Newbie - Corrado G60

Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

 

I bought a Corrado G60 that was advertised on Piston Heads a few months ago and joined the forum shortly after but hav'nt posted yet. It's a J plate, Red G60 with full black leathers and only 2 previous owners.

 

It was totally standard when I picked it up and was in lovely condition. The only engine mods were a Miltek Exhaust (cat removed) 68mm pulley and SNS chip. It had a full service at GWERKS with a standard charger rebuild so it's all good in that department.

 

Being the dub-head & speed freek that I am, I could'nt leave it standard :nuts:

 

In the few months I've had it I've done the following. Fitted :

 

-K&N Filter & drilled air box

-Boost Return Mod

-Front Mount Intercooler

-Slimline Radiator Fan

-RSR Outlet (thanks to flusted!)

-FK Coilovers

-De-Badge Grill

-15"x8" Black Compomotives ( Temporarily nicked from my Mk1 )

 

+ lots of the other little jobs.

 

The above engine mods has made it a lot quicker ! It's pretty quick now and fun to drive !

 

I don't want to go all out on it, as it's a daily driver and I have a 250bhp Mk1 20vt to play with on the side 8)

 

A few poor quality phone pics :

I reckon the wheels look better in real life, but with 15's, it scrapes everywhere ! Especially in West London !

 

Anyways, what you guys reckon, I'm a bit new to G60's, any other tricks to get a few more ponies ?

 

Cheers :)
