Late Black G60

cheers m8,appreciate the comments. 8)

 

seems like you understand my dilema :lol:

 

maybe the yellow fogs could make a comeback? nah

 

i just cant decide on the badge though!

 

oh aye,id just refitted the wiper blade because it slid off a little :oops:

 

neil.

that front end is fapping gorgeous!!! :shock:

Don't fit the badge! Much better without it IMO. I tried my badge back on the front of mine when I fitted an FK badgeless grill, and it spoilt the whole sleek look!

 

only my 2p's worth of course.....8)

[Riley 0]

thanks :D

 

i am leaning towards not having the badge i think,its just that i like it when people say 'whats g60 mean m8?' :lol:

 

neil.

Lose the badge!!! Nice car dude :)

looks phat mate, looks better without the badge!

 

noticed yr wiper blade sits of the screen????

[Cnut 0]

Looks great mate!

 

Still undecided on whether it looks better with or without the badge though :?

 

Does the FK grill have attachments for where the grill badge goes like on the original grill or do you have to find another way of attaching the badge on?

looks proper mint without badge ! ive got fk badgless grill with(golf) vr6 badge on it ?(dont know wheather to take my badge off now ?) it has the same fixings as original grill.

but i want to show my white one is a VR ! & not the mass produced 16v in white ???????

well with the charger being sent off to pitstop developments (see here for stripped charger pics) i thought i may as well port/polish the other half of the throttle body that i never got round to doing before.

 

ps:im going for full blend/rsr charger outlet/68mm pulley/new oil feed pipe/sns chip.

 

this pic shows the standard throttle body(red) and the other half i port/polished last time:

 

 

i sat the other half on and marked around where they met:

 

 

and here it is after a little work with the dremmel and a file,needs a bit more yet,red shows the curve ive got:

 

 

blue shows where ive started to knife edge the two ports:

 

 

nearly finished,just need to find my autosol :?

 

 

black marker pen to show the shape i got on it:

 

 

had to mark and cut the new gasket:

 

 

and fitted to the other half which i previously worked on,venturi end/material removed and polished and port matched:

 

 

 

i cant wait to get the charger back with the other bits

gonna change the rocker cover gasket too in the meantime. :)

 

i removed the ecu and took out the superchip ready for the sns :D

 

 

mmmmm,crappy rocker cover and alternater...

 

 

more as and when it happens,neil. :)

finished the t-body:

 

 

fitted a solid front engine mount:

 

 

and did a rush job of painting the alternator:

[Riley 0]

cheers m8 :wink:

 

excuse the fact that its covered in polish in these pics,im just on with really minting it up while its off the road.....

 

dewipered the rear:

 

 

and fitted the sun strip:

That throttle body is soooooo shiny! Good skills,

[Riley 0]

thanks mr b 8)

 

do you mind if i ask how much you paid for the borbet a's?

 

and what size tyres you run etc...?

 

im after some,but they seem better priced when new :?

 

neil.

[mrbeige 0]

I bought them off Daz, for £350 inc part worm tyres

 

I'm running 205/40 R16's

 

Avon ZZR's on the rear (new) and Khumo Elastica(?) on the front

 

The Khumo's used to catch a lot, and I knackered one of them, but the Avon's seem to be ok, more of a round profile rather than a square one if you know what I mean.

 

You going to E38?

[Riley 0]

cheers for the info,bloody hell £350 wasnt bad especially with tyres and the flat center caps???

 

e38's a bit too far for me really :(

 

neil.

[mrbeige 0]

No its not, where in lancs do you live?

 

Got the normal centre caps as well, although I prefer the flat ones!

[Riley 0]

near blackburn m8,i thought e38 was way down south,no? :?

 

what drop have you got on the c ?

 

cheers,neil.

[mrbeige 0]

E38 is in Northampton, about 2 1/2hours from Blackburn. Come down on the Saturday and stick your car on the Corrado Forum stand!

 

My C is just dropped on Koni T/A's and H/R springs...about 35mm, but have got the T/A's on full hardness! The front could come down more, though!

cheers m8,neil.

[mrbeige 0]

Yeah I've never been before either! Post onto this thread so you can get added to the list of peeps going on. M15 VW is organising it.

 

I can meet you at Corley services on the M6 just south of B'ham on Saturday morning, and we can go in a mini convoy if you like.

 

Should be a bloody good show by the sounds of things, already 21 Corrado's on the Corrado Forum Stand on the Saturday!

[Riley 0]

aye,sounds sh1t hot reading through that post,i get the feeling theyre will be some sore heads after sat night :lol:

 

ill have to let you know m8,all depends on weather i can get the charger back/fitted in time!

 

little convoy would be good if i can make it,im brilliant at getting lost 8)

 

thanks,neil :D

[mrbeige 0]
