Not sure if he will still do the remaps now.. Dave wrote a remap for VR6 Corrado's when he was part of DG Autotech along with Graham. He's since moved on but DG Autotech are still running - I just don't know if Graham still has the maps and can still remap a VR6. Another modification you might consider to compliment a remap is a set of performance cams.. a remap and cams could net you up to 15-20BHP but a new set of cams are a bit expensive!

Jim replied to corradlo's topic in Cars for Sale [Corrado]
What are the alloys mate? Don't think I've ever seen them before! -
Have fun guys! If I didn't have family coming over today, I was seriously considering making the drive up for this because it's such a nice day! Remember to put some pics up!
-
Sounds like a multitude of problems in there! Good luck getting it all sorted.
-
Hmm.. unless Graham took my car for a bit of a run then I don't think that was me! I'd dropped my car off and was back home (via the train) by midday and didn't go back to get it till this (Saturday) morning.
-
Very nice! Would love to do a little track day there - Mallory Park is an absolutely fantastic circuit!
-
Saw Swompy at DG Autotech today... sorry I didn't hang around for a chat mate but a friend of mine had given me a lift over and needed to get back unfortunately! Will have a look around your VR next week at the AGM!

Had this happen with something I received as a gift quite a few years back from the states - was followed up with a customs charge bill a few weeks later. Won't name the courier but I just ignored it and never heard from them again.

Renshaw project (probably going to sell / swap)
Jim replied to 24V Renshaw's topic in Members Gallery
Superb work Jay! Enjoying these updates! -
Ah shame! I feel the Solitudes have aged pretty well and look good on a lowered Corrado :) Hope to meet up with you at some point for a chat! I'm back over there tomorrow morning to pick up the car.

Porsche brembo calipers and eurospec rear 280 brakes
Jim replied to black dub's topic in Parts for Sale
I just want to point out that Deako's post was reported by the OP however I've elected not to remove it. Frankly he knows what he's talking about and makes some important observations regarding safety.. I feel it's important that anyone considering buying these brakes should be able to weigh up all the options and take information like that into consideration. Sorry black dub. -
My first "spot" in a LONG time. Hooray! That was me mate! Presume yours was was the Storm in for a service? Looked very nice, clean and original including the very tall suspension! :) Believe me mines not mint unfortunately but looks nice and shiny from a distance... Would have stopped for a chat but Graham had to drop me back to the train station and I didn't want to hold him up so he could get back and get cracking on the days work.

Someone needs to make a special hybrid badge that reads VR32 :)
-
If they're minty mint I'd say you could ask for £250 :)

Renshaw project (probably going to sell / swap)
Jim replied to 24V Renshaw's topic in Members Gallery
You'd only sell them again in a few weeks!! :) -
S'ok mate - it's been sorted. Thanks for offering though :)
-
Get checking for air leaks and agree the fuel filter should be replaced.. when was it last done?
-
Doh - hadn't thought about Elsecar :) Have PM'd him to suggest that as a meeting point :)
-
C5 OEM has a BBS Solitude alloy + tyre that I want but unfortunately isn't going to the AGM. Was hoping that'd be an ideal time to get it off him. Just wondered if anyone in the vicinity is going and would be willing to meet up with him to collect the wheel and bring to the AGM? I'd happily throw some beer tokens to anyone kind enough to do so. Thanks in advance.

Word of Warning Regarding Chris Knott and No Claims Bonus..
Jim replied to Jim's topic in Chris Knott Insurance
Not good at all mate but I suppose you did at least get your missing four years back! No consolation for the lost year though! :( -
Hard to beat Blackberry sometimes - looks fantastic :)
-
Welcome :)
-
I'd take the alloy mate. Are you coming to the AGM?
-
To be fair virtually every motoring journo said the same thing! :)
-
Hah.... I think what he meant to say is "To give the Corrado the performance and sound to match it's looks and increase reliability they put the VR6 lump in.."
