No matey, previous owner fitted a schrick first then swapped that out for a supercharger which it still had bolted on when I a bought it. VR6 on here used to own it for near a decade and had a thread back in the day

Think it’s a 5” aluminium maf housing with definitely a K & N filter attached

Correct hence the carbon bonnet to do away with that.

Cheers Ben

Finally the guy I wanted to do the full glass out respray said he could fit it in, YES!!! Stripped and off for a respray, hopefully it will be all the same shade of aqua blue when it comes back

Not telling you how to suck eggs, but have you made sure the bolts that hold the bumper on are still tight, as they hold the front mount bracket in position as well as other things

Have you still got this Micky

Nice one Matt, when you said you couldn’t connect to the Ecu and mentioned water getting under the scuttle I feared the worst for you as well as electrical problems being notorious to pin down. Good to here it’s fixed after a few checks and your first shot at it.

Worryingly my computer will not connect to the engine module. I have a swg scuttle installed so need to get it off to get at the ECU to see if its corroded etc. I’d be under there first. I don’t think I could sleep until I’d checked out the Ecu

Normally £100 - £150.

So Kato why are you calling me Sean 😂😂

I will add though, hello and welcome & The front slam panel, bit with the headlights in, Is unique to model though because of radiator size and fan/fans. It does have only two holes for radiator brackets to suit the model

Speaking for the later ones If you’ve ever had different model ones and compared them they are all pretty much the same, the VR6 one just has a little bracket welded on. I just got a later one and welded my old ones extra bracket on. Moving on to the earlier models I’m betting if you get any early one you will be able to make it work for the G60 as they are pressed with a variety of holes not just 2 specific to your model

I would go with 205 x 45. If the tyre just catches the lips 195 might help but the ride will be harder

Agreed 205 would be a good fit on a 7” wheel. et 25 will be further out than standard, but you say your arches are rolled so you should be ok, I don’t think spacers will be required, if anything more rolling.

Welcome, get some pics up of your new money pit

It’s a complete pig to fit it as well. Getting it to go around the corners is a job for super thumbs

Well done that man. Vince says that signal from maf isn’t used until the engine gets to around 75-80 degrees. It’s using cold start map. So if it’s playing up and makes no difference unplugging the maf at that temp, I’d try a new one too.

I’m tipping he had OE Corrado one knocking around in one of numerous full box’s of new parts. 😂

I think it would be cheaper to get the wheels machined to 57.1. My wheels came from rimstyle and they sorted the machine work and spacers. The wheels and spacers were machined so the centre bore spacer fits the Corrado disc boss as I think they had a bigger bore Than 57.1

Not far off now. I bet you can almost smell the fumes

It’s had at least 3 owners since I let it go. It’s interesting to note that none have kept it longer than 12 months or there abouts. I and the last owners have sold it for what it was worth. It’s not the finished show winner that 12k would buy you. It’ wasn’t also a under sold £7.5 .8k bargain. I had 2 Corrado’s for 8 years, one had to go. You yourself mentioned the other day about running 2 classics, it can get a bit much. Space, time and money being the usual factors. I also thought that I’d sold it on in a lot better condition than I bought it, which is reflected in the fact that I sold for twice as much as I bought it for.

Best Value £1300 spent on the car 👍

I believe that to be my old car M50 OTH. Never had the chains done or any other engine work while I had it. sold it to a guy who said he was going to finish it off and cherish it. 😂 sold it 2 or 3 years ago for £7.5.

If the car is also black then yes, the early vr6 was like that, it also probably has a distributor instead of a coil pack.
