I just haven't seen one on so long I want to marvel in its beauty ;). If its in good nick (which I'm sure it is) I will take it at asking price. Also quick question your running obd2 are you not?? I may be wrong I'm just sure I saw something before about you having obd2.

Wow that's odd I wouldn't have thought that from led's as they are usually draw very low power. I hate reading story's like this though they make me worry about everything after seeing my old car go up in flames on a friends driveway :(.

Electric window/ central locking ECU module
sharpy-vr6 replied to manop001's topic in Parts for Sale
Does this control the total closure? From what I can work out corrados have various different alarm manufacturers? And my total closure doesn't run long enough, so the windows don't shut fully just a little. Would this module sort that? -
Haha I'll probably make it Sunday afternoon/evening so you and me both can recover from Saturday night. I'll pm quick

Looks good if your around this weekend I may make a trip out of it. It's been a while since I've been to Georgie porgies in pool so I can get a nice meal after aswell :) top notch haha

DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS IS?? I could do with a new one

Pm'd mate :) -
Ahhh wicked. I've never heard of the toledo's what's the fit like because I've heard there's a difference between the passat b3's and b2's?? If you have some pictures I'll probably be interested mate.

Is that moonroof or handles??
-
I have been trying to keep an eye out recently for one of these, but I have given up as they seem to come up rarely. If anyone has a good condition and working one for sale let me know

sharpy-vr6 replied to ww-promo's topic in Wanted
I happen to have one lieing around at home in good nick that I was going to use to replace my wrecked one aswell. But as I'm super charging I will probably be using a catch tank. I'm sure if you twist my arm and bitter me up with a little bit of cash I could send you it :). [ATTACH]71982[/ATTACH] -
ive found you the perfect car. its a little over budget, but the guy is very lazy and probably wont put up much a fight when haggling. [ATTACH=CONFIG]71970[/ATTACH]

New here - buying a rado, 2.0 or vr6? mpg diff question.
sharpy-vr6 replied to Smiithy's topic in Newbies Hangout
I don't really check to often tbh, but doing the maths in my head it should be around 90 miles from £20 at today's prices. I've heard other people's vr's produce better economy, mines a little tired and I always leave it to idle for a while before driving to warm up so that's just throwing fuel away. Hope that helps mate -

I can't offer a lot of advice I'm sure many people have owned all types of corrados here. But my vr6 averages about 24mpg that's a mix of short, long and "spirited" drives. As for reliability they are both vw my engine has 186k on the clock and still runs perfect. -
i will be having a long look through that thread i do need to get everything together in my head about what i want and how best to achieve it first as at the moment its early days. all i know at the moment is ide rather supercharge then turbo just due to the delivery of power and i want something a bit easier to handle. and that i will be rebuilding the engine so im starting from a fresh i will use a 2.8 lump bored to a 2.9 for fresh walls and as close a s anew engine as possible. im fairly sure i have all my styling ideas up together (other then wheels which i change my mind on every 2 seconds) other then those ultra rare zender phase 2 turbos that where sale a while ago i would have those wheels any day over anything. thank you all for your help though, its appreciated

cams are a plan, but im not sure on what are best for forced induction are 263's the best??
-
cheers guys this is kind of the response i was looking for and expecting. especially from you 4dust as i was thinking about the internal valves and how they would be working as im going for a 10 Psi kit and i was questioning its effect on the manifold as from my understanding it works by monitoring the air flow through internal valves to make the the vr run more like a true v6 engine, for more low down torque. im glad to hear about the rotrex although i havent heard anything bad about the vortechs i have heard alot of people with v9s who say they are great kits?? i will probably be looking at some form of cooling but all those parts i will have to source. as i plan to build it up myself with a little help from a mech mate i have and the kit storm sells only includes charger, belt, brackets and bearings. although from what i have read up so far a bonus with the rotrex is that it is mounted at the front of the engine so gets a fair bit of air cooling but atm its early days into my research and plans.

Alright guys I haven't been active on here for a while now. the reason for this being I have taken my baby of the road after the radiator went and now its off the road I am going to start getting it up together and I have a few ideas for what I want done. one of the main things I am planning on doing is supercharging the engine, I have seen the rotrex kit for sale from storm developments and it seems good. and any information people can give me on the kit and the way to get the best out of it would be nice?? but another thought I have had is about the well known and well praised schrick manifold :notworthy: what I was wondering is can you put a supercharger on one of these manifolds?? and would it give any noteworthy performance gains over a standard manifold on a supercharger? cheers for the help i really want to get this project up together and will probably be needing a little help throughout as its my first bigish project I have ever attempted

I brought my vr6 at 19 and im now 20. I tried buying a valver at 17 but insurance stung me big time.

Early Headlight glass,' De-locked handle'
sharpy-vr6 replied to larceny fink's topic in Parts for Sale
You dont happen to have a passenger side handle aswell?? Or fingers crossed its a lhd handle ;) Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk 2 -
Those look pretty good actually not to in your face do you know where you can buy them from. P.s i understand aftermarket skirts and body styling are a bit marmite, but i want something as oem as possible, so i dont have to travel the world with vin diesel, high jacking lorrys and racing for pinks
-
I agree the ones on the black look good very oem, but i don't think they bring the sides low enough
