    Your telling me, it would be a pretty near perfect car if it was.

    Oh well, hopefully suspension will compensate a little bit.

      awesome score. I'm sure with a stage 4 you'll be loving it . Plus you won't have clearance issues if you swapped a VR in it.

        Update:

        Sorry for the delay, been busy with life.

        Car is now in storage, away from the salt




        Thats my daily outside the door.

        As for progress, I ordered some stuff:

        Autotech stage 3 kit


        H&R ultra ultra low coilovers, 3.2-5" drop


        Wheels is still up in the air, been eyeing a set of 16" rs's, I believe 9j out back and 8.5j up front. See what happens there.

            The e30 is dope, I can't wait to see how the rado turns out, they are my second favorite Dub, so DON'T SCREW THIS UP.

                So a bit of an update, got some OEM hella clear turns and fogs. The fogs are used, and need a good polish, but the turns are brand new. Fitted the euro plate from my e30 quick and this was the result.



                and the plan for the grill, sans my crap photoshopping



                Coils and stage 3 are expected to come this friday or next monday, were getting heaps of snow right now, so hopefully that clears up and it warms up a bit so I can work on a few idea's I have.

                Here's the overall list of what the car has gotten and will get until its more or less where I want it.

                Build list

                Head rebuild (new valves, AEG lifters, new seals and gaskets)
                H&R ultra ultra low coilovers
                Autotech stage 3 (cam, chip, pulley, 3.5bar fpr)
                OEM hella turns
                OEM hella fogs
                Wheels
                Badgeless grill
                Steering wheel
                Tail lights
                OEM euro e-codes
                Intake
                Header
                Gutted cat
                Fix sunroof headliner
                Get rid of glue from old tint
                Buff and wax car
                Back to black moldings
                Mono wiper
                MK3 rain tray cover retrofit
                Remove corrado emblem
                Metal clutch pedal stop
                black out rear emblem

                Everything in bold is on the way or done, the rest is what still needs to be done. More stuff may or may not be added

                  The RS's sound like a good idea, I really want to put a set on mine. Keskin's look good on them, especially KT1's. Some Borbet Type A's are also a great choice.
                  Or you could try and do something completely different, the wheels that I listed I have seen before and know they look good. It seems that the only wheels I have seen on a Corrado have been rs's, KT1's, Type A's, and porsche wheels. I did see a set of S4 wheels on one before, but that guy was running an entire Audi drivetrain.
                  Hopefully my suggestions helped and good luck with the rest of the build. A G60 that runs well will make you happy every time you drive it.

                    Looks like Rs's are going to be whats going on. If all goes well picking up a set of 16x8.5 and 16x9 Rs's. Probably going to get the centres coated as they are currently a brownish goldish colour.

                        Update:

                        Supposed to get my coils and stage 3 next tuesday.

                        Deleted the carbon canister the other day, ready for a nice intake tucked behind the front bumper getting lots of cool air.
