oh dear, i am guessing you are unaware that they can be an issue with most corrado's

oooo nice work Spen!

 

did you get a remap to take advantage of them too?

 

if yes, what was your result? i had mine mapped before i got the Longlife SS exhaust, it would have been nice to have had it after but funds wouldnt allow. mine made 209.6 with the 263's & BMC

 

oh & how are you liking the mod?

Were they expensive to replace??

i believe so, even back when they were available

 

i was told by the guy who i got my VR off that he had put one of the last genuine new cassettes in from VW shortly before i brought it about 7 years ago

 

there are threads about replacing the cassette with ones from other vehicles, which might give you an option if you cant repair your current one, however IIRC they are getting harder to find too

It's AWESOME! completely different drive to what I had before, I got 219.8 with the 263's amd BMC plus sports cat, now badly need to upgrade the brakes...rear MK4's and got some S3's for the front hopefully next week, spending a fortune by the way!

very tidy! that figure is now making me think about another map to take advantage of my exhaust lol

 

the difference in power delivery is superb isnt it :)

 

yup big brakes help - i am loving my new HiSpec Billet 4's! a world away from OE front brakes

I found the improvement in performance from fitting the 263s essentially equivalent to the difference between driving the car with a passenger and a full tank of fuel and the performance when driving alone with only a whiff left in the tank. I.e. equivalent to removing 100+kg of weight. I also have a schrick fitted so bingo, 215 lbft to go with my 215 bhp. :)

 

 

A Corrado is for life, not just for the MOT.

Apparently the B3 Passat estate roof fits.... probably as rare as the Corrado roof....
