NickVR6 0 Posted August 23, 2005 Dinkus, as i've said before, those dodgey 16s you got from Kev s.ck big time they need to go. If that happens let me know! Would i be right in thinking a 97 R reg vento vr6 has 288s on like the highline? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bcstudent 0 Posted August 24, 2005 If I'm being honest I have to say I really like those wheels. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted August 24, 2005 Yep, me too, they look like more modern speedlines! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scruffythefirst 0 Posted August 24, 2005 If I'm being honest I have to say I really like those wheels. They look good, but they arent any good if he can't stop, and he really needs to be able to stop as he can't drive Dinkus, did you get a chance to look at that audi on the way to work this morning?

dinkus 10 Posted August 24, 2005 Heh heh, first - I did resize the pics to match jedi, I'm not an eejit ;) I made the 280's on mine 280pix across and the 312s on yours 312pix across. The problem is, the resolution on the pics isn't too great and dependin exactly on where you line the centres of the wheels up means that it's hard to tell exactly. Either way, it'll be very close. Nick, yeah right, keep dreaming... I like these wheels too much ;) At the moment it's looking like I might go for 288s, because I'm not 100% about the 312s fitting and they're going to cost an extra £100 or so. And Scruff, nope, sorry had to go get a train. I was gonn take a look now, but it's wazzing down so screw that :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RS VR6 0 Posted August 25, 2005 I'm sure not if this was covered, but here are the parts you need: All you need for a VR6 corrado is... TT rotors, TT carriers, mk3 288mm VR6 calipers, and spacers for the carrier->spindle bolts. I think the spacers are either 6mm or 8mm, can't remember. I also used the brake line and fitting off a mk4. Also requires 16" or larger wheels. Here is an old picture on my 16in Oettingers. The calipers have since been repainted. Another pic. Hope this helps. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dinkus 10 Posted August 25, 2005 Yup, thanks RS VR6 :) I'm pretty sure I know which parts I need, but it's now a matter of seeing if they'll fit under my 16s or not :? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dinkus 10 Posted August 26, 2005 According to ETKA, the standard Carrier -> Hub bolts are M12x1.5x35 so make of that what you will... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dinkus 10 Posted August 27, 2005 Erm, I would appear to have purchased a 312mm setup on ebay last night. I blame Tom and beer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Timo. 0 Posted August 27, 2005 DO IT, you'll not regret moving up to the 312mm. Mine have nicely bedded in now and you can force your eyeballs out of the sockets by stamping on the brakes. It almosts hurts sometimes! makes the ABS work overtime too.... T. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dinkus 10 Posted August 28, 2005 As you well know, Mr. Thomas Persuasion, it was beer. Kronenburg to be precise And hee hee, sounds good Timo. - it's not a case of not wanting to, it's a case of whether they'll fit... gona find out soon tho (hopefully before E38, but dunno yet). And RS VR6, will do :) and I'm gonna get a garage to change them over, I don't trust myself with bleeding brakes :? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Taggart 0 Posted August 30, 2005 I've bought a 312 set-up too. I blame Tom as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NickVR6 0 Posted August 31, 2005 Oh sh.t, another thing i'll have to do.... Blimmey XB, you got over that stealth bill quickly! Just be thankfull Tom does'nt have a supercharger! (Well, one he would sell you anyway!) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Taggart 0 Posted August 31, 2005 I've now decided to bin my credit card bill every month. I don't want to see it. I'll direct debit the minimum payment for a while and then get it paid off. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Taggart 0 Posted August 31, 2005 Did that at Uni, ended up with filling the credit cards I just emptied! I'll stick to paying extortionate interest. Might teach me a lesson not to spend so much. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted September 1, 2005 Cool, let me know what washers and bolts you end up using mate. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fairzy 0 Posted September 1, 2005 Keep us posted mate... one of my calipers has seized so its the perfect time to upgrade. Any pics or a fitting guide would be REALLY helpful. Good luck anyway, I hope they fit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dinkus 10 Posted September 2, 2005 Apparently the callipers are on the delivery van... But as I'm leaving for E38 in about 3hrs, I doubt they'll get here before I go :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
