CorradoVR6-Turbo

S3 build....from 6 to 4 cylinders-doh!

Recommended Posts

Yes its not a corrado but its still german!

 

1999 Imola Yelow S3 pre facelift,very tidy,only one tiny dent and bloody good paint!

 

Traveled to north wales to get it off a chap from Audi sport.net,it was worth the trip the car has all the mods i would have done to it at some point.

 

Revo stage 2, SPS3, RS6 reps, Pirelli P Zero Rosso, Cupra R splitter, Brembo's, 323mm EBC Turbo Grooved Discs, Ferrodo DS2500 Pads, Forge DV, Forge FMIC, Fidanza Aluminium Flywheel, Sachs Clutch, Green Cotton Dynatwist induction kit, 3" Downpipe,200cel sports cat, Milltek cat back, Bilstein B8's, KW rear adjustable tie bars ,Whiteline Adjustable ARB's, Eibach Springs, Powerflex Bushes,braided hoses etc....

 

It goes very well indeed and the box is super smooth,and has so much grip it truly amazes me,stading still,rev 6k rpm,esp off and drop the clutch and no wheel spin just hurdles you forward...im in love.

 

Not a corrado but defo aworthy car to step up to..

 

Just going to change the wheels and change the chrome to black.

Nice one, as I said I loved mine. Very quick point to point cars. I had some 18in MTM Bimoto reps on and they looked brilliant plus plenty of room for big brakes. Only thing I had to do on mine was CCT.

Thaks folks,im loving driving this all over the place and as a daily car its superb! its one of the top cars ive owned so far...bar the raddo of course :tongue:

 

As for performance Mr H its around 270hp plenty to go about as a daily without being to heavy on the fuel,but you can 100% use all that power so its a fun car!

I've remember my S3 on GT28RS having close to 350 ps. It was a very scary fast car but Corrado always will be Corrado and I can't meet old lady driving it like I use to have met few times in Audi S3.

 

Good luck. Best colour to buy :)

Looks like a really clean example, full leather looks far better than the bi coloured alcantara centred seats. You must have drawn up a list of plans by now you can't help yourself

Was just going to ask about the top of the 3/4's as there quite common for issue up there. Looking good. Found this pic on my computer, perfect wheels for the S3.
