    (im loving the sig by the way....cheating git!)

    I've always loved Beetles and always wanted one (Blame Bumblebee...) and it would be a daily driver as well. I would use the beetle during the summer & @ pod, and the Corrado when the wethers not so good. not really into Mk2's tbh. I use the Corrado for track days anyway. Probably not as much fun on track as a mk2, but still, dont really want one.

    Are the Brembo's from a Leon Cupra R 4 pot? Coz i seem to remember someone saying they fit straight on. If not, companies like Wilwood do a 4 pot conversion that bolts straight on.

    Mr_GTI, no no no, u misunderstand!! The Beetle would mean I could keep the Corrado as well! I think Ive decided against the TT, so now its a) keep Corrado and get Charger keep Corrado and get Quicker Beetle c) keep Corrado and maybe do things like respray and other cosmetic thingies.

    I would guess its just Calipers & carriers (plus the obvious disc's). Just done mine actually, tho i went for 312mm setup (uses same calipers as the 288's) so needed a few extra bits, and the difference!! OMG!

    Crikey m8, u make it sound like they are devil reincarnated!! LOL! Personally, I dont think they are that bad. Granted some parts are probably a tad more than mk3 vr parts, but thats coz u may be able to get the bits easier from a scrappy!! Door handles? Rear ones from a passat do the job..... But all in all, no worse than a lot of other cars, such Audi's etc.

    see now something else has been thrown into the mix.... I've been offered a mint Tax exempt Turbo'd Beetle, which runs sub 13's 1/4 miles......

    no not quite got enuf for a 3.2, but I'm thinking that maybe thats what I'll go for in the end. I'm going to keep the Corrado for another couple years. So in the meantime, the question now has changed a little.. Do I get a Charger now and get things like respray (keyed down one side ) done in a few months, when should hopefully have some spare cash from house sale. Or do I get the bodywork sorted and do the charger in a few months....?
  10. swfblade
    well ive finally got enuf for a supercharger now, so its decision time!!!
  11. swfblade
    hey its all personal choice m8! I love the VR6 sound, always have! I also not denying that the S4 shifts like stink, but it still just seems like an RS4 wannabe. Personal opinion.
  12. swfblade
    Guys guys, I know what 20vt's sound like! I've been around running a dub club long enuf to know! (h) I know they sound like a diesel on start up and tbh nothing, cept the new RS4, matches the 12v VR6 for noise! VR6MadMike, I dont like BMW's. They've just got that persona around them. And Im a dub nut, so its gotta be VAG. NiceVR6, good point. I'd not considered the 3.2, figured they might still be too new and hence too pricey, will look into them as an option for sure. Antera309, you bring up a good point re power. As ive said already, power isnt a hude issue for me, but I'd deffo spend £50
  13. swfblade
    oh and I always thought the Corrado was a Golf mk2 floor pan?
  14. swfblade
    Not really. I know the weight of a Corrado VR6 = 1240kg and a Golf Mk4 R32 = 1552kg. Thats quite a jump. my point was that they are a fair size & not a coupe. Im not expalining what I mean very well...LOL! I'm just not looking for a mk4 Golf. They are just too heavy and not really me tbh.
  15. swfblade
    S2 isnt worth it imo, considering ive got a Corrado VR6. S3, same reasons as R32. S4 & RS4 are awesome motors, but S4 just doesnt quite do it for me. Its almost saying "Im like an RS4, but Im not good enuf". RS4 are just too much cash.
  16. swfblade
    Trouble with the R32 is that I'm a bit of a Coupe lover now, after having my 2 Corrado's. Not sure I'd like to go for a big heavy mk4 Golf. I know TT's are fairly heavy, but they've got power to cope and they are a coupe. Thing thats brought all this on is the pics of those ones at ultimate....my god those TT's look sweet!!
  17. swfblade
    yeah i get what you mean, but again, its not all about the speed anymore. Costs as u say are much the much, and yes a TT is more to buy, but thats coz its newer. And thats my whole point. Just thinking about getting a newer motor, obvious choice being the TT. And after seeing some of those TT's at ultimate makes me want one even more!! LOL!
  18. swfblade
    Thing is, I've done the speed thing, and while I know a charged VR is the business, Im just fancying something a bit newer. 20vt's are good for serious power, if I wanted it, and some of the ones Ive seen at shows look sweet. Im just toying with the idea at the mo, but i really do feel like I want something newer.
  19. swfblade
    I'm seriously considering selling my Corrado VR and getting a TT 225, instead of getting a Supercharger for my VR..... :S
  20. swfblade
    those seats are sweet! Defiantly not stock.
  21. swfblade
    u dont need to be a moderator to advertise!! The ad has to be approved by a mod.... Anyway, im quite interested in seeing this interior now, been playing with the idea of a retrim in mine....
  22. swfblade
    i dont think there ever was..... *-):?
  23. swfblade
    apologies again for not making it, why do things always seem to happen at the weekends for me..... Again, I'll be at the next one, barring another crisis..lol

    No Power

    swfblade replied to GB2878's topic in Corrado

    always my first thought on this: Ignition starter switch.
