Haha. I stole it off the VWNW page [emoji106] wish I could say I've been busy polishing but in reality I just took it the car wash Still, is good enough, not looking likely I will have the engine bay open tomorrow as my attempts to fix the bonnet cable clip has failed so far! Which is a shame as it's one of the best bits under the bonnet. Will try again tomorrow in day light.... -

Last pass has now gone, full stand [emoji106] fingers crossed for no rain tomorrow - glad Dave has a gazebo. I'm looking to be there for around 8:30 - I'm aware there is some road works on the m56 if anyone is travelling that way - please allow for extra time for travelling, ensure your passes are on display by the time you approach mereheath lane as no pass will mean no entry. Looking forward to tomorrow guys hopefully we can get a midlands meet of regulars going off the back of this -
What is the best Radiator?
VR6Pete replied to jayeshjethwa's topic in Engine Maintenance and Problems
I put a "hella" one on my Corrado and it's highly recommended, got mine from http://www.radiatorshop.net -
Some good words there mate and they ring very true, if looked after the vr6 is a timeless car [emoji106] and as the saying goes " they don't build them like they used too! "

Pete's OBD2 Corrado VR6 - On The Road
VR6Pete replied to VR6Pete's topic in Members Rides and Event Photos
Over 500 miles done so far, mostly covered in wales Been a real good week although came back earlier due to heavy rain flooding the camp site! I ended up buying a roof rack and box with taking 2 kids, 8 birth tent, the mrs and a puppy! Wasn't all trouble free though! Broke the bonnet release cable on the release mechanism so had to order this: http://www.gruvenparts.com/billet-corrado-hood-cable-clip/ and hopefully should be able to open my bonnet again doh! Also need a new bonnet latch as that has somehow got bent so need order a new one! Might also need a crank sensor too as sometimes -

If someone wants the pass for the last place it's yours, but you'll have to meet me before the show on Sunday as it's now too late to post it out. Yeah Dave gazebo will be ideal mate -

Still waiting for the address of mcpikie. So I'll open this up to a reserve now. I need to get these posted out by lunch time tomorrow as I'm on holiday until Saturday. -
210 from an engine with light mods is pretty healthy mate. BMC's make a noticeable difference too

It was off the dip stick every 300 miles mate, Vince said it wouldn't have lasted out the summer, there was loads of wear in bore 1 and 6 and some nasty piston slap. Was also way down on power too.

Pete's OBD2 Corrado VR6 - On The Road
VR6Pete replied to VR6Pete's topic in Members Rides and Event Photos
It's hard work! Done around 160 miles so far. -
My 120k engine was nailed. It's obviously had a hard life, was using ALOT of oil and suffered some severe piston slap. Just had a full engine rebuild though, well sourced a 2.8 block and bored it up to a 2.9l and drives amazing now sounds completely different than before, even though I am running it in.
