Reason for sale?

90mm Vr6 Splitter wanted in v good condition. Can pay for courier or collect in south east Thanks

I've seen a set of Brock b1s for sale. 17x8.5 ET35. Would these fit my rado (Lowered 40mm on springs/standard shocks) and no arch work. I already have tyres Falken 205/40/17's so they would be running stretch. Cheers

Had the car over at AmD Essex today and on the rollers. made 200.1 bhp :) Pretty good I think considering the few mods. Gaining horses rather than losing them [ATTACH=CONFIG]70592[/ATTACH]

Been busy with work so not had much time. Got a few pics today: Although I'm still learning about these cars, the spec I know of is as follows: 1993 Corrado VR6 Original Engine 2.9 110k (top end rebuild 2k ago with new head, timing chain etc) New bushes, brake pipes, suspension front/rear. Lots of stuff renewed. SS Exhaust system 17" alloys (replicas I believe not sure what they are) wrapped in Nankangs currently K&N Induction kit with SS heat guard 40mm lowering springs 2 strut braces on the front Front brake upgrade off a mk3 golf Pioneer Headunit with a JBL amp + 6x9s Momo Steering wheel Gauge pod with oil pressure / voltage Thatcham Immobiliser/Alarm Been using it daily for the past week. Coolant temperature has been a slight niggle, as it seems to settle at 80 when cruising and sometimes slightly below, however oil temp seems fine in the mid 90s+ Fuel wise seems to be delivering on average around 25-30mpg on general town / country road journeys. I think it might be running a little rich, going to inspect the plugs sometime next week. Also, the car has cut-out twice whilst driving in town at about 30. Complete engine cutout! battery light + oil light appears and power steering etc goes. On both occasion I was able to instantly depress clutch and restart. I've had it on vag com and I'm getting no codes, so abit confused. Thinking crankshaft related, or dodgy wiring. So far I've changed the blue and black stat sensors and flushed/replaced the coolant with G13. Oil/filter change with 10w40 quantum semi synth, Cleaned/Oiled K&N, cleaned leather up with Autoglym balm I have plans to redo the ICE, never been keen on 6x9s, all the sound coming from the back and abit 'showy' when I open the boot. I'll probably opt for a component system. Also undecided on the nankangs, no previous experience with them, but usually opt for a pricier tyre. I'm reserving my judgement on them for now, but may go down the yoko/toyo/conti route soon. Have a BMC CDA in the garage I used to have on my GTI, may try that out to see if there are any gains over the K&N. Car is getting RR'ded on 18th of November so looking forward to seeing how many horses shes lost (or gained :D) Jesse

Cheers for all your replies. I will post the spec and some proper pics at the weekend. Had a little free time so managed to replace the two sensors and fix the coolant temp gauge. old sensors: [ATTACH=CONFIG]69809[/ATTACH] Went on abit of a shopping spree today, thought I'd treat her to an oil change and clean up at the weekend. TPS were selling a 20L drum of 10w40 for 28 quid! Bargain! Also an aluminium sheet to go round the K&N filter to help reduce heat soak. Gonna flush the cooling system as it currently has some non vw coolant and I like the pink stuff ! [ATTACH=CONFIG]69811[/ATTACH] Was pretty impressed with the mpg the MAF was showing after a 15 minute journey home from work, country roads. [ATTACH=CONFIG]69810[/ATTACH] And to the person who asked what wheels they are. Previous owner said they were Porsche replicas, they have been freshly refurbed. I like them to be honest, but I might have them done in a lighter colour after the winter, I've never been a fan of dark coloured wheels. Jesse

Just purchased this VR6, seems to be a really nice example. Wondered if the previous owner had a build thread on here, anyone seen it before? Everything on the car, except for the coolant gauge is working, I'm replacing the yellow and blue thermostat sensors to see if that fixes it. Has had a top end rebuild and overhaul, inside is mint. Will post more pics and full spec later.
