iow_corrado_g60 0 Posted July 18, 2006 good luck to him and hopefully he puts at least 5% of the effort jay put into it as i would love to see it supercharged a brilliant car getting better! car be much wrong with that! if i had it id always be feeling this is jays car so imo he does need to do something to put his own touch on it so maybe he will put a supercharger on it so then people can say he's doing something!

Guest Posted July 18, 2006 if i had it id always be feeling this is jays car so imo he does need to do something to put his own touch on it something! but if he can't get on the interweb on his gameboy then he's not going to know what everyone thought of it being "Jays Car". you know me, I'm a bitter person :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vdubCorrado 0 Posted July 18, 2006 uhh where did he claim it was possibly nicest world wide... this thread http://www.edition38.com/board/viewtopic.php?t=52933 and lemme dig... "On saturday i purchased the best corrado in the country possible the world" but as i said it may be the nicest but from pictures i saw i personally thought this was more impressive, being that it had to be fully custom built... i will look into this persona car more, because i doubt there are many people who will appreciate a corrado much more than i do... i've spent hundtreds possibly a thousand actually just on corrado magazines, posters, brochures, anything that has to do with a rado for display for my car... but the way i ment my response was leading to ask that i was wondering what made it so impressive because it looked like a straight 24v swap from what i saw and as of now the most imopressive corrado i know of was that one. but then again i do bias twords HP... i bought a 2003 Ford Mustang Cobra just because of it's power capabilities... i am no wherenear done messing with it and it already makes 500hp to the wheels... on a stock supercharger no less... but i have to stick up for the under 25 year olds... everyone always gets on "kids" for having nice cars they shouldn't have and say it's cause of their parents... maybe, but i noticed not the case half the time... i am 23 in 2 weeks, i work a full time job, just bought a house, well bust my ass at work some days but i usually run heavy equiment and this year alone i will nearly hit the high class for income... am i rich? shit no haha, but my priorities are cars... cars before anything and "kids" like me usually seem to be the same way... so that's about all i have to say i guess... i will look into this car more, sorry if i offended anyone it was not ment to be offensive, i was just curious and got excited that someone may have had something nicer that what i thought was the nicest so i guess excitement could have seem offensive? sorry...

Concept-e 0 Posted July 19, 2006 beautiful corrado agreed. New owner perhaps could have worded that better and announced it on the right forum lol! But im 20 and despite not ever owning a Corrado, ive had Polo GTs, G40s, performance car nonetheless. As the guy above has said, i live for cars alot of the time. My passion in life apart from my music is my cars. I slave my ass off to pay insurance and stuff. At 20 its silly money, but hard work and paying silly prices for a bit pays off when i finally get no claims. I will own a corrado and it will be probably before im 21. But i have average income parents who disapprove of anything car related. The give me nothing towards cars. I don't drink excessively, i dont buy clothes and stuff alot, my money goes on 3 things usually....cars, music, and petrol. Not the life for many, but working day in day out, and driving home in a nice car does it for me.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nick 0 Posted July 19, 2006 uhh where did he claim it was possibly nicest world wide... this thread http://www.edition38.com/board/viewtopic.php?t=52933 and lemme dig... ... Jay has never claimed this, but the new owner has. I have never seen this car in the flesh, but have read all about it. If i had just bought this car, i would tell everybody that it is the single best corrado in the world. It may not be true in your eyes, but in mine, and many others, it certainly is...

Guest Posted July 19, 2006 but the way i ment my response was leading to ask that i was wondering what made it so impressive because it looked like a straight 24v swap nah mate, there's alot more in it than that, its been rebuilt from the ground up, withh not only new VAG parts, but loads of different manufacturers in there. have a look at Jays threads to get some idea Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted July 19, 2006 i know bill schimmel built a mid engine, rear wheel drive, fully built 24v VR6 twin turbo, and dog box transmission... that may be as of now the nicest i know of...

ShatnerSchimmel is God 8) That is defo the best Rado in the world imo.... yeh, schimmel lives about 2 hours from me, my best friends corrado is there being built... again... pulling his 2.9 12v and going 3.1 12v. (schimmel actually said not to run with the 24v he said when he's done he'll make more with his 12...) he is also putting in a full custom AWD setup consisting of mainly porsche parts, will have a dog box transmission, and the differential control will be ran through his stand alone TEC system... the cars gonna be incredible! i can't wait... i am thinking though of having shimmel build my 16v for me that way i know it's done right by someone who knows what they're doin here's my friends car last i saw it... 93 Corrado 53k original miles, and he's rebuilt it like 3 times over... spent over $60,000 in this car already... so what's that like uhh... i dunno £40,000 maybe? cars beautiful... mainly stock appearence because it such a low milage car, but built :D and here's the bay, although the intercooler, intercooler piping and some other stuff is off of the car now... oh yeh and he didn't want me taking pictures cause he said it was filthy under the hood :shock: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted July 19, 2006 Lovely car! Nice wheels, what are they? Filthy under the hood, yeah right, tell your mate to get a reality check :-) It's immaculate. You are such a lucky bloke living so close to Schimmel. I'd love to drop my car off there with a blank cheque (or check to you :-) ) on the passenger seat. I have one of Bill's short runner intakes and his and Darlene's service were excellent, very friendly and accomodating people. That is my Kung Fu mate......retaining the car's identity but with incredible engineering underneath. Don't take the snappiness in response to Jay's car personally, I think they misunderstood the way you put yourself across. I read it as being the innocent query you intended.... i.e. tell me more about the car to justify it's label as "best corrado in the world", which is fair enough coming from someone that's not been here long and not followed it's transformation. It's stunning in the flesh, absolutely flawless and immaculate inside and out. It may not sport Schimmel's expertise and raw power mechanically, but a true masterpiece in OE+ engineering ;-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It may not sport Schimmel's expertise and raw power mechanically, but a true masterpiece in OE+ engineering ;-) yeh unfortunatly i don't think it'd be worth having your car shipped here to be worked haha but if there's anything i could help anyone out with any of the rather reputable builders here (don't know if they're known there but i will not help or support any purchase of any EIP part. they screwed up my friend's black rado there and is the real reason it's in schimmels hands right now) but it may seem weird i guess to seem willing to help, atleast people here in the states seem so, but i've driven hours out of state just tp help someone work on their rado so they didn't blow it up and waste money like i did... i kind of always felt if i help people out here someday i'll get the favor returned... and well so far worked, i've met a few guys who started helping me get some parts brought here from across the pond, so it's all worth it in the end haha as said i do need to check this car out further, just been so busy with buying a house and work the only time to my self is to come on here... haha i don't even bother going to vwvortex.com anymore as for my friends wheels... it may take me a few mins to remember them i always forget but recall right when i walked away and have no access to tell who ever it is who asked... oh yeh but i don't think living close to schimmel is worth the balance of not getting any good cars here you have over there haha i want every VW we don't have here haha and Renault R5 and the new one of... uhh clio right? i know i love the 5 a friend of mine some how had one here... probably cause his parents own almost all the car delaerships around here mainly luxury and exotic...
