thepigsknees 0 Posted August 8, 2008 Hi All, Just in the process of selling my 1.8T at the moment and when that's gone through I'm after a VR6 storm. I'm sure I'll be asking for lots of pointers in the future! Jonny Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrbeige 0 Posted August 8, 2008 Welcome and good luck with the search! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thepigsknees 0 Posted August 8, 2008 Cheers! Quite a lot of the Corrados I've seen state 'engine rebuild at xxx miles'. Does this mean it's back to new effectively, or does it mean a few nuts and bolts have been replaced and it's been cleaned out? I'll post this somewhere else if it's not the right forum!

mrbeige 0 Posted August 8, 2008 You'd need to find out to what form the rebuild took really. some will just be bearings (etc) and some will be cylinder reboring etc. Corrado Buying Guide might help you with your search. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steve @ 0 Posted August 8, 2008 Welcome. I came from a dull :sleeping: MKIV GTI to a VR6 corrado 3 years ago. You wont regret it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Leonard 0 Posted August 8, 2008 Dont get hung up about gettng a Storm. There a nice supercharged VR in the Classified right now. Yes that is nice! :notworthy: I personally wouldnt pay extra for different paint and a badge! :wink: And the speedline wheels are so much nicer than the bbs ones :D Just concetrate on finding the best one you can for your budget.

thepigsknees 0 Posted August 8, 2008 Yeah I have been thinking that I might be limiting myself just going for the storm. As long as I get a VR6 with leather interior and it's not red, then I'll be fine. Budget depends on what my car sells for, which could be anything in the current climate!

Jim Bowen 1 Posted August 8, 2008 welcome, good choice of car 8) if i was buying again i doubt i'd look for an unmolested original again, unless the owner was the kind that replaced a lot of things. i would rather buy one that a enthusiast has owned and loved, can get some good deals at the moment. seems like an endless list of "things to do" i have :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mattnorgrove 0 Posted August 11, 2008 Good luck with the search mate, and keep hold of the TT Comps you got on the MKIV, in my opinion, they look quite the part on a VR6, and are a direct fit. Oh, and welcome! :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adz The Rat 0 Posted August 11, 2008 Welcome to the forum!! You will love having a VR, much nicer than a MK4 Golf!! Like others have said you can find a better specced VR for lower price than a Storm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh, and welcome! :D Cheers. I sold the original wheels, so unless I find a cheap set, the wheels will go with my Golf :( No interest in my car yet as I think it's priced too high, so won't be getting rado'ed up in a hurry!

There's always a set fo MKIV alloys kicking around on evilbay, then you could sell me your Comps. :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
