  1. you can buy pure peanut oil from health food shops, might work better ?!
  2. get some bump strips, a grill and a VW badge cropped onto him :lol:
  3. my gf's taken to shouting "look a 'rado!!" from time to time just to see my reaction :censored: I fall for it every time :(
  4. saw a red 16v on bbs's in Palma Majorca last week. the only one i saw all week ! my gf thinks i'm very sad and that my reaction was excessive and immature :roll:
  5. Really like all of them. :) ah! so much in common, great tunes to punish the car to :lol:
  6. spotted a black corrado coming off the M4 at the Tuns junction slough. you ugly_bloke ? I gotta tag you back :lol: what should I be looking for ?
  7. Songs I've recently been trying not to drive too fast to are: "Give it all" by Rise Against "Wonderful night" by Fat Boy Slim "F**k the hook" by Skinny Man "The Hand That Feeds" by Nine Inch Nails "Painkiller" by Pendulum Vs Freestylers and "Harriet" by kissy sell-Out all wicked tunes to drive to but I have to admit that I often turn the volume way down, open the window and just listen to the charger hummmmm :luvlove:
  8. awesome :clap: I can rest safe in the knowledge that I officially exist :lol: saw 2 myself today, wondered if either were you... dark blue corrado on the A4 near taplow heading onto the m4 at about 7:50 this morning black corrado (again not sure type) at 11:00 ish on stoke road near wexham park, gave a wave and got a smile back (I wasn't in mine though so he may have thought me weird :( )
  9. http://www.corrado-teile.de/shop/produc ... ights.html I think the postage was about £20 ? took less than a week to arrive :)
  10. well you get the 7.5s and i'll get the 9s and we can swap 2 each :D
  11. thanks :D i think they suit it as the top bar is a similar colour to the body
  12. what "down and out" thing ? like a hobo ? :lol: silver was my fav too, and arse about the cat :( its a 1995 so had a feeling it was a must but just thought i'd check. ya think these borbets would fit without rolling the arches ? its lowered about 40-50 ish i think and i had to add 20mm rear 15mm front hub centric spacers which i guess would come off ?
  13. thanks but i'm now thinking of changing them for 16" 9j borbet A's. Here's a mock-up, what dya think ?
  14. engines in after a string of problems (not least a new loom as the wiring was so different) and it's running sweet as :D built to 265 bhp /145mph spec but as yet untested, going to start looking for a rolling road in berkshire soon. The only prob could be that it was mapped to a C without the cat (1991) and I'm not sure of the legalities of decatting mine being it's a 1995 :confused4: had it on the road for a week or so now but still haven't had the opportunity to pitch it against anything worth while but compared to the 2.0 8v it's a BIG diference ! I'm still driving without tunes so I can listen to that charger hum :luvlove:
  15. got confused with the photo uploads, bit hungover :gag: !!
  16. hey all :) bought a 2.0 ltr 8v back in August, 2 previous owners, 75000 miles on the clock with full service history. Loved it but wanted a little more oomph :D Was offered a fully rebuilt 1.9 ltr G60 transplant with just 6000 miles on it inc G-werks rebuilt stage 5 charger and stage 4 chipped beast. since then I've added 5 spoke 17" black Rota alloys, 20mm widened at the rear and 15mm front, lowered it on coilovers, sports exhaust, smoked taillights from ARZ tuning, badgeless grill with eyebrows, smoked side repeaters and other stuff i cant remember just now! Would have been much easier and cheaper to just buy a G60 but this is fully to my spec and I know for a fact that it's all 100% sound so no head aches/nasty surprises in store ( aside from the usual G60 quirk's no doubt !! ) heres some pics from start to finish (pics of the transplant to follow some time later)......
  17. here's my 2.0 8v, my first corrado and only had it a few months now :clap: just added the exhaust and alloys so far, next i'm thinking of lowering it slightly to fit the new wheels and then air filter and cam shaft (funds permiting). Runs perfectly so i dont want to mess with her too much and i'm not disappointed with the speed/performance but a little more tweek would be good so i hope the new cam will perk her up a bit 8)
  18. Thanks, i'll look into the schrick cam. I'm adding a sports exhaust and thinking of upgrading the air filter as well as getting some rota slipstream alloys so i'll wack on some pictures once done :)
  19. I've recently bought a 8v 2.0 with 74k on the clock, all original, 2 owners and full history. It drives really well but i'm lookignfor suggestions to give it a bit more umph ! anyone ?! :help:
