jenks 0 Posted May 8, 2006 What's next for the car, mate? Well still quite alot! For just now, red rear lights, Rieger grille spoiler (but gota get bonnet catch,CV joint,few electric probs and get front wings sorted!) Wouldnt mind getting a US spec smooth front bumper and TT/R32 brakes. Coming off road end of summer after E38 and want to tidy more of bodywork, engine bay and get some leather in her! Was close to buying paul1's supercharger but im only 21 and ive not touched any student loans or overdrafts so was determined not to go mad! im hoping next year it might be supercharged!

jenks 0 Posted January 31, 2007 Time for an update, last time the corrado was in action was last summer! :( Ring Trip Number 2 Drove into Village on Saturday afternoon to find the place buzzing! The pics explain why! Every sort of Touring Car,DTM,GT racer was there lapping! The Cars View From Hotel Room window The Village Managed to get onto the track at night! Jimbo taking a p!ss......on a bmw! Half a lap around and pop goes a water hose, Gutted! As i felt i really knew the circuit better from the last time we were there in March. Local VW garage shut, major shouting match with greenflag ends up me telling them the best solution! :roll: Which ends up being this: Gaffa tape on burst hole and we drive her on and off ferry @ Amsterdam and back on to a recovery lorry that was waiting for us at Newcatle. £40 for extra european cover? bargain! More pics @ the ferry in Amsterdam Big shout out to james,andy and kris for a top w'knd watching the World Cup Final in Germany! 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jenks 0 Posted January 31, 2007 So she sat outside my house for over 7 months sing that ring trip!!!! :oops: :roll: :( My own fault as i thought sod it, no point fixing 1 pipe and carry on using it with other teething problems such as bushes,inner CV joints,passenger door not opening along woth central locking and bonnet catch away again! So I was luckily enough to get a mint replacement hose off Ian aka craigowl, (cheers, the rest of your water pipes up for sale? :wink: ) i fitted it,filled it her up with water,charged the battery, and she started up and idling perfect, was expection alot of tappety noises but nothing :!: Well happy, these engine are solid, no overheating issues either. So shes back in the garage, pics coming soon with parts and bits n bobs i have collected while shes been off the road. Also been saving my tips (im a bus & taxi driver in the family buiness) which is going towards a full respray hopefully, should of done it 1 st time round really. cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

soupie69uk 0 Posted January 31, 2007 Pretty good going after 7 months. My mates brother had a Cav V6 and it sat around for about a year and when we started it it was tappety as hell. Anymore trips to the ring planned? No dirty jokes please! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jenks 0 Posted January 31, 2007 :lol: Well we were going on sept this year, but i might be heading to florida this year,def goin next year though,wont be in raddo though, be something alot more suited to the track! 8) Yeah she used to be a wee bit tappety now an then on a cold start,but cant believe how well she idled. So when you getting the G60 then?! Your on here more than me now!:lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
soupie69uk 0 Posted January 31, 2007 Ha yeah I know I like to keep an eye on what is happening on the forums!! Go through phases of which ones I look on. Don't know about the G60 yet need to see what I am going to do with buying a house. If I buy a house will get a raddo if not will do a few more mods to the A4. All depends on what my mate decides he wants to do as I cant afford to buy a flat on my own. Will need to come and see yours and your mates though to see what they are like.

jenks 0 Posted April 20, 2007 Well after much looking, researching and a lot of pondering!!! I have thrown my idea of having a budget out of the window, (as you do) and got a late, low milage (34K) mk4 20vT with a few extras! Id love to say let the modding begin, but cash flow is tighter than a sparrows arse at mo, but she'll be getting smooth rear bumper and badge recess on bonnet welded and filled in within next 4 to 6 weeks. Then its coilovers, and selecting a set of alloys to fook about with. Here she is, Shes been remapped, but dont know power so be interesting to get her dyno'd, she feels faster than than the corrado,but i reckon there wouldnt be much in it. The corrado isnt forgotten btw, she'll be getn alot of work over the quiet winter months. Then she'll most likely be 'The Weekend Car' 8) Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jenks 0 Posted November 7, 2007 Wee update, (sorry it aint a raddo- few wee things left to do then i make a start on her) This was up for sale but due to being rather busy with extra work I can afford to keep it now and still get onto that property ladder. Took her up north with my mates for the weekend,(see a trend here?) she ran ok considering she's been off the road for 3-4months, worrying thing is my remap aint working???? :? Service next. She could go lower at back and in general but shes rubbing alot at front so be coming up a few threads also thanks to council putting speedbumps on my road and my driveway is real bad! :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil K 0 Posted November 7, 2007 Looks really nice mate! Have you thought about losing the bump strips on the doors as well? I think it'd really help set off the smoothed bumpers 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
