jenks 0 Posted January 24, 2011 Jezz! 3 years since I posted on this section?!!! 'Bit' of an update then. Well I've always been lurking on here and always with corrados, 3 at the moment...all off the road.... :epicfail: :lol: Still have MJI 3995 but under a sheet outside :( one day when all the corrado parts are FULLY obsolete, I will fully restore her! :roll: Had a charged vr6 (ex Tom Ingrams) which I later sold on to my mate - kris669 off here. Still got the 3 litre which still sits in garage after engine wiring loom going up in smoke. And with all this ive been 'just_say_meths' agony uncle through his G60 project which he will be revealing soon, just a shame ive never had the time to manually help out! Still have my TT which I replaced my Mk4 Golf with. I had a wee play with bentleys, white vinyl wrap and spending every spare minute transforming the black leather to satin red! She'll be up for sale soon though. But to the new beast! To everyone thats knows me will know that what started off as a bit of a pipedream, that then went onto an ambition, eventually a target is now finally.............reality! Only had the car just under 2 months but even with limited driving (thanks to the weather) I'm still buzzing, smiling and having the odd chuckle to myself ( no not lost the plot just yet! ) at the power delivery which makes the hard graft and saving up all worth the while. Three years ago after a year into business I set a target, a target for a car I've always dreamed about and above all make it happen! As those who are self employed know that your business is not a job, its a way of life, and it takes up 95% of it, so at times a target keeps you on track and makes you remind yourself why your doing it when your having one of those bad days! Like most die hard dubbers you always have a soft spot for the Stuttgart machine's. A 911 Turbo for me was always the one, mainly a 993! At the time they were in my price range....but the world of the aircooled porsche second hand market can have its weird and wonderful ways and today they are now approx 7 - 10K more than they were back then! A dated interior and not the most daily of supercars swayed me off also. So what would offer good looks, reliablity, and be a good practical daily with also having that bonkers performance of the 911 for my specific budget? In my opinion it had to be the 996 Turbo. Long story short, plans were to buy a standard 'best I could afford' manual 996T in black,yellow or grey. I purchased coilovers that were once on this car, previous owner gave me excellent buying and tuning advice then around 1 month later asked if I was interested in buying his very own car. Way over my budget, but with over 25k been thrown at her, excellent history and alot of the mods I was going to carry out already ticked off, it was hard to say no! Rough Spec is as follows: GT2 Front Bumper Mashaw GT2 Rear Spoiler 6pot 375mm Front brakes + Rear brakes 19" BBS LM's GT2 K24 turbos with the Bell cored coolers and Forge divertor valves SFS boost hoses and F pipe Miltek exhaust and manifolds Remapped 997 GT3 short shift GT3 roll bars Adjustable rosejointed drop links front and rear Adjustable Camber Arms Moton Clubsports with uprated topmounts. Looking forward to a track day once I get the hang of the engine and drive coming from the rear, hard to get your head round when you have been used to it all from the front! Really interested for a rolling road too, should hopefully be between 500bhp - 550 bhp. Sorry for the very poor Iphone pics. Planning a few road trips so more photos to follow in up coming months.
