lol it must be G60 rebuild season and yes i will be very restrained breaking it in athough its pretty much an entire tank of petrol (250-300 miles) of driving under 3.5 k and the though that i may be getting overtaken by a prius will be a truly low point in my life lol..... what would be the best way of cranking the engine over to feed the charger with oil before i fire it up? ive read various ways ie disconecting king lead ect ..
-
cheers mate me too.... i really dont want to think about that possability haha Ive got a week off work later this month so weather providing i'll take my time and get it all sorted

Well after a few months ive got myself another G-Ladder fully rebuild and ported to stage four by Jabbasport and they also delivered it personally saturday for me which was bloody good of them... So now im just cleaning down all my intercooler pipework and cleaning my engine bay up while it's easy to get to ,also need to fit my new radiator and do an oil + filter change really happy and cannot wait to hear the G-ladder purring away again
-
Love the wheels mate, this has gotta be one of the nicest G60's on here for sure keep it up
-
bit off topic but are the leather ones still available from VW?
-
did anyone watch it? what was that engine cleaning process used ? .... the results on the emissions was pretty profound i would imagine pretty much every corrado on here would benefit from that

I would just buy the best car i could be it either G60 or VR and your budget should get you a pretty nice example for instance this VR6 is an absolute standard beauty, i love the colour.... but its not for everyone http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3869327.htm Or this standard G60 which again i love the colour.... but its not for everyone (its also pretty pricey lol) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-CORRADO-G60-/270963498793?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item3f16aedf29

I do like the domed roof but the engines offered in the CRZ are ......... well theyre french lol, i mean the top spec is a 1.6 T producing 200 Ps but it still cant beat a G60 or VR in standard form to 60 lol..... pretty pants really 20 years on

Very nice G mate looks very tidy
-

whats funny is that part prices are sky high but an actual corrado for sale is worth bugger all??? no wonder theyre getting broken left right and centre
-
probably will sell for about 70 ish i wreckon but as Emu says G60 badges have gone for over a ton which is pretty wild lol i paid about 40 for mine then someone stole it : ( and broke my grill in doing so
-
im not in the market for anything asthetic atm with all my mechanical issues : ( cheers though Pat Maybe we should change this thread to how stupid and rich do VW parts department think we are... lol £400 for a leather steering wheel? thats pretty steep when you consider it has no airbag or any controls compared to the A3 cataloge which i have been looking through and its about £350 for their leather sports wheel whatever that it lol

I keep bumping into this on the bay and i just cant beleive that the original VW leather gear gaiter would retail at £218.35 seriously ? even if i had all the money in the world i wouldnt pay that lol http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-CORRADO-BLACK-LEATHER-GEARSTICK-GAITER-535-711-113-/400163584226?_trksid=p3984.m185&_trkparms=algo%3DSIC.NPJS%26its%3DI%26itu%3DUA%26otn%3D5%26pmod%3D140730468948%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D7371690036592137520
