  1. I went for competitions as car will be hard anyway and it's not a daily.
  2. Unfortunately this very cruel true. Last VRT sold on ebay few months back went for 5k and was for sale for very long time Kevs R32 4,5k C5 OEM, 3k I believe for mint storm but high mileage Mine VR6 in very good mechanical conditions, as new interior, fully refubed, just needs respray, no rust, Advertised at 1850 - NO INTERESTS AT ALL !! I believe if I will put it on ebay will end up around 1k :( I know many of you, including myself put a lot of effort and money in our Corrado's but this is not Escort cossworts or audi S2 and it will never hod it's value. What I noticed is..... No matter how mint is your VR6 you won't get more than 2,5k for it, max 3-3,5 if mileage is less than 80k. 16V, you will be lucky getting 1,5k G60 - looks like their value is much higher as VR6, they getting rare now. Concluding, we have to wait another 15 years to get more money for our cars. My friend recently bought evo 7 with 550 PS and invoices for engine at 32k pounds for 7k pounds. Compare this car to corrado and honestly answer to yourself. Is it worth to put more money to my car ?? Yes - if you love it and like to keep it. No- If you plan to sell it.
  3. I've broken 2 corrado on parts and never seen something like that. It might be a part of g60 or 16v engine.
  4. Welcome, was nice to talk to you the other day. For the exhaust I would suggest Milltek, nice sound, and good build quality. Have one on mine if You like to have a look.
  5. I don't have name for mine but my bird calls it metal can and she absolutely hate driving it - on passenger seat of course.
  6. from wikipedia The Volkswagen Group VR6 engine was introduced in Europe by Volkswagen in 1991, in the Passat and Corrado; and in North America the following year. The Passat, Passat Variant (estate/wagon), and U.S.-specification Corrado used the original 2.8 litre design; the European-specification Corrado and the 4WD Passat Syncro received a 2.9-litre version with 140 kilowatts (190 PS; 188 bhp). This version also had a free flowing 6 centimetres (2.4 in) (2.5 in) catalytic converter, sharper camshafts, 4-bar (58 psi) fuel pressure regulator, enlarged inlet manifold, and larger throttle body.It was also sold to Mercedes Benz for use in their vans, and designated as M104.900.
  7. Dave it doesn't looks bigger but i was reading in the past that somebody test 2.8 and 2.9 manifolds in some way and it turned up that 2.9 manifold has bit bigger volume than 2.8. its not a difference between obd1 and obd2 manifold, its only difference between obd1 2.8 and obd1 2.9 manifold. Similar to KR 50mm intake and 9A 42mm intake but not as much visible.
  8. Mine is even worst, I got final written warning for being sick in the past, it included time off after last surgery 2 years ago. I did appeal and 2 union members come with me on appeal meeting but company did what they want. They just don,t care about anybody.
  9. Thanks, I'm not worried as my sick leave is genuine. I just know they usually bending law a lot.
  10. Basic situations look like that. I had a surgery and got 6 weeks time off afterwards. My doctors sick note clearly says I'm not able to do any work and I need to see doctor before my sick note runs out for consultation if I'm ready to be back to work. Because my wounds not healing well and I already got appointment with doctor and I'm predicting more time off due to pain in a wound etc. but.... In a main time my company is calling me for a meeting between one of the manager, myself and company nurse/doctor. Should I even bother to turn up ?? I gave them my sick note from my doctor. They know what it says. Is that even legal to do so ?? I'm not talking here what is moral to do and what should I do to have good relationship with company as they don't give a **** about their employees and I don't give a **** about them. Just asking what the law say. Was looking threw internet but couldn't really fine anything useful. Any advice ??
  11. ecu, loom, tb, maf and few little bits.
  12. I would be interested in one if you can make more of them ---------- Post added at 3:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 3:14 PM ---------- Only one advantage is when you have 2.9 obd1 manifold as it's slightly bigger than 2.8 one.
