Yes mate brad is having it next week to do some body work. Would like to get some Porsche wheels and get gearbox rebuilt with a LSD but that will have wait for now.

porsche wheels look ace on corrado's as Martin's prooved! and yea, this rado in the flesh is proper mint!lol

looks sweet but its begging for some new rims. For some reason i love this pic of a rado on steels...

Picked up my new wheels on friday and just had to see what they looked like before i got them refurbed. going to get some wide dishes for them and get some coilovers so i can get it a bit closer to the ground. all comments welcome.









oh yeah i know my wing is scratched to fook

Cant go wrong with a set of splitties mate . They got the wrong centre caps though.
Get in touch with volks on here about refurbing them.

yeah i know the centre caps are wrong but got the wheels dirt cheap so cant complain.

cant work out what caps are off they have got bbs stamped on the inside.

Not sure what yours are off but, i do know that rm caps are on bbs ra's aswell

think you mean RZ's mate, RA's dont have caps just a tiny badge

Thats the 1. You had some dint ya andy

nah ive only had ra's, always wanted rz's

PHAT AS FOOK DUDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Looks ace and yeh definatly does look better in the flesh as i saw you at the September meet.

been pretty close to scrapping mine as its refusing to let go of the driveshaft thats snapped right nr the gearbox! 4 days in the rain, wind and with about a foot clearence to work under, so far nd onli 2 of the 8 bolts that hold the thing together have come out as the other 6 are rounded off inside nd i cannot get them out!!

But well done dude sweet Raddo

Little update


moved washer bottle to make more room for filter



got some lupo wipers fot christmas so i can now see where im going when it's raining



sold my bbs's and got these

what you all think ?

Think the wheels would look lovely on my van lol

Looks awesome mate

Thanks,

Yeah they would look lovely on your van lee but they are staying were they are lol.

are they compomotives? look nice on it

looks a bit like orwell trucks where the pics are taken? what with the merc vans and the workshop doors.. probably wrong tho

some of my fav wheels

Yeah compomotives th-mono's


and yes orwell truck & van where i work

oh right was there a couple of weeks ago in the mk2 picking up some parts.

Didnt see ya mate but i do work shifts, so i might have been on lates.

Time for a little over due update,

Had the rear pannel de-badge and 1 or 2 other pannels sprayed at the start of the summer, also made myself a new exhaust,









Then had car back from Brads 3 weeks when this happend



so car was off the road all summer whilst i saved for a new turbo and i was stuck driving a vectra,

Got it back on the road last month and loving it

Its now running a K03 hybrid turbo with high flow exhaust manifold and s3 injectors,

Next on the list is bigger radiator and intercooler, It gets a bit warm when driven hard for to long lol.

Sorry for crap phone pics but you get the picture.

Hey man...still loving this...when we get better weather we can do a photo shoot....maybe include the cars too haha.....just a shame that you had to park next to mine at deans friday and make yours look far less superior...yeah right!

After we(dean) fitted those belts it still whistles...have you got a tool thingy to tighten the cam belt???

Any grief about my engine being to small again and i will cry!!
