KADVR6 0 Posted July 30, 2012 well over the last few weekends i have been busy on the corrado. 1, dropped the sump and fitted new piston rings after measuring the bores, and was happy to see that they were all in amazing condition with no bore wear at all. 2, fitted the new cylinder head with all new gaskets bolts so no leaks at all 3, fired her up AND It runs and sounds as sweet as any vr6 i have heard, its so quite and with 100% no smoke at all so i'm happy with that, its going for the MOT on thursday and then after i have cleaned her up she will be for sale, i dont want to sell her but needs must i'm afraid to say. so a for sale thread will be put up soon, and want 4k for her which i think is a good price i reckon for her. karl Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted July 30, 2012 The bodywork on the VR is stunning so with a sweet running engine, I'm sure you'll get what you're asking Karl. Sorry it has to go especially as you've got a real good one.. but good luck with the sale. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Abdul 0 Posted July 30, 2012 Bollox it's the wrong time for me or I'd have had it off you Karl. Mind you blackberry isnt my thing but I reckon the condition of the car sells it regardless. Good luck mate! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lilfuzzer 1 Posted July 31, 2012 Ah shame your selling mate but glad u got the engine sorted good luck with the sale bud Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KADVR6 0 Posted August 30, 2012 well after loads do i dont i feelings in my head about selling the corrado i have come up with a final decision, and she will be up for sale tomorrow/saturday :-( i just cant drive the car without being in discomfort even on very short journeys, and i have bought an 06 plate skoda vrs to replace the BMW 330ci that was written off. So a for sale thread will be getting written tomorrow for my car. And i will be choosy as to who has her, i'm not gonna let her go to someone who will not look after her. karl Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rado mc 0 Posted August 30, 2012 Hey, stumbled onto this thread whilst looking about the place. sorry to hear about your recent bad luck. your vr6 looks mint, nearly got a blackberry a few months ago. Was interested in the comments about back complaints and corrado's seats. I'm about 6'3 and after owning a firm corrado for several years my back/sciatic nerve etc proper packed in, stumping docs and physio's alike to why. (33 yrs young too!) i figured it was the amount of bending under the bonnet and pushing it that did me in but not the driving too that's the best thing. After an opp for me and the car garaged for 3 years but now about to undertake engine transplant etc to bring it back should i be slightly concerned i'm thinking?? it was nice driving 'normal' cars in the meantime but now its calling me back... Hope you get sorted soon. cheers, Andy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KADVR6 0 Posted August 31, 2012 well here is a pic of the new skoda, its going for its remap next friday so looking forward to that. and also started getting the corrado ready for selling her, its gonna be hard to sell her when she is looking this clean :-( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lilfuzzer 1 Posted September 15, 2012 Hi mate just read your add hopefully will be a quick and easy sale for you bud. Glad the skoda is being a bit more pleasant on your back Also any chance you could send that tool back buddy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The_Dude 0 Posted September 15, 2012 Beautiful car, worth every penny imo. If I could afford it, I'd buy it and stick my turbo lump in and then never sell it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KADVR6 0 Posted December 6, 2012 Well got a guy from off ED38 flying down from Scotland on saturday morning to view/buy/drive the corrado off :-( so took her out for one last drive tonight, it just felt nice taking her out on the open road for possibly the last time. Will let you all know how it goes on saturday. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
