Ac < power

Power of a Female who wants to ride in your Corrado in Florida > the 5 HP extra made from deleting A/C.

Next lame reason please.

Or when its raining, or when she doesn't want the wind in her hair, or when I don't want to arrive somewhere looking like I showered with my clothes on.

[Krazee]

What a waste of time, but if it floats your boat then whatever

Falls into the same category as everything else we do to our cars that isn't strictly maintenance or OEM parts replacement.

[MikkiJayne]

A/C is overrated IMO, lol

Dude! It was 29* here today I was sitting in traffic idling the TDI at 1500rpm just so the AC compressor could make moar colds

pff , 29oC is nothing, that's like winter to us here, lol

I don't know why, but the Corrado always feels "cool" to me, cooler than my DD/work car (Citroen C4) - I've never felt the need to have an AC on my Corrado, just pop the sunroof, roll down the drivers window and voila. Maybe its just because I don't drive it that much and when I do, I'm so thrilled/happy to

Compared to what we're used to in the UK nudging 30 is second only to the surface of the sun

So true the Girlfriend hates that I have no AC

[boostedbastid]

So true the Girlfriend hates that I have no AC

tell her to drive her own car then. my car>any bitch

[somebodynowhere]

Why do you think I still don't have ac

[Davedubbi.n]

Or you could do what i did and tie her down to your roof rack...........good to go A/C haha

[somebodynowhere]

hmm this could be a good way to get rid of her...loose knot here or there

WrongSideDrive's heater core went in his last year and took quite some time locating one from across the pond (and at quite the expense too)

New heater core is alreadly on its way

I would only be impressed if the A/C and Heat actually worked with the RHD dash.

Car hasn't had A/C since the vr swap and the heat will be easy, I put 8 to 10 heat cores in vws a year. I am more worried about drilling holes in the firewall than the heater. and like the other guys said no a/c clip.

Who said he's into chicks....maybe he likes dudes

Ken, you're the only guy for me.



Yes, everyone, it is novelty why else would I do it?

[Jetta11J]

Well said sir!!!

Props for doing it, looking forward to following your thread...

Personally I've owned 2 RHD vehicles so far, a 1998 Subaru Legacy wagon and a 1973 DJ-5. While the latter was a project that I abandoned due to it needing more work than expected, I drove the Scooby for over a year and had fun with the car. Certainly it takes a little getting used to sitting on the other side of the car while driving, but like riding a bike. Once you learn, it's simple. Some people out there don't like it, and that's fine. Some people out there think LHD is an abomination and can't fathom how we can sit on the wrong side of the car...

And FWIW, I'm already planning on owning at least one more RHD vehicle, although this one probably will be a Wrangler with three pedals.

Cheers, and good luck!!

[Kiddie Rimzo]

altho i can see the partially impractical side with less visibility, who really gives a ****. not like you daily this car
plus im sure your wife would rarely/never ride in the car with you to a car show, so who cares about A/C she can ride in ross' coupe since he kept his ac

^^Weird mixup...late-spec doorcards into early-spec C....I like it

[V-TEC this!!!]

That was at a show I went to Berlin Klassik in Kitchener ontario, that corrado was a 16v RHD (obviuosly) inported from England I think.

[pileofredparts]

are you swapping firewalls?

if so then i am impressed, and ill tell you good luck from experience

[FROZEN337]

Anytime some random person does something a little out of the norm, half of vortex poohs sideways, the other 25% don't car and the rest respect the fact its HIS car and respect the amount of work that has and will be done.
I wouldn't drive half the cars in PVW/eurotuner, but the time, effort and money is what I love. Built or bought.

So who cares if he makes it RHD, lambo doors, boosted 1.5 or paints hello kitty on the door, its his car, his time, his effort and his money. Maybe people shold offer a hand and learn something...

I don't know about you but I have never done a modification to my car that makes it worse in every way.

Ummm . . . you own a G60 right? Just sayin . . .
*No Logan.

You are clearly retarded as this makes no sense whatsoever, I didn't add a g60 to my car

[FROZEN337]

Maybe not, but do you put gas in your car? Being a G60, one could consider that to be pointless. What mods have you done to a car that costs more, is slower, handles worse, stops worse and is impractical when compared to a same year GLI? You can be negitive all day, but if it boils down to making sense, what does it matter?

Are you just bitter. Because you have a G60, its LHD, you don't have the skills or is it a Stanley Cup thing?

I dont care that Canadians don't put "the" or "a" in front of "hospital" in a sentance, why do you care if he mods his car?

Feel free to have an opinion, but don't call "impractical" because of no A/C or blind spot.

[Deutschbag]

Feel free to have an opinion, but don't call "impractical" because of no A/C or blind spot.

I dunno, a blind spot is rather impractical. While I fully support the RHD build (I think it's cool, personally), your argument is pretty jumbled. Impracticality isn't a reason to not do something (lowering a car is impractical, but it's badass), but pretending that blind spots aren't impractical is madness.

I honestly don't know what you're getting at.

When is the first delivery expected? Can't wait to see some progress dougy fresh.

[Wirbelsturm.VW]

Just to clear things up.. a mk2 16v gli has 123hp. g60 has 150hp, handles better, and besides reliability is a much more fun car to drive. I don't know how you could say the mk2 has better performance. Just saying.

The GLI is a better car on paper, the street. Never had spoiler, sunroof or charger issues with any of mine.

The spoiler and charger are good things. They may break but they make the car unique unlike a run of the mill mk2

And obviously you didn't have charger issues in a gli.... it doesn't have a charger

[Green Hare]

I don't know about you but I have never done a modification to my car that makes it worse in every way.

Thank you for sharing your opinion with the rest of the world.

I never said I cared if he mods his car, I am just saying this RHD is a mod that retracts from the car as a whole. I would know considering I have driven RHD fairly often and everyone who does so sees that it is inferior.

I do comment you for knowing that everyone sees RHD as being inferior. As I previously posted, I've owned a few RHD vehicles myself in the past and look forward to owning more in the future. Certainly you neglect the fact that there are people who think LHD is inferior. It is their opinion as well.

Now, I didn't come here to watch this thread turn into a pissing contest of whether or not RHD is cool or not, I came here to watch the OP do a conversion on his own car with his own money that he wants to do. So please, be kind and take the debate offline, so this thread can get back on track.

OP - any updates and/or pictures to share please?

1990 GLI is 134hp 2416lbs., 190 G60 is 158hp 2657lbs.
There is this thing called "Power to weight ratio" not sure if anyone outside the MKIV forum has ever heard of it. We can go on for years about what car is better or logic in a mod to a car, but if someone wants to build a car with cow crap for carpet, it's their car.

It's a show car. Flame me all you want, post facts you saw online, because they are the word of god. When it's all over, he will have a RHD VR6T, I'll still rock my cars the way I see fit and you will still hate on people for doing what they want.

Lord help people that push the modding envelope.

I might be done, back to the RHD...

Are you retarded? G60 power to weight: 16.8 lbs/ 1 hp, gli 18 lbs/ 1hp.

It is not an opinion that RHD is worse to drive (albeit manageable) , it is FACT.
