Hi from the UK, in the middle of emigrating to SA with my VW's!

[Lorenz]

Welcome to the forums mate!
I came over form the UK aswell 6 years ago now and it was the best decision ever!
I am from Adelaide and love the place, and look forward to sussing out your wonderful VWs ;D

Word of warning though, you will have some trouble getting the MK1 rego with the turbo conversion You will more than likely have to get it engineered (very costly) so you can drive it on the road unless its a track only car

Hello and Welcome!

Your Mk1 is absolutely BEAUTIFUL (And Mars Red... THE BEST COLOUR!) and so is the Corrado!

Hows the Mk1 run with the turbo?

bloody quick im guessing lol

Guys, thanks so much for all your positive comments. We are feeling really welcome and we havent even arrived yet
I am at work at the moment so its difficult to reply to you all individually, but I have read your posts, thanks again.
We have just booked our flights last night, flying out on the 6th of Dec. We will be in Adelaide by the 8th after a stop over in Melbourne.
Container arrives on the 10th of Dec... hope the cars and stuff make it okay

The Golf has only just been finished a few weeks back after a year long conversion that ended up with me junking the KJET system and fitting fully mapped ignition and fuelling using an Emerald ECU. The compression is still a bit high for big boost, making it hard to get enough advance in without detonation so she only runs 8 PSI. After setting up the fuelling and ignition with the current compression (on a Dyno Dynamics rolling road no less!!) she makes 173 brake and just under 200 lbs of torque. Not bad for an ancient 8V solid lifter motor.
Anyway thanks again for all your encouragement and look forward to meeting some of you guys

Hi, and welcome to South Aus. when you get here.
As well as being an Audi/VW tragic, I'm in the overseas skilled recruitment and settlement game and would be happy to help out a fellow dubber with everyfink you need to know in Adelaide.
Also an ex-pom!

Have just settled an experienced VW mechanic from South Africa here with a job at the VW dealer and even found him an Ibiza GTI to run around in!

email me at cwannop@senet.com.au with your resume and ETA.
I don't usually charge the candidate for this but if you must give me the Corrado Storm, then I'll just have to accept to demonstrate Aussie hospitality!!

Good to have more dubbers here with their cars.

Tell your mates back home to do the same, I'm sure we could streamline the car process.

Cheers,
Chris
