i should of said welcome along, and that is a very nice valver as well by the way :)
-
im afriad you are missing out not having a VR6, it sounds harsh but its the truth... Oh, and the headlight switches break a lot!!!
-
cant believe petrol prices :sad: wouldnt be so bad if every country was paying out their arse, but most seem to have dirt cheap fuel, piss take
-

1 Favourite thread Easily the Comp Group buy thread you started Gareth, i love my wheels and wouldnt have them without it :luvlove: 2 Best show Bug Jam, love that show 3 Favourite forum Corrado of 2010 Cheesewires VRT, makes mine look a little under engineered. But i still love mine so its a close second if thats allowed :lol: 4 Best supplier (garage, services or parts etc) The Phirm, Tim did an amazing job sorting my engine and bay out, and chraged me so little, top bloke who knows his stuff
-
its just a car and a engine, cant be that bad :lol:
-
mine is running 100% though :lol: i dont want to get rid, just in love with that damn lotus
-
not after british, just love these Lotus Espirits :D
-
i dont think a corrado is a money pit though... i think they are cheap and easy to work on your self, but i would imagine these can get quite tasty :lol: thing is, they are only going to get more expensive to buy and run, so what do you do? go for it or bottle it and never own one your whole life :confused4:
-
^^ you are right, the engine looks a right pain! As much as i love TVR's, they dont float my boat as much as that Lotus. The Lotus is classed as a supercar rather than a sport car to :lol: I would have a TVR sagaris or T350 though for sure
-
Where they really that quick? I seem to remember some write ups from that era suggesting they weren't as quick as the specs suggested! god knows... i cant even remember when i last see one :lol: i suppose there is only 1 way to find out :D i wouldnt mind if it was slightly slower than the VRT
-
this would be perfect, but be nicer if it was 3k cheaper :( http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2235988.htm

good idea... i think the S4S is the best one for me, but too much money for me. 300 bhp and 290 ft-lbs of torque, Top speed 168 mph, 0-60 mph 4.6 seconds (sounds good to me!)
-
im 6ft, is that tall :lol: a late 4 cylinder turbo does look the one to get, a decent one is looking at about 15k though
-
it is very tempting...
-
I have a problem. I really need one of these in my life, i would even chop in the VRT for one if i had the extra cash needed to fund it... Anyone had one, know anyone with/had one? anybody know anything about them?? i would imagine the part prices would be un thinkable? Its just when i get this feeling its not good, it wont go away until i actually own one, so i think i need to be told how rubbish and expensive they are to put me off saving for 2 years :lol: (i like the S4 i think, one below...) climatronic wiring-Golf from May 01.pdflotus1.jpg[/attachment:4fuvgbde] 2.8l 24v Climatronic system.pdflotus2.jpg[/attachment:4fuvgbde] lotus3.jpg[/attachment:4fuvgbde] they do come with a V8, but i think i would need 15k plus to get one, but it would be so nice :grin: i bet they go well

-
Lepsons are suppose to be the best in the business.. And the gold wheels will look much better than the photoshop pic bud, look forward to seeing the real thing
-
Ben Humphreys 12 wells court Nice one :salute:
-
Interesting, I might look out for some of them, assuming they are cheaper! be interested in how much they are from seat
-
i have 2 broken tabs on mine as well.. happened little while back when i pulled it all out to do the matrix. Just waiting for some better weather and will attempt a strong DIY fix, not sure the best way to do it yet though
-
buy a set of cams and get them fitted for free, that would work out for most people :D
-
seems OTT to me but fair play, wont hurt will it... the project is coming along nicely
-
How about a full model/colour poll [Attention Corrado Nerds]
big ben replied to v8rumbler's topic in General Car Chat
you can take the storm colours out as they are everywhere and boring :camp: :lol: also the campaign, we know how many are made and how many are around so we dont need that up... red pearl and bordeaux can be paired...
