how is everyone? looks like coming back to vag lol

[aposegil 0]

Well hello everyone

 

some might know me others def know me form fuss ive made in the past and others sadly put up with me

 

well after selling my corrado back in march (i think it was then) i got myself a RX7 been fun but no german build quality but i had the vento to keep me happy for my vag fix, but now got bored of the rx7 and as my brother uses the vento as his g40 off the road ill gagging to come back

 

So i decided to sell up the rx and ive started to look for another VAG car i can get my hands on :) off course corrado would be great and i def know what I would do 2nd time round a lot of plans but the other side of me got used to air con, cruise control just newer more modern car

 

so im in two mind to either get myself a corrado and build dream one or get something like a v6 4 motion have some fun with that or just going for a audi B5 S4 always liked it. Even a 330ci crossed my mind :oops:

 

so many choices but dont knwo what to do :( i def know i never want jap again lol

hello alex :)

 

I just recommended an RX7 to a mate of mine, all my mates are scared of cars over 5 years old, and he was looking at a TT !! (:roll:)

 

good to see you back, and good luck with the hunt, you know a C is worth more than Aircon and cruise control ;)

i sold my rado g60 now just brought a mk3 vr over the moon with her omg the sound is just immense under load the induction just sounds so waarrrpppp!

 

get a vr for the noise!

 

on a serious note the build quality is immense on the older dubs and its jus hard to get out the system thats why im staying vag for a long time to come!

 

good luck with search chap!

rx's aint bad u just really need to find a good one but OMG are they pain in the arse if u dont look after them and people in clubs/forum not that helpfull sadly :(

 

also "specialist" dont seem to have the best attitude either maybe im use to the vag scene but hey its been fun whilst it lasted.

 

also yeah i love to have a corrado again as ive had one and know those are's like back of my hands but can i really get one to feel like new which having to worry about stuff :)

 

p.s i do have a vr highline spec im driving about at the mo as im going to use it for a conversion as the body gone to crap town but mechanical amazing and yep the sound is awesome but its so slow to what im used to know lol

 

next car for me will recieve the turbo treatment :)

Hi Alex,

 

Welcome back, if your looking for a well maintained Corrado VR Andy Balm's is up for sale on pistonheads.

[vr6storm 0]

phewww for a split second thought you were selling your's Bill

 

 

 

welcome back btw Alex

[Tempest 0]

other side of me got used to air con, cruise control

 

Well, a C can have all that stuff, too, get a US-spec car (SLC or G60), and mod that :-)

 

Always surprises people I meet, when they comment on what an old car my C is, that my 16-year old car already has all these toys, too. Only it also looks and handles infintely better than modern cars.

Not a chance Roddy - it's still very much a love affair. Here's another pic to remind you why.

[vr6storm 0]

my fave C of ALL TIME!!!!.................mine is getting closer to your's spec wise too tho,so this shows how much an impact/influence your C made to me when I first spied it at Wroughton in 2002

[A1 VR6 0]

Are they the electric heated variety?, and did you need a retrim. Only thing on my list is the exhaust but I keep thinking the original has to give up soon but it's not. It's sorn'd at the mo under a cover in a nice warm garage.

[vr6storm 0]

they certainly are adj/heated.............robbed out of a very nice 148k mile 94L Dragon green VR.........they'll need a re-trim come time but they are very very presentable

[A1 VR6 0]

Excellent - look forward to seeing it next year if you venture over the border for any events.

[bristolbaron 10]

get the 330.. cheap as chips now..

[aposegil 0]

hey guys

 

and Hello Bill :)

 

dont worry ive still been in touch with the vag scene and as some may see next year show season ive been busy running a projects with a few others and a few cars ive been working on will be out there :)

 

thats my main reason i want to come back to german build its like no other but if i do i cant see me getting myself a standard mint vr.

 

I def have some body touches i would like to do but the main thing will be the engine compartment.

 

the only requirements at the mo is about 3000cc upwards and has to be nippy lol oh and fun.

[Guest]

Alex, good too hear you're still on the scene mate... I'm sure whatever you get, it'll be crazy, and driven just as mad!!! :lol: Never forget the many burns up the M40 to various meets, you, Dom and Asim driving like loonys!

Maybe catch up at future meets...

[BigTartanJudge 0]

No question Alex, buy a cheap VR6 rado, R32 transplant / conversion into it, then turbo it, job-done with 450-500 BHP, should see you enough fun to start with ! Oh and welcome back BTW, knew you would return soon enough LOL ! ;-)

 

Cheers

hello steve mate hows things? :)

 

also me drive my cars hard? Never lol thats not the reason why in the first weekend of owning the rx I kill the rear tyres lol ;) and yep if i build a corrado again it will be silly mad ;) i do have plans lol

 

hello BTJ hows things ? well lets just say i already have had two of those fours things u mentiuned ;) now u got to work out if its a corrado that’s R32'ed maybe turbo or just 450-500bhp? lol

 

I was thinking of complete R32 heldex but so many have it now its kind of put me off im thinking something slightly different.

 

Only thing about corrados now ive got used to having a vento is the space etc so still not sure whats next

 

well got a few people interest in the rx so lets see how things go :)

[Phil K 0]

Hi Alex! Nice to see you back on here and heading back to the fold! Would be good to catch up with you properly at a meet or something soon :D

[aposegil 0]

[Bally 0]

Alex Stranger.. good to see your making yr way back... :wink:

 

who ended up with J RAN??

 

Also weres Amit these days???

[Henny 0]

'lo Alex... Wanna buy a cheap Corrado with loads of history that's just wanting an engine transplant? (J-Dub's going for sale shortly for much cheapness!)

 

Good to see you looking to come back to the fold... 8)

[aposegil 0]

hello bally

 

yeah thought about time i had a better car lol

 

also the owner of J Ran is on this forum actually but sadly wants to keep it under wraps until he finishes his touches which i think is fair. Personally cant wait to see it myself and Ill be able to blag a drive hopefully ;)

 

also Amit nearly married off mate lol no honestly he is doing well work wise etc and doesnt have tiem anymore for his corrado etc which is a pitty as a nice 23K corrado just sitting there not being used :(

 

Hello Henny thanx for offer but until Rx out of my hands not really looking but ive had a flood of offers so far whats with everyone lol

 

and thanx
