jimmy83 0 Posted February 16, 2006 Hi all, first off, brilliant forum, I haven't even got my car yet and already I'm looking into 24v conversions etc. I've had a mk2 golf gti 8v for a few years (up for sale soon...) and the corrado was a natural progression. I'll be picking her up on saturady, can't wait! Its a '95 2.0 16v in metalic black, fsh with 80,000......what do you guys think? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jimmy83 0 Posted February 16, 2006 found sum pics of my golf too......really can't decide wether or not to sell her, i love it too much... :oops: Using it for work at the mo, it's got a 2.0 8v engine, plenty of torque for the daily grind. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chrishill 0 Posted February 16, 2006 nice clean looking 'rado to go with your nice clean looking golf! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimmy83 0 Posted February 16, 2006 cheers for the comments guys. Anouther bonus is that I work in southam, about ooooh, say 30 seconds away from stealth racing. Although My g/f would probably class it as more of a curse!! :-P Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bristolbaron 10 Posted February 16, 2006 looks tidy, ive seen that recently, ebay or the trader? welcome to the forum! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimmy83 0 Posted February 16, 2006 On the 'trader. tbh, was looking for a nice black g60, but all were mega high mileage, and had 'questionable' 'charger history.....Went to see this one, and it was just right. I do prefer the later styling too. I know its not going to be as quick as the g60, but it's a damn good base for a project. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Im currently getting tempted by a high power Tdi conversion :wink: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
corradophil 3 Posted February 16, 2006 do prefer the later styling too. I know its not going to be as quick as the g60, but it's a damn good base for a project. Looks good, nice to see another tidy valver. Oh and G60 power, have a look at my signature, it can be done! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Im currently getting tempted by a high power Tdi conversion :wink: .... they can be bloomin quick!! make the KR Cam mod the first you do and you'll not be far off a VR (as ZippyVR6 will confirm about mine). Check my sig for the bhp etc.... looks like a great base for a project, welcome aboard! :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimmy83 0 Posted February 16, 2006 hmmm, a mate of mine has got a vr 'rado, would certainly piss him off if i could hang on to him for a bit.....! although he's having it turbo'd at dubsport now...... :x Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim 2 Posted February 23, 2006 This car looks a bit familiar! I saw it parked up just across the road from my flat the other night! Will drop you a PM to confirm location! :) Looked very nice though - clean and original :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lippy 0 Posted February 23, 2006 very nice - welcome! I think every 2ltr valver on this forum will have the kr cam mod done soon! Andrew Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimmy83 0 Posted April 6, 2006 Took some half decent pics the other night, after a serious polishing session! I'm quite chuffed with the results. Just need some nice rims now! Any suggestions on rim choice? I was swaying towards either bbs splits (if it's a good month.....), or ronal LS if I'm hard up! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimmy83 0 Posted April 6, 2006 sorry, here's the pics..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
