I believe there is also a link to it on the Corrado forum.

i drilled mine out completely then used a shallow headed bolt and nut to hold the plate surrounds on. Only one was siezed, the other just free'd up!
-
i paid 4k for mine with 105k, fsh and too many owners to be true, but i like it! I also found it easier to find a Highline at that price than a high spec VR.

item removed by ebay!

As for the specs, the VR6 Highline comes in Black Magic and Mulbeery. The black one has black heated leather, the mulberry has purple. They come with aircon, e/w, e/s/r and e/m along with a few little styling changes. "Normal" VR6's can also come with leather and aircon as it was still an option, they could also come with Recaro's. Standard equipment is full electrics. Post 96 models (Highlines and normal ones) have OBD2 management which tends to allow more power than the OBD1 models. Although the stock figure is 174bhp, they always seems to give more like 180-185 minimum when running rig

Excellent! Cheers! PM'd him now. Vince did find a chip hanging round his place, which is more than likely from a VR6 (his words were "the only car we have anything to do with that uses this type of chip is the OBD2 VR6's, so i can't see that it'd be from anything else". Perhaps a complete ECU is a better idea.......
-
Just spoken to Vince. The standard chip should be soldered in to the board, but some nice fellow has changed that for me. Now all i need to do is source a standard OBD2 chip............ He's looking for one that he thinks he has there and i'll find out more in a moment, other wise, and of you supercharged guys (or otherswise chipped guys) got a standard OBD2 chip????

or my black one (N307 NGT)

I really wish i didn't keep apperaing on these lists, it make smine look piss poor!! For the record, i'd like to say that my run was aborted at 5221rpm due to mad pinking, that is not all it has!
-
It's mounted on the ECU mounting plate and looks like a temp sender of some sorts. Any idea what it's for, no one seems to know!!
-
My company just accepted the standard fit when they asked me if it was protected at all. Similar thing when i bought the Corrado. Although with that, i phoned for a quote and they told me that the factory alarm/immob was not accepted, but when i rang to get it covered, they accepted it no problem!
-
Mines a 96 Highline, so i would have thought it'd be (supposedly), a later style......... Didn't remove the piggy back, as it was starting to get a bit dusky and didn't really want to be pissing about in the dark getting it all sorted so put it back as it was. I'm gonna give Vince a bell later this morning and have a chat with him to see what he can recommend.
-
Was a good day i thought, even though my car was more than a let down! 167bhp@5221, and lifted off at that due to dangerous amounts of pinking! Shame i had to get back and couldn't make it to teh pub for a swift half. I understand it was left out of Stealth and it's just down the road on the right???
-
Hee hee, can't beat a bit of R/C! I've been racing for a while, and still do (on and off when the money allows), and it's still a good laugh. That's pretty much how i drive mine too!!
-
I opened up my VR6 ECU at last this afternoon to find that the chip wasn't exactly what i was expecting to see. I was expecting a rectangular eprom with a label on it but the only thing i could actually see that slightly resembled the chip was a small square one (about 20-25mm sq), that was pugged into a brown socket (and actually looked very similar to the old maths co-processors in old PC's). Anyway, this was towards the rear of the board, and had what looked to be a piggy back devive pluggedc into it. It was like a small board with yet another brown socket and chip on. Chipped?????

cheapest place to buy cabling/front components?
cliveyp replied to cliveyp's topic in I.C.E, Security an Electrical
i'm not planning on buying from there, but that's where i've seen them. Cheers for those though Mat, i'll try them. Gotta try and get my headunit in before too long, the missus is getting fed up of moving it round the kitchen! -
I don't want anything too pricey, as it's only for my own benefit and i'm not a complete audiophile, but i'm after the best place to buy all of the speaker cables and power/earth cables for my ICE, cos it really is about time i started to put it in! Where can people recommend?? I was using the AutoLeads stuff in the MK2 and was happy enough with it so it's not like i need the reallyy good stuff! Any ideas? Also after some decent ish components for the front. Was looking at the Infinty ones (about £100 in Halfords). Any alternatives that people can recommend for similar money?
-
reminising (sp?) eh! I loved my MK2 too. Was only an 8V, but i alays had the plans of VR6ing it. I then decided to be really stupid and sell the thing that had soaked up all my spare cash from the last 2.5 years and buy a Corrado.......... Made even worse when the bloke that i sold it to put most of it back to standard! It was a near mint black 3 door on a H, coilovers, Ronal Turbo's, full magnex with twin 3.5" pipes, single lamp grille (which would have been a rallye front had i kept it any longer), smoked lights all round, all the ICE sorted.......and then i sold it......
-
bit low for a charged 2.9 eh..... shame that! Sure it'll be flying before too long though! Best of luck with it!
-
it's a dealer suplied metal VW keyring that i've got, and it is pretty good. No cheap shit here! Cost me 2 quid from Inters a few years back.
-
i want one! i wonder if i have any straight side on pics.......

pay day

warming it up by leaving it to tickover when you're off doing other things can shit the plugs up over time, i believe. I'm not saying a don't do it, as sometimes i do, but i am led to believe that the most effective methof is to drive it keeping the revs low, which is what i usually do. Then give it some bamboo once the oil is around 75....... [ Edited Thu Jan 20 2005, 12:15PM ]

you can go just as fast, just slow down a bit more for the bends. I don't tend to push along too much on the open roads anyway, we have far too many tractors round by us for that, but when the mood hits you, theres nothing better than a quick belt through the lanes on a summer morning!

the way my boss asks me if i've finished something when he hasn't asked me to do it, or when someone asks him a question on the phone and he asks me what i know about it without actually telling me what IT is!
