Used to like them, not anymore though.

A Transit, what do you think its from? :wink: Whats the best way to put it in the car?

Impressive work. Playing devils advocate here but what sort of weight gain are you going to have with the engine, torque tube (great name) and rear diff/box?

Picking up a new tailgate tomorrow and wondering it it will fit inside the car? I can easily remove the rear seats to help.

If its between those two, top ones. The all clear are rank.

They are definately Brands Hatch which were available as an option in 94/95 for the Corrado VR6 :wink: Yep.

After looking at a few cars half its age but in far worse condition I can tell its in good condition for its age. Loads of history and receipts as well. The RR prinout out was at 13psi and 95ron so a slight tweak and some 98ron and it would be even better. Its super practical and a torquey beast, 231ftlbs!!! 37mpg was on a good run, I get about 28-29mpg around town. Im away to Norway Wed-Fri but should be available at the weekend.

Cough - Passat ^^^^^ :D

Yeah I know what you mean. Had a set on a Mk3 and was never quite happy with them but they do suit the Raddo shape so well. Drives no different to the 16in TBH, just a wee bit more tramlining.

Yeah mate, spot on. When I get round to refurbing them Im going to keep them silver I think now.

Thats not good from a point of view of getting her charged. A guy pulled right out in front of me last year on my bike and despite there being loads of people about no one would say they were a witness. The Police then said is was my view against his (depsite my bike have no front end and a nice dent in the front of his car) so they treat it as a knock for knock. Only after checking CCTV did they go and charge the bugger. Hopefully the Police will help as Im sure it helped me get my inusrance money with no problems.

Nah I didnt bother in the end. Vince said there were a little room for improvement like increasing rev limit but for the cost I didnt think it would be worth it. Its still feels fast enough for a bit of fun. Would rather concentrate on brakes and handling now.

They look to be on a Passat so no. There 5x112 PCD you have 5x100.

Decided to fit the wheels to see what there like. Loving them, left the 10mm spacers on the rear and they sit fine. Also managed to find a garage about 1min walk from the flat so I should get some work done over the winter although it doesnt have power or lighting and the worlds greatest concentration of spiders :( . Here it is the winter home and some random pics about Aberfeeze in the ususal NE weather.

Ah shit not good, personally I just drop back from people like that for this very reason. As long as you told the Police and got witnesses to the way they were driving then something should happen, the fact you all stopped fine yet she didnt indicates that she was too close or going to fast.

Monte Carlo I think.

Whats worse is your still calling him your mate!!!!!!!!!!

How cheap is cheap? Selling my Passat Estate 1.8T, Revo remap, Eibach suspension etc etc Looking for £1550. Was just going to put an add up in here.

You cant expect to go that low and it not catch. Id raise it at least 20mm.

Folks are there any difference between the late and early doors skins i.e. can I fit an early door skin to my late car?

Sorry forgot to stay that I also had quick delivery and nice bit of kit.

Thats generous. Sorry havent phoned Vince yet, will do it this week.

Yeah sold the leather, not sure it was the right decision due to the rare nature of the Recaros but Im not a fan of leather to be honest. I wouldnt worry about it, the car is more about what it does and how it looks than having some nice seats. Yeah tailgate has gone right through, probably repairable but glass needs to come out so Im looking for a decent replacement first.

Racing tomorrow and not on the booze so thought I would put a little update on here. Sold the gemini box to Jenks. Though it would be a waste on my car in all honesty as I rarely get the chance to give a blast now. Got some DG braided lines and finally stripped the 288mm calipers to check the pistons. Alls good so I will get them on with some new seals. Got a chance of a garage just round the corner from the flat so I might throw it in there over the winter and sort a few jobs. Need a new tailgate so if anyone has a dragon green pearl one let me know. Sold my KTM today as well :( but bought some 17in RC's. Ideally need a refurb so as per usual been looking at colour options. Think I'll go for grey this time like Bally's old ones. Little photoshop below.

If your going for a cage get a full one. It will probably just replace the weight your taking out. Good to see another Corrado going about up here. We really should have a Scottish meet.
