Unfortuanlty my ex's mother reversered into it, and it was a write off. Lewis (Redrado) bought it off me for a part exchange with his 3.0 Grantmotorsport Corrado VR6. Two weeks later Mike (jenksndubs) and I swapped. He now owns the 3.0litre Corrado and making good use of it, and I took possession of this little number.

It's a L plate supercharged VR6 with just over 100k on the clock. Some of you may remember this car from a while back. All the work has been carried out at Stealth so I know it's been well looked after, and the receipts show this. It's had a fair bit of work done to it before I bought it, including audi door handles, side repeaters deleted, koni suspension, custom boot install, supercharger and loads more. The orginal blue actantara and black leather interior was sold andI bought a cream Storm interior off Mike (jenksndubs) which Andy (justsaymeth) was kind enough to fit for me.

 

I've also replaced the supersprint exhaust with a miltek number, ordered a de-badged grill and got some red rears tailights to fit. I've also sourced some RH ZW1's 9's and the rear with 8's at the front and stainless steal dishes which I'll be picking up later in the week.

 

Anyone have any ideas oen the lack of power? Mapping? Fueling? Charger? The charger only has 15k on from new.

 

I'll get some better pictures up later in the week.

 

Cheers

 

Kris

Well wee update, after realising there was a problem with the fueling and she was running lean I decided to take her down to see Vince at Stealth. After a near enough head rebuilt including valve stem seals and a remap I can honestly say she is a different car. Drives alot better and feels strong. She was also RR whereby she produced 265bhp.

 

I've fitted some RH ZW1's with stainless steel dishes and new taillights and a 90mm front spiltter. Car is now off to get some paint correction and a machine polish in prepartion for Edition38.

 

I've attached some links to pictures of her. (Don't know how to rezise them to appear on this post)

 

Comments and constructive critism welcome.

 

Cheers

 

Kris

I remember this car when it was magazine featured and owned by Tom Ingram. I've got the article in a folder here at home. I recall seeing the MJ Interiors alcantara interior come up for sale somewhere quite recently too (on here?). Was always a lovely car, fitted with BBS 301s and that gorgeous BBS steering wheel. What happened to that?

 

Glad you have sorted out the running problems, matey. Running lean is BAD! Pleased Vince sorted it out for you. What size pulley are you running to get 265bhp? Was that recorded on Vince's rollers? Looks like tha car is well cared for with a good garage to hide her in, and I like your choice of rims. I owned a set of those (although not 9s) for a time until last Summer, and I still miss them. Enjoy.

Cheers folks,

 

She had to get a new idler pulley and a new belt put on, couldn't tell you what size this was though. Is there old pcitures of her back in the day? Would love to read the feature when Tom built her up.

I wouldn't go to this trouble for just any car!
