lowvr 0 Posted June 7, 2010 just read your entire build thread - your rado was amazing mate just as i got to the end i couldn't help but think "snap!" lol....as we've have quite a similar fleet of engines: - i dont have a rado but i have a mk3 vr6 which has been owned by the family for the past 11+ years. It has similar bodywork spec to your car and tan nappa leather all over the interior (dash headliner etc) - which is going going turbo this yr. It pretty much has all the chassis mods your rado has + a few more (down to the cnc metal bushing on the gearbox bellhousing and all the short shift mechanisms!) &... also the other car on the drive is a mk5 r32 dsg in the same blue lol just found that a bit freaky lol even though the rado is gone, i just have to take my hat off and say it was an amazing machine and i can totally relate to the graft and car you have given it.

StormchargedVR6 0 Posted June 9, 2010 It was amazing car, and its in good hands. Andy got some great plans for it, hope he keep this thread alive :) Need to get some pics of your mk3 up, be nice to see it. Can't beat VR with Turbo, best sound ever. Times move on and im over the moon with the R32 , theres so much grip and so smooth. Its simple things thats so nice like air-con , xenon headlights, etc that the corrado did'nt have. May be its just me getting older :? DBP is best colour :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OSV 0 Posted May 4, 2011 I saw it a couple of weeks ago and spoke with Andy, such a complete car and not one to miss a challenge, I understand he is planning a few changes in due course. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ti1103 0 Posted December 18, 2012 Car MOT and taxed earlier this year along with a full service. Such a hassle sorting out the UK first registration, as took four visits to the local DVLA (wont be able to pop in soon as all closing!). Only plus point was the import VAT & duty total of £88.00 (based on their calculation, not mine). Also eventually sorted out fitting some electric Recaro's and a quick release Momo sterring wheel (pics to follow). Fitted new front wheel arch liners, due to cut outs to accommodate previous CH's Little bit of preventative remedial paintwork done, where I think the previous BBS CH's had marginally touched the front wheel arch bottom edge. Not much else to report except to say the car is tucked up under cover away from any nasty road salt for the winter attached to a CTEK charger. Need to get set of BBS 301's refurbed, as not happy with wrong wheel bolts, surface finish or original paint on centers. Any good recommendations for the Midlands area?

Jim 1 Posted December 18, 2012 Good to know this car lives in the Midlands :) You'll have to make it out to our Midlands meet when the weather gets better? I used to know the guy who ran this place http://www.pureklas.co.uk/ - he was very well regarded amongst folks with show cars, who got their wheels refurbished by him so may be worth a punt? :) (based in Coventry) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

StormchargedVR6 0 Posted December 19, 2012 Its looking good Andy ,so happy its got a good home. Really like the seats. Think you need back to match. For me like the CHs best, but can't wait to see the 301s Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ruggy 10 Posted December 19, 2012 Couple of pics with the Recaro seats & Momo steering wheel. What car is the gear knob from? Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MarkFoster 0 Posted December 19, 2012 Looks awesome (as always) and the changes work really well. Agree that it would be nice to see it on some new rims though... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 1 Posted December 19, 2012 What car is the gear knob from? Thanks Looks like one of the illuminated Rieger gear knobs (and leather gaiters - came as a complete kit) which were available a few years ago.. not sure if they still are! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jon_vr6 1 Posted December 19, 2012 Did a bit of digging last week for these turns out they wernt made by rieger but supplied to them from here http://www.innovativcar-tech.de/index.php?cat=c62_Corrado.html My only gripe was that they dont do them in green but maybe they would if asked Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 1 Posted December 19, 2012 They certainly used to do them illuminated in green Jon.. :( Maybe a group buy quantity might persuade them? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ti1103 0 Posted December 19, 2012 (edited) Its looking good Andy ,so happy its got a good home. Really like the seats. Think you need back to match. For me like the CHs best, but can't wait to see the 301s OSV offered me a price I couldn't refuse. Besides those currently on, I still have left: BBS 301's (thanks Jim, will try your recommendation) ABT 17x7.5 (BBS if look closely) Porsche Cup 1's 17x7 (RS2's) Can't complain really I do have the matching rear seats, just too lazy to fit! Just managed to pick up a full air con system. Problem is that the fitter I trust is down Portsmouth way. Need to find someone closer. ---------- Post added at 11:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:11 PM ---------- What car is the gear knob from? Thanks Over to Shaun for where to source the 6 speed. Can't remember seeing the receipt. Its not illuminated!
