yuk, i hate euro styling!!!! on the other hand g60 dans is a near perfect example of subtle but professional styling!!!! much more my cup of tea.......just a shame its got the wrong engine. for me, the best looking corrado i have ever seen is this one.
-
but thats a miltek kev....i have an idea.... you buy both, run them and tell us which one is best to get.... also that was on a 16v which doesnt produce as much boom as the vr6 anyway. after all this we'll probably find they are manufactured in the same factory and just have different badges put on them later in their life :lol:
-
worth a grand total of £2,000,000 in bits from vw ......or £800 down the scrappy for the pre built car :lol:

Have I set an official record ... for the most written-off ?

bugger me.... what a twat. hope you find him (and give him a good beating) shame to hear of the misfortune. trouble with corrados is the write off so easily due to the high price or repair parts.... what looks like a simple repair can cause the write off as the new part will bump the repair cost up to around 50% the value of the car. you gonna get another corrado then? -
not in red it wasnt....probably just with the solitude wheels and storm badge.. mine looks like a storm aswell....but it aint.. wouldnt mind seeing a dark red vr6 though.... like the sound of that.
-
i havent heard a miltek to be honest but my mates magnex is very subtle and quiet and looks great. its just how much quieter is it than the miltek?? be good to get both side by side to listen at various engine speeds.... oh and also if that £249 is the vr6 price....that makes it about £50 cheaper than the magnex.......which is nice :lol:
-
Dark RED VR6 storm????
-
£249 for the milteck.....well that makes it an attractive offer over the magnex...especially if you say the poor fit of the older units has now been corrected. how much for P&P to cambridge then? I presume this comes with a life time warrenty still? and does that warrenty cover the baffles being knocked out of place (and thus rattling when i close the poxey door :mad: :mad: ) cheers
-
i got a group buy price of £285 before. could probably get the same again but would need quite a few ppl. I've seen them for about £310 on the net normally
-
well if there is interest in the magnex i may look at re organising that group buy again. ppl lost interest last year as it was around xmas time... let me know if you want me to do it again
-
i have heard the build quality of the miltek is a bit dodgy some of the time...if you get a good one its the same as the magnex, but get a bad one and it wont fit very well and will knock all the time. personally im going for the magnex when i get some money together
-
sure thing.....where would i start looking for diavia dealers? i have never heard of them? thanks
-
ah, that explains it. i think it was a bosch unit if i remember correctly...i really didnt take any note of it though (dumb ass that i am) Diavia...they the aircon ppl then?
-
£45 from GSF, which is a genuine Valeo one but I don't know what fans the Aircon car use tbh. Yeah they can be a pain to remove, it's the retaining tab round the back that stumps most people. Once that's lifted up, it just twists out in seconds. £65 for all that is a good price, especially as the ABS pump is included! well its the valeo one i have sitting on my work top and thats the one that doesnt fit. i think it must be due to the aircon. i'll ring gsf and ecp tomorrow and enquire. oh and you've never heard the phase...'good work batman'???? seriously....i think you need to confess something though .....soandex on the brain eh kev? :roll: :wink:
-
well i got the fan, abs pump and heater dial surround for £65 from a guy breaking his corrado. £45 from vw?? there a right pig to get in and out!!!! dont want to get the wrong one again so i think getting it from vw would be best
-
good thinking batman....apart from i spent another 30mins just putting it back together :mad: :mad: not gonna start stripping it apart again now! i should have written it all down when it was apart. oh well, i'll keep my eyes peeled on ebay for an aircon version. anyone want a heater fan then??
-
the one i bought is like this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 76015&rd=1 but mine doesnt have thos connections. it just has a live and negative spade connector on the bottom of the motor
-
hi, i bought a replacement heater fan from ebay. it was from a vr6 corrado but its totaly different to the one i just spent 30 mins getting out of my car. its alot smaller and the connections are all different. my car has aircon...could this mean the fan is different to non air con vr6's?? cheers
-
oh and whats the timing chain runners like at 96k? any noise? thanks
-
hi, do you have any actual pics of the car. im interested purely cause buying your car with those mods would be cheaper than buying the parts and modding my car. is it lowered? what tyres does it have? any rust, bent pannels? when you actually thinking of selling? ta
