Not wishing to teach anyone to suck eggs..... but......

Be very aware of mileage displays on modern digital dash cars..... alarmingly easy to change and knock 30-40k off the clock and it takes seconds. So make sure the mileage is backed up by history etc.

Also be aware of chain noise which is very obvious on R32 engines, thrashed from cold engines tend to rattle and shouldn't.

......my 2p.

Good luck with it Jon, awesome car the mk5 R32 :lol:

Thanks all for supporting us again in 2010. Have a warm and fuzzy one :lol: 8)

First time I've seen a sheet metal bending machine used for pressing beam bushes in..... top marks for lateral thinking.... it's a big press at the end of the day :D

Love the exhaust too! Shiney 8)

Don't panic Alex, we've waited over a week for a courier collection.

Apparently all the warehouses are backed up with un-delivered mail so no collections have been happening.

If it's a bone standard VR6 (from an engine mods point of view) then you could just send the ECU away to someone like DG Autotech for one of their off-the-shelf VR6 remaps. Got one in mine and it's very good! :)

 

Emailed DG and they gave me the idea that they only did on car remaps I will talk to them again, did the remap they did on your improve the midrange torque which is what I'm wanting to do. Have one high performance motor don't really want another.

Hi Phil,

Jim is correct. We don't offer a remote mapping service due to wanting to check the car over thoroughly before mapping. All Corrados are at least 15 years old now and can have running problems that the owner isn't even aware of. At the end of the day we want them running as good as possible when they leave us.

The last of these are now ready, I have 3. The connector stock seems to have run out at VW.

If you're not interested in them any more please say so and give somebody else a chance.

Guess the mileage?

8) Thanks Jude :D

Yeah right :lol:

Can't believe Jude isn't prepared........ Might have to withdraw her title of, "buffin girl" :lol:

Super shiney! Mrs B was after a mirror earlier to assist in drying her hair. Could you run over in the VRT to assist? :lol:

Nah what you need is a nice TT, much better for hair related stuff :lol:

Don't panic........it's not that great, just a clever photography 8)

DOH.... not had much time for this thread lately!

A few pre Classic Motor Show buffing pics.......

Just waiting on a few parts to complete the next few..... sorry for the delay. Dave

Thanks all 8)

It's taken far too long to get the new site upgrade moving.... so this has spurred me on quite a bit to get the this done finally!

Site is back up now.........

Hi All,

just wanted to let you all know that I had to take the CCGB website down today due to a spot of hacking going on.

Hopefully it didn't cause anybody any problems and will be back up soon.

Dave

Good luck with everything today Kip.

We have everything crossed for you ;)

You'll have the cylinder head in the dishwasher next......... oh yeh that was me.... dishwasher did stink of petrol for a few washes!!!!

:wave: erm this is rather embarrassing but between us Gray and I have 5 Corrados ATM.......most of them are in a state of being fixed-ness :lol: so only 2 actually on the roads around Worcestershire 8)

We do have meets from time to time and also gather with the guys and gals from Bristol / Hereford / Gloucestershire quite a lot throughout the year. It's about time we had another Worcester meet though. We had a great meet at the Chequers pub in Cutnall Green so maybe we should do that again soon.

drewie99 is in Stourbridge, Jaded is in Shrewsbury, Harry is in Evesham and quite a few others about.

Payment sent Alex.

Huge thanks for sorting this out :D

Pretty sure if I fitted a set of wheels to my sofa it would handle better than a Montego!

I've just watched this and think I'm going to trade in the VRT for one...... :lol:

Lol! I was just thinking about the infamous electric supercharger!

I reckon with the extra drain on the alternator it's probably +0% at idle and -20 at 6k :lol:

Hi Alex, can you put me on the list for 8 rollers please.

Let me know as soon as you need payment.

Cheers.

Dave
