TanVr6 0 Posted May 6, 2017 Quick question Looking at getting another set of wheels for the VR. Does anyone have experience with BBS CH006's, 17x8.5, ET35, 5x100? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sean_Jaymo 0 Posted May 6, 2017 Yeah, they fit well and flush but arches need rolling slightly or fit stretched tyres. I used to have a set but Mic_vr still has his fitted. Sent from my ONE A2003 using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sent from my ONE A2003 using Tapatalk Thanks My RS 301s with wider tyres 225/35/17 Used to rub quite bad, not sure if it was the offset or just too wide for the car. Ill take a chance with them.

TanVr6 0 Posted March 2, 2018 2018... 30th Anniversary of the Corrado! Time to get the Rado out of the garage and attend some shows!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TanVr6 0 Posted March 2, 2018 I think its time I worked on the engine bay. Looking a bit old and tired! Ill start with removing the manifold and rocker cover and getting them polished and looking like new... Also change the leads and spark plugs while im at it! Bremi leads in Red? Bosch plugs or ngk or denso? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Geeba 0 Posted March 2, 2018 Hi Tan The Eastwood Aluma-Blast paint is good if you didnt want to polish everything... ;) https://www.frost.co.uk/eastwood-aluma-blast-paint-340g.html?gclid=Cj0KCQiAieTUBRCaARIsAHeLDCR7QzWOTOQPlMLn49DSEEhYU30xENYiwc_cUoHQNAJbbc3HNV0G6o8aAlMpEALw_wcB I did the rocker/cam cover on mine with it... really good finish Apparently just the standard NGK are the best plugs for the VR lump, from what I'v read it doesnt like the expensive ones as much.

TanVr6 0 Posted March 8, 2018 Stealth have told me that the Bosch plugs are best from an Audi TT Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TanVr6 0 Posted August 31, 2020 Been a while since I added to this thread. Been busy with other work projects. But time to show some love to the Rado!!! Ordered a few new bits and a shiny new aluminum Rad for some better cooling hopefully! After booking her into my local garage, we have noticed a few other bits that need attention! So ordered some more parts from VW HeritageIncluding New water pump, Samco Hoses, oil cooler pipe, temp sensor etc. I will keep u guys posted with the progress!

g0ldf1ng3r 15 Posted September 1, 2020 nice tan FYI i would recommend retaining the constant tension clips on the hoses rather than use jubilee clips Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
