KADVR6 0 Posted September 29, 2007 (edited) well since i have taken the RC's off the car, and selling them :( seeming i have my rather nice new BBS LM's for summer 8) i needed some winter alloys. so went to a local scrap yard, and bought some 16" TT alloys i think they look rather nice on the car?? and they make the TT front brakes look even bigger :) must say it does handle slightly better than the RC's, but they are no where near as nice looking. oh yeh, they also only cost £50 with virtually brand new bridgestone potenza's 8) karl Edited August 30, 2012 by KADVR6 stop being so nosey Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Goldie 2 Posted September 30, 2007 ID have been happy to pay 175 quid for them nevermind bartering them down from 75.. I think you should sell me your RCs for 50 quid and then we have both landed a bargain.. :) Any interesting and cheap wheels knocking about for my golf that you know of??

StormchargedVR6 0 Posted September 30, 2007 RCs are the best wheel for rado, may be not for looks but defo for weight saving. I luv my RKII ,but drives so much better with RCs :) but they are 16'', which i think is best. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KADVR6 0 Posted October 9, 2007 well the old girl went for her MOT today :( and after the MOT had a phone call from the garage. "well did it pass or fail" i said. the guy told me it was without any question the best condition 14 year car he has ever had on the ramps, he could not find one thing wrong with it. 8) then he comented on the strange whistling noise :) so i took him for a (spirited drive) down the nearest dual carriage way, when he stopped shaking :lol: he said he has got to get one of these bloody great cars. :lol: karl Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
herisites 0 Posted October 9, 2007 Good news karl! And well done on scaring the schitt out of him :lol: i done the same thing lastnight, had a guy coming to pick some bits up that i sold on ebay and once money had changed hands etc he asked me about my corrado and said that he is looking into getting one so i tok him for a blast, i think his exact words were "Fcuk me this thing goes like a b@stard! I gotta get me one of these!" :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KADVR6 0 Posted February 4, 2008 well as some of you have heard?? i bought LicklePauls storm get vr6 off him 2 weeks ago (for a grand) well i took it for an MOT, and god did it fail in style :( i need new brake discs/pads all round, all brake pipes need replacing, all the wheel bearings need replacing, the radiator blew up while they were checking the brakes?? it was only running on about 4 cylinders, plus loads more little jobs to do. but for a grand its a very good base project, unfortunately i just cant afford another car to run, so my little brother is going to have it :) i'm keeping the brembos (getting new discs/pads this week) i'm keeping the front bumper as i love it, i'm having the H&R coilovers also. my brother will be starting he's own thread soon, but thought i would show you what we have done so far. its running so smooth now we have put in some new plugs/leads, its probably the quitest vr6 i have ever heard 8) a new radiator has been installed (cheers Alex303) and will be getting some standard brakes fitted soon. when this car is sorted?? i will be starting on mine again :) karl Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CorradoVR6-Turbo 0 Posted February 4, 2008 glad to see it get sorted Karl and go to a member of family 8) dubs in the Blood! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alex303 0 Posted February 17, 2008 no worries Karl, glad it helped! :) did you get the alternator sorted?, as i still have a 70A kicking around your welcome too have Alex. its probably the quitest vr6 i have ever heard 8) a new radiator has been installed (cheers Alex303) and will be getting some standard brakes fitted soon. when this car is sorted?? i will be starting on mine again :) karl Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KADVR6 0 Posted March 7, 2008 well i thought it was time the car had a proper wash :) so spent the last 2 days giving it a good wash/waxing. also letting people see the carbon bonnet, as i have been asked loads due to the possible group buy who want to see it. also the Brembo's are on and working perfectly 8) going from 280's to 312's is a big jump in performance, but whacking these on is in another leauge 8) the way you can haul the car down from 120mph is just amazing. i have also put on the reiger GTX??? front bumper on, this will also aid cooling for the upcoming charge cooler, as it sits just perfectly in the middle bumper recess. thats about it for now, i will get some pics of the interior tomorrow as i cant be arsed anymore today, and i'm going for a beer :lol: karl Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

herisites 0 Posted March 7, 2008 Looks fantastic Karl mate good work! Was very impressed with the brakes when i saw them last weekend, just hope they fit under your new LM reps :shock: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yorkshireone 0 Posted March 7, 2008 Very nice, the brakes look mean behind those rims. I think with some all red rears that car would be perfect. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KADVR6 0 Posted March 7, 2008 cheers guys, and yeh i will be there on sunday michael 8) as for all red rears, i had them on the car last year, but did not like the fact people could not tell when it was sunny (not often) that you were indicating at junctions etc etc, and i had some near rear end shunts :? so they came off. next week i'm getting the alloys powder coated in a matt black finish like you get on barbecues??
