Geeba

Thame!!! geesssss small world I'm 2 miles away in Haddenham. I was in the Rising Sun last night in Thame ;)

Yep its brightening up nicely here too! ;)

Yeah thats where the problem is, the one in the car is dead... but it has a spare one in the boot... so I'm split between fitting that one or whilst its out fit a manual.... I've not done the deal on the car yet but hopefully today.... if the country doesnt grind to a complete hault with the 4mm of snow we've had.

Cheers Ed - yeah I think if the deal comes off I'm definitely going to give the auto a go... ;)

Cheers fellas, yeah I'm kinda split, I'm not a young tear around anymore LOL - but I've never been a fan of automatic cars, if the deal comes off (fingers crossed) I'll have an auto Corrado with a busted gearbox, apparently the heat exchange leaked water into the gearbox and killed it, and I'll have a spare (apparently good) automatic gearbox in the boot that hopefully will be coming with it. To change the gearbox is it an engine out job? I'm wondering if it's not then maybe I should drive the auto for a while and see how I get on with it. - I've heard that the auto is pretty lazy and you can just see the look on people faces when you say...'its and auto'

Cheers VEEBUBBED ;) this one is CHN? - would be handy as its about 5 miles from my house! LOL! any good? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-CORRADO-VR6-CHN-COMPLETE-GEARBOX-5-SPEED-GOLF-VR6-UPGRADE-VENTO-PASSAT-MANUAL-/272038355359?hash=item3f56bfe19f:g:6U8AAOSwo6lWPK~R

Cheers fla - so I have to make sure its a Corrado VR6 gearbox? as an experienced gearbox swapper I don't suppose you have the code number I should look out for do you? :)

Hmmmm just found this thread - I'm in the same position at the moment.... found an auto box corrado with a knackard gearbox... in this situation would it be better dropping a manual in? I don't like autos in all honesty... I'm reasonably good with spanners as I've done a fair amount of Golfs over the years, but due to space limitations I wouldn't be able to get a donor car, so would have to buy the part from a breaker/ebay - is this still viable?

Still looking if anyone is having a new year clean out...

Geeessss why are all the VR6's I'm interested in located in freakin Scotland!

Gesssss why do they all have to be sooooooooooooooo far away! :(

Hi Matt, was just wondering if you have still got the car for sale?

Has the car been left as it was in the build thread? brakes/suspension etc? does the climacontrol work? Is the engine out of an R32? - sorry read the thread... looks like the 2.8 4motion lump....

I'd of pulled your arm off at that price and thrown in a case of beer.... only problem I have is the Mrs doesn't like the colour! :(

Cool - let me know if the one that fell through comes up, I'm also on the look out ;)

This one reads nice... I was really interested but it's a bit pricey for me at the moment unfortunately. http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/volkswagen/corrado/volkswagen-corrado-vr6-------------------1996/6229178 How much was the Blue Storm?

- It is a Corrado - It is a VR6 - It looks awesome - It drives awesome - Buying it will make you awesome LMAO! Classic! Any chance of some interior shots?

Hmmm pretty close to me..... VR6 or G60... that is the question....

Probably not... I used to work in a body shop and still have mates that paint... so could be something I can get done.... Whats the rest of it like? tin worm? interior all there etc... miles on the dash?

What sort of cash will you be looking for it?

Hi Lilfuzzer, do you think its possible to reverse the R32 mod fully? nice looking car but I'm just wondering once they've gone that far if its possible to get it back to close to OEM? Is the lump close to going in?

Hi Lilfuzzer - tell me more about the blue one ;) - the Mrs has said no Green cars :(

Keep the 8v and spend a bit of cash on that and keep it looking stock? Port and polish the head, maybe a 1900 or 2000 block balanced and lightend? - I did this to 8v MK2 Golf some years ago it rolled 139BHP and would easily keep with a 16v

Hello all Long time shirker around the forum as I'm a Golf fan/owner but I'm now feeling the urge for a Corrado. Looking to possibly purchase a VR6, a good solid original example would be nice of course but I don't mind doing some work on it, non runner, no MOT etc I'll consider all. A Storm would be prefered, but not in the green.
