    Corrado vr6 turbo for sale, I’ve had this car nearly over 10 years now it’s been a good car but in recent years it’s just been sitting on my driveway so the time has come to sell it.

    The car is SORN and has been off the road about 5-6 years but I have been starting it on/off every month or so in that time. It runs, all the old fuel has been drained and it’s got a new fuel filter, as well as a brand new crank sensor.

    The bigger problem with this car is the body work might look ok in the pictures, but it’s an old car it has nicks, dents, scratches really could do with a session with ChipsAway. The car is using the standard ECU run’s like any other vr6, and comes with red tops separate if you want to put it in boost.

     

    Here’s a vid when it was running in boost

     

    I am the third owner it comes with Part Service History, Documents and all receipts are available.

    Trim

     

    Toad ai606 Alarm CAT 1 Thatcham Approved

    Heated Leather seats working

    DynoTune Gauge digital (not working)

    Boost Gauge autometer

    Manual Fan trigger switch

    Side repeaters clear

     

    Bad Points

     

    Car is SORN Will need to be towed/picked up

    Car is not mapped, but will come with 360cc Saab red tops

    Front/Rear Bumpers/Bonnet needs re-spraying also passenger door

    Dent in Bonnet & Front Panel also general stone chips

    Little Paint bubble passenger front side wing, slight rust on driver’s door

    Wheels need respraying not a problem if you are changing them

    Could do will an oil/filter change

    Sunroof 1 of the aluminium clips is broke (common problem), motor is fine

    Driver’s door pin has come loose

    Front fog lights not working possible fuse/relay or blubs

    Needs a new Battery it is Kaput

    Throttle body plug needs re-wiring has broken

    Clutch fluid slow leak, possible master cylinder/salve or could just need a bleed

    Driver’s side repeater blub needs replacing

    Needs front and rear wiper blades replacing

     

    So the car runs, but doesn’t start on the 1st try when I connect the battery, turn the key a second time with a little throttle it fires up, possible compression, throttle body or battery problem, I’m not sure.

     

    I’ve tried to be honest with everything that I am aware off, the leather interior is in good condition along with the mechanicals this car during the years has been great to own, just the body work needs addressing and the turbo mapping.

     

     

    Reason for selling

     

    Time for a change I’ve had the car for 12 years along time and I don’t really use it anymore also I’ve been out of work for a while now and can’t afford to run it.

    I'm still getting fairly bad bump steer on my TDI, other than this I am very happy with the setup / handling... it's just poor roads really that throw it...

     

    On the R32 / LCR and other newer VAG cars with sports suspension the track rod ends point up rather than down... this keeps the rods themselves more parallel and (I think) less prone to the effect known as bump-steer

     

    Obviously it would throw the tracking out I would think but what do people think about lowered Corrado's running like this - anyone tried it or have a reasons why it wouldn't work??

     

    I'm running R32 hubs on my corrado, TRE's pointing up :wink:

     

    Yep it has sufficiently reduce bump steer, would be nice upgrade for your TDI.

    Cheers for the comments....

     

    nice one, must have been cool trying out the suspension geometry on the ring 8) How did the car feel?

     

    The Car felt great, steering is quick and responsive. Understeer is still there though until i source some anti-roll bars and rear strut brace :wink:

     

    Awesome. First time I've seen your car properly and that is one meaty intercooleryou've got there :D

     

    Corrados look great used in anger!

     

    Yea the intercooler totally transforms the appearance on my C, but its not just for looks the amount of air that hits the intercooler at speed is pretty obvious. But the amount of air that now gets to my radiator is really crazy, i can't remember what i used to get on the motorway before, but now my temp stays between 70 - 75 degrees.

     

    Great stuff Tony! Looks like you had a great time, just like the rest of the ringers :)

     

    Still haven't found any track photos of mine yet :( Those carousel shots look great.

     

    Can't wait to go back again eh?

     

    Cheers Dave,

     

    Yeah may be another trip sometime next year, but we'll have to see.

    This is a good example to show how wide parts of the track are.
