    Hi all Is anyone attending this years Stonor Park? I don't think I will have the car finished and MOT'ed by then but it would be good to meet some people. Ryan

    I used to run a solid front engine mount on my mk2 with the 4 branch manifold. If the 6 branch manifold is fitted do any companies produce a solid front engine mount for the vr6?

    cheers for that. I will wait till it gets through its mot before I do anything. All I am going to weld on the wishbones is along the join between the upper and lower parts. I did it to my mk1 along with polybushing to make the front end stiffer. That along with the upper and lower strut braces I have made should stiffen the front end up nicely. Ryan

    Hi all I have two questions regarding the above. I am thinking about fitting a decat pipe and raceland manifold but since my car is going in for it's mot soon will it require the cat? Its a K plate 1992 car. Also I plan on welding and polybushing my front wishbones and just happen to have a set of mk3 2l 8v golf gti ones lying about. Would these fit? Cheers ryan

    I plan on using my own megasquirt ECU anyway so all I would need is the loom, inlet manifold and throttle body along with the lambda sensor. what is the differences between my original manifold and throttle body? is mines a larger diameter? Also I plan to use a decat pipe once the car has been through its MOT but will it make any noticeable difference? Ryan

    Hi all I am new to the forum and to owning a vr6 but I picked this up for a couple of hundred pounds. Its going to be my weekend toy/track car. Its got lots of history and a few mods already. The guy that had it previously fitted 312mm brakes, 17" alloys , coilovers and a stainless steel exhaust. It did have an electrical problem behind the dash so I have had to rewire it but hopefully it will work.

    So whats required to do the obd 2 conversion...Is it the inlet manifold, throttle body, wiring loom and ecu? I take it that it's from a later model vr6 as I have the early 2.9 vr6 engine from what I can gather. I do fancy going turbocharged but it is the hassle of stripping down the engine to change the pistons etc. Ryan

    Hi all I am new here and to owning a corrado vr6 and have a few questions. I plan to use my car for track days mainly and at the weekends so I plan to do a few mods to the engine. I was hoping someone can give me some advice. The mods I plan are as follows: Megasquirt ecu Motorbike throttle bodies Upgraded cams( newman or cat?) 6 branch manifold decat pipe(I have heard you lose power doing this though and it is required for an mot? I also plan to fit a 3.6 FD or swap the box completely for a v5 box with lightened flywheel. Is there anything there that won't work or has anyone any advice Thanks
