Just a quick one... Front: 17x7.5 ET19 with 205/40's Rear: 17x8.5 ET21 with 205/40's Can anyone see any issues?

13.5cm in the door. 6x4 in the rear. Be warned, there is not much space for the magnets in the rear so don't go OTT. I got some JBL GT's in but the GTO's didn't fit for example.

Payment made for 4 sets... Finally.. Sorry for the wait. ---------- Post added at 06:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:11 PM ---------- Payment made for 4 sets... Finally.. Sorry for the wait.

Hey mate, I'll take the lower inlet manifold. Does that include the injectors? Also I need the plastic cover that the HT's sit in. The one which sits at the back of the engine above the exhaust manifold. Rich.

interesting.. So a new pump will solve this or is it a part of the timing chain? No :( I've done the ATF trick for 200 miles then changed the oil for Motul X-cess 8100 5w40 oil with a VW filter. I've stripped the vacuum system, cleaned it out and checked for leaks. I've changed the exhaust system Manifold back and checked the manifold for leaks. The oil change seemed to help a little but it's still there. Next on the list is changing the TB, injectors, rocket cover and inlets (I have polished items so worth a try to see if anything changes) along with new inlet/exhaust gaskets all around and cleaning/replacing the tappets whilst it's all apart. If that doesn't work I'll start to dig deeper. I've also read that the inlet pressure valve amplifies any tappet sound, especially if the valve is broken. Maybe worth a look?

Hello Everybody! (in Dr Nicks voice) I need some hubcentric PCD adapters to make some BMW wheels fit my VR6. So I need: 5x100 (57.1 centre bore) to 5x120 (72.5 centre bore) I need a pair 20mm which are easily found, but I also need a pair of 22mm. Can anyone recommend a company who can make these up? Everyone I've tried are just not getting back to me. Thanks. Rich.

You did right there! Did I see you this morning too!? I saw another one but this time with a bearded gent driving it. :dance:

Hey, the clocks are complete and fully working, including the correct 2bar blue vacuum sensor on the back. PM'd anyway. Not yet, sorry for the delay, stupid work commitments and less and less daylight is making photo opportunities hard. Expect them soon though. Yes! PM'd

She looked like my perfect woman. For two reasons. A) she was a female. B) she drives a Corrado. :dance:

Did you get my PM alex?

The Clocks are provisionally Sold at £55 Posted. If the sale falls through I'll let you know. PM'd I do but it requires a paint as I wasn't planning on keeping it. Yours FOC if you can get it before the weekend is over. PM'd

I keep spotting a purple (blackberry) Corrado on my way to work most mornings in Rotherham (Greasbrough Rd) at about 8am.. It's an attractive blonde driver too! I flashed, you waved... It was the start of a beautiful relationship.. :)

I'm in Sheffield and I have some.

Payment Sent.. I forgot to add the address. i'll PM you.

Where are you?

I'm after the lower part to the inlet manifold. Must be from a 2.9 VR6. Thanks.

Both

Hey you guuuuuuuuyyyyss! I'm picking up some new 17" wheels soon which require adapters, so I get to play with the offset meaning anything et30 or lower is achievable. I already have rolled arches. Widths are 7.5 and 8.5. I just want inspiration please. So can you guys load up a picture of your Corrado rolling on 17's with the wheel specs (offset, width and tyre size) pwiddy please!? Thanks!

Polo GTi's came with them too. But I've never seen a factory Corrado with them!

Thanks :) But yes they are ugly.. They are going soon, the replacements are being picked up soon.

Hey everyone.. This is my 2nd Corrado; A 1993 VR6 in Dragon Green. I bought this last week as a replacement for my '91 G60 which I broke up due to a shot body :( Long story short I befriended the previous owner of this when I had my MK2 GTi. He's been pushing me to buy this for months and when he found out the G60 was shot he pushed me for a test drive and offered it me at a ridiculous price.. I was sold! A few quickie photo's from the sale advert.. It's pretty much standard bar a 6-branch, Magnex cat back exhaust, G-Max suspension, de-badged grill and Porsche 928's. The car was previously on here under a username 'oades' who gave it a full respray in the OE colour and bought lots of new parts like door seals, roof strips and indicators; He really looked after it.. and it's pretty much stayed the way it was when he owned it.. it truly is immaculate. I've already done a few little things already such as replaced the ignition switch and removed the bypass start button (and replaced the ignition cowling), fitted my alpine stereo, fitted the seat adjusters which were missing, fitted a OE grill with silver badge (thanks tony-ack) and a silver OE VR6 front badge (thanks kipvw). i've also played with the wiring and got the rear spoiler to work as it should. I've ordered a VW oil filter, G12 coolant, rocker inlet and TB gaskets, some NGK BKR5E plugs and Motul X-cess 8100 5w 40 (as per this thread: http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?51329-VR6-Oil-amp-Spark-plugs) and also some Redline MT-90 gearbox oil.. I'm ordering some Schimmel red HT leads too! So she should be nice and ready for winter.. The car is beautiful to drive but has started tapping ever so slightly as per: http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?59268-VR6-ticking-tapping so I need to sort this asap as it the only issue letting the car down. :( I have lots more in the line up to make it my own including some BBS split rims which I haven't seen on a C before, some Weitec coilovers and fitting my G-Werks exhaust and de-cat.. so expect updates soon... Rich.

Are they all 17x7.5 or can you get 17x8 included in the group buy?

^Pretty much this unfortunately. From personal experience Darren was a lovely bloke but a rubbish businessman.. Saying that; he lasted 6 years and became one of the most well known and influential companies in the scene. From the sounds of things he's let things slip in the past year or so.. We don't know what happens behind closed doors and the reason for the closure. Business's going down are always a sad thing to see happen. I just hope no one has severely lost out.

Hey guys and girls... I know this has been mentioned before but my search can't find anything more recent than 2008 so things may have changed. So.. I have some Brembo 4-pots from my G60 with 305mm 4-studs.. Is there any way these can be made to fit my 1993 VR6? Other than drilling the discs as I don't feel comfortable in doing this. Thanks. Rich.

I'm interested if you have some left..
