263s + fitting, and a remap I reckon is probably somewhere in the region of £700. Not cheap, and being the tight arse I am, I wouldn't do it for the gains they give. Obviously driveability will be improved with the remap as well, but you could get a good used stage 1 supercharger kit for not much more if you were that way inclined.

Cams Wayne.

That ones been on there a while. It the uber rare Recaro parcel shelf.......... They are available new through Vw heritage but are about £165!! I've been looking for one for a while too, and just missed out on an ebay one just before Xmas, as my phone didn't update the price in the last few minutes. I thought I'd won, but had been outbid and didn't know. It went for £36 + delivery in the end and I was gutted! Lol

Think he just means to fit some uprated cams. Stealth have a very good reputation for remapping the VR6. It's not an aggressive remap where you get large spikes of power, but it improves throttle response and the power curves are very linear so you get nice consistent gains all the way through the rev range. uprated cams will give you a little more as well but that's another few hundred on top.
-
Agreed, great formula oil, but I wouldn't use it just to top up what you have as it's quite expensive! I'd definitely use it when changing it out though.
-
Oh I get what you mean. Ok fair enough. :thumbleft:
-
Yes it is mate. lol. AVS Spares is also decent.
-
Oh, these are the little clips that hold the headlight surround on. https://www.vwheritage.com/shop/corrado/535941179B/headlight-retaining-clip-corrado-89-95/?crumbStartPage=1&crumbStartRow=1

Haha, if I showed you my bank statement, you'd put your car up for sale on the spot! I've spent quite a lot of money since I bought the car mate, but its a good un now.
-
Ummmmm, don't feel bad, but I paid half what you did, and the chains had been done 6 months before I bought it too.
-
Ouch, not cheap!
-
Where abouts is the car? The headlight shouldn't break removing it, but if the adjustment bit is too far gone then the whole thing will need to come out anyway.
-
I honestly know the feeling mate. I was lucky that it was a good runner, but I had more leaks that a pregnant pensioner, the bodywork and interior were absolutely shot, and I was also missing quite a few of the little things.
-
I've managed to fix two by kind of bodging/bonding the threaded part back on Gracie. How bad is it, do you have a picture to see if its salvageable?
-
Yeah thats the crack pipe with the drain plug on it. Just keep an eye out if I were you. Water pump is attached to the pulley to the left side of it btw.
-
Yeah crank seal. Just be careful if you remove it as the plastic is very brittle and they are known to brake at the bend. If it comes off in one piece the O seal should sort it. Oil cooler is separate from the filter housing. There are 2 seals for this, an inner and an outer where the securing plate goes on. Cheap enough and sold in quite a few different places. The filter housing seal I've only found available from VW or TPS though. Again, not silly expensive iirc.
-
It secures a cover behind the headlight which acts as a sort of air guide for the air box. That in the ebay link is the cover. I'll show you that on Sunday too mate.
-
I went with a plastic one when I rebuilt my engine too. Figured it had lasted 20 years, a replacement will last at least a few more!
-
I thought it looked odd, but couldn't put my finger on why! Good spot! Got to admit though, she still has a cracking arse! :lol:
-
I don't think it's so much to do with year, as it is to do with engine. Early valvers are less sought after than late, but G60s bring the year thing up. A VR6 of any year seems to be more desirable than most, although there is obviously an overlap with G60/vr6 based on condition. Decent parts are more scarce on early models, but for some unknown reason tend to be cheaper.
-
There's a SS one available from the UK on ebay for about £65 delivered I linked into a thread a couple of weeks ago. Have a look in ebay & misc section, I'm on my phone so can't copy and paste from eBay for some reason, but its on my watch list!
-
From last years National Day. Not too keen on the wheels if I'm honest though, would prefer it on the originals.
-
No need to worry and appreciate the honesty mate. If you move onto something else in future, just a mention of how helpful us Corrado forum folk are, can only be of benefit to the forum or owners in general further down the line.
-
That would be what I'd do if I wanted to clean it up back there. If you want to go back, is easy to do afterwards then. The VW badge would be the only thing difficult to put back if it was removed and smoothed.
-
Think it's Carlsberg mate! Lol Seriously bud, let me see what I have first. I'll have a good look around my store and the garage on Friday. I'm a serial horder so if some of the parts can be made use of due to unscrupulous sellers taking advantage, which I was on the receiving end of too by the way, them I'm only too happy to help. :thumbleft:
