I can't comment on G60s frugality, but I have driven back from both Prague and Rome after banger rallys in a 3L BMW and a 2.6 Merc at similar speeds to yourself low 20s were the best we could achieve.

I've got 4 Toyo Proxis on mine, it was a hot day and so many cars in front it wasn't worth overtaking

I get just shy of 30mpg in normal use, I've seen 40 stuck behind long trails of traffic at steady speed. Do a brim to brim check, the dash maybe pessimistic? http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?94836-Something-you-don-t-see-every-day-(vr6)

It is possible to enjoy a car with character that needs a bit more driver input than a new car. My DBP VR6 has a clutch release bearing that's failing, it gives a little chirp when pulling away, it will randomly stall every second or third journey. It has no radio as I like the peace and engine note and there's a lot to be said for driving an old car with a cable throttle.

Going back 4 or 5 years owners were comparing prices of hot hatches of a similar age and saying how low Corrado prices were in comparison and wishing the prices higher. I said at the time higher prices would only prevent enthusiasts buying them and they would become a commodity for the well healed and dealers. I wanted a MK2 GTi when I bought my first Corrado VR6, at the time the Golfs fell into 3 categories, rot boxes, chavved and modded badly and standard or nicely modded but expensive. So I bought a DBP VR6 with leather, one owner female living in the Isle of Man (no road salt used in winter) for a grand. It had never had an MOT in its life, but I managed to scrape it through the day after I got it home - ABS light on, handbrake crap and typical white steam / smoke due to lack of use. Then another VR6 game up for sale here, Grimmys green Storm, overheated and head gasket blown, rusty front wings, needs a small patch on the drivers sill and a bubble on the NSR arch, no where near as clean underneath as the DBP but a snip at £650...... Would I pay £10K for one? No, I like my cars to have depreciated as much as they can and cheap to repair - not something you can say about the newer VAG stuff. Current fleet, 2 VR6s above - both SORN, 2 Audi TTs (ones a breaker) and an old faithful MK4 Golf TDi estate, she drives a 2010 Scirocco TDi, one car losing money in the household is more than enough for me

Mods only as far as I'm aware

I tried to copy and paste and the *******s still won't allow them to load. I suppose the only thing to do is message 24vrenshaw and see if he still has the pics or can download them from PB? I have a set so will need pics as and when I use them

That's an early interior with switches on the door card, not the door pocket

Great to watch. Needs to be made a sticky as make do and mend will be the way forward for our cars

Ditto the above, I crashed my FB account 6 or 7 yeas ago and use a fictitious name now (I'm on my second after being banned for using a famous name earlier this year - I suspect someone reported me) and join groups I'm interested in, friends chosen carefully, but no family as others would guess easily who I am due to my interests. I only use messenger to arrange to buy items and statuses are **** taking, banter and funny videos etc.

You're efforts are appreciated Jim, as all the mods (except Supercharged?) are Corrado-less now maybe we need a new section for non Corrados?

Jay Renshaw did a group buy for polly mounts several years ago, I bet there's a few sets around unused? Try a wanted ad?

Others will know better but I think you can do a TDi 5th gear swap without removing the gearbox (done underneath the passenger wheel arch) for more relaxed cruising.

AUM is a 150BHP? I had an Octavia with a revo remap with the AUM and K03s turbo so I can imagine how well the lighter Golf goes (AUQ is 180). Nice project, if it was mine I'd add a GTi front spoiler and a standard looking twin exit back box.

Pics of the hose to calliper connections would help

Rear compensator seized?
