Hi all...

[ziderapple 0]

Hi, I picked up my Corrado yesterday, L plate dragon green VR with black leather interior. So I thought I'd join the forum and say hello. :)

I was just reading through the "spotted.." thread, nice to see you're a friendly bunch, I used to drive a MK1 golf and we all wave at each other. Hopefully I'll see some of you around,

 

Chris.

Hello welcome to the forum. There seems to be more and more corrados in Bristol all the time. We have a L reg dark Burgundy VR6, give us a wave if you see us about :D

Yeah I did see the stand, was impressed. I was dragging my girlfriend around it saying "I want one" and now I have! :luvlove:

Will be sure to wave to you blackcat if I see you, and I'll get some pics up next week. just trying to sort out the stereo at the mo, why do people butcher the ISO conectors!! :censored: Ive got an alpine 9812rb, I've read through the post's on speaker set ups. Think I'll go for some 6x4's in the back - I realise this is controversial..

Hi, thanks for all the welcomes. Will post some piccy's as soon as I can get my camera off the girlfriend. The C developed a coolant leak today! Will be in at garage to be fixed asap, I'm pretty handy with cars (owning a Mk1 golf you need to be!) but just cant be arsed lately!

Hi, finally got some pictures up for you. Hope you like her. P.S Sorry for the size of the images, I uploaded them, then resized them and put them back up but the forum sems to keep them at the origninal sizes..

 

 

 

Anyone recognise the induction kit? No markings on it... makes a bautiful sound though!

 

Picture of the offending leaking flanges. I'm wondering if the new thermostst was left out as I did a 400 mile round trip yesterday cruising between 70 and 90 and the guage temp didnt go over 70 except when I was in some traffic when it would reach 80, oil temp according to MFA was healthy, around the 100degC mark. The coolant previously ran a fair bit warmer, but TBH I'd rather it was cool. (Only had the car about three weeks now so still getting the feel of everything).

 

Needs a good clean all over after trip.

Cheers.

 

Chris

hmmm, looks nice, although someone down the line has tried to pass it off as a storm by the looks of it :wink:

What are the buttons for next to the headlight switch?

[Phil K 0]

Could be aircon?

[DUB 0]

Hello mate - nice motor, where abouts in Bristol you to mate?

[Bally 0]

Nice VR.. looks like its lowered too....

[ardandy 0]

def aircon, got em in mine.

[ziderapple 0]

Hi, well if I'm honest I was wondering what the buttons were for myself, the car had been fitted with an aftermarket air con kit (or so I'm told) before I bought it which was ripped out by the previous owner as I quote "it was gash", so I guess that's what the switches are for, as they do say 'norm' and 'max', unless it previoulsy had standard air con which failed and a previous owner was to tight to have it fixed... doubt it though.

 

It has been lowered, I've not had a wheel off yet so cant say what make they are, but the struts are yellow and springs are red so could be Spax but then again could be cheapo budget crap, however it really does handle like its on rails! No takers on induction kit? The end has a hole in it and is not solid - unlike most I've seen.

 

BlackG60 I live just off Shirehampton Road in BS9 - soon to be living on Shirehampton road all being well.

 

Walesy If it resembles a Storm I'm happy with that! Its only missing standard air con and a year off a being a storm - correct me if I'm wrong. (94 L plate)

 

Thank's for the replys.

 

Chris.
