135k miles. motor has never been apart (the trans has though)



the best part about these threads is seeing how much farther it will be able to go (with continued maintenance)

I have 180k on my '01 Turbo, which is small potatoes compared to T2 who has 660k on his '01 Turbo.

The real reason for the reply is this:

Good heavens, I happen to have 3 '93 Corrados too. The daily driver green/rusty one that I bought new in '94 now with 300k miles, the purple one with the R32 drivetrain, and the red one that I use as the track car. Bravo, man!

I had a 93.5 green corrado vr6, gauges by the shifter. Extrude honed manifold gasket matched, machined throttle, custom designed air intake low down, no engine hot air, chipped, neuspeed short shift kit, custom exhaust. 13.9 in quarter mile, 2nd place at Pennzoil street nationals, I broke out running against a 17 second car. Anyway that was a cool car, sold it when I got my 04 r32.

Default Mine has 96,000

Another early example 3/98 production. I bought it to drive and not to show
it. Anyway great surprises, original block. HR springs, konis, Fab speed exhaust, 285/30/18 Michelin pilot plus 4 on back. Excellent handling car. I bought like that so I’m going to drive it and enjoy it.
