Andy665 0 Posted July 27, 2007 Lovely looking Nugget - good to see another one on the Forum As for charger rebuilds you can't go wrong with either G-Werks or JMR, both well respected in terms of rebuild quality, would choose either of these in preference to Jabba Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chrisimp 0 Posted July 27, 2007 cheers for the advice man, who are JMR? Looking to do this soon as its just done 80000 miles without it done yet. chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy665 0 Posted July 27, 2007 80k miles without a re-build, definitely living on borrowed time :shock: JMR, owned by John Mitchell have done three charger rebuilds for me now - good, quick service, he can be contacted on 07974 020031 Based down in West Sussex but can turn round a charger in 48 hours if posted down to him Although I have never used G Werks for a rebuild theres enough people on here that have so I'd safely say you can't go wrong with either of them Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sonicriot13 0 Posted July 29, 2007 That is one smart rado! :thumbleft: You defo wanna get that charger sorted though mate. If you've not got in touch with anyone yet or found any sites here's G-werks: http://www.g-werks.com/Home/1/Default.aspx How are you finding the G60? I have one as my daily and I love it to pieces. What other dubs have you had? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chrisimp 0 Posted July 29, 2007 Its become my daily due to crashing my mgtf :( And its now staying that way I love it to bits!! Buggered!!! My first car was a mk2 polo loved it (got no photos unfortunatly) Iv had sciroccos blue one broke down on the way to the ring down in dover! :( got rid right way!!! also had a black one as spares Baja never actually did anything with it though same with the beach buggy kinda vw this was a limited edition nice it was too! 8) and my main main interest is hillman imps I have a turbo one which is now the purple one use to be the white one nice un quick! O and this happened to my first mg :shock: On the G-werks note I had been pm'ing the guy on here (sorry rubbish with names) but to no luck. Cheers Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sonicriot13 0 Posted July 29, 2007 Love that Imp. That looks like fun! :D I had a nasty smash in one of my golfs about a year and a half ago. Nothing on the scale of that last pic though :shock:. Did you walk away from it? Don't know about G-werks then. Depending on who you are pming they might be at the scorcher this weekend. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chrisimp 0 Posted July 29, 2007 Yup well crawled out/away :lol: but no injurys what so ever wasnt actually a quick crash looks worse than it was. I think I will have to give g-werks a call instead be easier that way I think! What mods have you done to yours? Cheers Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
raddo-dave 0 Posted July 29, 2007 i gathered you were bored i was just behind your car when you set off, my car was parked on the grass just to the right of where the awsome van was parked across the opening http://z14.invisionfree.com/volksdevil/ ... getnewpost Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sonicriot13 0 Posted July 30, 2007 What mods have you done to yours? Cheers Chris Haven't done any mods to mine yet mate. Am actually thinking of leaving it standard for the time being at least. It's not in the greatest condition. Cosmetic things really but once the valver is fixed and sold on I'm gonna lavish loads of money and TLC on it. Gonna get it resprayed and just generally give it a huge overhaul. Get it really nice for next summer. It's definitely a keeper though. Baring any mishaps. It was my first Corrado and I just can't imagine being without it. I'm glad you weren't hurt in that accident buddy. That looks real nasty in the pics.

Oil and coolant change 5000 miles ago with new oil filter, k&N panel filter, new blue and black sensors for the coolant, and new thermostat whilst I was at it. Oil temp stays around 98-104 normal driving and up to 112-114 whilst having fun 8) always let the car warm up to 80 first. Spoiler operates as should. Im the 3rd owner, last two where a father and son who spent good money on the car, service bills ect proves this! Agin wish it didnt have to go but never mind :( Also had a toad alarm fitted CAT1 cos my insurance made me, brand new cost me £300. cheers chris phone/txt 07956668160 pm/email/reply ect Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
