That would be me! My first spot on here!

Great stuff - it's clearly owned by a C-nut, and looked to be in good shape. He came up behind me as I got onto the M25 around the A1 junction, I pulled off at the M40, so who know's where he was off to.

Too right! I can't believe anyone on here is doubting the mighty 'rado! Seriously though - first corner, give the Mk 1 some room ;) Who knows what it's going to do, straight on; lift off over steer; both - your guess is as good as mine. One things for sure, it's not going to turn in like the Corrado can! Should be a right good laugh though....i've always fancied a trip. That e60 sounds awesome!

I'm going to stick my neck on the line, and say that round the ring the Corrado will have it hands down. The Mk 1 sounds like it will be a handful in the corners, all 147 odd of them! No matter how quickly it can accelerate, if it has to slow to a walking pace to get round the bends it doesn't stand a chance. The Mk 2 will be a close second, but I don't think the gain in power over standard, and slight weight saving over the Corrado will be enough to match the Corrado's far more dynamic chassis. The power to weight ratio will be similar, but the corrado (I would have thought) has a lower centre of gravity, better handling, probably a wider track, and don't forget the spoiler.....!! Drag races off the lights, that's probably a different storey.

A white Corrado on the M25 (L35 WAG), anti clockwise at 5.30/6.00 ish. You pulled along side, gave me a wave then pulled off. I followed you until the M40, although it was dark so I don't know if you realised. Never driven in Corrado convoy! Nice looking car, and cheers for the wave - you cheered up my drive no end!

Hi All, I could do with some help/advice. I'm trying to revert back to a standard airbox. My VR came with a K&N cone filter, so I don't know whats missing. I've bought the airbox from StueyB (recieved with thanks), however, the connections from the back of the box to the MAF look different. The box has 2 screw fittings, where as the MAF has 2 slots. It looks like there is a collar missing....any suggestions? Also, at the front of the box there is an ovaloid air intake, which presumably hooks up behind the headlamp - is there a seal, or connector, or does it just butt up to it? Finally, the 'snorkle', is this the plastic cylinder inside the box itself?

I've recently noticed similar, I think i've sorted the problem (leaky windscreen seal), but have ordered one of these to dry the car out. http://www.amazon.co.uk/ThoMar-5217007-Car-Dehumidifier-Air/dp/B000XUPEJY/ref=sr_1_1?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1355742335&sr=1-1

Cheers both - they move, somewhat erratically, but they move. They don't seem to heat though - will get the multimeter out and see whats what...

Sorry for the hijack, but my heated mirrors have never worked, suggestions gratefully received!

If you decide to split I could be interested in the rear shelf. In no hurry. Cheers

Ordered! Can't wait to get it, thanks for organising this.

Cheers Kev - have you tried the B12 kit? Any idea of what the ride is like with it?

Hi StueyB, have you still got this? Am looking to replace my K&N cone filter with standard. Thanks

Hi KUR2Y, I'd like one of your looms please - Please can you PM me with info you need from me, and your paypal details. Thanks

Jamie, Thanks for your reply. Sticking with the standard ride height is a serious option - I reckon the guys at VW probably knew what they were doing! However, as mine is quite a late car, it does seem particularly tall....So, for this set up presumably i'd keep the current springs (or after 140k is it worth getting new as well?), new std dampers (sachs/boge whatever?) new bushes and ball joints, and a new rear ARB (that is fitted as well as the existing one, correct?). I guess what i'm trying to achieve is OEM+ if that makes sense - what the storm always should have been, a mildly uprated VR6.
