New member and Corrado VR6

[Keyo 47]

HI,

 

I would like to introduce myself and my 1995 UK Black Magic Corrado VR6, black leather. Apparantley it's a rare colour ????

 

The car was advertised for 5k but I managed to get the car down to 3k as the car had not seen much love in the last 3 years, however the last owner but one owned it for 15 years and had a good spray job and a Shrick VGI with ECU re map, also the guy I purchased it from had just had the timing chain, gasket, guides and seals done at a VW specilist. I nailed him on the price as I have not long completed a project on a R129 SL500 and learnt the costs of bringing a car back to factory drive/cosmetics but well worth it.

 

Car also came with new radiator and hoses,lupo wipers, heater matrix, battery, uprated lighting loom, hd leads coil pack etc. Sunroof and spoiler working perfectly.

 

The car had Koni and H&R springs, VT mounts fitted at Stealth in 2003, was really trashy on the road though which is to be expected for the age of the components. Also the engine bay was looking very tatty and I prefer a stock Air Box for easy maintenance filter changes.

 

So I have under gone a midlife refresh on the car to keep it alive.

 

Parts fitted since ownership

 

Chrome screws and bolts in engine bay

Under Bonnet insulation from Germany , ordered initially the kit from VW heritage was awful:bonk:.

Second Hand airbox + radiator cover from AMOS

Rear registration light trim,old one had rusted out.

So just the body work left now which has rusting arches and rust by the spoiler.

 

Can anyone recommenend any other sensor parts etc that if not operating correctly could lower performnce of engine. The Shrick appears to be working well , red light comes on at 4000 revs and the actuator pops up as it should and no lack of performance over 4000 revs.

Any recommendations off some of the members would be appreciated.

 

Will post some pictures of her when she has been to the body shop.

 

Thanks.
