bix 0 Posted September 10, 2005 Welcome to the forum! I saw your car in watton a few weeks back, outside the chip shop I think, looks very nice, had to drive past it a few times in my aqua blue g60, was it yours then, or you only just bought it? So you from Watton, I'm from Hingham? Ryan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just done all the usual engine and exterior mods, chip, pulley, cam, red tops lowered, exhaust, and the essential lupo wipers and headlight loom. Got a big intercooler to go in now too, which I'm about to go and fit, and a ported charger on the way :) Not to hijack your thread but heres a few photos!

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted September 13, 2005 Here's a very small picture of racing swamp's VR. Looks nice! Wouldn't mind some details of the engine. Must have a special crank in it to get 3.2? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bix 0 Posted September 13, 2005 Check here Kev, the previous owner...who seem to have upgraded :) to an escort rs turbo! http://the-corrado.net/.archive/forum/viewtopic.php?t=27757&highlight= Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted September 14, 2005 Cheers for the link. I was expecting a right old heap of an Escort but that grey one is f'in superb! I know what people generally think of them but how many do you see prepared to that standard??! I think they're part of an era which is now coming back in fashion big style. I wouldn't have one but I've driven a few and they're not all that bad, just prefer the stuctural integrity of VWs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Claret Badger 0 Posted September 14, 2005 what kev said I like the Mk1's and Mk2 rear wheel escorts - but that's what happens when you're brought up in the 70's!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fairzy 0 Posted September 14, 2005 Looks awesome mate. Were the bodykit and wheels imported? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
samm_cvr6 0 Posted September 15, 2005 Did like the RTS back in the day, but interior is terrible really and there even more unreliable then Corrado's! LOL, I couldn't go from a 3.2 VR to an RST, no matter how much it was souped up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted September 16, 2005 Yeah that was me, previously I was Whistler from Blade (Kris Kristoffesen). Now I feel a tw@t everytime I log on and see my face, so I dumped that too! As someone else said, the forum now looks like a gay dating site with faces everywhere.....and I have to use the forum at work.....but it was fun for a while I guess...

Chris VR6nos 0 Posted September 17, 2005 HAHAHAHA Gay dating site, NickVr6's pic stunned me with the likeness to short gay singer from a band in the 80's, Jimmy Somerville Don't take offence Nick mate, just having a giggle, i think it's the hair really though generally Mr. Somerville doesn't have any! :wink: And no i'm not gay nor do i subscribe to the Jimmy Somerville mailling list! :lol: Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
