herisites 0 Posted April 22, 2009 I think you should leave it looking like that Karl, it looks hard as nails :lol: As said it's a shame you gave up with the R32 mate, but at least it will have some turbo goodness on it eventually :clap: Oh and first dibs on the RK's when you sell them mate (because I know you will sell them :lol:) they look sweeeeet!

junkie 0 Posted April 22, 2009 A happy home life/marriage is way more important than any car/engine combo but as its only a project car it should also not matter too much when things do not go smoothly as ever they never do and you WILL have issues with the 12v turbo too at some point, i just think there is no rush to get the corrado on the road as you do have alternative transport.

Jim 2 Posted April 23, 2009 I reckon you're well on the right track Karl. As others have said, even with the 2.8 12v it'll be a peach. I'm sure just getting it all put back together, cleaned, and DRIVEN will cheer you up considerably - and make the home environment a little happier again!

Thats actually the best idea yet, rebuild the car to however you want ie 12v, then realise its not what you want and carry on stripping it down again to fit the 32 :D sorted...

KADVR6 0 Posted May 25, 2009 well hopefully the corrado will be back on the road in a couple of months?? but in the meantime i have bought a new daily :D i need an estate due to the new dog etc etc, went looking at audi a4's (common) then vw passats (common and not very well built i think) so went for the car below. its a 2001 car 72k on the clock with one elderly driver, full service history and its cleaner than most 03/04 cars i was looking at. this will get the missus use to driving something bigger than her ibiza, and i dont really car if she has little accidents in it because all the running gear/engine etc etc will be finding its way onto the mk1 scirroco. and then next year i will buy a lot newer skoda, yeh i do really like this car :shock: how much do you think i paid for it?? karl Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toad 0 Posted May 25, 2009 You paid £12.76 and a signed picture of me. I will sort some pics of that head out soon. :oops: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted May 25, 2009 £2000? Looks like a great motor mate! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KADVR6 0 Posted May 25, 2009 not a bad guess Jim, i paid £1700 for it :D and cheers tom for the picture of your head, i'm gonna be soooo nervous when i get a pm from you saying heres a picture of my head :lol: and its getting a re-map done very soon also, i CANT leave things standard for long :cuckoo: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sonicriot13 0 Posted May 25, 2009 i'm gonna be soooo nervous when i get a pm from you saying heres a picture of my head Why? Get it signed and it will be worth £1,687.24! :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted May 25, 2009 Jesus - £1,700!! That's pretty decent... get a Revo remap on it next seeing as you got a bargain ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KADVR6 0 Posted May 25, 2009 its going to performance torque in wolverhampton for the re-map Jim, i have heard only good things about he's re-maps, Andy cazzavr had he's vrs done there. plus theres a GB on Briskoda at the moment. then i'm gonna decide on "which" alloys to put on it.

Toad 0 Posted May 25, 2009 Looks lovely and tidy. 4wd 1.8t PlopRocket sounds interesting.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yep, Will's maps are superb 8) About half the price of Revo too... Looks great, Karl :) Gonna get vRS bumpers & tailgate spoiler? Would look fantastic- especially as it's a non-vRS colour. You could prob get them quite cheap from a scrapper- think they're pretty cheap from Skoda new. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
junkie 0 Posted May 26, 2009 Before it gets stripped down keep it as sleeper as possible, sod the VRS stuff, but def get the remap, and that engine looks proper clean man. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KADVR6 0 Posted June 18, 2009 with it being my birthday today, i decided to fit my new interior (yeh another one :lol: ) this is the interior i bought from dukest from out the car we kinda bought together, i have always wanted these recaro's as i think they are the best seats in a corrado!! on saturday i'm picking up my new engine so within a couple of weeks (fingers crossed) the corrado will be running, i'm just very undecided what i'm going to do with it at the moment, i'm not going to sell the car just cant decide on how i'm what i'm going to do with it engine wise ie turbo, rotrex or ITB's. i'm even thinking leaving it standard :shock: and getting all the bodywork 100% mint. karl Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
