  1. I must admit when you drove away in McDonald’s car park on the Saturday morning it certainly didn’t sound like an exhaust issue to me. The engine sounded like a right rattler, so it was a good job we met in the morning.
  2. You can find out the SKF kit number for a specific model by following the link below. I'm sure you can buy the bearing kits directly from SKF but either way once you have the kit number I assume they can be bought at any SKF dealer. http://compass2.vsm.skf.temp.pi.se/Index_Car.aspx?page=cars/carToKits.ascx&language=en-GB -Ben
  3. I've got the Porsche wheels on mine.... but given the choice the BBS are the ones to have!! . . . . Only thing is that the BBS are 16" and IMO 17" look better, filling the arches nicely.
  4. Nice looking Corrado and nice wheels (don't get me wrong)...... but in my opinion I would say they aren't the best suited together. I had a set of Design 90's on my G60 for a week or two then sold them and got the Turbos. On the mk1 Golf they look superb, but I feel they dont suit the Corrados curves as well. Another point would be that they have been kind of done to death. Still lowering the car etc will transform it into a really good looking car! Keep it up.

    different

    In English thats "Complete white leather recaro interior, the seats are electric and heated . They have covered 4000 km and are in perfect condition Included is the complete instrument panel (without clocks). Email the guy for more information or photos. You get all the switches and wiring harness for the electric heated seats". Somthing like that anyway. Shame they are bright white but still quite nice all the same. All for the best part of a grand!
  6. About £1750 as long as the engine is in good condition, serviced charger, desirable interior. It really only needs a full respray/small amount of bodywork to get it back into shape. Then the buyer would have a sweet Corrado for around the £3000 mark, maybe cheaper.

    Sy's G60

    Cheers Guys I had the rear badge painted body colour whilst I was having some other bits done. The alloys are 17". It used to sit lower but it was getting silly whenever I met a speed hump. I must be getting sensible in my old age :)

    Sy's G60

    I had always wanted the Porsche wheels way back when GTi International was at the TRL. Now they are a bit common place but still they suit the Corrado. The Colour is VW Black. No fancy VW name. I can't remember the paint code off the top of my head :roll:

    Sy's G60

    Having owned my Corrado for almost two years and been on this forum for over a year, I thought it was about time I shared a few pictures of my G60 with the rest of you. Feel free to comment :!:
  10. I've had the Pace waterpump on the car for a couple of months now and it is very quiet. You can't hear it when the bonnet is shut. The only way that I know it is working is to look into the swirl pot to see the water moving and also to touch the nice cold charge cooler 8) . Before that I went through numerous water pumps all of which packed up due to continuous use.
  11. The bigger 235mm matrix. This fits perfectly to the side of the standard radiator but you can locate them elsewhere!
  12. I have a Polo radiator situated in front of the standard G60 one. As for the water pump, I asume you mean for the charge cooler. I would recommend Pace Motorsport. Not cheap, but purpose built for the application and suitable for continuous running!
  13. My G60 had a mk1golf oil cooler which fitted fine when I bought the car :roll: . I decided to replace it with a Mocal 13 row which works fantastic as you would expect considering Mocals reputation in motorsport. Its got to be a must for any performance car/race car.
  14. Saw a sweet Storm on the M25 junction 25. Registration plate was 'VR S1X' which says it all. The bird in the passenger seat looked pretty nice as well. :lol:
  15. Thats a nice G60. Just how I like them, few visual mods as they look fantastic as they are. Also nice clean engine. I hate it when people spend ages cleaning the outside but the engine lets the car down. You don't have to go over the top polishing anything and everything to get a good result IMO I'm running the standard BBS at the moment and realise just how much better they handle over my 17's. Am thinking about getting a set of BBS RM's 8)
  16. 1992 Corrado G60 with mods declared. 24 years old, 3 years NCB, clean license since 17........£825 Fully Comp :thumb right:
  17. I looked a while back at getting a whole new bee-sting aerial. I got a quote not from VAG for about £30, so I guess VAG will be all of that!
  18. Thats a shame it's the 21st as am away to Dublin for the weekend otherwise would have been up for meeting there. Its just round the corner from where I work. Corradostorm are you local to the area? You may have seen my Corrado - black with 17's 8)
  19. I parked just round the corner from a RED VR6 registration M43RVMin the Lakside carpark on Friday 21st. Nice black leather interior complimented a good looking Corrado 8)
  20. I agree with you Henry, especially with all the leaves that have fallen off the trees recently. A clear out there should hopefully sort this out! Fingers Crossed
  21. Andy Yes try the places the others have suggested. I know they aren't the cheapest but Demon Tweeks sell the sandwich plates as well. You are correct in saying that you will require more oil to compensate the oil cooler. It will roughly take an extra litre.
  22. Hi I have a very similar oil cooler setup on mine which I fitted the other week. You are right you will need a sandwich plate that will fit the Corrado. By the looks of the photo you will also need two hoses made up to connect the cooler to the sandwich plate. I had some stainless braided hoses made up 8) . You will also have to consider how/where you are going to mount the oil cooler. I have mounted mine to the left hand side of the radiator. I made some custom brackets up. I had to be careful of the bonnet release cable that runs under the slam panel. Other than that theres no problems locating it here. Its in behind the grille so cool air is always fed to it. Alternatively you can look at mounting it elsewhere, say in front of the radiator. Choice is yours at the end of the day. I'm sorry I haven't got my digital camera with me at the moment otherwise I would post some pictures. If you really want some then I'll look at getting some later this week. If you want some specific help feel free to PM me.

    BHP

    You will also need to think about cooling, therefore an additional oil cooler and whether or not you go for a larger intercooler or alternatively a charge cooler 8)
  24. I have just put a 13 row Mocal cooler on mine last weekend and the results are incredible. I've mounted mine to the left side of the radiator if you are looking at the car front on. It's a must have modification to any tuned Corrado and one that doesn't cost the earth. Mine worked out to be about £130 all in and to have a running temperature of around 90c has got to be good for te engine. :lol: :lol: :lol:

    tyre pressures

    I put 30 psi in all round. You can put more in the rear if you have an exceptionaly heavy load, but to be honest there must be few people that can be bothered to alter there pressures dependent on load.
