  1. yeah thats your best bet, hope you get it sorted!!
  2. oh no, gutted for ya.. cant help, apart from my mate reckons you can run them until you loose boost, then get them serviced?? so cant you just get it serviced/reconditioned??
  3. when i get them out i will take some pics for you so you can see exactly how they are made up
  4. they have custom made subframes, i have had a quick look as they are still in the car and there is a label on them so will let you know any info i can find out, but looks a very professional job to me
  5. i bet it is, my tracking needs doing so quite a bit of vibration going on, and my mirror vibrates a gooden, so looking in thats just a blur :lol: what figures is yours running at mate??
  6. they sure do, feels like nothing can keep up any more :lol: cant imagine what 350-400bhp feels like :cuckoo: never thought i would get to drive a VRT, let alone own 1!!! glad to be part of the elite group :salute:
  7. they are nice, Marcus has done a very good job, just needs some TLC and just carry on from where he left off, its gone to a good home :grin:
  8. yeah it obviously had 3 door speakers which i really didnt like, leather parcel shelf which is way too bling and the switchs were on the wrong doors. So putting in my interior from the old VR, i do like the R32 seats they are comfy but it had to be sold as a full package unfortunately, would of liked to retrim them black but oh well.
  9. im over the moon mate, will have to meet up some time and show you what its all about, im sure i will let you have a go if your nice to me :wink: yeah interior is sold already, pretty much out as we speak, a pic of me going back to black this wkend; 8.JPG[/attachment:rgzgqv7p]
  10. well its completly different, MUCH faster, and still dead smooth in traffic etc, just perfect... sounds completly different, but in a good way. If we are ever at a meet i will let you have a drive and you can see for yourself :wink: and i suppose it looks really far back, but i havent noticed at all, feels normal believe it or not :lol:
  11. yeah R32 seats, but the interior is left hand drive, has seen better days to so i am converting it all to black standard leather... i know what you all thinking, that im crazy :lol: gear nob is a chrome one with a VR6 badge on the top?? never seen one before so god knows where from...
  12. the day i picked it up, i had spat a scooby out of the exhaust pipe in 5 mins, and then had it at surrey rolling road in 30 mins, with some of you other forum chaps, and had it on a dyno where it got 294bhp... so have booked in to be checked over with dave and graham, as even though it was hot it may of lost a few ponys somewhere... pics; corrados passat climatronic wiring diags.pdf6.JPG[/attachment:1r8yb4qz] nice ass climatronic wiring-Golf from May 01.pdf5.JPG[/attachment:1r8yb4qz] all hooked up 2.8l 24v Climatronic system.pdf4.JPG[/attachment:1r8yb4qz] lower that was expected but enough for me at the min thats for sure!! 3.JPG[/attachment:1r8yb4qz]
  13. :wave: as many of you regulars know i have been and brought Marcus' VRT recently (thanks mate!!). Thought i would start this thread now as i have loads of plans for it, not going OTT though... im loving the way it drives :D and i think the ride height is perfect, slightly rubs the splitter on speed humps and i can easily have someone in the back. I have been swapping the interior over, put a standard grill on for now, sorting the sound system out, got some window shields and a bra (only using on long journeys dont wory)... loads more work going on in the next few weeks/months... anyway, pics; how it looks at the minute Corrado92.pdf1 [1024x768].JPG[/attachment:25qxyiw4] rear end passat climatronic wiring diags.pdf7.JPG[/attachment:25qxyiw4] the VRT and lloydys G60 2.8l 24v Climatronic system.pdf2 [1024x768].JPG[/attachment:25qxyiw4] interior climatronic wiring-Golf from May 01.pdf9.JPG[/attachment:25qxyiw4] more interior 10.JPG[/attachment:25qxyiw4]
  14. i would imagine no one would buy them, a better idea is lets just no sell them or break them in the first place :wink:
  15. i would say going rate is £25 for a 2nd hand one, wouldnt buy a new one, you will have to spray it whatever...
  16. i would pay 9k for a twin turbo 500bhp+ corrado :D 8) :lol:
  17. have missed this thread, good read, good work, cant believe you would rather spend your time on a golf than a corrado aiming to be the ultimate machine :camp: :lol:
  18. its in a members gallery, click on the name and then his most posted, basically a brand spacking G60, nice... 8)
  19. sounds like your selling for more power to me, dont blame ya :lol: :D
  20. how much does one of these bad boys cost then??
  21. im not being tight, but most of the VW things i think are a fair price for the age of the car, but exterior parts they seem to like to charge you a fortune for
  22. agree its our fault, but theres no point in buying second hand roof strips because they are all bad, people just leave them because £112 for a bit of rubber is ridculous :cuckoo: they want £73 for a new aerial base and seal :bad-words: i cant justify that, so im trying to find a second hand one. But i try and buy most things from them, but prices for some stuff are plain stupid, if it was a bit cheaper they would get a lot more business but oh well...
  23. always worth checking with them 1st, are they being delivered to your house??
