Lee- Have you not had to use adapters on your rims?, mine are 5x112, i thought they all came in 5x112 then you buy the required thickness adapters to convert to 5x100

Phat- Did you manage to find that tyre size you were after?

And do they agree on a value on what the car would be worth if you were to sell it?, or do they agree on a value it would take to build another the same, (obviously that would be a hell of alot more!)

Ben....4wd and 360bhp, you've got to have the ultimate corrado, the power of that must be insane...i like it!! Have u got any times for it yet? There cant be many everyday cars that can get near that, what cars have u beaten so far?

They vary quite alot depending on spec, and they have come down alot in price lately, should be able to pick one up for around a grand

Yeah they are very tunable, ive only got the 150bhp golf version, but im getting a revo chip soon to give around 220bhp, and when ive cained the current turbo to death, jabbasport 350bhp ihi turbo conversion....here i come!!!
-
I did'nt do the conversion myself, so i dont know the in's and out's of it, it does go straight in on the original mounts thou, i think Do you not prefer the vr6 then, sometimes i wish i had a vr6 instead of my 20vt, purely for the soundtrack!
