for sale Aqua Blue Pearl R32 for £5000 in Huddersfield
h6 vwc posted a topic in Cars for Sale [Corrado]
R32 | Aqua Blue Pearl | Huddersfield Price: £5000 Description: 1994/L reg. Mileage : 152k 5+ months tax, 5 months MOT This Corrado has been professionally resprayed in the original colour (Aqua Blue Pearl) to a very high standard. This complete body respray was completed less than 12 months ago. The car started life as a CORRADO VR6 which I purchased in April 2010. Upon purchasing the car I removed the VR6 engine and replaced with a Mk 5 Golf R32 engine. The donor engine came from a 58 plate car and had covered 9000 miles. The conversion was carried out so that the motor runs as the manufacturer intended, i.e utilising VVT and lambda control. To do this the standard R32 ecu (Bosch ME7.1) and wiring was used. Spec: ENGINE: mk5 r32 (3.2L) POWER : dyno'd @ 280bhp TORQUE : 285 lb/ft GEARBOX : RE-BUILT 5 speed VR6 gearbox, with the fitment of a WAVETRAC limited slip differential. Best LSD for the o2a gearbox. New gearbox mount. EXHAUST: From the CAT-back section the car runs a Supersprint system incorporating both a middle and back box. From the manifolds, I have had a custom downpipe fabricated, with professionally welded lambda probe bosses. The entire exhaust is stainless steel with 2.5" piping. ENGINE BAY: New aluminium radiator Fuel pressure regulator Modified bonnet release (weak Corrado mechanism) Uprated headlight wiring loom Davies Craig slimline 11" fan with Panasonic motor. Mocal Oil cooler New Battery SUSPENSION: FK coilovers... fitted brand new in 2011. (top mounts, ball joints, bottom arm bushes renewed and car 4 wheel aligned at same time) BRAKES: Upgraded to 288mm calipers, discs and pads. Rear- standard EXTERIOR: Fully professional resprayed...minor stone chips on front bumper. 90mm chin splitter (also have a 50mm item) de-badged grill tinted red rear lights Sunroof works. Spoiler working fine, very free on sliders. Works automatically and with the button. New fog lights. INTERIOR: Very tidy heated black leather interior. Black dashboard. Corrado mats. Alpine headunit with remote running standard speakers. Uncut parcel shelf. WHEELS AND TYRES: Currently fitted mint standard 15" speedlines with good tires all round. Included with sale, EURO X 3pc split rims, 16". no tyres TO DO: Needs a CAN-BUS converter (about £60) to make the rev counter work. Could do with relocating battery to the boot. PICS TAKEN ON PHONE , CAR LOOKS BETTER IN PERSON! 07960424656 thanks for viewing -

Hi Kev, ur car is absolutely awesome!! I wouldnt worry too much about flatness in the factory management as mine has been in 2 years and never once felt flat/limp anywhere through he range......and pretty quick too running 13.5 1/4s, better if not traction limited! Anyhow i was just curious as to what hardware/software u will use so that u can play with the ME7 ecu? I have been on the lookout for something also. Thanks

front wishbone uprated bushes for g60 set-up CASH WAITING
h6 vwc replied to corrado_sunderland's topic in Wanted
yes thats the one u need....bout £30 for both from the dealers. -
Hey yeah the engines are fly by wire, though i believe alfa throttle bodies can be made to fit and then a small mod to accept the throttle cable, for those who dnt like the feel of an electric pedal, i dnt mind it and it was dead easy to screw a pedal in and plug in. Dont worry about not being able to get clocks, keys, transponder as the immobiliser can be defeated when sorting the ecu. Mk4 or mk5 r32 engines can be used, just a fuel pressure regulator and new alternator/pas bracket needed on thed mk5. Audi a3/tt engines are also very good and available, i mixed an audi loom onto a r32 engine no probs. Good luck, and be careful when buying an engine.

Hey, this is an awesome conversion and one i would strongly suggest....as for costs my car owes me just over £6.7k, but that included buyin the car @£2.5k....a lsd an fitting @ £800, engine, lambdas, accelerator pedal ~£1300....loom, remap, ecu programming £900 including fitting by south west in car tech. The rest is the cost of exhaust, coilover suspension, new bushes, oil cooler etc. To be honest i did all the mechanicals myself and fitted all engine, suspension, new steering parts @ hme on the driveway with a small jack and halfords tool kit. Only the exhaust i farmed out, to make a custom dwnpipe which is a work of art and cost me £250....The tt dash conversion frightens me more tbh, this u really could tackle yourself, i did mine within a few weeks. The character of the 3.2 can be softened in the throttle mapping to make it less jerky. U alredy own the car, if a lsd and remapping for extra power arent necessary, u could do this conversion into ur car 4 £2500 if u look around and find a well priced engine , with both looms, a maf and 2 pre cat lambda sensors...and an accelerator pedal........... Need any help just post up.......although quicky1980's r32 conversion guide is very very good.....
