ausgolfer

that name rings a bell, have the article handy? Might do a google image search and see what I come up with Don't think it was that person, the car I am trying to remember was definitely a VR6 turbo. The car could have been one of the other dark metallic colors but definitely wasn't black.

Hi people, Have just rifled through my old magazines from about 10-15 years ago, and couldn't find a specific car I was looking for. Wondering if I could put all your memories to the test to see what we could come up with. Sketchy details......Corrado VR6 turbo(lots of work, had a lot of power from memory) owned by a german or dutch guy??(haha told you sketchy) Color I think it was the dark metallic blue(could have been the dark purple also memory failing..). Had a tan leather interior IIRC. Wheels similar to or may have been 3 piece Porsche Turbo twists with gold outer bolts. Anyway if anyone remembers the car or the article and has it I'd like to hear about it. Cheers.

Could be a goer, but could be difficult/exy to ship to me in Aus(tralia) ??

we are talking about the carpet and not the mats right? I know that VW dealers in aus charge like wounded bulls.

thanks dragon, I am being tempted by the chrome ones.....but so many people seem to buy them and then sell them second hand shortly after??? Acquired taste?

if you mean the black and chrome ones, then yes? Are there other styles?

Hello all, Am looking to buy a new carpet set for my rado. Willing to spend the money. Have done a search, and can't seem to find much info on new carpet kits, other than an old thread that may not be able to help me. Any suggestions?

Do normal crystal headlights not exist for corrados? Almost tempted to take some standard headlights and replacing the glass with a non frosted piece somehow haha.

Hey Guys, Am just wondering if anyone knows of any plain old regular bulb style crystal headlights for corrados? No LEDs or HIDs....Just like standard headlights only clearer

Hello All, So I was able to get my hands on some newer style corrado vents, I read on here that they're interchangable.... Clearly they're not haha the center vents are completely different size. silly me. Anyway I do have a question, my old vents are in ok condition but the sideways adjusters are all broken, can they be replaced or remade?

thanks Dave.

Hello all. An after a set of 4 heater vents from a late car. I'm guessing they only come in black? Good working order all that. Cheers.

As a follow up query. Would a passat VR6 be a slightly better donor than a golf VR? Roughly the same value here though the passats are rarer.

thanks guys, good advice and good guess with Australia too ;)

Hi all, Have a 92 G60. Really want a VR6 but they're non existent in Aus..... Willing to do a conversion, but seeing as there's no corrado VR6's as donor cars here I could.... A. Spend a lot to import a whole car or a whole bunch of parts from a Corrado VR6 to do the conversion. (not legal to simply import and register a VR6, it needs to be as a "race car only", or literally cut in half) B. Buy a Golf 3 VR6(relatively cheap and importantly available), use that for conversion...yes I know it'd only be a 2.8 but could always upgrade that later. At least I'd have similar hubs/driveshafts/suspension arms as a VR6 Corrado. C. Buy a Bora Sport 24v.....more expensive....use that for conversion (probably doesn't have the same VR6 intake roar I want). D. Other? cheers. Share your thoughts and oppinions. Read to the bottom please, have a follow up query regarding VR6 passat bits. :)

Ok so I've been thinking of upgrading all the lights on my corrado. Inpros or the Sonar ones for the headlights look similarly good IMO BUT.... ...I don't like the way the black looks and the chrome ones look too bling! So my brainstorm idea was to crack them open 350degree style and then paint the chrome section of the housing in a matte silver for a semi OEM look. Thoughts? Stupid idea, ok idea? I'd also want to do this with the fogs and indicators too as I like things being consistent.

Thanks for the input. Keep them Coming!!! At this price it'd be hard to refuse. I'm willing to go through a bit of difficulty to get the haldex to work. I'd try to change as much over as possible. Electronics wise.

Here's the story so far. Just bought a corrado G60 Love the shape. Hate the sick(literally) engine. A T-boned but drivable Bora V6 4motion has come up for sale here in aus at a super cheap price. Here the engine alone would almost be worth what they're asking. Is it worth buying to do a fully V6 4motion rado? Even if I bought it to part out I'd make a profit. I would love haldex 4motion. Even if I changed the 24v for a worked VR6(for the sound)or R32/R36. Should I? Worth it? Not worth it? Any and all opinions welcome.

Hello All, Recently purchased a 92 G60 rado. Has the power bulge bonnet but early bumpers and interior. Have been thinking I'd like to upgrade the dash to later model style. Hence the question... Would/could mk3 climatronic be made to work in a corrado?

Hello all. Windscreen needs replacing in my rado. But for parts from Germany to Australia it's a 3 week wait. And expensive! Anyway the question is will any of the border seals need replacing at the same time? I'm told there are 4 and this car has a pretty bad air leak coming from the passenger side. Do these seals regularly need replacing when replacing the windscreen or can they be reused? The only one that is visible is the top one which looks fine.

Thanks that's a good suggestion. Any more? What sort of power is ok in fwd until you "need" 4wd? I do have a lot of fwd experience. But nothing with more than 200 bhp. Ps. Am selling my R32 to fund the corrado project.

Hi people. Am picking up my first corrado this weekend. It's a 92' G60 I would have liked a VR6 but here in Australia you have to take what you can get, as there are only about 8 corrados in the whole country. Anyway I've been thinking about attempting a conversion to complete VR6 running gear. I do love the sound of the VR but am a little worried it might spoil the handling. Would like to hear as many opinions as possible on what would be your choice and most importantly why. Including the drivetrain. Handling benefits or drawbacks and engine tunability. Some options: Std G60 16v G60 VR6 VR6T 1.8 20v t R32 2.0 TFsi Other? Drivetrain options: 02A 02A + quaife Mk4 haldex style 4wd Other? And to make it clear, just going out and purchasing a VR6 is not an option here. But importing a VR6 to use as parts is. I look forward to reading some feedback and suggestions. Cheers

Hello all just wondering if the size and former mentioned in the title would work ok on a VR6 rado? I'm told the factory rims are et43? Any advice would be great. I'd fit moderate sized tires if I had theses rims 205/40 or so and would like to know if I'd have rubbing issues when lowered. Cheers
