big ben 10 Posted May 21, 2010 right that's clinched it... i'm adding "Re-spray" to the list of things to do! it is worth it, makes the car look loads better and brighter, just gutting when it gets stone chipped and that!! theres no way i would spend 2k on a spray job unless it was purely a show car!

big ben 10 Posted July 10, 2010 well, the beast is back and being used daily then... finally put the VR6 badge back on the front, finishes it off nicely.. picked it up off the phirm last saturday, where i have had the timing chains done, dump valve turned into a re-circ as it had a flat spot, but then it still didnt solve it completely, it made it better but not perfect. so they have put a 2.8 throttle body on and thats changed it into a new car!! it has a more linear curve for the map to read appartently.. to say im chuffed is an understatement, it drives amazing on the C2 now, everything is spot on so good times :) and not only that, i had the bay freshened up while they were there, think you will agree its a lot better now... before... after... thats it for now, plenty on the "wanted" list for later this year thats for sure...

PaulMoVR6 0 Posted July 10, 2010 Car looks great ben, very jealous :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OSV 0 Posted July 10, 2010 Very subtle for a turbo install, a little more attention on the bay and you'd never guess there was a blower at a quick glance, sleeper :luvlove: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
big ben 10 Posted July 12, 2010 cheers everyone, its a start anyway.. got to clean the bay and do all the little bits now so it looks factory fresh :D and the Rotas dont rub at all but then i havent got it that low tbh as i like to drive it pretty hard and not worry about it! even with a full car it doesnt rub at all and gets over speed humps Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dukest 0 Posted July 12, 2010 bay looks excellent now, was never a fan of the clashing colours (i know you only bought it like that) so definitely a big improvement! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marcus and you have really done a corrado proud. wont be so embarrassed letting people see the bay now secondly, if i had your engine bay i wouldn't care if it was painted bright pink with that setup!!!
