my corrado, TRE's pointing up :wink: Yep it has sufficiently reduce bump steer, would be nice upgrade for your TDI.

Liking the sequential shift on the car, but lever is a tad close to the steering wheel for me.

yeah, my friend had a similar problem to yours but had blue smoke on start-up. Most probably the valve stem seals as mentioned, but he tried some 10/50w (thicker oil he was on 10/40w) Morris competition oil (http://www.morrislubricants.co.uk) and it stop smoking completely. Worth a try.

Nice progress, if possible would be interested in feedback on the engine mounts when your up and running, as im looking to source some in the near future.

Cheers for the comments.... The Car felt great, steering is quick and responsive. Understeer is still there though until i source some anti-roll bars and rear strut brace :wink: Yea the intercooler totally transforms the appearance on my C, but its not just for looks the amount of air that hits the intercooler at speed is pretty obvious. But the amount of air that now gets to my radiator is really crazy, i can't remember what i used to get on the motorway before, but now my temp stays between 70 - 75 degrees. Cheers Dave, Yeah may be another trip sometime next year, but we'll have to see.

Your wheels really shine in thoses night pics. Car looks good overall..

Track re-opens. This is a good example to show how wide parts of the track are. Site seeing, the landscape there was amazing Manage to get up the Hill! (bloody hell) to the Adenauer Forst viewing point. Noble didn

Update

Sticker well deserved Dave :thumb right:

couldn't of said it better...

Some info here :- http://the-corrado.net/wiki/index.php/Servicing_guide Hope this helps.

Yep :thumbleft:

Heard only good things about C2, you should be quite happy when sorted :thumb right:

I was quite close to buying one of theses OBX LSD's. But after researching on vwvortex i decided not to take the risk. Thanks for clearing this up.

Bad news there Zak, being your car is high mileage maybe a full re-build could be a good idea.
