    Hi Mate,

     

    I'm from leeds, but moved down to Birmingham - i found (with help from this forum) a garage called DG autotech, in Kidderminster. - maybe too far away for you, but they are without doubt my number 1. 2 guys, 3 corrado's! they do a lot of work on showcars for the BIG GUNS on here!

    good luck!

     

    Erm sorry..... it's now 4 Corrados.....sorry can't help it :lol:

    Just out of curiosity, what's the best economy anyone has recorded on a VR6?!

     

    Most I've ever had personally is 34.5...

     

    Road trip looks amazing by the way, a friend of mine in his S4 and myself in my VR6 are planning on doing something similar this summer, so thanks for the pointers! 8)

    By all acounts CrazyDave got 40mpg out of his VRT on a road trip to the nurburgring ring

     

    Sorry Jake, only 35mpg 8) Still amazing! Valver regularly gets 40 though :D

     

    Good trip that! Time to dig out the tunnel videos again!

    Large union jacks on the roof in 'The Who' style......... :wink:

    Yeah but it's a reversable mod ('scuse the pun) ...... it's only stick on and at the worst the car would need a bit of paint when it's removed, maybe only a good polish :)

     

    Yes but couldn't resist!

     

    I too have a large box of bits in my shed just in case I want to go back to standard. It's a very tongue in check joke, 'going back to standard' cos I can't ever see that happening and I seem to be letting a few bits wonder off to different parts of the country. The latest one being OSV now wears my old inlet manifold!

     

    I still can't quite bring myself to remove the orange indicators! They just seem right.....

    Fay has just had KW V1 Inox fitted, a really good mix of ride comfort and handling improvement. Clicky The ride is firm over a standard car but the improvement in handling is way worth it. They are one of the smoothest riding coilover kits you can get, most are much too hard.

     

    I had a go in Fay's car today. At first I was a little bit worried that they would be too hard. They felt harder than my Koni/Pi setup, but on the move they are really supple, the damping is spot on, and I was attacking corners even faster than I would have in my own car.

     

    I think I might be buying some at some point. :)

     

    On my suspension test route, their is a stretch of dual carriageway with a fast left hander with a dip in the tarmac mid corner. My Koni / Pi and most others I've driven almost bounce from the inside lane to the outside when driving over. The KW's just soak it up without any drama at all... not found anything better yet 8)

    Weitec GTN are also very very good but you can't get them as low as some people like (the rear damper only has fixed collar adjustment in steps), that said the lowest rear setting is perfect for UK roads and the best handling compromise anyway. The cost saving is obviously pretty good if your not worried about having stainless bodies, copper slip them up and you'll be able to move them in 12 months.

    Controller arrived Mr Torque, thanks. Glad you sent it over the enclosure is a little bit smaller than the VR one so my board has to shrink to accommodate both.

     

    I've converted my VR fan controller to the new design and it's all working on the bench. 3 speeds, pump run on etc so it's time for a bit of live testing on the VR. I'll let you all know how it goes. Really weird listening to the fan when it's ramping to the different speeds, has a servo whistle to it that's kind of cool. Yeh I'm sad I know :lol:
