Corrado Club Great Britain website - where's it gone?
chubbybrown replied to golddust's topic in General Car Chat
I'm not in it the Local dealer does not give C.C.G.B discount, so my last £15 went into the coffers here, Im sure Andy wouldnt mind a few quid to grease the wheels from anyone with any spare change and that is always money well spent :-P -
Vredesteins - very good and popular in Europe, but hardly anyone uses them over here, or knows about them. They are good tyres for the slushy stuff another Brand I would highly recommend and dont all laugh please is : Gislaved frost tyres I had them on a sunny and never let me down if your Golf GTI is on its normal rims and tyres they should be quite cheap too So Gislaved snows or mud n frost both do very well,its somthing to do with the compound still being able to flex at low temps or summit They also have room for studs if your out on the hill m8 :wink: they are made in Scandinavia obviously tested there too :reindeer: :thumb right: :thumbleft: :x-mas: They have a wholesaler here,so theres bound to be one in Aberdeen 8) http://www.viking.co.uk/gislaved.asp

So anyone thought about stripping out a vr6 I wonder what weight you could loose. :?: :idea: -
So what do you need for it

if your going to look for a head unit Pixmania do pioneer headunits far cheaper than any UK source. I ordered 1am and arrived at door via DHL 35 hours later marvelous and still using standard speakers so far as its only had original Blaupunkt and No butchered wires either. twas the cheapest pioneer Mp3 player as I couldnt justify £200 for a stereo when I got a house and family to feed. t.t.f.n chubbz

Hallo mate, we used to get car paint sprayers to laquer wheels to tidy them up with a spraygun,most of the time though we were not about to see them after a new set of tyres were fitted,just watch for bubbles and it has a good key. either that or spray silver then clear coat ?

u not meaning the corrolla .......carina was replace a few years back by the Avensis Maybe..... 51 plate,drove it newish ( 3 month old ) It was a definate coupe with a 6 speed gear and I think red lined about 7-8k rpm but by fuck it moved All I can remember was he had to pay another 2k for leather seats in the rear ! yikes....

Nothing else comapres to HPI

At least you know that some wheels are in motion to get you and your motor back on the street, It doesnt look to bad you might find you may have to cough for the other front strut or get them to void both. My old man got nailed for a clutch after his shed was stolen the insurance do have a cheek sometimes.... So what do you reckon Henny,back b4 crimbo ? :?: :?:
-
Toyota T-Sport either a yaris (new) or a carina with leather

I used to Valet cars at a main dealers and the best thing was taking somthing like this for the bacon roll run :twisted: obviously via the dragstrip 8)
-
I didnt buy the first one,nor the second,nor the third I'd ignore the miles and decide if it feels slack or tight what are you going to offer?
-
Up the west coast line :-D and its quite a sight,enough to stop the traffic ( well they cant get past me as I've stopped in awe ) lol
-
Our one has manual wind windows and no sunroof theres another two things that dont have to be fixed. ah the joys of poverty spec ( nae hassle ) :-D

My Mrs wouldnt sell hers for 3k let alone £1500 so take heart they are worth what people want to pay and sell them for. If you think its only worth a grand fair enough,I dont understand how cheapo 16 valvers can only make £1000 and vr6's can command 8k if in the right condition. If I see a corrado in the right colour around a £1000 it would be a TDI project for sure. I thought more than once regarding coullstars one at the asking price and that was to drop the engine too ! I think 16valve owners sell their cars short as IMOH they are the most reliable. Roy boy

Guys when he says theres no spark its probably the Ignition amp buy it for £500 and make him weep as you start it and drive away :lol: ours was standing for about 2.5 years and had the same prob worth the £500

I have to admire you boys spraying cars in the garage and the finish looks exceptional as well Are you a paint sprayer or someone having fun cos it sure is going to look Good. I see the German Pink golf didnt need side repeaters or they were below the rubbing strip I she couldnt have had a nugget yellow one she would have had a pink or electric Blue corrado. pics look 8) :mrgreen: -
until about 2 years ago you could get a 2bed flat for 40k,a nice one ! a bedsit probably from 27k a bit rough of course. since many have moved north you would pay 60k for anything decent so far up north m8 the air is so thin :wink: put it this way Im closer to Bergen than London
-
I would expect a house for 36k
