have a look at this Video Coxy Its an S3(presumably chipped) and a mk5 r32 DSG http://videos.streetfire.net/hottestvideos/1/7a41febb-696c-414d-9566-980d0044431e.htm The DSG in the R32 seems quite slow in changing gears, but it could be just me

you will need to offset them like the 312mm brake thread they will fit behind most 17's

I thought it was probably time i put up some info on aqua blue 16v corrado Well here it is, I bought it off aposgil's mate as a 2L 16v 1993 corrado Nice aqua blue in colour with winter pack and leather The last owner has an incident which resulted in a smashed front end(see pics) here is as i bought it looks worse than it was, it needed the innner wing pulledstraight, new wing bonnet and slam panel, all of which i had at home :lol: the repaired car now, after a little work. I couldnt get the winter pack washers from anybody, and didnt get a chance to go near vw, so i must do that now so there it was fixed up and great, nice interior and all that It was a lovely 16v engine, ran very sweetly with a powerflow exhaust and a k&n, all the right little bits for a 16v then on a track day it was running really well, nice bit of power, but it was as if the timing had gone a little, it was fine, well so i thought unbtil about 2 miles form my house i lost all drive, the crank pulley had come off....so then i started thinking about more power... I bought a new 16v engine and fitted it but it was not as nice, so started thinking more power. This place will make you do that so then i got one of these engines and one of these cars a polish registered syncro golf, this had a kink in the a pillar, so it was just nasty, so a plan hatched :lol: So now a few months down the road and after enlisting the help of a friend who is a professional welder i have a stripped corrado with some mods :twisted: :lol:

993 rs is the one for me, once i eventually save enough money :lol:
