[Jim 1]

Happy belated birthday matey!!

 

i remember Jims face when i gave him the keys to mine when it was supercharged, hes face was priceless.

 

Haha :) The thing with the supercharged VR is that it remains fairly mild mannered at low and initially into the midrange - but if you leave your foot down it gets a bit hairy. Your car wasn't completely terrifying but I just loved the whole package - especially the whistling, chattering supercharger backed by that sublime VR6 engine note. And yeah - just a bit exciting when you open the taps :) :)

 

In the interests of balance, etc clearly I need a shot at driving the R32 one as well ;) *cough cough* :D

I'd love to come over and have a look when it's finished Karl?

 

And a belated Happy B'day mate!

 

Good to see the lump in! 8)

Well done Karl. Does the engine sit straight onto the VR mounts with no modification? What about the driveshafts? Thats great if this is the case. Might very well be on the cards for me next year. Looking forward to loads of progress pics and comments :)

Belated Happy Birthday from me too- hope you had a good 'un :)

 

When do you reckon it'll all be up and running then?

[CorradoVR6-Turbo 0]

[KADVR6 0]

cheers for the b' day wishes :) it wont be running for at least a month i think/hope. i'm really starting to miss it also :(

 

but i'm slowly getting parts re-attached ready for when the ECU will be getting all wired up. today was re-attaching all the gearbox cables/fitting the alternator/power steering pump/heater matrix pipework, and fitting my nice red rocker cover 8)
