Wish it was, I'd have bought one.......been on the lookout for one at what I'd consider the right price (or more importantly what SWMBO would consider the right price) for almost twenty years!

Wow, that's strong money, I bought mine for about half that a few years ago on eBay.de!

I ran my Schrick 268s and inlet manifold with OBD1 ECU and have since run the same cams with standard inlet manifold and OBD2 ECU without remapping either. You might not be getting the absolute best out of the cams but they should be fine to run on until you get the exhaust and a remap done.

Getting the cams done while it’s in bits is a no brainer, no point pulling it down again later. The exhaust is just a bolt on and can be done at any time when funds allow.

My first car was a Hillman Imp with a full race Greetham 998 engine in it, for some reason there was a concentration of Greetham Imps in Chesterfield when I was in my late teens.....a lot of years ago, great car in it's day! Spent more money on it than I care to remember (rather like the Corrado), it was pretty special by the time I sold it but had been pulled out of a snow drift when I bought it. Can't find any photos of my own but this was shortly after we went our separate ways. [ATTACH=CONFIG]97098[/ATTACH] The latest photo I have found it seems to be white although it was green all the time I had it, also like my Corrado. [ATTACH=CONFIG]97099[/ATTACH]

Next but one to me at Stanford Hall, definitely the same car, couldn't mistake the interior! [ATTACH=CONFIG]97095[/ATTACH]

Here you go Sam, the best photo I could find with the roof rack fitted. [ATTACH=CONFIG]97094[/ATTACH]

Blue VR6 pulling into the Horse & Groom at Scarcliffe tonight for the classic car meet, I'd have followed you in but I was driving the Freelander 2, hardly classic car material :scratch:

And if it’s anything like mine, it’s really easy to cross thread and almost impossible to fit right when refitting it. Of course when it’s not right it leaks fuel all over the floor when I fill up so I can tell straight away!

Good day out today, nice to meet a few old faces and also see that the Corrado continues to attract new followers. Didn’t get to speak to the owner of “the red restored VR6” as he was busy with others but wow, I remember looking at brand new cars in the dealer’s showrooms twenty five years ago that weren’t that good!!!

Nice to see another one out of hibernation! I have a Thule roofrack that I’ve no intention of using again going begging. I’m close to M1 J30 if it’s convenient for collection?

I googled it and found a guide to making one. It was a bit of a faff using the flat spring steel from a wiper blade and plenty of careful filing but it did do the job when I had to swap the plug from one of the lambda sensors on the TT.

Congratulations on your new car, I like your style with a 1,200+ mile test drive! Mate of mine bought an old 911 Targa from California a couple of years ago and is still scared to drive it beyond the end of the street! What plans do you have for it?

Sorry, missed your original post! I have a BMW R1200 GSA on an 09 plate with 58K miles on it. Passed my bike test in 1981 about four months before I passed my car test and currently paying about 120 for insurance! Love the bike and use it as much as possible for work, holidays, nipping to the shop for beer etc. The GS is great for doing the miles, think nothing to five or six hundred miles in a day, did a holiday to Greece on it a few years ago, looking forward to the next road trip.

Hasan, I bought two 8N0407181B from VW in 2012 for the wishbone rears, 17.20 +VAT each. Poly bushed the fronts. Cheers Tony

He did a full respray on mine but I don’t think he enjoyed it very much, it was in his shop two years! He prefers to do accident repairs and jobs he can turn around in couple of days rather than committing a full month to one car.

My mate did mine, he could be very close to you if you're near Sheffield as he's in Staveley. Did it the way VW should have originally, makes a much better job although he did say it took him two days to get it right!

Good skills!

Looks just like the one I fitted, bought from ECP, and mine's a May 95 so there's not too many later. Not the most pleasant job you'll ever do, getting the pump assy out of and back into the bayonet fitting on the bottom of the tank wrist deep in fuel! Make sure you get the seal, cover and clamping ring fitted properly on the top of the tank when you're finished, mine was on cross threaded and leaked fuel out the top of the tank when full.

T68 is the ECU plug as identified on the wiring drawings, T68/6 is just pin 6 on that plug as you suggested. Do you have a copy of the Golf wiring diagram? If not, PM me an email address and I'll forward the set I used when I did my OBD2. I just click the insert image button in the reply box which opens a window asking which image I want to attach, as long as the photo is small enough it attaches, never had a problem. Not sure if it works on the phone but I'm never far from my MacBook anyway!

This is probably the limit of what I should do tonight whilst containing a number of G&Ts but there is a Yellow/Blue wire in T68/6! I could bell this out to G1/3 over the weekend if you really need it, but it's not like getting to the plugs on the back of the fuse/relay board is the nicest job on a Corrado is it!

Just went and had a look, there's definitely no pin in 38 on the ECU plug! I've no idea of the car the loom came from as I bought a box of bits for the OBD2 but it runs fine.

I’ll take a look at mine in the morning if it helps?

They drill and screw to the slam panel using small self tappers. Bought new they also came with a couple of small clamps which fixed to the headlight screws and clamped the outer ends, it's 23/24 years since I bought mine so the instructions are well gone but it also said to cut the ends off the bonnet seal: [ATTACH=CONFIG]96690[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]96691[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]96692[/ATTACH]

Saves the tenner postage!
