  1. Hi mate it does just pull off!
  2. Some really nice pics up on here. Good to see everyones car in one place :) Guess this is probably my fave, not got that 'stance' from this angle. But I do go on edition 38 nor hang out in MacDonalds car parks so not to worry tto much :grin:
  3. I doubt it very much. Why? Cos I havent seen any corrados ever with BMW split rims :grin: Pretty sure the ET is too low on the BM's to make adaptors viable
  4. That looks sweeeeeeeet :D Love the colour 8)
  5. Hard! I bought a roof rack ot easier :D
  6. Hmmmm £32k........... Golf Edition 30 with a few thousand miles on clock £3k on engine mods 320bhp and LSD, plus a brand new Polo Moda for the missus :grin: I will live without the power draining weighty 4wd and garish body kit thanks :wink:
  7. Yeah got my old wheels giv em back :lol: Car looks great, got anymore pics of the bits and pieces? Matt
  8. :lol: Yes you are both right! I need to be rich and have both types of car. Still looking for a cheapish daily driver so I can put the Corrado back in the garage. Will appreciate it a lot more then and will be more of an occasion when I do take it out. Got too much money, time and dare I say affection tied up the EVL bugger to get rid :grin: I think getting the suspension sorted will be the big thing that makes me happy. And yes I would like a big power Rado. Tempting to buy a decent 2k car for a daily and give it to Vince! But I know the costs wouldnt stop there! Plus I would be getting even worse MPG :lol: Thanks for reassuring me once more and tellin me how it is..again.... :grin:
  9. Do you mean lack of torque? VR6 certainly doesnt have a lack of power. It just has shit gearing! Drop it down a cog and pedal the thing :grin: Schrick is worthwhile for the extra torque makes car much more driveable as a daily. But it is an expensive option for 20ft lb of torque and a couple of horses!
  10. Have to meet up some time. Would love to check your car out after all the work you have been putting in. Perhaps we can get the midlands and yorkshire lot together on the edge of the Peak somewhere, somewhere soon. Matt
  11. Daily looks nice mate! Wheels suit it well and I think you may have peruaded me to put my rubbing strips back on! Know what you mean about the BMC. Really should take mine off and get an extra 10mpg LOL How does the Rotrexed engine sound? 8)
  12. Felt like selling up at the weekend again. Back using the C as a daily which seems a waste, although pretty fun! Then had a rubbish drive back from Hull. Was already a bit miffed having a dirty bike in the back of my car and missed my junction on the M62 and had to do a rather large detour through Doncaster :gag: All because the M62 notice board said juction was 8 mins and 8 miles away. 1 minute and 2 miles later........ Then I had some bloke in a new Audi A6 3.0L Avant goading me to race him :confused4: Since I was feeling miffed I succumbed (which I dont normally do) and was even more pissed when there wasnt really much in it and I pulled about half a car length on him. Anyway...... I was all up for getting rid of the Corrado and buying a nice practical Audi 3L Avant (to put my dirty bike in). Well I might as well if they are that speedy and practical. Was only then that I found out that the 3L Audi A6 has a superchager bolted to it and pushes out 290bhp and 310ft lb. Dont normally willy waggle but cheered me up a little at the end of my long drive :lol: And yeah I know the A6 weighs the same as a battleship but the blokes expression was still funny to behold :grin: Plans for near future: Really need to get my 288' calipers painted up and fitted, along with my new MK4 rears. Got a tiny bit of rust on bottom of my drivers door and on the towing eye, so need to get these bits sorted ASAP. By the time I have done that, it will be time to put my Futuras back on so that will cheer me up a little. Also spoke to DG about powdercoating the subframes. And I still need to decide on KW1's or KW'3s :shrug: and where the hell I am going to get the money from :lol:
  13. Had mine off for years! Bloody pain in the arse piece of crap :lol: Should be an essential mod :grin:
  14. Mine will be in Hull this wekend :D
  15. My mate has a 280bhp 280 torque normal Gti 5dr in black. Looks spot on 8) It is silly fast as well. A ED30 with 330bhp would be plain and utter stupidity. Frickin love it!!!!! :luvlove: :lol: You would need an LSD!
  16. Hey bud car is looking awesome! Top work. Not happy that there is now another sexy Aqua blue rado cruising around my neck of the woods :lol: :wink: Really fancy a ride in your car some time if you are up for it. Need the push to get my suspension sorted. And I reckon your car running on the softer suspension and 16's may just be that push! Interested in how the OBD2 feels also 8) Oh and to see your lights, as I havent fitted my loom yet either LOL. Shame I cant get over to Derby tomorrow night really :(
  17. Doesnt it also use the engine out of the S3 which is stronger....?
  18. Have had similar thoughts and I keep coming back to ED30. No brainer with the residuals, practicality, spec and turbo tuning potential
  19. LOL Thats why I went off topic. Be a boring thread if not :wink:
  20. LOL Yes that would be nice :grin: Bit gutted I never bought the E30 M3 now instead of the Corrado. Well I am when I look at the current resale values :lol: Matt
  21. I do like them :grin: The thing that puts me off though is the price when you dont get that M3 engine :norty: Do you know anything about the supercharged AC Schnitzer cars?
  22. What do Alpina do to the engines on the B3 to get the gains? Matt
  23. They sound awesome mate honest :D If its going for £8k can I have it please LOL
  24. Oh yeah :grin: You can tell Im a VW guy and not a Saab guy at heart lol :wink: Dont blame you for keeping it that long, looks well nice 8) You know where it is now?
