    Alternatively speak to Andy Walker at PSI Tuning in Newcastle Under Lyme, he knows his stuff and sorted me out when I needed a new engine. He stuck a 24v lump in for me www.psituning.com

    Mine: 1994 Corrado VR6 - 2001 Golf 4motion Engine (BDE) [lightbox=../../e107_files/public/1176982274_1910_FT125435_cor_rolling2.jpg][/lightbox]

    Which one do you prefer the look of mate? As people have said, there isnt really "that" much in it. Personally, I dont like MK3's so that is my answer, its all down to personal taste. Also the Corrado has already been classed as a future classic by Top Gear and the likes. Pop over to www.the-corrado.net to see some of the cars on there. You will also find some nice standard examples, but you have to expect to pay a slight premium on those. Try and get a test drive in one of each, and see what you think. Either way, they both sound great 8)

    Here's a cat amongst pigeons guys, will these work on the 24v V6? I need some for the golf. Also, will I need the amp, or can it be changed in the 4mo ecu? Cheers

    Ive got a 24v in my Corrado with Custom-Code remap, K&N Induction, Stainless Magnex and its kicking out 234 BHP and 216lb/ft. It pulls quite well to say the least, and its quicker than the mrs 4mo Golf by a fair bit, but doesnt have the added weight of 4WD.

    Hi all Has anyone used these coils? http://www.msdignition.com/coil_blaster_9_8224.htm Theyre supposed to be loads beter than the standard VW coil pack, but Im not sre if they work on the 4motion 2.8 24v engine (AUE), so Im after some info about them really. You can also get a mounting bracket for them here: http://www.gruvenparts.com The whole lot also work out cheaper than the standard coil pack.

    You rang I dont think its the same mate, but I can find out. I know there was a lot of splicing going on. The mk4 clocks have been implanted into my car, but they are hidden behind the Corrado clocks. that way it bypasses the immobiliser circuit, but keeps the Corrado OE look.

    Cheers guys. He's one of the best in the business Nick, and highly recommended. He isnt happy about the placement of the air filter, but theres bugger all room in there. Gonna have to get a cold air feed in there from somewhere!!?? !dodge

    Got her back and shes awesome!!!! What a car!!! First impressions were........Its so quiet! I could hardly hear it tick over, and when I got in the car to move it I actually thought I'd stalled it !amazed When I took it for a quick blast I was so surprised by how smooth it was, I never expected it to be so refined. But it doesnt detract from the throaty growl of the VR, I think it actually improves it! Andy told me it the torque kicks in really low, and he wasnt kidding. I dabbed the accelerator in first at about 2k and the wheels lit up. So I backed off and went a bit more gradually. Got on

    What about Preston? The Corrado guys had a meet a few months back near Riversway.
