    Absolutely lovely car, mate. Looks fantastic. Love everything about it. Was it modified by you? Either way, you have taste...

    Keiron. Breaking third gear is nothing to do with the turbo per se. Its a result of a gearbox that is well known to be unable to reliably handle over 400ft lb. i'm told the 2wd gearbox from a 1st gen Seat Leon Cupra R is more robust. I run my car up to 1bar of boost which gives me about 370bhp and the same torque to avoid breaking the O2a. If I do kill it I might uprate, but so far, so reliable.

    Keiron. I'm sorry buy I disagree. A GT30 is rated to 500bhp. I agree that you'll get diminishing returns towards the top end, but I still fail to understand why anyone really needs more than 400bhp in a front wheel drive car anyway. And also RonnyDi has also said that he wants 350-400bhp. I'm proof that a GT30 is perfectly adequate and anything bigger is unnecessary for this power requirement. I think that anyone who reckons they need more bhp simply hasn't been in a turbo'd VR6 with that much power. On the road there really isn't much that troubles you. And the other point is ensuring the in

    I can highly recommend a GT3071. Produces up to 450hp easily and delivers it really easily. On my VRT its spooling from 1700rpm and by 2500 its off! By 4000rpm its ripping your face off. I run mine T 11psi and its more than enough for the road frankly. And I've got a diff. The point is that its really well specced for the VR. A friend had a GT3076 and that too was an excellent turbo for the VR. I'd say don't be tempted to go bigger as you simply don't need to. A GT30 frame will make for a quicker real world car as the performance is that much more accessible. HTH

    If your in the south of England, i can highly recommend United Motorsports which did the live remapping (from a base file), which took account of my mods (cams, filter, exhaust etc). Organised through The Phirm based in Camberley, Surrey. All down recently along with a couple of other bits and very happy to have the car back. Charlie

    Sold.

    Really sorry to say that I will no longer be able to make this RR day now. It's a real shame but a family engagement has come up which has trumped it sadly. Was looking forward to seeing what the Golf would make too! Hey ho. Next time. Sorry to mess you around VR6CABBS but thought the sooner you knew the batter. Best wishes. Charlie

    Thought I would start a thread for my VR6 Golf. I am lucky enough to own a Corrado VRT as a weekend toy, so this is the daily. Have been a (smallish ) part of this forum for a few years now and have always been impressed with the standard of some people's cars. Have had this mk3 for 4 years, having had a auto 3-door Highline beforehand. I was Iucky enough to find this one available for sale just at the right time when I was looking for a good one, and the bonus was that this one had had a load of work already done to it including a set of 17s, Coilovers a Jetex stainless system and HIDs.

    Its worth doing the clutch whilst your there, so factor the cost of a new one in at the same time.

    This sounds great. well done on a great job. Its always the last little bits that turn out not to be little or small bits either - the 20% that takes 80% of your time. Still getting it running right takes time also. Welcome to the VRT club. Awesome fun...

    Dave. Just to let you know that I've had no time to fit the short shifter yet but will send back my old shifter to you as soon as I can. Charlie
  17. chazrad
    Dave. I'd like one of these please for my mk3. Let me know how you want paying (assume £55) by PM. Do you have one you can send me, then I'll send my one back to you. Thanks. Charlie
  18. chazrad
    Are these sold then? If not, very interested... Thanks.

    (Mods, please excuse this advertising of an event from a different club, but time is very short and in order reach maximum audience of Corrado owners and CCGB members who use this forum, I thought it a good idea.) Chaps, A blinding opportunity for some lucky soul...one of our number has sadly had to withdraw from the CCGB road trip around Wales that runs next week. He has kindly advised me that the accommodation which has been paid for should be offered to another club member who might be able to enjoy it in his place. So here it is: Do you own a Corrado? Preferred but not essential. A VR

    This sounds like tremendous fun. I've been telling myself to go on a driving trip to Wales (incl N Wales) for some time. I really want to do the Evo Triangle. But this will be great too, especially doing it with other like-minded individuals. Really hopng I can make it.

    Hi. I too posted up on the Corrado Forum that I want to attend and run the car at this event, but thought I'd post here too, so I'd be grateful if you'd stick me down please. Let me know how you want to collect the money for the deposit. Charlie
