  1. I know the interior is gone but have you still got the headlining? Whats it like? Also, I assume the roof gutter trims have gone, but just in case...
  2. I will second that. Now that the mechanicals are sort of working, I am keen to get the cosmetics sorted, so this is fairly high on the list!

  4. Hi All, Been having a bit of a long running problem with my Mk4 R32 engined VR6, so I though I would ask this in here in case anybody else has run into this or has any good ideas. It runs fine, pulls well, idles a little low when cold but not drastically so. However, in 2nd gear (and only in 2nd gear) when under full load it stutters at about 3,000 rpm and again at about 5,000. Its been into a few indys who don't seem to be able to cure it, not helped by the lack of fault codes its throwing up. MAF has been changed, throttle body cleaned, new coil packs, etc etc. I am thinking that it has to be some sort of ECU issue (currently running a standard Mk4 R32 one) but not being an expert I have no clue what and why it would only effect 2nd. I also want to get the throttle position sensor altered, as 10% pedal depression = 90%ish throttle which can be a bit tiring, so a bit of ECU work is not the end of the world, but just before I book it in for some rolling road time and a remap, has anyone got any other ideas? Also, any recomendations for a good rolling road place? Cheers!
  5. Cheers for that, yeah the passanger side looks a little beaten, the drivers looks ok. Whats the rust like? :) Build is going ok ta, R32 lump is in and running, so just got to sort the brakes out and shove the rear beam on and it will be rolling. There is a boat load more to do to get it finished but at least at that point I can drive it, rather then trailer it everywhere!
  6. Hi mate, I was looking for a pas window regulator and possibly a pas side front wing. what are yours like? How you going BTW?
  7. I will be getting rid of my seats soon if you are still looking. I will let you have them cheap too.
  8. Right so no mods that increase BHP by more then 20... what if you have a standard R32 engine in your bay? No mods on it, but its definatly more then a 20bhp increase on the standard engine? Genuinely interested. Although given its parked on the street I could be barking up the wrong tree anyway...
  9. Wow thats good of them! Where abouts was that?
  10. Am I the only person to click on this thread expecting it to be about where to buy a jump pack? ie a flying backpack... Just me then? :cuckoo:
  11. Lovely blue valver in Sainsburys car park off Ladbroke Grove. Nice chat with the owner in the pouring rain! If you are on here, I will send you a text later!
  12. That would do me. Its not asking for much is it. RB5 (and Integra DC2) was on my shortlist prior to getting the Corrado, but it was still fletching strong money then so I got the Corrado instead. :D :clap: Wasn't there one of those Corrado inspirational posters saying something like, "Corrado Owners; Hiding 'teg type R reviews since 1995." Or something... They are both real greats, were it not for the tendancy of the chavs round my way to swing off the back of spoliers I might well have bought an RB5 instead of the 'Rado (shameful as that is to admit.)
  13. Thats a nice one, like the carbon. All my mates have OMP wheels and love em, but I have always prefered Sparco jobs.
  14. That would do me. Its not asking for much is it.
  15. I wonder how many are left in the UK? Not a vast number im guessing. :shrug: (Corrados not new Sciroccos)
  16. Thats a question actually, how many 'Rados were made in total?
  17. This is a really good idea, although in reverse for me. Anyone on here that used to own a sherry pearl VR6 L787 BCN?
  18. Like this, its a good idea. Alex (WreckedGecko) 1. I have an MSc in Forensics 2. Have been shot at on 3 seperate occasions (This was mid civil war, its not that people really don't like me) 3. I have a pet Tarantula called Jimmy
  19. http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/Product.d ... Motorsport This is what I have got. If you want suede (sp??) you cant do better. Lovely thick rim too, fits my gorrila hands nicely. Feels lovely, and is not too small, lets you get you legs in :norty: .
  20. Thats not a bad shout, ABA or AEG lumps arnt they? Bolt on a mahoosive turbo, and away you go (I know its not really that simple but hey...) Could work well with S3 4wd gubbins.
  21. Here watch it buddy! It could be to do with the fact that there where no G60's made after 1991 and so more would have been broken and crashed Also, most of the coooool kids come out after 10pm :camp: You wait till 10:20pm. loadsa G60's then :grin: edit: searched and found a 1993 G60... Was that an american model? I guess you missed the "Hmm... probably not" after it! :tongue: It would be interesting to know why though. it might well be an extra 5 years of attrition in eterms of extra crashes etc.
  22. What sort of a difference do these cams actually make with a VR lump? :scratch: I have seen some silly numbers thrown about, but haven't ever driven a camed and non-camed back to back.
  23. Its interesting that over half the people who have voted (well 51% anyway) have VR6s. I wonder if the people who buy VR6s are more hardcore Rado fans, and are thus more likely to be on here... Hmm... Probably not. Perhaps there were more VRs made then other models individually? Or they have lasted better? Gotta love statistics and made up reasons.
