    :lol: I hope so Jim, from what I've read mk3's are problem free, but all the issues seem easily resolved and alot of them are the same ones the corrado has! for a 8v its actually fairly nippy, I was expecting a real slow-coach. now, how do I persuade the missus a few cosmetic tweeks are 'vital'...

    made you look! :D Its not a Corrado, its a mk3 GTI Its a 5 door, 95(N) reg 8v GTI in what I think is Mystic Blue (dark purply blue) with mint heated leather and 81k on the clock, just serviced, cambelt changed last year, rear axel bushes changed, recent new coil, multilock jobby.... couple of light scratches, one small parking 'ding' but nothing to complain about on a ten year old car.

    totally normal mate, VR's suffer from 'piston slap' on startup, but it goes as the engine warms. nothing to worry about.

    wonder if that means they'll have less refueling stops too?

    First time I've considered doing one of these since I knew the previous owners of both 2nd hand cars I've had in the past. the HPI check is £40 and the RAC one is £25, although it says its powered by HPI... anyone know if theres a difference in how deep they delve?
  12. chrishill
    aprox 42mph isnt it? and down again at 12? can be adjusted though. edit - doh!

    :lol: hardly burning a hole, just warming my leg a bit ;)

  15. chrishill

    merc 190 cosworth?
  17. chrishill
    ah..yes... if i'd looked at the ebay ad i'd have realised that! :lol: sorry bud! still dont see why it wouldnt fit as they're essentially the same engine. if its 'really' good and you combine it with a good exhaust and induction kit you might see 10%

    the golf/corrado 16v engines are pretty much the same, one of the main differences is the manifold though, they 50mm on the golf giving a tad less torque but higher bhp. you can put a 50mm golf manifold onto a corrado so I dont see why this one wouldnt fit!
  19. chrishill
    theres a turbo-technics 16v kit on ebay at the moment, £800 buy it now :)
  20. chrishill
    especially when you consider its a US car... eek!
  21. chrishill
    dunno what your budget is mate but you 'really' need one of these. http://www.rthursby.co.uk/heaters.html

    16v, are you saying that if you pull someone with my name, you get your rear end battered into an unrecognisable pulp? :?
  23. chrishill
    well i'd heard it said before, but about 'old' cars, which I took to mean genuinely old like MG's and morris minors, not 15 year old VW's! lesson learned though, and like walesy, i keep catching the missus out by leaving her car in gear... which is a small victory for me every time she stalls :)

    I hope to GOD that doesnt become my legacy. "oh, someone else's done a chris hill then!" :cry:
