The other Slim's G60 Turbo

Thought I'd share the story of my G60. I've owned her now for 4 1/2 years now and it's been a turbulant time. I brought it off a friend as a favour and have never looked back

When I took delivery it was wearing a set if 17"s and had been lowered on springs.

I'd already put the de-badged grill on at this point.

I soon discovered that a spring on the rear had snapped so splashed out on a set of FK coilovers

I then wanted a bit more power so had the charger stage 4'd and fitted a smaller pulley and chip to match and also fitted a Miltec S/S system with de-cat.

Minor body mods were carried out, including smoking the top part of the rear lights, de-locked handles and removing the rub strips, and also a set of pressed metal plates.
And I tried out a grill spoiler but this flew off at high speed


I managed to pick up a set of original BBS RZ's and decided to go low



Next on my shopping list was a FMIC. I choose the Land Rover TD% intercooler as it fits perfect



And then it was time to fit the TT seats



Closely followed by a set of Borbet A's



I also tinted the front lights

Then dream interior came along at the right price, Corrado cloth Recaro's


Well this is a brief history of my Corrado owership, I've missed out the gory expensive bits as I dont want to put anyone off

uve been busy man but the time seems to have paid off very well

that is fookin lovely!! them recaro's are superb! love the lights might try n talk u into doing mine!!lol

Yer i'm really happy with the recaro's.
To be honest all I used to tint the lights was a can of halfords rattle can tint, but I'm really happy with the result

what,inside or out?

Just on the outside, all I did was remove them from the car and spent the weekend adding light coats til I reached the desired tint.

nice 1,easy solution! likin that idea,didnt fancy pulling them to bits!! what sort of power u running then? that small lip is growing on me,looked on voksbits and the 90mm is £75,piece of bloody plastic!!lol

I'm not sure on the power to be honest, but I spanked a Skoda VR the other day
The tints are easy, and the kind of mod that will really make your car stand out.
I know what you mean about the price of the splitter, if you want to swap I'm willing to push some cash your way.
It seems the general trend for Corrado spares is to make up a rediculous price and people will pay it

i have noticed that,im glad i kept my standard rims at the moment,reckon they might be a nice little nest egg! are u quite local? i live in mabo! the lights are defo a consideration! if i could have got the g60 i would hve done but they seemed to either vanish or the prices rocketed! my valver aint too bad tho. had vr's before this and compared to them this is economical even with some heavy footed driving!

I'm in Nocton, just south of Lincoln. I brought a 16v corrado to break spares but was gutted as driving it back was so much fun, really pokey and nimble. I've driven a VR too but found the front end a bit too heavy for aggresive cornering.
G60's seem to be fetching good money at the moment, , which is a shame as they're such a good car to drive, even in standard form they're no slouch, plus there's the noise of the charger
Are your standard rims Sebrings?

yeah sebrings in mint nick,even have the centers and good tyres on! is that far from here?

Is mabo mablethorpe? if so I'm probably 45 minutes from there

yeah mablethorpe or costa del shithole as its effectionatly called!!lol

lol, Google recons I'm just over an hour from there but I do like to try and prove it wrong

lol they do it as the bloody crow flows i reckon,same as trader and ebay! what bits u got left from ure valver?

Seen this car in the flesh and that charger is bloody mahoooosive!

I dont really have any spares left, I stripped the bits I needed for mine and sold the rest on the Corrado Forum.

ahhhhh bummer,oh well i have been offered one by a mate,he reckons he will pop it round to show me,might be worth investing in it just for the bits!

stunning dude!

If you are able to get a doner car I might be interested in a few parts

will see what hes asking and let u know! i dont know anything about it other than its driveable so will wait n see!

Cool, the only spare parts I have left are a fog light switch, heated rear screen switch and a dash blank for an empty switch position, not sure why I still have these but just found them!

lol random bits,guessing u had the head light switch!! i reckon thats gotta be the most sought after rado part! tried at ultimate dubs and the bloke said he could have sold it about ten times,if he had one!

Yer the headlight switch was one of the parts that I needed!
Keep an eye on the corrado forum, might have one pop up on there.

mines ok,just doesnt light up when u put full beams on,not bothered bout that tho,it works,thats all that matters!lol
