87 Jetta 16v

There have been times over the past 7 years when I would have happily taken the £90!

Looking at this, I have had the car for more than 7 years. Shhhiiiiiittttttt!!!

Ha ha. Yes that is about right. I am actually trying to finish the interior (still). I think I will probably finish it just in time for it to fall apart due to old age! Perhaps I should declare finishing the car as a New Years resolution?!?

Hi there, It is indeed still for sale, I have e-mailed you some pictures and also added some onto the for sale advert. http://the-corrado.net/classifieds.php?listing=corrado-r32-4wd-coxys-old-car-197439 If you are interested, please drop me a PM with your phone number and I will give you a call, Thanks, Neal.

Corrado R32 4WD - Coxy's old car Hi all, The time has come for me to finally move on from modified car ownership, so it is with a heavy heart that I will finally be offering my Corrado R32 for sale. This car was built mainly by a well known member of the forum, coxy. The build thread is here: http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?t=12027 I have owned the car for about five years and used it fairly sparingly. Because of the nature of buying a running project there was some development still required when I purchased the car and this has been undertaken mainly by reknown VW specialists, J-tech and the phirm. As of now, I would describe the car as being fully mechanically and electrically sorted. It runs, drives and stops just like an R32 golf, just in a Corrado shell. A brief spec of the car is: R32 Engine Schrick cams 100mm BMC air filter Custom 6 branch manifold made by Simpsons Race Exhausts Slimline fans Black Forest industry's engine mounts Custom Subframe integrating Mk4 dogbone mount R32 O2M gearbox Full 4wd running OE haldex Full R32 management KW V.3 coilovers Eibach front ARB Eibach strut brace Passat syncro 25mm rear ARM Dutchdub toe & camber adjusters on rear New Genuine VW front wishbones and bushes New genuine VW rear wishbone bushes Brembo Porsche 4 pot calipers 330mm disks on separate bells 280mm disks on rear New door window seals New roof gutter trims New headlight lenses New bora vents Mk6 golf steering wheel R32 clocks in mk4 dash Recaro seats Alpine ipod head unit I am sure there are lots of things that I have not mentioned, but those are the main points I can think of. If you have any questions, please ask. The car will be sold with 12 months MoT Unfortunately, the interior is not finished. It needs a headlining, and inho, the interior plastics trimming. I have all of the parts, some spares, some new OE stuff, so with the car, all my Corrado parts will be included. I have listed the car as offers. Quite embarrassingly, I have spent ?30,000 on the car. Quite obviously I won't see anywhere near this back, but I am open to listening to sensible offers. The car is located in Reading, Berkshire List Date: 5/4/2015 Location: Binfield, United Kingdom For more info, click here to view the original listing: Corrado R32 4WD - Coxy's old car -------------------------------------- On Sale For: ?1.00 (Local Pickup Only) -------------------------------------- Mobile friendly version: Corrado R32 4WD - Coxy's old car Go Mobile: Download the free Panjo iOS app now!

Well, as they say, the time has come... Perhaps like Coxy before, I seem to have got to the age where modifying cars doesn't seem to hold my interest any longer. As such, I will be putting the Corrado up for sale shortly. It's a sad day but time moves on and it had to come. During my time of ownership I concentrated on getting the mechanicals and electrics 100% spot on. Ideally I would like the car to go to someone who will finally finish it cosmetically. If anyone is interested in the car, please drop me a note, Thanks, Neal.

In a spirit in keeping with the previous owner, another nearly two years have passed...but...the car is 3/3 for the first time in nearly four years. Hopefully it will be my daily as of next week :)

I have more parts that I will be listing next week too, so please come back and take a look. Thanks, Neal. http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/neal.humphries/m.html?item=380747661037&ssPageName=STRK%3AMESELX%3AIT&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562

Hello mate, Thanks for your experience there. Postage would not be a problem if you needed it. Thanks, Neal.

Hi there, Working from my old and deteriorating memory, I thought that Mk2 golf 16v and 4 stud 16v corrado's ran the same springs / dampers? The koni website is inconclusive as no springs are listed for the corrado, and the only suspension kit is for a VR. The spring platform is adjustable on the rear shocks, held in place by a circlip by the look of things. The dampers are not adjustable. Let me know if that helps at all, Thanks, Neal.

Hi all, I have a set of matching koni dampers and springs for a mk2 16v golf. These will also phsically fit a corrado, though they would be more suited to a 16v. Potentially an issue with the rear ride height as pointed out below. All in good working condition. Cosmetically they look a little grubby but they always do. Would make a nice fast road / track setup. I would like £100 for these, collected from Reading. Thanks for looking, N.

Hi all, I am looking for a Corrado VR6 fuel tank, fuel pump and retaining straps. Does anyone have one laying round, preferably close to Reading, Berkshire? Thanks, Neal.

Wow, £120. Ouch!! Glad yo got sorted though :)

Noted. I have combined everything into one thread other than the doorcards. You just can't get enough characters in the title line otherwise :(

Ah, top man, thanks. Drop me a note if you need any details. Thanks, N.

And bump
