Cheers guys, its great handling better feels so much sharper. Im getting a little grinding of the cat heat shield on my driveway slope but not excessive, and the firmer ride is making the exhaust bump the axle so I'll tighten up the clamps. Overall though chuffed!!!

 

Love the way it looks now :-)

lovely, will need to get myself a set of the 17" speedlines

[Pete 0]

Finally got around to washing the car, first time since feb or march maybe?

 

[Billzeebub 1]

Your car looks sensational mate. I love the OEM look with the larger Speedlines. I have gotta get myself some of those. They just look so intrinsically right on the C..

 

..think I may try and get the same wheels but in 16s

Thanks mate, I'm not getting any rubbing issues at all, the geo has been done properly and the car runs a little camber at the front and less at back.

 

My wheels are 7 and no spacers which probably help a lot...

I think I'm getting old. I think the alloys are a touch too big at 17".

 

Don't listen to me though, I think the car looks great :salute:

[Pete 0]

You can never go too big :-)

Not strictly thread related but took the VX220 to llandow last weekend for a track day, good fun. Couple of pics...

 

My mate driving, I must be mad!

 

 

 

Out of the way please :)

VR6 | Flash Red | Swansea

Price: £4750

Description:

Hi guys ive bitten the bullet and bought a new car so the vw is getting tucked up in the garage and put up for sale.

 

The full details of my car are here

 

August '94 car

Flash red with black cloth. No wear on the seats AT ALL

2 previous keepers

84800 miles

Mot to April '13

No tax at present only until the end of January.

All history vw and specialist (serviced last in April)

All manuals, documents, piles of receipts etc

Both keys and fobs for alarm

New windscreen fitted jan '12

New battery last summer can't remember exactly when

New 4bar Bosch fuel pump fitted feb 2012

I have owned the car since aug '10 and the previous owner had it from 2001.

 

Price wise I'm happy to negotiate on individual items but the options include:

Private plate M5 VVX (car is M plate)

Active Kenwood sub SW01

Alpine Bluetooth USB mp3 cd head unit 133BT (or Sony 5555)

Alpine G series 5.25 components and 6x4s

17" Speedline Challenge 2110 OEM wheels with 6mm+ kumho 39 tyres (or 15" originals all decent tyres, one like new)

BMC CDA carbon induction kit (or OEM) sounds fantastic with a replacement VW standard exhaust which was fitted around 2004.

AMD ECU with printed dyno of 209.3bhp at flywheel, 167.2 at wheels at 5835rpm. Torque 199lb/ft at 5072 rpm.

Recaro seats on custom corrado subframes

 

Car will come with the 288mm brakes and weitec coilovers due to the hassle in removing them.

 

OEM speakers and suspension can be included. Recent engine mount upgrade to the group buy poly mounts and a rubber gearbox mount.

 

Lots of spares and tools. Including:-

HT leads and removal tool

Spark plug removal wrench for deep seated VR6 plugs

Crank sensor

Cassette tape holder

BMC panel filter

VR6 boot badge

Like new alloy spare 15"

 

For the car as-is and all spares etc I'm looking for £4000

 

After the coilovers were fitted the car had 2 geo alignment sessions at Dave Coe rally specialist in Swansea and is spot on.

 

Engine is quiet and uses no oil at all, moves steadily up to around 106 deg and never higher. Lovely overrun pops with the remap too

 

Clutch is crisp with nice bite though if I'm picky there is a littel slip and the throttle cable could do with a grease. The gearbox is smooth and pull is strong and never pops out or anything nasty like that.

 

All the electrics work, inc sunroof tile and slide, spoiler, abs light etc.

 

Alarm has total closure to sunroof and windows.

 

Car had a full respray last year due to a shopping trolley bump and because I was itching to get it done. Work was done by Customagic in

south Wales who are a full respray specialist and took out the glass and all outside trim etc. Not a dirty blow over lol. If honest the paint needs a polish as there are some machince polish swirls on the passenger wings but an easy fix I just don't trust myself to do it and it's not bothered me enough to get it detailed out. Nice to see a red corrado that's not pink lol.

 

Im sure I have forgotten something which will come to me later, so feel free to either pm me or give me a ring on 079-555.436 48.

 

I'll put some pics up here but more are on the build thread and I can email anything specific.

Thanks mark :)

[Dougie S 10]

car looks great, could you possibly let me know how much you would be after without any of the optional extras? thanks.

[Pete 0]

Hi what exactly do you want spec wise?

[Dougie S 10]

Basically, without any of the things on your optional list or the spares. Just the parts you indicated would be too much hassle to remove. Thanks.

[Pete 0]

Hi guys car is back for sale as I have a Lexus IS250 coming next week. Cr will be garaged and moth balled until sold but ie reduced the price to 4k with soooo many spares you'll need a spare car to take them all away! Lol.

 

Get in touch if you want to discuss prices, as the parts are also available separately if you want anything get in touch with an offer.

 

Cheers,

Pete.

Morning all.

 

My inbox it overfloweth lol, mainly with enquirys on parts. But 2 on the car.

 

I'm going to reply on the car ones first as its the bulk of the money then I'll get through the rest so please bear with me...

 

Cheers,

Pete.

[Pete 0]

Right chaps I'm giving the sale another whirl after several phone calls and not much action.

 

I really want the car gone to be honest am more negotiable on price, so feel free to be cheeky and disappointed lol.

 

Cheers,

Pete.

Hi all just a quick bump had some nibbles but noone is biting yet. Always knew this would take some time to sell but the cars doesn't owe me any money and it's not eating anything in storage, plus it's too damn good to let go for peanuts!

 

I going to put the car on pistonheads or eBay on the weekend but I would sell the car with all the bits for 3500 or for less with less spares etc all can be discussed on a part by part basis.

 

Feel free to contact me if your interested. Cheers.

[Byrd 10]

If I lived in the UK, I would have it off you in a flash! In fact with all the great cars that come up for sale on the forum, and the prices they are going for, I might move there just to feed my Corrado habit. Man those wheels do it for me 100%.................Good luck with the sale!!! PS Here is SA, for 3000GBP, you would get a 250 000 mile Golf 3 1600 beaten into eternity.........................

[Pete 0]

Haha import it!
