Said I wouldn't, but I'm back in a French car
#1
Gd Day Everyone,

New to the site, so thought I'd say Hi Shy

Have just purchased a Diesel Turbo off a workmate, so thought I better join up. It's a bit battered and bruised, as he lent it to his sister inlaw, but should do me over the winter months whilst my Corrado G60's in hibernation.

Will be a regular to the site I'm sure, as I have a fair few thing to fix. First though, the doors that immediately unlock themselves. He didn't tell me that one until the very last minute.Angry

Oh well, at the price I paid, I shouldn't grumble Blush

Welcome along! Get some photos up of the DT, but definitely get some up of the G60! I've always had a bit of a soft spot for Corrados Smile

Haven't really got any recent ones of the G60.
Used to look like this:

Now looks a little bit more like this:

But minus the colour coded splitter and door handles

And sorry, no pics of the DT yet. Am a bit too embarrassed by it Blush

So you come on our website to say how embarressed you are by our cars? I can't see this going well, TBH. By the way, the G60 looked better with the silver alloys, just thought I'd let you knowWink

Yeah that's exactly what he said, he's embarrassed by all of our shitty cars Doh He said he's embarrassed by his car.

I think I prefer it with the silver alloys, but either way that's awesome.

Haha. Best to be honest mate.

I'm not embarrassed by your cars! Mine though, is a mess, dents in most panels. It looks like I'm the one with the issue of hitting things!

The wheels on the Corrado only got painted black as they're a pig to clean. They're winters anyway, I've Speedline Split Rims for the Summer Itwasntme

Welcome aboard Smile

Locks will most likely be a split wire in the door looms.

Corrado looks sweet, could do with some dish Wink

Ah man I know the feeling, my Speedline Turinis are only 11 spokes and they're a pain, I can't imagine those!

By the way, we're having our first birthday meet this weekend in Reading, it's not all that far from you in Gloucester so it'd be a good chance to come down and meet everyone Smile

Thanks for the invites, but the other half has firm plans for what we're doing this weekend. Will try to get to a meet in the new year though. Should have made the Pug somewhat presentable by then.
Hope all goes well this weekend. Looks like cold but clear weather, perfect for a winter meet Cool

Think you need to give it a stage 1 tune to unlock the horsepower it should have had as standard

Welcome along though

Am keen, just not sure if the clutch has been changed and its on 155k. Would it survive much tuning?

Thanks. I'll look up the threads. B-Road bash sounds good.
Will have to make sure any tweaks I make are reliable.

Anyway, here's how the tired old girl looks now, sporting marks on each corner and some severe battle scars TMI

Have looked at your thread. Looks much better than mine!
Where to start though? Wings, Bumpers and Back doors I guess, but how much would that set me back?

welcome! Big Grin

i prefered it with the silver alloys! What did you pay for the pug then? Tongue

Not too far at all really. But what to do? The Pug was only £175 with 4 months MOT and 1 months Tax. So possibly a bit cheaper than scrap value? But it does need some work and has a fair few issues. Not sure if it's worth tidying or whether to just roll with the wrecker look for 4 months.
