omg, would love a go in that, 3 turbos is just greedy :lol: any other info on it?? yeah its good you do drive it daily, wish i had the bottle and money to do it, the only good thing about not driving it daily is the thrill of getting in it after driving a crappy golf all day :D
-
think mine is on its second screen and the rubber has come away at the top, all this has got me paranoid now :( is it easy to take the rubber surround off and have a look for rust?? where could i get a new rubber put on??
-

Land Rover 101 Ambulance: Back off and on ground Pg3
big ben replied to Jim Bowen's topic in Members Gallery
no messin!! love seeing what you guys are up to with this -
OBD2 is on my radar then :grin: cant believe you use yours as a daily :cuckoo: :lol: would cost me a fortune because i just want to go fast, and so does the car... maybe i could add another silencer, but i dont even know where the noise is coming from, sounds like air is being dumped left right and centre haha.

so do i now :nuts:

feels great owning a VRT, and yes VERY addictive!!!! :D already been thinking about bigger turbos and more boost :lol: not going to rush in though, just take it one step at a time.... 300bhp is enough to start me off, im just enjoying driving a corrado after having a few months off!!! i havent got vag.com, thinking of taking it to dave and graham soon so they can have a look over it for me. Needs the trakking doing to... and yeah the power definately suits it, cant believe it feels like it should have that power :lol: marcus was on about changing it over to OBD2 so i can get more out of it, this sound like the way forward?? edit: this one doesnt sound stealthy, has a 3inch exhaust with 1 silencer, and it is loud when you put your foot down
-
well i can officially post in here now after buying marcus' VRT on saturday morning :D it was on the dyno at surrey rolling road straight after,, and got 294bhp at 0.7 bar... so was a hot day, but going to get a diagnostic test sorted to make sure nothing is at a miss, any advice there be appreciated as the turbo thing is new to me. but anyway, it drives awesome!! the power/torque is insane compared to stock, and its handling is so much better than my old VR, plus them big brakes... talking about brakes, cant believe some forced induction guys are running smaller brakes than these, you be careful coz you definately need them!!!! the car still feels like a stock corrado though which i was impressed with, very smooth nice ride, and even in traffic was great to drive... the only thing that is really different is you loose the refined V6 sound, but who cares about that when it now sounds like it could take off any minute :lol:

mk4's in general arennt chavy, but mk4 r32's are a bit, in 10 odd years they will be the new nova sri :lol:
-
Where have you been for the last year !?! That's one of the main advantages of driving a pre 2001 car at the moment i dont think i could bring myself to pay that, especially with the condition of the roads... dont know where i have been?? sometimes its better not knowing :lol:
-
ah that sounds awesome, good work. the full beam goes miles but doesnt light up the floor around the car so feels a little unsafe, but with what your saying i bet it works very well!!
-
lotus - lots of trouble usually serious :lol: looks nice, bet its a fun drive!!

hes putting their engines and mechanincs in dispute as he stated in went to the ford garage 3 times!!!! and its very sad that people do things like that, but thats the internet for you, and if it was the forum then they must be desperate
-
do a search on upgraded head light wiring loom, everyone does it :D makes your headlight switch last longer to!! angel eyes are a lot better, but on full beam i found them useless, but they are a good headlight so you dont really need it. you can uprgade the loom for very little, and then as kev said clean the lights good and some new H4 bulbs, happy days
-

-
£400?? how come thats so much more than a rado then??
-

-
i sort of know what you mean about chavvy actually, i do like them but would choose a mk5 every time now
-
stop you lot, wish i had one as a daily :( i have a golf gti 8v mk3 :sleeping: they both look awesome, but a turbo would be the cherry on the icing on the cake :norty: :lol:
