Who knows any thing about M660 ggj Blackberry Vr6?

[Luisete 12]

Hi All

 

I'm the owner of a Blackberry Vr6 and i'm triyin g to find out more things about my car story.

 

Looking for information about it i have found 3 previous owners with activity on this forum

 

they are

 

Murdomac, KADvr6 and C488ADO.

 

I have found a lot of information about my car and all the job done on it is amazing.

 

Do you have any information before 2010 about this car? when it was automatic and when it had porsche seats?

 

At the moment i'm doing some work in the front axle changing some suspension and ABS components. I'll upload some pictures with all the job done.

 

Cheers

Cheers

Luis, I owned the car before C488ADO purchased it from me, it was an auto at the time but as far as Im aware never had porsche seats, It had grey recaros when I had it and i owned it for several years and used to show it on the cars stands at the VW shows im trying to remember when i sold it I definately owned it in 2008 as I have a photo of it at the house that I lived in then, I left there in 2010 and dont think I owned the car at that point, it was a very reluctant sale, a change of job meant I needed something newer and more reliable as I was going to see clients I searched for a long time before buying the car as she had to be a 95my blackberry vr6 the photo I have was taken 8th november 2008 showing the car 😉 also have a photo of her on the club stand at the tatton park show 4th jan 2009

Hi all. I'm still the owner of the vehicle. I have used It today!

It has been exported to Spain as I've moved back in 2019,that is the reason why appears as sorn.

The car still in very good condition as I keep It garaged over every winter and only use It when is dry & Sunny.

Have a look yo the pictures, un one of them you can see the spanish registration plate. That's how the car looks at the moment.

During my ownership I've fully restored the cream leather recaro, fitted original dash dials back, leather  steering wheel, genuine bbs RS.

On the exterior , Removed rear clear inpro tailights and fitted the original back, front 90mm spoiler , yellow high Beam bulbs covers and vr6 front badge.

For the engine... Shrick manifold and remap at Stealth.

The car had a couple of mechanical familiares but nothing mayor, thermostat housing crack, alternativa and adicional eléctric coolant pump had a leak.

Next winter I'm planning to take engine out, subframe, wishbones, rear acle and get everything sandblasted and powercoated and fit everything back.

Hope I'll update all the progress here,

M660GGJ still Alive guys! Currently is showing 148k miles on the clock

 

BEST regards

Luis

Still looking sharp and possibly the only BBS style of alloy I like on a Corrado - top work. What are they? 16s I can see they are staggered/

[Luisete 12]

Was my home town- was a lot of car for the money that.  Good to see the car in good condition and money spent in the correct places.
