thanks for the compliments lads,

the wheels are bbs rs 301 7.5x17s with a half inch wider rim at the rear, hard to keep clean with brembo 4 pots making lots of dust!

@g60jay...close! im from kerry i registered it in cork, i miss it alright i havent driven a decent car in the last 9-10 months, im going home in a few weeks so im looking forward to pulling it out of storage.

thats a serious corrado you have there, did you do the syncro conversion yourself?

Yes i fitted the rallye/syncro floor pan with rear diff etc. Quite a bit of work but well worth it. Will be fitting a vr6 24v turbo in soon. Will be back in uk in a few weeks so will send it off over here.
I will be in Ireland myself in a month or so. Got some work to do in a town called Youghal,Co Cork.

Nope. Was lucky. Bought it 5 years ago with 90000miles on it. Put a lot of effort into getting it straight and shiny. It was a good base to start with though. Third owner. Dont think I will sell it. Too good. Retire it when I get a MkV GTI.
Thanks for the compliment. The car will be in the Volkswagen magazine for Australia as part of their publicity for the MkV. You wont get it in UK, though.

Your not the only one who's asked that! I am hopefully fitting it in to the other corrado coming out here.

carpoid, yeah i had to convert to vr6 hubcentres and cv joints on the front and some vr6 syncro rear hubs with redrilled pcd on the brake disks. i really like your 16s on your corrado it looks sweet.

g60jay, if you are in cork for the august bank holliday weekend our club has its annual show in midleton that weekend.
