Well guys and gals.. I know this isn't exactly a polo... but I know you all appreciate a bit of VAG, whatever it is!

Just a quick update and some nice new piccys.

She's now running Weitec coilies all round, all red rear lights (with proper orange flashing indicators!) and a debdaged grille.

Some wheels might be on the cars at some point.. but at the moment.. I'm just loving it! I don't think you need to do much to Corrados to make em look pretty mint.

Enjoy!

(didn't have a macro lens.. sorry! :( )

StueyB's looks better!

Only kidding looking good mate. Gotta love the Rado's!. What colour is that btw, Dragon Green?

Stop taking up polo bandwith with raddo rubbish, god some people....

...only joshing, this car confirmed everything i thought about vw's super coupe and effectively made me buy one so props to you josh on the that one. Great stance on the weitecs and the lights work a treat now you've soldered (like a 4 year old) the resistors in. Now don't back out on me again on the MK trip, i need to experience the coilies.

very nice example not seen many in dragon green they are all normally mulberry!

StueyB's looks better!

Hahahahahah! ohh dear.

Stuey's is better? Even though a few low flying aircraft have almost flown into it?

I must admit.. I think the aqua blue that Stu has is a stunning VW colour. My one's Classic green I believe.. not Dragon!

Hope it's dry on thursday mate!

Thanks for all the kind comments. Once she's had her first PROPER polish.. she should be looking minty mint!

Lovely car, looking mint! Nice set of wheels will set it off nicely!

what engine has it got

Introduction:

Volkswagen has developed a new six-cylinder engine called the VR-6. This 2.8-litre engine (2.9 in the Corrado) is unique in that the V-angle between cylinder banks is 15° rather than the 60° or 90° found in most conventional V-6 engine designs. The engine features a cast-iron crankcase, one light alloy crossflow cylinder head with two valves per cylinder operated by chain-driven overhead camshafts. All fuel and ignition requirements of the VR-6 engine are controlled by the Bosch Motronic M2.9 Engine Management System. This Engine Management System features an air mass sensor, dual knock sensors for cylinder-selective ignition knock regulation, and Lambda regulation. Exhaust gases are channelled through a 3-way catalytic converter.

Engine Specifications:

Engine code: AAA (US-spec) Design: Four-stroke, internal combustion engine in "Vee"/in-line Displacement: 2.8 litre Bore diameter: 81.0 mm Stroke: 90.0 mm "Vee" angle: 15° Compression ratio: 10:1 Fuel and ignition systems: Bosch Motronic M2.9 Emission control: Lambda control with catalytic converter

The name, VR-6, comes from a combination of Vee and the German word Reihenmotor. The combination of the two can be roughly translated as "in-line Vee". Volkswagen has designed the 15° VR-6 to take advantage of conventional in-line six-cylinder engine features (single cylinder head, narrow width and excellent balancing) with the advantages of a V-6 engine design (short overall length and compactness).

Alex.. you're absolutely right. "some day" happened to be about 4months ago. Yes.. I'm 21. Yes the price of fuel is ridiculous and yes, insurance is a bit higher than the polo!

BUT - I figure.. I'm young with few overheads (living at home at the mo) and if i have to sell her.. at least I can have owned the VW I've always wanted.

Em.. I'll be sure to take you out for a taster

Alex.. you're absolutely right. "some day" happened to be about 4months ago. Yes.. I'm 21. Yes the price of fuel is ridiculous and yes, insurance is a bit higher than the polo!

On a serious note what are you paying insurance wise, been meanin to ask you.

what engine has it got
