Oh i forgot to mention that i think its messed up the engine Yeah, i see where your comin form regarding keeping it, but i actually hate the car, with a passion, im not fussed by the loss, its a hobby afterall so it happens. I think il just Mothball it until i chill, then put something worthwhile in there! :D

Yeah bad news guys, my charger blew up today, im sooo pissed its unbelievable, it just seems this car hates me, since i bought it off someone on here in march i have spent near on a further £3k correcting the bodges and general bits, got it back thursday an it felt awesome! even put the cash aside to have the charger off to JMR this week, but on saturday i had a double blow out, and today this. just makes me think i dont want this car anymore, ive got my eye on a new Scirroco anyway but i wanted to keep this! What would you do in my shoes, break it or sell it as is to someone who knows what theyre doing? Cheers Jords

Saw a Burgandy C outside of newbury in a layby on greenham common (dont stay there to long people will get the wrong idea!) had a debadge grill an crystal/red rears on

bit of a late report back but saw a black vr6 on shepards bush road at about lunchtime last saturday, was driven by a blonde lady! I was driving a co§^a so you prob thought i was just a wee perv!

Red h plate at Reading Gate Mac d's tonight? I was actually in my C which is making horrendous sounds at the mo

Is there any specific guidelines regarding age an shit from your company? i know at my old place it had to be less than 5 years old an all that shit, as soon as mine got to 4 1/2 years the bastards sent me reminders! If it was me, id buy a dirt cheap brand new daily on a pcp with free insurance like a.....[strike:3h6uag3r]corsa[/strike:3h6uag3r] for like £150 a month, pocket the rest for rado funding!

Need some help here! im slowly getting together the bits to turn my interior Tan and thought, bugger me il need a new carpet too, Grey just wont look right so id like a Black one (think tan on the floor would be a little OTT!) id prefer brand new so the question is can you guys recommend anywhere i can get this? I remember that GOLF+ :censored: had a mk1 that they got all replacement interior bits for, from a place called _ _ _ _ _ Commercials? Also recommend any trimmers to do seats/plastics? an shock shock...i dont want leather :shock: Gracias Jords

Thanks Garrett, il be honest since i last put up the costs its sort of spiralled a bit. Bought Car - £2200 AEZ Rims with tyres- £250 M3 styler rear lights - £45 7 slat grill - £15 Detail - £100 (mates rates innit!) Sold Sebrings - £70 M3 styler rear lights - £45 Repairs Boost hoses replaced with Samcos, front engine mount, oil filter an housing, oil cooler, exhaust weld, an im sure theres more i've forgotten but total at the moment without todays expected bill is about - £650 Recovery Trucks I now qualify as a regular, they dont even ask my reg i just say, 'hi its jordan' they say 'where are you this time!' So recovery x 4 - £232.00 (GT Recovery in Reading if you ever need it, very good) Total cost so far....[strike:27t37c3n]£2425![/strike:27t37c3n] £3377.00 Sheeeeeeeeiiitt!!! its really frustrating when i look at ti like that, cos the money ive spent on repairs an stuff was basically my bodyshop fund, ah well, all part of the fun!

Yeah cheers man it looks alright, just doesnt go as often as id like it to! :lol:

Yeah Fuelage all over the show, brown trouser moment i tell thee!!

oh an this an hour ago, back to Storm!

Been a while since i updated here! ah well since the last time i posted its had a new SNS chip, Made 212bhp on the rollers, went to spring fest. ...changed the lights back to red/black.....oh and all these little journeys too....

Tried that, said he needed numbers, aint no numbers on it unfortunately!

Spent some time at Storm today, first power run was 140ish bhp, i nearly cried, on investigating it was the fact that the boost pipe was just blowing all the air out into the engine bay (this explained why i could hear ait rushing under acceloration and it being 'sluggish!) so a new pipe was fabricated and voila..........197.5bhp! Very happy, also whilst i was there they replaced my fuel lines which were pretty badly perished, and i booked back in for next week to tune up a bit more, an have a S5 SNS chip fitted. Sweet

Oh and i decided this is now a project, not a beater anymore, and its going to be project 'Do not Bankrupt Myself' So called because all my previous cars ive paid top dollar on everything pretty much, but now im older (24 :lol: ) ive decided that i can build a kick arse car on a budget, an maybe do a few things myself an learn a bit along the way! So..... here is the breakdown so far.... Bought Car - £2200 AEZ Rims with tyres- £250 M3 styler rear lights - £45 Sold Sebrings - £70 Total cost so far....£2425!

This is what was done today, Cheers Ashley!

Well i investigated the charger a bit more today, JMR are quite reputable, an its a Stage 4 charger, well it has S4 engraved in it aswell as JMR so this is a bit of an assumption on my part, but there seems to be a fair bit of oil about on the pipes so ive stopped using the car and booked it in at Storm Developments for a looksie! hopefully just shit pipes

on a random, My chargers marked up JMR, ive never heard of them before, anyone on here know about them?

Cheers chaps, just to find someone decent to sort the rust out, so any recomendations in the Berks area? I think its standard, although ungodly loud, the airbox is drilled to buggery, trying to source a new one asap, i hate not being able to hear the charger whiistle! so anything new in the world of g tuning? my old mk2 was chip&pulleyed, aesermetric cam, aquamist, stage 2 charger, full exhaust an manifold system. want this one to be better!

Cheers man, i schoolboy errored an put the After pic where the Before one should have been! Only clicked edit though? didnt know it would spawn another thread

Hi everyone, i went away friom corrados last year but now im back as i couldnt stay away from them an especially couldnt stay away from G-laders! Anyway, i bought this car here from a chap whos a member on here (hi!) and i love it! it started life as a 16v but had a G60 transplant a few years back and it was a darn good one from the looks of things! anyway il stop boring you now, i picked it up saturday like this........ But i really dont like Sebrings so last night i bought theses And fitted them this morning Further plans are sort out the dsr arch rust and the bit on the ds sill, replace the shocks an springs with Coilovers, change the 2 slat grill back to a regular one (swap anyone?) and remove the eyebrow. So yeah, cool!

Yeah was the battery, i jumped it an ran it around for a bit and now appears fine, i didnt leave anythin on but the only thing i can think of is i left the stereo fascia on it, not switched on but its the only thing i can think of. ah well, thats one shit i can cross off the list! ANyone on here a techy who can sort my heater out?

Hey all, i left my car on my drive whilst i was working away this weekend, came home yesterday went to start it and......nothing!! It didnt even try and turn over, the lights an that cam on albeit very dim. What do we think, just battery or something more sinister? Thanks Jords

Hi all, newbie post here, recently bought my First Corrado and this morning was the first really cold morning we've had, iv noticed a few things, My heater is crap, it really is crap, blows luke warm if at all, so cant clear a windscreen. new matrix needed? Also the fans only work on setting 4. not at all on the other 3 settings. The whole of the inside of the car was iced up an took forever to deice! is this a normal thing for corrados or is mine just shit? If anyone can help me with these issues it would be really appreciated. Jords
