My Red Rado

[Lanceevox 0]

Here is my 92' Corrado VR6 w/ original red (tornado red?) paint. I could not upload the pics because they were to big so here is a LINK---> http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/lanceevox ... 39&.src=ph

 

 

Please give me feedback+suggestions to make my car look more aggresive or sporty.

there must be tyre size problem.... tyres look big...

apart from that....your rado looks good...;)

Yeah my tyres do rub against the wells a bit, when I go into full lock it is pretty bad. What are my options for tyre hieght? If I get thoses little rubber band ones do you think it will look good?

european corrado vr6s use 205/50/15 so does USA version so you can use 215/40/16 . i think that is right tyre size..and you can use below site to calculate different tyre sizes...;)

I say:

 

Slam it, remove the BBS sticker from the side, get either all red or red/clear or red/clear smoked rear lights, remove black side strip or colour code, colour code front grill, or remove completely, bigger wheels...?

 

Just a few ideas, but it looks mint mate. Super tidy interior, and loverly looking conditioned leather.

looks like your running 205/50/16 tires...or maybe you took em as they come off a mk4 Wolfsburg? Most people here (USA) tend to go with 205/45/16 that the aforementioned 215/40/16.....i plan on running 215/45/16 this summer.

What do I need to lower my car? Just some koni springs? I don't know the legistics of it.. Also what is the biggest rims you can fit without making body mods on a corrado, and without rubbing.. I really like the look of those rims that have deep lips and stick out of the wheel wells a bit. Also, where can I get a 90mm front lower black lip?

Is yours a G60? Mine eats up the gas.. I averaged 15mpg today.. but I do alot of commute, stop and go traffic..

[veeDuB_Rado 0]

I got the 1.8 18v, but a g60 is next on my list :)

 

15mpg?!?!?!

 

That's mad, and I thought my 26mpg was bad :lol:

[Lanceevox 0]

Yeah, its terrible when I am in the city, and not that much better on open road about 23 mpg. I am not sure what the issue is but it hurts my wallet, gas went up to $2.50 a gallon.. I guess you europeans have to pay like 9 buckaroo's a gallon though.

Yea petrol really sucks here at the mo...

 

But that's not the main problem, when you're driving a Corrado, you're right foot sems to get heavy :D

I know what you mean. When I first got my rado all I would do is jump starts from stop signs and fly down the freeways at 120. Now I learned to restrain my self but my gas is still hurting me for some reason.

 

-Where can I get a short shifter for my rado? How much are they and how hard is it to put in?

Lanceevox i pay $ 2.3 for 1 litre gas...:D ( 1 Gallon = 3.78 litre ) You are lucky...

 

 

When i was in States the price was $ 1.79 (95 ron) for a gallon (New York - 2004) :D :D :D

 

 

Turkey and Norway have the most expensive petrol price in World.... We are the first norway is the second.......but the norway is six times richer than us ...... :D :D

My bad, gas is actually about $2.50 a gallon. Down the street it is $2.39 :-P

Cheapest way would be to just replace your springs. But that is most certainly not the best way to go about it. If you do a search im sure youll find plenty of opinions and explanations on whats best.

 

Also what is the biggest rims you can fit without making body mods on a corrado, and without rubbing.. I really like the look of those rims that have deep lips and stick out of the wheel wells a bit.

 

I dont know. At a guess 17's. But it depends how much you lower it obviously.

 

Also, where can I get a 90mm front lower black lip?

 

http://www.gpcvwaudi.com/ - but the price with the 60 and 90mm spoiler are wrong. You need to swap them round. Cant help with a US supplier im afraid.
