Henny: just read back through the other pages, that was probably me on the m60. it makes a pretty serious noise since havin all the silencers took of for a straight through 3 inch section then a 4 inch slash cut box. The trek home from trafford parks a nightmare at that time and they decided to close of TWO OF THE THREE lanes, I think it had just opened into three again when i floored it. its nice to be noticed, thought i was the only one who remembered almost every time they saw another rado, but obviously not :)

I see a dark g60 in the ramsbottom/bolton area now an again. It actually destroyed me about a year back when i was out in my golf mk2 but got a rado a few moinths back ( see below) so would'nt mind a rematch.The one i see is blue or black with some nice wide bbs rims on it. An spotted a white g60 last nighton the way home from trafford park in the nightmare traffic, seen the car on auto trader recently so presume its the new owner, if it is congrats on a nice lookin buy. its white with 17" league alloys : plate MIB ***0. Mines the white 16v with the 9x16 brocks, 4ins jap style box, eyebrow spoiler, debadged grill an all red rear clusters : plate - G**2B LO Anywhoo see you around fellas.

when the lights are off on my '90 16v and i press the brake pedal, the right headlight comes on, i,ve resorted to driving around with the sidelights on to stop people thinking that i'm flashing at them. :?: any ideas :?:

ask them before you need the mot, at a local station. If they say its a fail you could have the back of the wheel machined down by a max of 5mm to make the fronts a 20 offset. If your in the manchester area give me a bell and i can arrange this for you if you need it. It should only cost about £20-30 quid but its better than a failed mot or havin to change your rims. :wink:

Thanks for the positive comments people its nice to know the cars not only enjoyed by me. VR6 corrado: i'm actually from ramsbottom ( yep that a real place ) its nearer to bury. Dubbprince: Yeah the grill is a custom made item and yeah the grill and spoiler are one piece. I'll get a pic of the back end up asap. Corradokid: only the tread of the tyres has to sit within the arches as far as i'm aware. I take it your running stretched tyres( i'm using 205/40/16's), i didnt have any problems with mot on the golf and the rims stuck out of the arches on that as well, however the front tread does sit out by about a centimetre at most on the corrado( at the very top ). i'm gonna see how it sits with the mot station and also wether it comes in under the arch once the cars dropped 100mm, obviously the arches will need to be rolled all round and probably pulled at the front.

here's a few pics of my new ( 1 month old rado ). i've added the rims, painted the rear lights full red and added a stainless system since buying it. next on the agenda is arch rollin and a 100mm drop like i ran on my mk2 golf on the same rims :D hope you like?
