Hi all what are g60's like then??? the 0.60 (8.1) time seams a little low for saying its a supercharged 1800 what can be done too improve this ? ? i know its still quick standard but how can it be made quicker??? chipped and pulleyed? what does this involve how much etc...... i would like one in nugget yellow but how rare is this colour ??? is the suspension uprated compared too my valver??? just wondered james
-
well thats what im going too do then 8) anybody want a valver?? lol ive heard a vr they do sound awesome but my jaw dropped when i heard reports of 15mpg when 'used' !!! is this true but i also love the sound of a s/g spooling up is 16VG60 car advertised on the site ??? or is he in the process of selling i could be interested any links too pictures of his car ?? im a right pain my missus is cursing me telling me too keep the one ive got etc... but im a serial car changer!! and an adrenaline junkie 8) definately not straying from corrados . they are simply awesome
-
Thats what i thought m8 just seeing if people reccomend certain ride heights suspension too use etc..... imo it handles better than my old mk2 gti! and this was awesome!

Hi as some of you know i bought a rado about 3 weeks ago and i love it etc.. but i now am faced with a dilemma! i have come in too some money 8) around 4k too be exact!!!! so what shall i do! keep my valver which needs alot of body work doing arches have gone and i want too have it resprayed .The engine also requires some attention it stinks of oil but doest actually use much if any :? get all the above done buy some new rims lower it and other bits and bobs (lights grilles exhaust etc....) or would you sell it and buy a good rado from the start im sure i could pick up a lovely rado for around this much id would be after FOR SURE a g60 or possibly a vr6 as i can insure bth the g60 insurance is actually cheaper than my valver and too be honest i think i should f bought a g6 any way! what would you do??????????????? cheers

Hi my rado handles fantastically i absouloutely adore it its the best hadling car i've driven and i love it! what i wanted too know was i am planning on lowering it etc... is it possible to actually make the handling worse... or what have you done too make it even better. i just wondered as i am very happy with the hadling but not the way it looks :lol: james
