not too keen on the styling but does have some presence, about time vw stepped up and took on audi in the high power stakes. be awesome if this went into production

ive seen coolers on ebay for around £100 so yuoll have enough then to sort it all out, few samco hoses and a straight piece of alu and job done, thats what im hoping, doubt itll be that simple tho!! and a fmic will hide behind the grill so the missus wont no ;) thats the one i was looking at, some similar ones on ebay too, got my eye on some wheels first tho so ill see how it all works out!
-
was that at the wheels or fly? i think deleting the boost return does help imo, the charger stays so much more cooler which has to be a good thing, plus i like the sound now too :) im hoping to sort the fmic for about £200 all in. thats with a new ths cooler, £120. just a case of making up the pipe work yourself!! bits of samco etc the rsr wont do any harm, help things flow a little better i expect
-
fmic, thats what im hoping to get sorted in the next month or two. just need to sort out the pipe work. hopefully should make a difference if we have a hot summer could also delete the boost return? the charger stays so much cooler now its not sucking re-circ hot air, cool enough to touch after a good thrash, which is all a bonus i reckon! any idea what power yours is putting out as its pretty much same spec as mine! just for a comparison?

Will 7.5x16" Keskin KT-1's clear 305mm Brembo set-up ?
Craig replied to BigTartanJudge's topic in Exterior
if they dont how much :lol: -
how much do 360's go for these days 8) not a G60 but ill settle for a vr then turbo it
-
so does the suround just cl;ip on then, seriously tempted i think! i take it black plates aren't too legal here! theres no probs then as long as the gb logo is on?
-
and i take it they're totally legal then? look really good where did you get them from with the surrounds and is fitting any dramas? cheers
-
are they german plates then but with the GB logo instead?
-
ha ha brilliant, thanks very much. think ill make some enquiries! you never know
-
hmm, i liking that! thanks for the pic. wandering about them on a blue c now. does anyone have any advice regarding the ones on ebay? im still learning when it comes to wheels having never bought a set!
-
im useless with wheels and photo stuff so could somebody please be so kind as to put these wheels on my c? or is there any pics around? ive used dubmodder but looking for some more examples i used the search and only found one pic of a green c on turbo's. Any advice on these rims is appreciated too. bit strange about the wobble? is the offset ok or will i need spacers to push them out a bit? ive got some highsports waiting to go on so it will be lower but i fancy a change of wheel and ive got money waiting and think these are reasonable considering the new tyres. http://url.the-corrado.net/2175ee thanks craig [/img]http://www.ringo.com/photos/photo.html? ... =169809496 not sure how to up load a pic anymore, ages since i did and seems to have changed? think ive managed to put a pic in my gallery, last years but it'll do
-
wheres the G60 support 8) its a worthy alternative, lower insurance group by one i think, easier tuning options, and if you mod it, chip, pulley etc youll be looking at vr power anyway! possibly more :wink: mine should be just above the 200 brake mark if your looking for power I wouldnt disregard one if a good example came along! that vr sound is gorgeous tho but i love the charger whine just as much, my advice is to just go and drive a few and see what takes your fancy :)
-
theres quite a bit in the search on ak's as i was looking myself but just got some highsports, majority opinion was they were pretty good, furki recommended them considering the price
-
ive used the search 'coilovers AND cleaning' etc but cant find a direct answer so here goes just got some FK highsports, only covered 3k so not too bad but obviously have some crud on them etc and the threads dirty im just wandering whats the best way to tackle this? wire brush? autoglym machine cleaner? and is there anything recommended to spray/rub on them to protect for the future? ive got some G-werks charger lube but i cant see that protecting, just helping to loosen up the coils? Thanks for any help, just cant wait to get them on now! ill be selling my koni top adjustables (ssk?) if anyones interested :)
-
aaah excellent so they do! cheap Fks for me then :):) ! so much for being observant hey! can lock this now then, ta very much :)
-
Hi as per title really, ive been told they can no probs then told they cant? Im picking up some Fk Highsports 2m (cheap :)) and were originally for a mk 2 gti, used for few months? guy says they have the code g2? so will they fit? if not can they be made to! cheers craig
-
like the vid, agree its good to see both sides, like the flowery boot carpet :lol: but i cant say his ice install was my taste either. i love the sound of the charger but it sounded like he was holding the revs/needed to change gear? mine never sounds that much of a drone when im cruising around town? maybe he's got a really small pulley? 8)
-
the paints looks lovely, top work there mate, like the vw air freshner too, ive got one hanging from my glovebox :) useful ebay for once!

Pic request - G60 outlet piping running down under charger
Craig replied to Riley's topic in Engine Bay
flusted, is that using one of g-werks rs outlets or a bbm one? seems bit cheaper than the rallye outlet option? -
Pic request - G60 outlet piping running down under charger
Craig replied to Riley's topic in Engine Bay
ill be interested to see this as im looking at fitting a fmic with in the next month or two. only thing i could think of tho was a rallye u bend from the charger? then maybe a 180 degree reducer to the intercooler inlet? just worried about the positioning tho? thinking of using one of the ths coolers? but looking at the rsr outlet its possible to use this then and just place a u bend samco on there instead of the rallye outlet? -
welcome to the forum bud, glad your enjoying corrado ownership! is it standard or had a few tweaks? get some pics up so we can all hava look :thumb right:
-
hopefully ill be able to make it down, steering columns bodge but driveable, ill keep an eye out then for the new toy!
-
just to say thanks for the no. john, miles came today and got the housing off after an hour and half, just driving about now with the steering column taped up as i cant afford the part from vw yet, he also says he's just bought a 944 if you were interested! may see you at the next tidy meet, thanks again for the no!
