Chris Langdon 0 Posted June 30, 2011 (edited) well again havent updated this for a while, went to GTI International at the weekend havent been for a few years now plus a mate wanted to show case his rallye to sell it,:( never taken the VR to a show so thought it be good idea, crackin weather on the sunday, good to see some old faces and some new, felt abit out of my league with some of the standard of cars on display but enjoyed the show all the same;) plus i had taken the rear coilovers off as one was making a funny noise (plastic dust cap was catching) so cleaned them up too but forgot to take a measurement so was riding a lot higher on the back which was noticably when up there lol here's some piccys of my VR and some one i know from another forum took the first photo, it actually looks quiet mint in this one lol;) Got some of the love back for the VR as she drove perfect on a 450 mile round trip, ttfn Chris Edited June 30, 2011 by Chris Langdon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OSV 0 Posted June 30, 2011 Good to catch up with you Chris and finally see the VR (still love that Moonlight blue) its still one of my favourite Corrados and I hope that you find a way of keeping it and perhaps finding something less special for the daily duties.

Chris Langdon 0 Posted June 30, 2011 cheers Gareth she aint a patch on yours mate, yeah its a diffucult one as the stone chips and lacquer peeling letting it down some what, and on reflection i maybe not entered it in show n shine. im just not in a position at the mo to spent the money it deserves to sort out the paint deflects. its like a great book your reading get three quarter of the way throught to put it down and not find out what the endings like lol. i want the paint up to the standard i want, a set of recaro's, as higher spec Vr as possible but funds are a bit tight. plus anybody that came up to me and said what a lovely car it is, said how corrado were losing money hand over fist!! which really cheerd me up:) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OSV 0 Posted June 30, 2011 I'm sure once all the poor examples are gone prices will firm up and hopefully start to rise. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Langdon 0 Posted June 30, 2011 Gareth what ride height you running at at the mo??? looked spot on to me on sunday, how you getting on with the KW's?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OSV 0 Posted June 30, 2011 Thanks, I think its 580mm up front 590mm at the back on the 17s. The KWs are great when driving but you are never going to get OE comfort at low speed on poor roads Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Langdon 0 Posted June 30, 2011 yep i know what you mean the H&R's are excellent been on the car nearly three years now and are awesome still like new when cleaned up but pot holes etc at low speeds with 17s on is not OE comfort but that said when driving the G40 and the mk1 its still very good. loved those Red BBS badges where did you get them from? was good to chat on sunday shame we could have spoke some more, as you and andy seem to know where im coming from, the major problem i have is im my worst person lol i have 3 VWs to maintain the rado should of always beem a standard daily but fell down the slippery slope and as my wife says i have all my fingers in all three pies lol ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OSV 0 Posted June 30, 2011 The badges are from BBS Japan, try PWMotorsport but make sure you are sitting down. Enjoy the G40 for a while then sacrifice it for the greater good that is the Corrado. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Langdon 0 Posted June 30, 2011 (edited) lol oh really yep used phil walker before will look into it. the Rado is night and day over the G40. would like to get mine to yours and andy's standard Edited June 30, 2011 by Chris Langdon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
