Don't think you can strip it. Just completely fill it with carb cleaner, and leave it soaking for a while. Actually made a bit of difference on my VR when I did this. Seemed to run smoother.

Just bought a Turn 2 style CAI from Intake_Power on US Ebay. Cost me £55 inc postage, and it's got a genuine K & N filter. I'll let y'all know what it's like when it arrives in a couple of weeks.

I said 'pretty much', thus making the statement uncatogorical :roll: :wink: Seriously though Kev, you're right- they're utterly different beasts which are impossible to compare. My old EG 1.6 VTI would have given any of my C's a run for their money up to around 80mph, as long as it's acceleration wasn't interrupted- which is exactly why I didn't get on with it- constant gear changing, which becomes waring when you want a lazy blat.

Surely if you locate the cone out of the engine bay, i.e. through the carbon can hole, that's the best way to get the most cold air to the engine- a la Turn 2, Carbonio etc? A cone will have more surface area than a panel filter and won't the longer intake tube create a bit more torque? Correct me if I'm wrong.

As pablo_vr6 said, the old EK9 Type-R (JDM only) was a vastly superior race track car to the new garden shed. Would eat pretty much any Corrado alive around a track am afraid to say.

G60Dub, I remember now- were you waiting to pull out on the left and I was driving towards town?

No! Get a panel filter and either drill the box or duct some cold air in- or do both. Do a search- been discussed a lot. Did this on both my valvers- more responsive and you get a very nice sound.

anthonyk, have seen a green VR6 in the mornings sometimes, driving through Chartham Hatch- that you? G60Dub, quite often along Broad Oak road- don't think it would have been me cos I don't remember seeing you. I drive a black K-reg VR with Solitudes and smoked FK tail lights- keep an eye out for me. South East meet would be good, but all my weekends are tied up for house hunting at the mo'. Maybe in a couple of months- convoy sounds cool- I'd like to see my old VR again too 8) (Nikki's VR)

anthonyk, what do you drive? I'll keep an eye out for you!

It all seems to be in a bit of a mess at the mo' :( That said, it's well worth joining- I always get 10% off anything from the stealer, and a good reduction from Adrian Flux. The National Day at Woburn a year and a half ago was also superb. But, I agree, more things should be going on for members. Hopefully when the website gets sorted, and after the next AGM things will be looking up again.

bristolbaron, the blue G60 isn't my old one is it?

Chris, Aqua Blue Pearl and had tinted tails and side repeaters and an eyebrow spoiler when I sold her. Sounded like a spitfire :wink:

Although the Valver is great, it just can't compare to the VR. Go for it :D

Really like the new outline, but still think it would be much better with the font from the first page. For the back just a small and simple www. corrado-forum.net at the bottom would be really 8)

Sold my old G60 to a guy from Bristol- J18 ACC- keep an eye out for it!

Just buy one from Halfrauds or VW, unless you've got the patience and skill to fabricate your own- which I haven't got!

Like the new outline, but prefer the old text.

Just spoke to my dealer about this- part number doesn't come up, haven't heard of it, yadayadayada. They told me it must be an after market part, and wouldn't believe me when I said it was genuine VW. So irritating.

They look excellent quality and are well designed, but as others have said, don't think I'd wear one with 'cnut' on it. Defo buy one with just VR Six on it though!

Yeh, you can delete the carbon can, or just relocate it. Think they have an option on the Turn2 filter for a small breather filter to go on the carbon can hose.

Think Chris (2CC on here) lives around that way.

Sold Schabak models to davebirl and Supercharged. Both paid very quickly- nice doing business with you both :D Cheers guys.

8) What's the drop?

WTF?!!! Family hatch... :lol: First time I've heard the C called that!

Anything for the Golf Mk2 & 3 will fit.
