Looking good bud. How are you finding the 3.68FD?

I just remembered your thread. Oh no. lol. I've never done it before either haha, this could be interesting. I just read online that the boxster front calipers are also the exact same dimensions but have far superior braking power (obviously) so on the hunt for a set of those now lol.

No more pics for now as it's snowing but it looks pretty much the same as in this link from UD09... http://www.psituning.com/page.php?xPage=26corradostorm.html Spec nicked from the add: 2.8 V6 4motion engine conversion with cruise control, BMC CDA, Miltek Decat back, custom code stage 2; RR'd at 222BHP, ill fish out the dyno plot and let you guys know what the torque is later lol. FK konigsport silverline coilovers. Team dynamics 17” black alloy wheels with Pirelli P zero nero tyres. Drilled 288mm front brake disks with Porsche boxster 2.5 black brake calipers and pads. Powerflex bushes all round. Clarion DXZ868RMP CD headunit with AUX IN & Bluetooth. Custom boot install with JL audio amp and JL audio subwoofer and Jl components front and back and custom boot floor. I must say it's a great car, I got lucky I guess, I called the guy the morning the add went up (it's been on ebay in the past plenty of times) and so got dibs really lol. He's been getting calls non stop even while I was there to pick the car up! To do's in no specific order: Fit aero wipers (thanks to enthusiastowned) Fit my chunky ass steering wheel Sort the brakes out as for some reason they're worse then stock VR brakes, a couple brake hoses were changed a few days ago to get it through mot so maybe the system needs to be bled etc, i'm guessing air is trapped. No pedal feel and even when I stamp on em the car hardly stops unless I use engine braking. Do something about the ridiculously low alloy sump, the lads at PSI suggested sticking on a 12v VR sump as it's steel so will take a few hits before giving up... Take out the entire sound system and sell it (pm me if interested) and put my shiz in Replace the BMC with a rediculous cone filter to try and capture a bit of 12v intake roar (also pm me if interested lol) Get front arches painted; maybe a few other bits too Detail the car Kick back and relax!! It drives ace, torque is awesome, top end doesn't feel as bad as I thought it would be, still needs some cams or something though. Handles awesome too while having a decent ride. Could do with 205/40's though instead of the 195/40s (yes im growing up LOL). Gotta give it to the previous owner who had all the work done on the car; its spec is pretty comprehensive. Oh and the interior is near mint, heated seats are weak though! Thanks for reading, more pics soon!

Andy are they heated by any chance?

Yeah they're currently in a Helios blue g60, was on ph a few months ago at 4.8k!!!!

Wow! How do you find living with it in general?

Yeah I agree the GTR definitely counts as a supercar in terms of performance, hyper car in fact, but as far as the term exotic is concerned I'm not sure it cuts it!! 458's are immense IMO but I personally think its quite unatractive... I reckon the 355 was the last properly good looking supercar Ferrari made... Kev, I'm surprised you havent given up on the rado and bought a 911 or something, you probably would've saved money lol.

LOL I have no clue, never owned a supercar so who am I to judge! I would personally put a 928 in the sports car/gt bracket though personally!

As above, just having a dreamy moment after having been to Loughton MB dealerships with a friend to collect some parts; they had a black SLS convertible on display. I don't think i've ever spent so much time eyeing up anything, stunning car up close in person... :) So anyone got anything exotic? Cheers Abdul

Nice rado mate, welcome to the forum... G60 or VR?

Sorted

Im pretty sure he's got a beastly engine planned for this year. Check out his bros car and the rest of the westside cars. They don't do things in halves.

That second vid with the storm makes me want a standard storm so bad (maybe lowered a little lol). It's actually kinda sad almost, makes it sound as though vw just neglected the poor rado...

Even with a 2.0 bottom end etc 200bhp isn't really achievable. God knows how they got those figures. Pm Abbas on edition38, username corradlo.

That was awesome, love how he flashed the cops then run lol.

Wow that's a stunner mate, looked best on sebrings though IMO.

What Pete said, once the covers are off its all self explanatory.

Door cards off, door pods off door cards, pop the nuts off that are holding the speakers in. Pop your new speakers on and tap them down with a small mallet or similar then bolt up and refit doorcard. Honestly it is actually that simple.

Awesome glad to hear it.

Lol fair play... Hows ur new lump running? 2.8 right?

There wouldn't really be any point in breaking it though would there, that's a pretty complete car...

HAHA LOVE IT! Steering lock should do no?

Oh no, dogs scare me. No joke. Rottys especially lol.

At that price I'd imagine there polished so only good for those who don't mind a bit of cleaning every once in a while!
