VR6 Gar 10 Posted February 20, 2011 Hello everyone. Picked up my first Corrado on Saturday, a pearl green Vr. Here are some pics from the advert, not got my own yet Maybe someone recognizes it, has a club sticker in the back window. Only owned golfs for the past 10 years, 1 mk2 2.0 16v and 3 mk1's. The most recent car being a Lhasa green mk1 16v on bike carbs, track setup with coilovers, eibach arbs, widetrack etc,(soon to be sold) so will be asking lots of questions soon no doubt as i have no Rado or vr6 knowledge. Decided I wanted something a bit more practical and road friendly, hence the Rado. Pretty amazed by just how well it handles, very neutral and grippy, even with a big vr up front. Needs some things sorting like sunroof, central locking and water temp gauge, common problems by the sound of things. Other than that a very tidy car that I am extremely pleased with. Gareth.

VR6 Gar 10 Posted February 20, 2011 Yeh, although I had to drive a 520 mile round trip for it. Well worth it though for the price. I really dont understand why the bottom has fallen out of the Corrado market so badly in the last few years, they are amazing cars. I got called a barsteward by a mate when I turned up in it as he has wanted a Vr Rado for years. Just thought I would mention I am 'mk1 valver' on cgti and swdubs.

Yandards 0 Posted February 21, 2011 Looks tidy, is that a dizzy or coilpack VR (I am going to assume dizzy on a K plate)? The rear light cluster could do with some adjustment, they are supposed to be in a straight line, fairly easy to do and would tidy the back end up no end.

VR6 Gar 10 Posted February 21, 2011 Its a dizzy. Only going to be a weekend car mainly as i have a work van. Will be adjusting the rear lights in due course, got to sort a few other bits out first. More of a lurker on swdubs, posting occasionally. My sig over there looks like this. Cheers, for the warm welcome guys:thumbleft: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
