  4. I think I'm gonna stay with the Rado for a while, it's just a great car to have. It's just some of the people that I know who know naff all about cars keep having digs at me about my old car. Funnily on my way home from work today on the M4, a Rado VR6 came right up behind me and we convoyed for a few miles and just had a play, a quick thumbs up, and we both go our serarate ways. I hardly ever see any Rados on my daily commute so this put a smile on my face. Also, I hav'nt been to any meets or shows for years, so I guess I need to hit a few and find my enthusiasm once again. Cheers lads, thanks for reminding me I own one of the best front wheel drive handling cars ever made!
  5. As of recent, a lot of my friends and family say to me more often 'why don't you get yourself a newer car now, instead of driving around that old VW!' I do love my Corrado G60 and can't really think of another affordable car that I would rather have, it has clocked 140k now and although it drives fine, it has crossed my mind that maybe I should sell it while I could get a reasonable price on it. I don't know, I love the power it has and it looks great for such an old car, but peer pressure to get a newer modern car is as it's highest at the mo. Is 140k a turnoff for a potential buyer on a G60, What kind of mileages are fellow Corrado owners clocking on their cars? + What are your thoughts on my 'mid twenty age' car dilemma ? Cheers Vick.
  6. Hi, I would like a 3 relay kit also, please pm me the details. Cheers
  7. Hey guys, I have the following mods on my G60 - BBM RSR FMIC 68mm Pulley / SNS Chip K&N Filter Miltek Exhaust The charger is standard, but was serviced to standard spec by Gwerks by the previous owner, around 25k ago. Thinking ahead to maybe get the charger serviced in a few months time. I'm sure some of you guys can advise, ideally I'd like some gain in power and a more louder charger noise, but would the Race Spec mod make much of a difference on my setup to warrant the extra £££ ? Sorry if this has come up before, but I could'nt find anything in the search, Thanks.
  8. I have got an RSR outlet on mine & the boost return mod. Also a FMIC with re routed piping. It sounds good, but that Rallye was insane !
  9. Does a ported charger sound any different to a standard one ? The other I day I was talking to a guy with a ralleye which had a ported G60 charger (from Germany) and that sounded amazing compared to my one in the Rado. I'll be looking to get my one done at some point and will definately be sending it up to GWERKS.

    Late Black G60

    Bloody hell Riley ! That will be a bloody fun car to drive with the Nitrous !!! Can the bottom end handle 300 + bhp tho ? Let us know how she goes with the laughing gas !
  11. I remember this car was advertised on Piston Heads a few months back. I had arranged to go and see it, but by that time it got sold ! Seemed like a nice car in the advert, but looks great now ! Have you still got the old keskins mate ?
  12. Cheers Corrado_Addict ! As much as I like the Corrado, the Mk1 will always be my favourite, absolute beast to drive ! I see you also have a red G60 with black wheels ! Looks good mate !
  13. Waynos - I'm in Hayes. You round the area too ? I hav'nt got too many Mk1 pics, but heres a few : Mk1 will be out again next year when it's a bit warmer !

    Help me spend

    How about throttle bodies ? Properly set up you can achieve 200 + bhp ! Bolt on bolt off if you ever need to sell them again. They sound insane too, especially at 7k rpm !
  15. Hi guys, I bought a Corrado G60 that was advertised on Piston Heads a few months ago and joined the forum shortly after but hav'nt posted yet. It's a J plate, Red G60 with full black leathers and only 2 previous owners. It was totally standard when I picked it up and was in lovely condition. The only engine mods were a Miltek Exhaust (cat removed) 68mm pulley and SNS chip. It had a full service at GWERKS with a standard charger rebuild so it's all good in that department. Being the dub-head & speed freek that I am, I could'nt leave it standard :nuts: In the few months I've had it I've done the following. Fitted : -K&N Filter & drilled air box -Boost Return Mod -Front Mount Intercooler -Slimline Radiator Fan -RSR Outlet (thanks to flusted!) -FK Coilovers -De-Badge Grill -15"x8" Black Compomotives ( Temporarily nicked from my Mk1 ) + lots of the other little jobs. The above engine mods has made it a lot quicker ! It's pretty quick now and fun to drive ! I don't want to go all out on it, as it's a daily driver and I have a 250bhp Mk1 20vt to play with on the side 8) A few poor quality phone pics : Engine Before Engine After ( without BBM RSR ) I reckon the wheels look better in real life, but with 15's, it scrapes everywhere ! Especially in West London ! Anyways, what you guys reckon, I'm a bit new to G60's, any other tricks to get a few more ponies ? Cheers :)
