Arrived today £200, no engine, gearbox, wheels, front brakes and interior. The car has been sat for 6 years engineless after the previous 250bhp midified G60 engine developed a missfire when at high revs, the engine was sold, the new owner reported the missfire was due to weakend valve springs Budget is £1k to get an motd car, many parts here already A pic just before the engine was removed

The car will be converted to 5 stud as I have lots of wheels of that variety, 4 stud are getting very rare, try searching ebay... I also have a corrado vr6, this ones going to be abused so there's no need for it to be a minter

The 16 inch ones in the pic are for sale A strange thing happened tonight........ The VR6 has had abs issues from day one, a new front sensor and a code clear got it through its very first test ever at 16 years old, the bulb blew during the first 12 months of ownership then loads of inlet and outlet valve faults. I bled the system, wedged the pedal down for 2 weeks, changed the ecu and light, bought a pedal sensor and a used abs pump which is yet to be fitted. I've been using the battery as a spare to jump other cars with, tonight I refitted the battery and the abs is workig as it should ;D

is it massively cheap?
he has it for sale at £750, interior is a acquired taste, good condition mind, mot'd, taxed, its on a V reg, it has some truly awful 18" alloys, recent cambelt etc.
The owner has just got himself a A8 4.0 diesel which another mate of mine is gonna be remapping, should see 315bhp
