yeah thats your best bet, hope you get it sorted!!
-
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??
-
when i get them out i will take some pics for you so you can see exactly how they are made up
-
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
-
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??
-
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:
-
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:
-
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.
-
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]
-
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:
-
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...

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]

: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]

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:
-
be worth every penny by sounds of things
-
i would say going rate is £25 for a 2nd hand one, wouldnt buy a new one, you will have to spray it whatever...
-
i would pay 9k for a twin turbo 500bhp+ corrado :D 8) :lol:
-
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:
-
its in a members gallery, click on the name and then his most posted, basically a brand spacking G60, nice... 8)
-
sounds like your selling for more power to me, dont blame ya :lol: :D
-
how much does one of these bad boys cost then??
-
my fave so far :salute: :lol:
-
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
-
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...
-
always worth checking with them 1st, are they being delivered to your house??
