Riley 0 Posted November 6, 2009 Cheers lads... It's currently a bit unloved while i look for a new track car. Been a while since i modified anything, but the interior will be looking quite different soon hopefully. Neil. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Riley 0 Posted November 9, 2009 Ran over something on a dual carriegeway and damaged one of the black centered Borbet A's, really p|ssed off :mad2: :pale: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adski 0 Posted November 10, 2009 Damaged it how? :eek: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Riley 0 Posted December 1, 2009 It's scraped the wheel/tyre edge :( Really fallen out with it again lately... Someone caught the front bumper, the damaged wheel...and just the other day someone has decided to scratch the drivers door FFS. Still had lots of things to do, Nitrous (half fitted), 4 branch and new pipewerx system...And i was supposed to have an interior retrim but that's gone t|ts up as well. Anyway, rather than blow money on a new exhaust, I picked up a secondhand magnex. Always liked Magnex for quality and subtle sound. Can finally replace the standard system which currently just has a decat fitted and actually sounds superb. Shame it's past it's best though, will fit it when i can be ar$ed... Done some more totalling up too here... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Riley 0 Posted December 5, 2009 Just got back from my unit after fitting the Magnex :) They can be prone to knocking/banging on lowered Corrado's but the 2 mile drive home was totally knock free! Sounds alright too, where ive joined it and clamped it up with new t-bolt stainless clamps is mint. Just a shame it was previously blowing from the decat/manifold, and obviously still is! I did really like how it sounded before though, sort of like a turbo'd motor/throaty, first vid is how it used to sound...second is with the magnex. Had the camera a little close tbh. Before the magnex...standard system with a decat. With the Magnex and decat. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eddy.h 0 Posted December 5, 2009 my magnex knocks over every speed bump :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Riley 0 Posted December 6, 2009 Annoying eh mate (Ive had motors with knocking systems before) Maybe you could rejig it Eddy? I had the system loosely in position, twisted the center section/suit case silencer so that it was as far forward as it would go (Very near to the heat shield) then nipped it up. Then twisted/pushed on the back box so that there was a fingers width between the pipe over the rear beam. Dosn't knock at all so far...Mine can't really do speedbumps though :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eddy.h 0 Posted December 8, 2009 i did all that the centre box is as close to the axle as i could get it had to weld the centre box to the de cat pipe to stop it twisting ( sh#t exhaust clips ) it was ok & then the coilovers want on now it knocks over every speed bump :censored: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Riley 0 Posted March 29, 2010 Fitted amber/yellow sidelight bulbs... Also renewed the front brake lines on both sides (Copper) running from the flexi's to the abs unit. Fitted a new drivers rear caliper as i knew it was sticking a little, then it went through mot. It's now for sale too. £5k. There's a 'little' paperwork/history with it... Neil.

coullstar 0 Posted March 30, 2010 :confused4:, anyway. How did you get on with the grill/mesh painted numberplate with the Police? Im surprised at how genuine it looked. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Riley 0 Posted March 31, 2010 Well...Back from PipeWerx who i highly recommend. They made me a new stainless decat up from scratch for £120 to replace the one that was blowing. Can't believe the difference in sound and power with it not blowing anymore! Even the AFR gauge is reading richer and more steadily! Good times...For the new owner lol. Coullstar, believe it or not i never got done once for the mesh plate, even with cops walking around the car checking it out :shrug: Neil. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fulltimejunglist 0 Posted April 1, 2010 Because they were too busy trying to get your pants down for slammage and having a wee bit of poke. Most coppers love VWs compared with corsas etc so i supose its a step up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Riley 0 Posted April 10, 2010 Well...Possibly the last pics i'll ever take of the Corrado. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Riley 0 Posted April 11, 2010 Fitted two new VAG relay rollers that the charger belt runs on. Whoopy do. One of the old ones had a crack in it, probably from a stone or sommet and the bearings were a bit tired. Number 34's in the pic for any other G60 owners. New VS old.

Portent 0 Posted April 11, 2010 Looking at the front (admittedly debadged) and the rear, the designers just got it so right. It's so aggressive. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
