dizzydubbers_missis 0 Posted May 25, 2008 So this is my first post. I had a vr 3 years ago but only kept it a few weeks, i'd wanted one since i first saw one in the early 90's ( i was only a youngster then) when i got one i'd hyped it for so long i ended up being disapointed. For the last 2 years i've had a mk1 2.0 16v which was only for track days and the odd summer day. But i sold it last weekend and last night picked up my new vr. This one is mainly for the track aswell and i have till july to get it ready for castle combe. I'm really pleased with it, even tho my hubby dislikes it. Purely cuz its burgandy, he'd perfer me to have got a green one that was much rougher lol, just cuz its not burgandy (what a girl eh) I dont like the wheels but cant think of what to change them for, ideally 16" and not too pricey, if you have any suggestions then fire away. I have the original lights aswell and cant decide whether to put them on? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gavbs 0 Posted May 25, 2008 Welcome back to the fold! Great choice of colour...! :notworthy: I actually quite like the wheels... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toad 0 Posted May 25, 2008 Lovely colour. I did see your thread on edition, but you only had the 1st pic at the time and I couldn't really make it out. There are a few people who like tracking their rados on here, and I wouldn't be surprised if you bumped into them at castle coombe. Welcome to the forum btw.

MK1Campaign 0 Posted May 25, 2008 Nice. The wheels suit it. Just needs lowering a little. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dizzydubbers_missis 0 Posted May 25, 2008 Its definately gonna be lowered cuz its a track car mainly, just havent decided on the suspension yet. I'm loving driving it so much it might get used for work for a while aswell. :grin: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sonicriot13 0 Posted May 25, 2008 No way. I almost bought this car! It is mean lookin and personally I like the wheels. I went for a G60 in the end. I looked at loads of VRs and even the real mint ones didn't jump out at me. Then I went to look at one G60 and ended up buying that straight away. :D I'll just always be more of a G60 person I guess. And welcome to the forum. :wave: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And welcome to the forum. :wave: I was looking for a G60 but cuz my hubby has a rallye that he is putting an r32 engine etc in i decided a vr would do me better when racing him round the track, as the plan is to supercharge it. Best of both worlds then. :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That sounds awesome! :D And it sounds like you need to start a build thread for your VR. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dizzydubbers_missis 0 Posted May 25, 2008 I might well start a build thread when it gets started. All i'm doing this year is getting it track ready, hopefully the supercharger will come next year. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adz The Rat 0 Posted May 25, 2008 Very nice Corrado, I think the wheels are very cool and suit it. Get some pics of the Rallye up too!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dizzydubbers_missis 0 Posted May 25, 2008 The r32 lump isnt in yet, hes already got the gearbox, prop shaft, rear difs etc, just saving the cash for the engine now, he is planing to twin charge it aswell, he says his aim is 700bph, which storm told him is doable. I have a feeling i'll be shatting myself in it :lol: I'm only aiming for 300bhp with my vr. Here's the rallye... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dizzydubbers_missis 0 Posted May 25, 2008 Very nice Corrado, I think the wheels are very cool and suit it. Get some pics of the Rallye up too!! What you guys think about the idea of painting the wheels matt black, with possibly mirrors and boot spolier to match as both need painting??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Veearrhsix 0 Posted May 26, 2008 I don't know why you'd want to do that - but if you had to, gloss black would seem the better option. Generally speaking, IMO rado = graceful. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
