dukest 0 Posted May 2, 2009 well, having never got round to starting a members gallery for my existing car, i thought maybe a sneaky one for a new purchase might be in order.. it will be a little short-lived or at least brief with then a long gap as the car's future state is uncertain :norty: but for the moment i have a moonlight blue automatic VR with electric recaros, aircon and headlight washers :camp: which may be making an appearance at stanford tomorrow :grin: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The_Dude 0 Posted May 2, 2009 Mmm, fresh. 8) Looks in good nick, let's hope it doesn't stay around too long. :wink: :D I imagine the auto will be good for driving thru London tomorrow. Though I wonder how it will cope with your enthusiastic driving thru the twisties? :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dukest 0 Posted May 3, 2009 well it was sold with the autobox acknowledged as not being quite perfect, and although it is quite cool to just plant your foot and go, it is easily "confused" and probably in need of a bit of attention! is interesting to drive a car on standard suspension for the first time and realise the ride isn't that much better than on my Koni/H&Rs too.

Mawrick 0 Posted May 3, 2009 What you recon on the suspension yourself, I'm having a dabble with myselfe either go back to original suspension (trying to keep it as original as possible), or going for some of the KW's suspensions..........I want "driveability" not "kidney crusher"......:) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joebloggsVR69 0 Posted May 3, 2009 Ah, this must be the one that was on ebay ;) Must admit, I was eyeing it up too! :lol: Couldnt really justify buying another corrado, I have 2 already... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Leonard 0 Posted May 3, 2009 Whats with the mahoosive washer bottle? :confused4: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GlosterOx 0 Posted May 3, 2009 If it is fitted with H/L Washers I think the washer bottle is increased to something like 7 Lt capacity. Ian. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Goldie 2 Posted May 3, 2009 Some very nice goodies to move to your other one.. Seats, AC, washes all desireable items.. Nice position to be in John... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dukest 0 Posted May 3, 2009 sadly, much as it was the seats that drew me to it, i can't really afford to keep them, so those and the engine are going to a certain forum interior whore :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KADVR6 0 Posted May 3, 2009 sadly, much as it was the seats that drew me to it, i can't really afford to keep them, so those and the engine are going to a certain forum interior whore :D :wave: and great seats they are, its only taken about 5 years to get a set of those particular recaro's.

til2143 0 Posted May 3, 2009 Was eyeing up that one too, great spec and cool recaros, them particular recaros seem to be very rare :? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yandards 0 Posted May 4, 2009 Yeah I must confess to looking at that too. Shame to break it up John, aside from the box it looks like a very tidy car in the pictures. I did look at the autobox fault, unfortunately you need to change the servo pack and its about £400 for one... Although you can get a manual box and ancils for bugger all money, fit that, swap some standard interior over and flog the whole car for about what you paid for it. That way another decent car is saved, Karl has too many engines anyway :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dukest 0 Posted May 4, 2009 yeah, i'm not planning to fully break it unless strictly necessary - have another temporary interior lined up and if things stay ok with work then it will be getting converted, possibly with a more modern engine. maybe a project for DG Autotech ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
