big ben

goes down though, i had a 1.8 16v 2 years ago (i was 26) and it was £250 fully comp. It was classic car insurance found by adrian flux. Worth ringing them, and get limited mileage added etc also if its a weekend car

best car you can buy LOL

I might be able to come along and stick the motor on the rollers. Will let you know

Kahoooo!

you still dreaming about a TFSI conversion Kev LOL

sounds like things are moving along nicely!

just realised my horn isnt working yesterday, so seeing this post is perfect timing. I will let you know what i find

i want!

VRT crew! Awesome vid, i had a very nice race with a RS4 couple years ago, he had 2 passengers though which give me the edge, but mine is the lowest bhp VRT in the land i think :lol:

Wow, yeah they don't come up for sale very often, and at that price!!!!

very nice

woop! Its always a worrying time haha, I'm sure mine will cost me double what I think it will come the end of the month :lol:

yeah i would be contacting a clifford supplier/fitter. Or more likely ripping it all out and getting trim wizard fitting a cobra one lol

Classic green pearl effect. Looked just like dragon green like my old one in that pic. Nice colour if you could see it haha

Does look completely different there haha. Does it look really green in some lights and black in others. Can't beat driving a corrado in my bias opinion

That's dragon green pearl effect. Bet it feels good being in it again

You have never been in a VRT, we can tell haha. Nothing quite like it, hard to describe. And anyone can buy a M3, its running them which is expensive. Where as the rado is cheap to run, its just fuel tokens that are needed

disagree with that post as any serious car you want to look after is a money pit... Running a E46 M3 for example, would cost more than a VRT in running costs i am sure, and would be NO where near as fun ;) As i say, try a VRT out, and if you don't go silly with the boost (mine is only 0.7bar), it will have no problems if done right. The VR6 lump is perfect for forced induction

Ok, i hear you. You sound like me VRT lives up to it and more. Power delivery is instant pretty much, pulls ALL the way to clock it at 160. RS4, E46 M3, CLS55 AMG are a few that have failed in their attempts against me, i have never lost a race as of yet. Racing Civic TypeR's and Imprezas is the best though, smash them to bits and they always get pretty angry. The scream mine makes when on boost is more of an aeroplane, you wont of heard a car like it, but when cruising its real sleeper and quiet. It feels completely stock as well, so no downsides at all, apart from i don't use mine enough, but plenty of people have used them daily with no problems (myself included for a while) I recommend getting someone to take you out in theirs, but be warned, you will be hooked

yeah sounds like your best option to me, and yeah i am back, the rado will be out soon tearing the streets up, poor thing had mould on and all sorts :lol: this video is why i say twin turbo, makes me want one! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6kK8TqK0IVQ

The mpg normal driving is 25mpg, so not that bad, but you dont slap a turbo on there not to use it haha. Otherwise its a waste of kit. But when having all that kit, you don't do small trips ever. The thought of using it for a normal journey doesn't even cross your mind. I am sure it would be the same with a rotrex, they need real care and attention and warming up, something a normal VR lump doesnt. See how long it takes the VR to warm up to 98degC, sometimes takes me 15+ minutes or longer with normal driving (missed out on so many races lol) Where as 70degC is a few mins and you can open her up and listen to that nice V6 sound, which i have also lost, which is a negative for me. So there is positives and negatives to both. It is worth thinking about, your rado is lovely, and i would love to drive it and be seen in it daily, instead mine sits there whilst i drive my company car, until warm/dry weather (as without racelogic TC there is no point in taking it out at all, so that narrows it down to about 20 days a year lol) ---------- Post added at 3:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 2:56 PM ---------- and one last thing, if you still park it up and look back at it each time, you cant sell it as you will regret it big time, there is no other car that can do that to you

thanks. And yeah, i was actually after some stock wheels and this group buy started, they make my car complete to me. Couldnt live without them now lol

All cleaned up. Few bits to do, drivers window/mirror stopped working for a start, doh! All booked into the Phirm on the 30th for some TLC, another month and i will be back in it :D

twin turbo kev! nice car mate
