Corrado VR6 - Already Modified

Recommended Posts

Looks good dude. :)

 

Random question, do you still have the Venom's? If so i want them. Haha.

 

Yep still here, but not for sale, it actually took along time to get 16s in 4x100 haha

 

I got lucky when my mate bought a very 90's Astra GTE Mk2 for breaking which had them on.

 

 

I will probably only get round to sorting the plates when i get fined for them, i have the new ones in the boot but sometimes i need a kick up the ass to sort something so trival.

Not updated in ages, probably the main changes are (Done plenty of mechanical and service items as well):

 

Standard headlights,

Standard grill but colour coded,

Headlight protectors,

New s/s exhaust inc De-Cat and much smaller tail pipe,

312mm Front brakes and Mk4 Rears + Goodridge hoses,

Replaced split Samco with a full set of black Venair coolant hoses,

Replaced Dubpower leads for Beru OEM,

New windscreen and seals,

 

The reason for the update though is the car is currently having a full respray - So im pretty committed to keeping it for more years to come.

Still covered in dust etc but still exciting to look at. Starting to think maybe the rear needs a little lowering. I wont get the car back though till next week due to Autoglass taking an age to fit a new windscreen.

 

Got some new cheap seats, never had bucket seats before.

Not sure tbh. If they don't they go back on ebay no issues as i didn't pay much for them. They don't seem much wider then a standard seat and the base or by the shoulders, I think they look wider in the picture i posted. They have been mightly comfy in my living room playing Gran Turismo.

First wash, not been waxed yet or anything fancy just a quick shampoo to get the bodyshop dust off mainly.

 

I managed to drive from the bodyshop (About 2 miles from my house) home and find out my radiator had split. So i used the one out of my brothers VR6 whilst i waited for new bits to arrive. Whilst checking the leak i found out my secondary waterpump had gone to crap as it sounded like lots of plastic bits being crunched inside it.

 

So after paying the bodyshop bill i had to buy more parts including new tyres all round as i don't want to crash the car now due to cheap/crap tyres so im very skint right now ha

 

Parts fitted this week:

Radiator

Plastic elbow and seal,

Venair pipes on the oil cooler (I didn't fit them when i did the others due to access)

Oil temp sensor

Rad fan belt

All 3 engine mounts

Aux waterpump

 

Just for reference my bay is still dirty from the bodyshop but its shows the change over the last few years - Less blue!

As for the Corbeau seats, they sit very nice in there - Not to wide. So i just need to buy the correct frames for them.
