  1. As above you should really look at getting your charger re-built by JMR or Jabba before its too late (i learnt the hard way)..... and while its there you should get it ported and polished e.g stage 4 or 5 as it really does build boost faster = quicker power delivery as smaller pully goes you should probably go for the 68 mm probably the most common with the G60 bunch and no need for red top fuel injectors e.g 65mm pully and TBH you shouldnt really ragg the F**K out of the charger to get power..... its better obtained from better exhaust's and flowed heads ect (chargers are more expencive) and for a chip i would have said G-werks for an SNS chip but they are no more.... so no idea for a chip these days ...... just call JMR with your needs for charger pully + chip and im sure he will guide you wlong the right path good luck
  2. yeah get the bosch ones.... when i put some NGK's in mine after an old set of the bosch W6DPO it ran like poo .... just feeling bogged down and sloppy, so i put my old Bosch W6DPO back in and it was instantly more smooth and better revving even better now with fresh W5DPO's
  3. Well my battery gave up with the first sign of cold and my front grill is none existant so i havnt driven her in about a month (just been sat under the cover feeling sad). So i went and got a new battery tonight for £90 (which hurt) but as soon as it was fitted it and started first time i went for a little hack and instantly the corrado charm got me....AGAIN how do they do it to us ......seriously its not even been that long ? or am i just going sad lol
  4. great history on this car and nice to see a very well kept G60.......i want your seats lol
  5. very nice G mate....... thats some serious staying power owning it for 21 years mate you must be one of very few hats off
  6. Yeah i saw the XJ220 pull up in the lot ,they are stunning ...... my dad knew one of the people working for the dream rides and that XJ220 is owned by a woman (she has very good taste) Did anyone check out this 1938 BMW R12 ? im not really into bikes in a huge way but seriously this bike was beautifull, i wish i got more pictures of it
  7. i guess JMR are going to be pretty busy re-building charger's then
  8. yep its true http://www.edition38.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=418207&st=0 it is a shame really for a once so respeced company to go like this.......
  9. Well........... after my eyebrow two slat grill self desrtucted yesterday that or somone stole my g60 badge and broke my grill at the same time, im in the market for a new grill and i decided to take the plunge and order one of these $ 155 inc post is pricey but you would probably pay that for a new one from the dealer if they still had the grills in stock(thats what i told myself anyway) i cant wait to be honest it should look great and also more fitting for the car as early spec i'll get some pics up when it arrives cheers
  10. sounds like a plan ....... getting a G60 to run right is gonna cost you lol it cant be original paint ? was it sprayed recently ? pully is quite an easy thing to do really and a must have mod tbh , are you going for the 68mm pully? what kind of exhaust has it got?
  11. Probably the best G60 for sale at the moment (really looks like its been cared for) i hope it gets a good home......if this is broken it would be a crime
  12. wow... the paint looks incredible very nice mate what's the spec of it?
  13. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1991-VOLKSWAGEN-CORRADO-G60-/320781601398?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item4ab012ca76 This is seriously cheap for what your getting........ 46k on the clock and two owners such a clean example for £3300 ? im pretty sure i saw this up for sale about a year ago maybe even two and it was over 5 k then (if i had the money at the time i would have had this in a flash) what the hell is happending to corrado prices ? and more so G60 prices ? G60's must be the rarest flavour now(cant be more than a few hundred left in th uk) and theyre pretty much being given away even in mint condition....
  14. update well i did try to get of the already broken lense out with a heat gun on a low setting + stanly knife and its really not possible to seperate it without damaging the housing so i left it.... oh well it was worth a try as it was buggered anyway i'll just get a replacement from ebay and sand it down + tint red cheers guys
  15. Hello all i brought a set of all red rears from ebay (knowing that one was damaged via a hole) and im looking to replace the lense shown below. im wondering if i can replace the lense below with the intact lower red lense which is on my car now? obviously very carfully cut away the lense from my existing set and the new red set, then sand down the intact one and glue it to my new set? or any other options? cheers guys
  16. lol ouch......... didnt think it would cost that much http://spoonfedtuning.myshopify.com/products/corrado-g60-badgeless-grill-95-special-preorder they do look very nice ........ god dammit deffo going on my christmas list
  17. Hi Does anybody know where i can get the early style 7 slat badgless grill ?(bonrath i think) or does anyone have one theyre willing to let go? cheers guys
  18. i'll have to check the stand out deffinatly im guessing the corrado club has to pay more for more cars on its stand ? is it going to be just VR6's on the stand if you know atal? wheeler dealers Ed and mike are gonna be there, also i hope there are some Audi quattro's there.....
  19. Hi all im gonna go down to this on the saturday the 12th with my old man just wondering if anyone on here is gonna go ? should be some very nice cars there. noticed on the NEC site that there is a Corrado stand ? anyone on here putting thier car in the stand ? cheers
  20. when i checked in july at G-werks they had none in stock and had no idea when the next batch would be in...... it would probably work out to be the same price if you ordered direct form BBM depending on exchange rates Also Bar-Tek do them for 99 EU ......
  21. i wonder what sort of millage you can do before the rack will have to be replaced? i have a VR6 steering rack if you need ? £950 HOLY S***.....?
  22. 1991 was the year of Brian Adams "Everything i do" 16 weeks at number one? what was everyone thinking at the time.......
  23. That really sucks ............ not a good start to G60 ownership when my old unit was diagnosed beyond repair it took me over a month to track down another G-ladder i put up wanted ads on edition 38 and got a fair few offers but as soon as i asked some questions about their condition histoy ect they never got back to me so make sure you do ask allot of questions and dont throw you money away In the end i got a spare charger from G-Werks they only had the one in stock back in July this year (stage 4 + fresh rebuild) £680 ....... i just couldnt find another good one at the time
