Blackberry Vr6 With Recaro for sale.
g0ldf1ng3r replied to Luisete's topic in Cars for Sale [Corrado]
what he said!! lol -
if it is an early rado they run on 195's rather than 205's - that could help how are you finding the RE002's odub? i love them on my VR :D
-
hi m8 ive just copied this link into the VW Corrado chat page on facebook as someone has advertised what you want (potentially) https://www.facebook.com/groups/VwCorradoChat/?fref=nf post by Michael Holmes at around 15.20 today

i wasnt keen on spacers either, never have been, but it was a case of needs must i dont think the 10mm will be very noticeable & should they have required a bigger spacer it may have made me think differently my issue was having to stay under the 15" speedline, no way i could afford new wheels, whilst trying to improve on the not so good standard brake setup what size are your RZ's? reason i ask is that the inner profile could well be different to the speedline such that you wouldnt need a spacer might be worth you giving HiSpec a call as they will get their CAD designer guy to do a technical drawing to confirm fitment/s - IIRC i spoke to Alex there
-
not quite a 10mm spacer is required to stop fouling on the inside face of the wheel i did get HiSpec to provide the spacer but when received they were not hubcentric so i got myself some decent ones
-
lol i know Jim, i was just teasing lol
-
im not sure on the correct one but i can say you will be happy with it once fitted - oh the noise! only thing is that you will become more right foot heavy so as to make that noise lol
-
HiSpec do an alternative that is a proper caliper, rather than a sliding caliper mechanism, that fit under OE wheels i will let you know how they compare to standard soon ;)
-
no problem but do let me know if you want to borrow it
-
sorry no - i can post you one to borrow if you want to use it & return it though EDIT - it is a metal one which i think i got off here many moons ago
-
i have 2 now nick lol Jon at stealth spotted my old valver on ebay & told me about it when i last collected the VR from them - i won the bid the following day lol currently waiting for the sill welding to be finished on the VR so i can test my new 4 pots :D are those other 'tested' motors not quite giving the fizz that the rado does?
-
ha ha ha m8 if you were in the midlands i would have taken you up on that but unfortunately you are miles away lol
-
well hello there stranger! how you diddling? VAG-hag had one after the stealth install & IIRC the gears mashed on a stealth RR day too & he had a horrendous drive home :( poor chap! i am still a bit peev'd i couldnt raise the funds to buy your rado lol ;)
-
no danger sean, thanks for your reply i should really put the Kamei front splitter i have in the loft onto the valver so as to re-complete the kit but seeing as i have the full kit up there i really want to see if i can get it onto the VR
-
lol winner! & the width? in J format?
-
personally, having seen, in multiple stages, a stealth turbo being fitted to n333ppp i would say a DIY would be a massive undertaking it is do-able but wow it is complex
-
sounds like a plan :) just so as you know, stealth racing for example allocate 8-10 hours for a matrix replacement as such there is a big saving for a job which is achievable over a weekend
-
ooo - have you a link pls sean? i tried UK ebay & cant find it
-
from the above i would say best to do as Jim said & whip out the passenger under trays & have a feel around your heater box from personal experience - if you do the matrix yourself, get some of the felt liner for the heater box flaps & reline it i didnt do the one in my valver & now need to pull the dash out again to do it
-
if it refers to the body kit then i quite like it - it is similar to the Kamei kit on my valver (& the one in the loft waiting to go on the VR hopefully)
-
this months mystery post!!! ;) lol
-
price, location, shipping method would help ;) i would be interested in just the speaker covers if this doesnt sell & you would split
-
a bit of a drawn out test would be to put a temporary matrix bypass in easily done with a bit of copper piping you could then run the car for a few days & see if you still get the greasy film you describe, if you dont then it points towards a faulty matrix if the matrix has a pin hole, once it is not under pressure it shouldnt leak i would have thought
