robbier32 10 Posted October 22, 2013 Hi All, I was recently told by robrado69 to pull my finger out and start a thread. so here it is. Have been in the dub seen since I bought my first (of Many) Mk2 golfs in 1995 at 17 years of age! At 18 traded up for a mk1 gti! Spent 7 years of my life with this car and loved every minuite. In 2003 the Corrado affair began and I bought a DBP Vr6! Now owned by robrado69 since 2008. Had a flirt With an Mk4 R32 for 4 years and now back to Corrado ownership. [ATTACH=CONFIG]76123[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]76124[/ATTACH] Current Corrado is Vr6 with a few body and engine mods. I purchased the car from 8vMatt around 18 months ago and to be honest havnt done alot to it thus far aside from consumables. [ATTACH=CONFIG]76122[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]76130[/ATTACH] Current performance Mods are BMC CDA induction Magnex catback exhaust Porcha 4pots up front 312mm discs Mk4 rear calipers Lupo wiper conversion Current body mods Respray in Mystic blue Door plastic trim delete Rear wiper delete Colour coded front grill. Interior Full storm black leather Momo wheel Classic Kenwood krc tape deck! Still goin strong from when I bought it new in 98! Door speaker upgrade Custom 6x9 install in boot (curtesy of 8vMatt) As for the future.... Abot 2 years ago I went on a road trip with 8vMatt upto the big smoke to see Johnny and his VR6. Matt purchased the engine and box from his car and we dragged it (Headlights to the sky) back to sunny devon where it has been stored in my lock up until recently. A couple of months back I accuired the engine from Matt stripped it and put back together as the rocker cover gasket was leaking and a few of the coolant rubbers didnt look too clever and It had a new water pump. [ATTACH=CONFIG]76125[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]76126[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]76127[/ATTACH] Its a Vege recon unit which has done 40k. It Has Neuspeed pullies and is suppose to have shimmel cams. I took some pics before The rocker went back on. I couldnt find any signs they where aftermarket but then again ive never seen a standard set! So if anyone can shed some light I would be gratefull [ATTACH=CONFIG]76131[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]76128[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]76129[/ATTACH] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
8vMatt 1 Posted October 22, 2013 Damn fine car you've got yourself Rob!!! I can't wait to go out in it once the engine goes in! Just to clarify the disc size for you bud incase you wear them out, they are 323mm Seat Leon Cupra discs. The biggest bugger discs you can sensibly fit on a Corrado. More pics and bigger please!
