vr6 guru

Hey thier Iv seen this car about too, I saw it from my Green vr6 Corrado at the same time!!!

Hey guys spotted a nice burgundy/ Purple Vr6 in St Davids 2 Cardiff!! Hope you didnt mind me parking next to you... and thanks for the note!!

Thanks for the tip checked it out and its saying the rears will step out an extra 40mm with the adaptors im guesing about 60mm...... Im not sure if thats going to clout the arches or not? Has anyone fitted rears with and extra 50mm and not rolled thier arches????

Hi guys im thinking of buying a set of wheels but really not sure of off sets or if it would even work???? The new wheels are 5x120 so needing adaptors for a vr6 and the sizes are 9j rear et30 7.5j front et35. All 16 inch. With the extra width of the adaptors will these fit??? Thanks for your help guys.

HI guys I'm based in cardiff and just curious is yours the blue vr6 that often parked by the aston garage???

Hi Guys recently due to ever an ever changing life I have decided it might be time to sell my Corrado but im not sure how much for as a ball park figure, its a 94 vr6 in Dragon green in 'mint' condition, showing only 87k and completely original, thousands of pounds worth of receipts, refurbed wheels,refurbed 288's, new tyres, immaculate black cloth interior, glass sunroof, etc etc, just a stunning car. The car is top notch. Any clues guys on what to ask as im pretty stuck :? .

Many thanks mate, I thought as much, that would be a funny sight :camp:

Hello guys just a quick one a mate of mine has dug out some fk coilovers he bought a while ago for his 2litre turbo conversion which started as a 1.8. Will they fit my vr6??? I was thinking the weights will be wrong??? Any help appreciatted thanks guys.

Hello guys I have had my corrado for about 8 months and have loved it to bits, iv been chopping and changing ideas on what to do with it , wether to keep it oe or fit some coilovers... The previous owner has fitted non adjustable bilstien shocks and springs and the car handles like a dream being smooth an the motorway but still composed through the twisties, but is just a little high. Im really not sure if fitting c overs is going to truely screw up the way the car drives??? Dont get me wrong I love the look of the show cars but there is a point when somthing crosses the line from being practical for a daily. I would only want to drop the car down 40mm max. I have seen countless sets of coilovers for sub£400 all over ebay etc, has anyone had any experiance. Any help or advice would be great :) .

Hello guys just a quick one, I have had my corrado about 4 months and its been completely trouble free the abs light pinged on twice in this time but soon went back out. A couple of weeks ago when speeding up the car produced a system such of inbalanced wheels up front vibing back through the steering wheel, checked things over and looked ok. Over the last couple of weeks it happened twice more... On the way across to the edition meet this week and the it happened again big time and I mean BIG TIME.. almost as if the car had one triangular wheel... a burning smell came over the car and I pulled over and the drivers the disk was glowing. Im not sure if this is an ABS failure or is the calipers are prone to sticking.... but I would have thought not this badly? Any clue guys drop me a line...

Jesus sh*t :epicfail:

I know it wasn't directed at me but I go No rice loads, we should get a few of us to meet up before and plan a Corrado convoy one day, too many E36 BMW's there at the moment so we need to show what we're rolling with :) Thats what I like to hear sounds like a grand plan, il tag you guys on here and drop you a line when the next no rice is up!!!! :salute: Too right about the e36's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

just got to say my home town is woking , do you ever head over to No rice in Guildford....?

Have to say guys im in agreement, Corrado's do look nice on BBS's, Borbets etc, but you have to say that VW got it bang on back in the day because so many people like tho look of the originals. I refurbed my speedlines to a high glossy finish and I still think they look awsome. Stick with the speedlines not following the crowd I say!!!! :salute:

Cheers for the heads up mine has got 195,s stretched on so should not have too many probs with it. The moment I fitted my comps last week I stood back and said to my gf I thought it looked like a castle sat on those wheels lol :D so I think mine is going to get dropped too. Are you going for springs or coilovers???

Hey guys just quick one and I know it is a question that has been asked before. I have just fitted some audi TT comps to the corrado and of course you cannot fit the centre caps on the back. I have had people tell me that the flat plain wheel spacers are not such a good idea is they allow the wheels to twist on the bolts....? I can imagine this being the case if you have 40mm spacers :gag:. I think to fit the comps snugly and fit the centre caps would they need to be 5 or 10mm? Please can someone drop a line just to put me on the straight and narrow :D .
