    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!

    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

    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.

    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.

    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 :

    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 :)
