VW Corrado G60This is my daily driver... and I LUUURRRVVVEEE driving it!
It's not got many modifications done to it yet, but I may have a few bits and pieces done in the near future...
Exterior:
Blue tinted side repeaters to match Aqua Blue Pearl paintwork
VW Corrado Club UK number plate surround on rear.
The grill spoiler on the above photo has now been removed 'cos it was nasty!
7.5J 16" Borbet C alloys with 205 45 16 Yokohama A539 all round. (It grips!)
Polished alloy bonnet lifterEngine:
As far as I know, the engine is standard except for a Jetex induction kit and a Jabbasport Stage4 supercharger upgrade:
HOWEVER, I recently found out that the car has been clocked by over 100,000miles... The engine HAS been re-built at some time in the past and parts of it were colour coded at the same time... I'm now trying to track down former owners to try and get some history on the car... The positive side is that the 'Charger is in great form and the engine is nice and solid apart from a slight oil burning habit (1L oil every 2500miles) She pulls like a train in all gears, all the way upto redline and has scared quite a few people in much "better" cars at traffic lights and the like! :-)
Exhaust:
The nice guys over at JP Exhausts in Macclesfield did me proud and made me a full stainless steel system for J-DUB, including a cat-bypass BOX (not pipe, a BOX!) This has helped with letting the gasses out and letting the engine breath more easily and has kept the noise to something reasonable... However, if you cruise at 3000rpm just about EVERY head will turn to look 'cos the exhaust note is just right and when added to the noise of the charger and induction kit it really does grab attention!
Suspension / Running gear:
Bilstein spring/shock kit from Euro Car Parts, 40mm lower, handles really well, but is too harsh for my liking so will be changed soon...
Brakes:
Brembo braided hoses
Dot5 brake fluid
NEW standard calipers on front
NEW VW Disks all round (fronts will be changed for drilled and grooved soon)
Mintex 1144 pads all roundInterior:
MOMO Race steering wheel
Black Leather racing gear knob
Standard fit JBL speakers with dash mounted tweeters
Thatcham Cat1 Total Closure alarm system
Home made secondary immobiliser
