Hiya, not really sure whats missing other than what you can see... lights, mirrors, indicators etc.. I've not really touched it in 20 years. I stuck it on Facebook and currently have £700 on the table.

Yep its a full size bike... should look like this one:- https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Suzuki-RV125-Classic-Vintage-Rere-Immaculate-Show-Condition-RESERVED-FOR-CHRIS/133116073973?hash=item1efe5617f5:g:14EAAOSwC5NdMMDG

Not technically a car - but thought I'd see if anyone was interested... not technically a shed find ether as I'd not lost it but hey its in the shed and has been a long time ;) pictures here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/3YEe8HJyP8q1GS2o8 One project has to give and I have more interest in the Corrado and the fact that it's already swallowed a vast amount of cash! It is what you see, no V5 but engine and frame are original - I've owned it since the 80's when I thought it would be a good idea to strip all the bits off it and promptly lose them over the space of 20 odd years. was running when parked up.

Yep the alternator would require removing the engine to swap :D

Yep mate had one - spent a lot of time in the dealers... mainly wiring/electrical issues. - nice to look at thou.... not sure I'd want to own one.

Yep I used to be part of a forum some years ago which literally disappeared overnight.... it vanished and the admin was never heard from again.

Looking good! any performance bits going on at the same time?

Yeah I'm kinda testing the water on offers really - I'd rather keep it but since a pretty big change in personal life I'm really struggling for time. I think theres close to 3.5K in the engine alone... everything has been bought new, from bearings to a new engine loom - I even bought an electro plating kit to replate all the zinc pasivated parts and every part was the best available from Hella rad to R32 bushes and 312 Brembo Disks. its a 2 owner car and every part is there and unmolested. I've even got replacement seat foams! :) I remember even matching the cam cover paint as close as I could to the original! LOL!

Does this work? https://photos.app.goo.gl/MBq615SV5f5SJ3iL6

You didn't reply? - whats your budget?

I probably could of just lobbed some 263's in my engine and knowing my luck get more than my fully tweeked and rebuilt one will ever roll! LOL!

I did ask over on the Scirocco forum as it seem close to dead in there if they were interested in joining forces before more forums and their information is lost... but they didn't seem overly interested.

Just reading over at VR6OC - they rate the SP263 in every application, NA, super and turbocharged. apparently the NA cars saw 20+bhp and an impressive torque gain after a group buy they did.

I still went with the Shimmel 263 cams alongside the VGI - Vince spoke very highly of the SP263's, - but yes thats why I had my block bored, it wasn't bad but there had just started to be a slight score at the top of two of the pots.

I'm at 83mm which I think give 2931 - to be honest the pots are pretty thin, I dont think I'd go too big, possibly why VW made a whole new block for the R32... I've gone for 11:1 high compression pistons too - I still think the power gains will be negligable thou, my block was in really good condition but whilst it was in bits it seemed false economy not to do everything, I'm an OE man so I didn't fancy forced induction, but do like performance goodies ;) ... its still yet to be put back in the car.

Exactly that - I've thrown in excess of £3k at my NA engine and if it makes 220bhp I'll be very happy.

there are some on ebay... unrealistic performance claims IMO... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-CORRADO-VR6-2-8-2-9-NEW-STAINLESS-STEEL-MANIFOLD/161347605422?epid=23015052890&hash=item25911113ae:g:cZUAAOSwVupTqX~x

Ported and polished my OE manifolds, tig'd up the downpipe flange externally and gound and polished that as well. Not keen on ebay manifolds... you're going to be buying twice.

Could be the release bearing Hasan... that it disappears when you press the clutch makes me think it could be. Definitely worth doing the level though, my manual box is in a gazzilion bits but they are usually fill till it runs out.

Yeah really good pictures - nice to see one complete and not under a cover on my driveway ;)

Gesssss amazing info! Any chance you can shoot round mine and get the engine back in for me LOL! you'll save a day in looking up what goes where! ;)

Mad me laugh on a Monday morning! :D Yep I agree - dub dub Three can't be far off, there's too many of us so will ether be over religion or resource/land grabbing.

But where are you hosting them? Photobucket is pants now - I tried google photos and that doesnt work ether...
