what are you painting then?

aparently you can take about a second off that time with a schrick installed so i read somewhere :?:

30-70 THROUGH GEARS....... you wont get 70 in 2nd you have to change

nah dont delete the questions....the thread wont really make sense then i think its actually 6.5 or there abouts...never 7.2 :roll:

yuk, its like a corrado snuff movie....should be outlawed!

also like this quote from the 'our verdict' section of that twin test in 1992 can the same be said about a CLK??

from autocar sept 94 regarding the corrado vr6 max power: 190bhp @ 5800rpm max torque: 181 lb ft @ 4200rpm Power to weight: 153bhp per tonne Weight: 1240kg Performance Max speed / rpm top gear: 145 / 6200rpm 4th: 132 / 6900rpm 3rd: 93 / 6900rpm 2nd: 64 / 6900rpm 1st: 36 / 6900rpm Acceleration from rest (sec) 0-30: 2.6 0-40: 3.7 0-50: 4.9 0-60: 6.4 0-70: 8.3 0-80: 10.4 0-90: 13.7 0-100: 17.7 Quarter Mile: 15.1@ 93mph 30-70 through gears: 5.7 8) hope that helps

straight line?

ahh you got a vr6 then.. do tell more about it and some pics?? erm i think th merc will win in a straight line to be honest but round the corners yours will catch up hopefully...depends on how good a driver you are :lol:

well i went to look at one before buying my vr6.....could have been a one off or a respray i guess???? never really thought about it since...just thought it was one of the colours

tyres do play a big part....i drove my friends vr on 17"s with yoko tyres and it wasnt too bad to be honest

perfect for track days or the people that want to preserve the look of a car...cant see the point on an every day car though??? they want to keep it looking nice.........but it looks sh1te with a car bra on so whats the point?? they may aswell drive a pink metro .... ppl will think there just as wierd

putting bigger wheel on in itself doesnt improve anything....its the lower profile tyres that would give the improved feel as there would be less sidewall flex... but it may mean a harder ride and if there big heavy wheels would mean slowness and heavy cornering.... best looking for some lightweight 16" to be honest oh just stick to the standards

where abouts.... i think i am the only green vr in cambs.. a couple of blue ones and an indian red one and a black one that i know of...oh and a green storm that i often see...so i guess that makes 2!! where were you getting the miltek done? im going all the way to JMR to get mine (wish had looked on a map before ordering :mad: )

use stiffer rubber mounts??? im having a miltek fitted soon...hope i dont get similar probs!

but on 7 inch wide you wouldnt want 43 would you?! youd want 35. max 38 is to avoid catching the shock / spring

pcd for a vr6 is always 5x100 as for the offset you want something around et35 ish

its all installed back in my car and it was a real pig of a job to get it out.... if and when i do it again in the future i'll post the P/N up for you. sorry i cant help any more than that if you find anything else out though let me know. cheers (i presume your after the aircon version??)

no, i havent done anything else about it im affraid. i heard the new fan was over £100 so it slipped down the priority list

i'll give it another go some time....i was looking for my alarm control box (which still i cant find!!! so mayby its behind the glove box after all!)

how'd you manage to get the glove box out? i had a hell of a job and gave up after 30 mins of scraping my knuckles and swearing alot!!!

you mean the 500 SL...the 600 SL is an amg custom built engine!!!

my koni's are the same but the other way round....cant get the rear to sit low enough :mad: i'll be switching to H&R's soon aswell

gotta be a first...your normally a high quality product only kinda man. :wink:

hmm...i need to fit under 15" still :(
