[mrbeige 0]

So, we know what you've done to your C, but what are your plans for this year?

 

Mine are as follows......

 

Finish replacing the interior with a black one (seats, shelf and dash)

Fit VR6 front calipers and MK4 Golf rear calipers

Fit some 9x16" Borbet A's or Keskin/Kerscher

Spring Caps on front

Fit my Sub

Tint rear lights

Refurb head with new stem seals, polishing and exhaust cam modified to inlet(in progress)

Fit my polished 50mm inlet manifold

Samco's

Stainless exhaust manifold (Miltek?)

Fix exhaust rattle - the most annoying thing in the world.....being sorted on Monday!

Respray to sort body deficiencies(bonnet, bumpers, wheel arches bottom of the doors)

 

Should get all this done this year, except maybe the alloys :(

 

Does this lot sound excessive?

firstly get the rear bumper replaced http://the-corrado.net/.archive/forum/viewtopic. ... highlight= both doors de-dented and re-sprayed, various engine bits powder coated new boot install with the ps2 built in

and whatever else decides to fall off/explode/catch fire/wear out/get stolen, delete as applicable

[K-rado 0]

Sort out that minor ding to the NSF wing/bonnet

Have a look at the secondary water pumt the VW say is seeping

2 new front wiper blades

2 new front tyres (dont ask, Has just eat another set of boots)

Replace bulb to odometer and rear screen heater bulb

new drivers side window, (has anybody got one? Pls old one is badly scratched)

 

and that is about it. She will then be near purrrfect. oh and tax.

Then she will be going out to grass after the VWCCG AGM with around 56.5k and near as mint as you will get for a 10yr old corrado VR6 Storm. :D

 

Oh and then, Find myself another one. prob a valver to do-up and have w/e fun :lol:

Hhhhm my corrado funds have been restricted for this coming year, due to moving house - and with a joint acc. I don't think I will get away with breaking the rules!!! So it will be a year of plotting and planning for next year. Although I may try a few sneaky splash outs on the C... funded by various ebay sales... will see. But I want to at least recat the car and maybe get rid of a few bodywork imperfections, apart from that just keep it on the road until next year's big spend!

My original plans for this year were, get cams fitted and remap, cars practically finished, spend money on track days.

 

What ive ended up with is, cams and remap done, 1 trackday leaving dead engine, plans for rest of year. Get car running again in one form or another. :roll:

Got quite big plans for me Rado this year...

 

Went to get a quote for some general tidying up (dents, rusty bits, etc.) from a bodyshop & it transpires that my car has had a not-too-great respray in the past. So now the car's getting a general tidy up and a full respray in the summer! :)

 

Engine-wise, I'm currently pricing up parts for a full engine rebuild. Its nearly done 130K, I seriously doubt the timing chains & tensioners have been done and I've got at least one humped valve stem oil seal. Thought I might as well go the whole hog!

 

My Dad's a mechanic, so we'll be doing all the work ourselves...wish me luck!

This yeah some good things are coming to the G60.

 

Starting this list with parts that are ordered and on their way:

• Blue tinted spherical side mirrors

• Rear European plate holder to replace the US plate holder

• Hood lifts

• 3 slat badge less grill with built in eyebrow

• New aluminum door pins to replace the cheap plastic ones

• Door handle repair kit – to replace the stock parts and make them last longer

 

Now for the things I am saving up for:

• I need to source down my oil leaking issue and depending on how that goes and 2.0L bottom end might be in the works.

• Custom made full cage to keep me nice and safe =] (I am going to have my friend who made this one for his volvo do mine - click the links below to check them out)

• Lysholm supercharger kit

• FMIC

• Paint re-spray – removal of dents, possible install of Audi door handles, shaving side moldings, shaving rear badge, antenna removed, possible filling or removal of the weather striping on the top of the car - a long time family friend is opening a body shop, so I am getting a huge hook up.

I'd like to say "install a TDi engine"...but there's little chance of that happening. If it passes its next MOT in August I'll refrain from taking a hammer to it.

[kebabman 0]

Hmm everything engine related for he VR is out of my price range.....so I think a set of Yoko 059 cut-slicks for my spare speedlines, and save the rest for trackdays....oh and the repairs that inevitably follow :lol:
