Supercharged 2 Posted October 7, 2009 Looks fantastic - what did you actually do to the arches out of interest? Mines being painted next week - what make of paint did you use? water based I assume? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

StormchargedVR6 0 Posted October 7, 2009 For him, internals. He's still running stock pistons, but uprated rods IIRC. The ringlands on the standard pistons aren't known to be the strongest. Wossners, JEs etc all have ringlands twice as thick as stock for boosty goodness :D Kev , don't remind me :? thats another big bill Looking good Shaun! Fancy doing mine! :lol: Would be interesting to see what times it does on a strip! Not too shabby I'd imagine 8) Sorry mate, got so much work on took three weeks to get mine in This has now got to be considered one of the best Corrados in the world - awesome Cheers Andy , don't think in the world. You back in a corrado yet :? Looks fantastic - what did you actually do to the arches out of interest? Mines being painted next week - what make of paint did you use? water based I assume?

OSV 0 Posted January 23, 2010 The car is looking super fresh, and so much nicer with the fog/inicator set up back in place but for me you just can't lose the VW grille badge Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim 1 Posted January 23, 2010 Indeed.. one less spot for water to get in and cause rust as well :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OSV 0 Posted January 23, 2010 Please don't think my post was negative the car is absolutely stunning and all the fresher too with all those subtle touches and removing the grille spoiler and going for a black grill, its just that it would be perfect in my eyes with the badged grille. As you say its easily reversable and you've got to try these things out Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Goldie 2 Posted January 23, 2010 If you ask me Shaun this car only needs RS301s to make it absolutely perfect... Great work as ever... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KipVR 1 Posted January 23, 2010 I love everything you have done to the car except the badgeless grille, but that's just a personal thing. How much horsepower are you hoping for with the r32 motor? Presumably you are turbocharging it? Can't wait to see that 8) 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
