sexybourbon 0 Posted October 2, 2011 (edited) hi just thaught id start a new build thread for the new vr, travelled up to market harbrough two sundays ago after seeing this for sale on ebay while i was waiting to catch my plain in manchester airport to go on holiday , had a few words with the owner and i said if its still there when i came back i would come view it ,after i came back it was still for sale and off of ebay so without even seeing it other than in photos i went to bank got a loan and then swapped my insurance over from the valver and off we went to have a look .......and drove it back the same day heres a quik spec nothing special but its a start 93 corrado vr6 98 000 miles full black cloth interior in immaculate condition ,not a rip scratch or tear anywere crappy air filter jom coilovers what i think is a magnex back box its been faultless im chuffed to bits with it and every chance to go out in it i take the sounds is amazing and it feels really nice and easy to drive more so than the valver iv been camping in it this weekend and managed some how to get a very respectable 39.5 mpg out of her lol. future plans are undecided yet but im trying to keep this one standard looking , going to refurb all the brakes and change the jom coilovers for some weitecs i think ,ill be changing the induction kit as soon as possible , a full service is on its way including gearbox oil change , ill refurb the wheels with a nice new colour or if i cant resist maybe some new wheels .....iv already been looking , think i might have a de cat of swift kid and hopefully ill get a full system on there aswell. other than that just cleaning it up as much as possible going to do the inner arches soon and waxoil them up , i want to keep this as clean as pos as theres no rust what so ever on the car wich im rather happy about ill be keeping this updated as much as poss so any comments are apreiciated and sorry if the pics are crap i cant resize them right at the moment for some reason anyway here it is Edited June 18, 2015 by sexybourbon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
