aide 0 Posted August 24, 2009 nice look on borbets :salute: how'd you find the engine, ever had rr'd? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Terencem215 0 Posted August 25, 2009 nice look on borbets :salute: how'd you find the engine, ever had rr'd? Thanx, The car came with the engine found the car on PH for 1300, so i gave him 1100 Was a bargain really the interior is almost mint.. almost untouched. I have had it on the rollers. it was 147.5BHP Bit underpowered really. But the car has absolutley no history. So i doubt it was serviced.. EVER. lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aide 0 Posted August 25, 2009 that seems low, but suppose a lot depends on the rollers calibration, from what i've read you could expect 10 - 20 bhp more from a 2litre kjet, am hoping anyway as that's what i'm doing! maybe could do with a tune up you got a bargain there tho Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Terencem215 0 Posted September 2, 2009 Finally got some frickin coilovers. Got me some Brand new weitec hicon gt's at an absolute bargain price of £275 Wanted to fit them earlier but it was raining :( So they gonna have to wait till tomorrow. But got a few extra bits to do aswell and did a few earlier when the rain stopped. Did an oil and filter change. Aswell as replacing a temperature sensor. Got some g12 as it has the top hose flange on the block is leaking, got a new one to fit, maybe do that tomorrow. Some pics: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aide 0 Posted September 9, 2009 looking good, read a few threads on here about guys getting nicked for running those plates tho - not too sure of the issue tho was thinking about your power there recently, is your's just the gti head or the whole gti engineered engine? if the latter there is defo something up.

cdem 0 Posted September 9, 2009 Looks wicked on the Borbets :D I used to run plates the same and got pulled and fined for them and a mot check thing to say id changed to legal plates....took them about 6 months to do me though and i wasnt running a front plate so you might be lucky!

REDTOm 0 Posted October 3, 2009 remember your bhp printout was ATW you africano. And i found a nice corsa for you aswell like you asked me to the other day when you said you are fed up with the shocking VWs and wanted to switch to vauxhall. Although like you also said it doesnt take a lot to find a nicer corsa than a corrado. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RedRado 0 Posted October 22, 2009 I am really chuffed to see this car still going strong - I first came across it when I went to look at it in 1995 when it was for sale just outside Cambridge. We were so impressed with the way it put down the power with the GTI Engineering conversion that my friend Andrew bought it taking it to to live in Ipswich for a few years before moving on to a G60. The torque of that 2 litre valver is awesome. Hope it goes on for a good deal longer. Dave. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
