or just too damn heavy had my first do with another motor in the rado,up against an impereza. 1st,2nd i was pulling away,then going through the rest of the box he started catching and pulling away. the g60 is superchipped,70mm charger pulley,stage 2 jabba charger,decat pipe,boost return mod,maybe around 180/190 bhp? im not used to this,the mk1 would a kicked its a$$ discuss or try make me feel better Edited by: riley
You've upgraded to a more comforting car, the raddo is only really about comfort not pace, as the only one with that is the VR6, the G60 is powerful enough to haul its luxury ass up the roads but as for sprinting i just wouldn't like it, besides the early golfs are more of a empty shell and designed for the driving experience as a pose to the comfort drive a raddo is for.
Or flog it and buy a VR one. I "borrowed" MarkD's one for a weekend, and Christ - any excuse, I was away. Only 19 ciggies left in the packet? Fuck, I'll go and get some more.......
Damn right. Or - Get down to G-Werks with a bundle of cash! Just to add though, I think Jabba are excellent - but I have a G-Werks charger Edited by: AlexB
Superchips are garbage. Shoulda had a stage four or R1. Boost return mod does cack all performance wise,just makes it sound like theres a dump valve fitted. A decat might release up to an extra 10bhp. I had a spat with an Imprezza last night in my standard 8vGTI and kept up. (until his turbo kicked in then I felt humbled )
Hehe, I killed a Corrado VR6 the other day. After he put his window down and said WTF u got in that car. Trust me, get that Mk1 finished, you will love life once again!
Your MK1 regulary beats subaru impreza's then I take it? Bloody hell, what 4 wheel drive system have you got, you got the S3 engine in it? or just a 'normal' 20vt? Edited by: capnahab
cheers guys,forgot to say,it has 70mm charger pulley as well,most work was done before i bought it. i hear ya slick. diffarent car all together to drive like but im just not used to getting my a$$ kicked with jap crap blown/neil,yeah if i was gonna have charger work id definately use g-werks from what ive heard and just to add,im not a fan of the vr6 like what i think vick's saying,theyre not quick either neil.
Corrados are heavy cars...to even compete with an Impreza is good going I have to agree that G60 'Rados are garbage as standard, but go for a chip/pulley & uprated charger & they come to life.. I know that rradogolfmans tweaked G60 is every bit as fast as his friends VR6 Rado..
aye,he didnt absolutely fly past me,just steadily pulled away ahh well,rado's look better anyway imo! was one a those bug eye things neil.
