JT 0 Posted August 28, 2005 cheers buddy, gonna leave as is for now, i like the oe look of it, obviously it's lowered but imho all corrado's should be, as soon as i've got some money i'm gonna have a chat with either G-werks or JMR and have it chipped and pulleyed :D she has had alot of money spent on her and is totally ready for the upgrades, will eventually have the golf intercooler fitted but as the winters comin theirs no rush so once i've done my research on the chips and pulleys, prices etc that will be the next thing to be done.... she pulls like a train at the mo i'm well impreesed so i'm looking forward to even more :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Riley 0 Posted August 28, 2005 sound. 8) i like how the cambelt change has been noted on the inlet mani! :lol: neil. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JT 0 Posted August 28, 2005 yeah i know how great is that :lol: it was the first thing i saw when i popped the bonnet. any advice you can give me for getting her chipped and pulleyed :?: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Riley 0 Posted August 28, 2005 any advice you can give me for getting her chipped and pulleyed :?: im pretty new to rado's me self m8,its currently off the road awaiting sns chip and 68mm pulley,with other bits... i think ill probably speak for most if i just say 'go for it' 8) g-werks or pitstop developments are the guys you need. pulley is around £55? and sns chip around £110. neil.

pkripper 0 Posted August 28, 2005 I had a smaller pulley and chip put on mine last week by Darren at Gwerks for £200 odd quid. Made a noticible difference, brings the power down the range so there's no nead to thrash the nuts out of it, just change up for more boost in the next gear :lol: Just how they should have come from the factory. Looking to get a Miltek on mine as soon as I can get one :roll: , how is the the noise on your one? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JT 0 Posted August 29, 2005 nice that sopunds very resonable, how long did they need your car for :?: the miltek is a funny one in my opinion, when it's cold it sounds a bit like the mk2 8v but once warmed through and been on a bit of a run it does sound lovely especially with the cat bypass, and the fit is lovely, i would recommend it deffinately.

Phil K 0 Posted August 29, 2005 Nice clean looking ride there Mr... best colour by far too (I'm sure at least one more mod will be with me on this ;) ) Looks about the same height as mine too 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JT 0 Posted August 29, 2005 pkripper- 2 hours, well thats a result will have to give darren a ring tomorrow. son of a beesting- she is lovely and drives like new, she is a real testament to all your hard work, but don't worry she has gone to a good home, (had to put the fuel filter back on yesterday tho, must of worked it's way loose :D ) phil k- cheers buddy, the grey or silver have always been my favourite colour for a c, she is riding low but so far have'nt had any problems the 50mm front spoiler probably helps :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
