It's somewhere lying around I hope....I need to have a good search. Got the remap done around 8 months ago. 215hp and 219 torques. Was expecting a little more tbh....but after driving it; it was literally like night and day. The power delivery is awesome, smooth, the engine tone deepened and so far.....haven't come across another VR that's kept up.

Hey guys, I'm selling my engine from my Corrado VR6. I bought the car over 2 years ago. I have the receipt proving the new re-conditioned engine from Vege. i also rang the company to verify they did the work....which they had. I bought the car completely stock and in the past 2 years i have added approx 13k miles and the following upgrades: Schimmel SP 263 cams Complete Neuspeed power pulley kit Thermo inlet gasket Port and polished TB BMC CDA Raceland manifold (heat wrapped) Stealth remap In the past 12 months I've also bought: New Air Mass meter, Cam position sensor/hall sender from VW, water temp sensor, Denso Iridium plugs less than 2000 miles old. Re-enforced plate welded to the sump (for the 'just in case') I know there's lots more I've bought so will add if I remember. The engine is completely solid and reliable, clutch and gearbox are silky smooth!! My mechanic did a compression test and leak down test approx 12 months ago. All came back perfectly healthy. Honestly...she doesn't miss a beat and pulls like a train from the off!!! Reason for selling is that I'm going a different route now For everything listed above - Engine, box, loom and ecu, manifold, Air filter...I want £800 for the lot. Many thanks! Jonathan =)

Hey Abdul, Looking good bro. We gotta link up soon!! I might be keeping my Corrado after all....Gonna call this guy from up North and tell him I've changed my mind. Looks like my 40K VR6 engine will be up forsale soon!! lol

I would consider selling my DBP VR6 for this!!! NO LIE lol

Hey guys, Got me yet another set of new rims for the VR. RH ZW1's which are polished with gold bolts, 8J all round running 205/40/17 Falken 912 tyres. Using 30mm adaptors on the rear and 25mm up front. Iphone 4 pictures don't really do the car justice...but i'm very happy. Need to lower the front a little more i think. Also got the front and rear bumpers smoothed and flushed in the side markers.

Coming along nicely. How do you like the new Jetex? I bought one for my VR 3 months ago (without Res box). Sounds awesome!! =) I guess you can't put your foot down until the leaks sorted. Bring on next Tuesday!! =D -
PLAYERS 2011 - 18th Sept - Northweald Air strip
JonnyVW replied to JonnyVW's topic in Event Announcements & Discussion
Don't think so =( -
Decided to get rid of my OEM sprayed red rears and opted for the crystal 50/50 rear lights and sprayed them red. I also colour coded the rear number plate plinth and got the rear bumper smoothed out with the tow bar hole flushed. What do ya think?

Next time I jack the car up I'll get a pic of it. The length of the Y-pipe is the same as the cat. In my case I replaced the cat with the exhaust flap pipe. It's mainly a noise thing. On my ****ty powerflow exhaust I gained 6hp on the rollers when it was opened. However with my new Jetex cat back system I actually lost 2hp. I guess it showed how **** my old exhaust system was rather than the flap being a performance upgrade.
-
Where the cat would be is a Y-pipe with an electronic switch on what looks like a throttle body. I can control how much it opens and closes while im driving. When fully opened it's like I'm running with open headers....or evil V8 like! lol ---------- Post added at 06:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:45 PM ---------- Cheers mate....lots of my friends said I should of kept the 8 holes....it did look good but just didnt do it for me really!! As for last week I've got more updates to put up since putting the borbet A's on. Smoothed front and rear bumpers, flushed in the side markers, new rear lights and believe it or not....new wheels!! lol ---------- Post added at 06:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:47 PM ---------- I REMEMBER!! hahah Hows it going? I remember yours being a very nice example!! Hope to see you at Players in a couple weeks time!!
-
Coming along nicely mate....bet you can't wait to get her back!! If funds permit, get the re-map done!! Best colour also....but I would say that! lol
-
Got bored of the Merc 8 holes pretty quickly and wanted something with a bit of a dish so opted for some Borbet A's. 7.5x16 up front with 195/40 tyres and 9x16 on the rears with 215/35 tyres. Needles to say the back rub a little so got my mechanic to roll them out some.....Still rubbed but thought f**k it!! Don't carry passengers!! lol
-
A real credit to you mate....some serious dedication there! You must be proud!! =)

Thanks for that! :)
