Put my name down, black set, no clips, please

I have it now and had it before in one of my corrado. Don't know the solution now as my wheel alignment is incorrect in all positions but in the past I did full wheel alignment and it resolved this problem in 100%.

stuff like viewtopic.php?f=13&t=96637 viewtopic.php?f=13&t=96188 2 x heads for turbo or n/a one include shimmel cams, engine mounts, arp bolts, etc, all will be posted soon

I've made my decision. was thinking about it for few past weeks, and I'm selling Corrado and every single part I've managed to collect. If you ask me if I won't regret it, answer is I don't know but it's time to move forward. I'd like to try other cars, like TVR, M3, R32, Lotus and definitely Skyline R34 GTR
-
Just had Corrado for the past 8 years, almost since I did pas my driving test and I would like to swap. I'm no bother at all about MPG, my allroad has 14,7 mpg average and vr6 is not much better at all. I'm doing average 300 miles a month, my job is less than 1,5 mile away, shops are even closer so just fancy something different, don't have to be practical as still will be keeping allroad or will finally get so diesel myself. Skyline, always love look of r34 gtr, and always wanted one. EVO, looks great but why insurance is double than skyline ??
-
Now I can see I'm not alone. Fantastic car but you get bored, how is it possible, have no idea but have exactly this same with my vrt project.
-
I know, I know, but when fitting turbo why don't remap it on maximum power if everything else i capable to hold this power. To be honest I don't need more than 300 bhp, it's just what i want, not what I need :lol: Of course I would be very happy to look and feel your vrt.
-
don't like their look, only r34 gtr looks nice for me :)
-
4x4 is must when going over 400bhp and it's not as that expensive as you think, anyway original vr6 gearbox doesn't hold 550 bhp for long but 02m will be fine for long time.
-
Insurance is around 1k a year so not as that bad, some can have cheaper, depends oo your NCB

Spent some time on skyline forum and look through few sale advertise (not much of them) and to be honest have to thing about everything once again. VRT like I want will cost me around 15-17k and will be running 550 bhp 4 wheel drive having almost all new parts at least all new mechanical parts. Is it worth to build it. Of course yes. GTR like I want will cost around 25-30k and will be running 330-600 bhp depends what will I manage to find. Sadly this price way over my budget :( There is a 3rd solution of buying GTT with GTR looks like conversion and running around 400-500 bhp, depends what you can find at the moment. Very tempted about it. Both GTR and GTT will be low mileage cars but not new and always something can break. It's very hard to make some reasonable decision but looks like GTR have to wait, maybe some day will won a lotto :)
-
not going much of topic what was 2k for ?? I usually fix my cars myself, so costs of parts and tools only :) for example I had to replace one of front air bag's in my allroad, audi asked 1250 inc vat, cost me 300 + 2 hours of my time.
-
can't afford now, first of all have to sell all corrado parts
-
as more I'm reading about them on skyline forum as much more I'm afraid about costs
-
think is that I'm not 100% sure, I'm changing my mind every day and still can't decide, like a little boy in a toy shop can't decide what toy he wants :D

I bought my first Corrado in September 2002, can't remember exact day but it was beginning of September, in the past 8 years I had 2.0 16, 1.8 20vt, vr6, 1.8 20vt and vr6 again which I was planning to make turbo. It was great 8 years, Corrado is fantastic car but is time for change. It's time to say good bye to Corrado. Lack of use and lost of love, thought it will never happen but last few months was thinking about change and decided to do this. What next Don't really know yet, first of all have to sell everything so please expect few for sale posts in near future. My dream is Skyline r34 gtr but we will see. I'd like to try cars like tvr, m3, maybe something else.

I could easily park a bus it there :D
-
That is what I'm afraid most
-
no and no, anyone would like to give me a drive ?? coullstar :)
-
this is the simplest way but if you add sp cargecooler, sp inlet manifold + full rebuild forge engine + rebuild head you have over 10k.
-
Evo is nice but why price of insurance is double than skyline :(
-
For that what I already spent could get something like that http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/ ... ?logcode=p For me, good value for money
-
Was waiting for your answer and was expecting similar answer from you. Still didn't make any decision, just want both very badly but GTR is something what I always wanted.

Trust me if RS6 would be with manual gearbox I would go for it long time ago. RS4 - perfect car, but there is to many of them on the road, I need coupe anyway. Already have allroad 2.7T as a daily so don't really need another big car.
