@richbrown here you go.

Im currently doing up my Corrado VR6 that I've owned for the past 22 years.
Very much a passion project but it's a great car.
Currently receiving a full chassis rebuild before being booked in for paint. Just waiting on some Kw Varient 3s and Eibach roll bars ( more parts delays!)

I had black 3.0 turbo Corrado with a sequential shifter from Czechoslokia. I spent a fortune on it when I was young. Classic car that was way ahead of the times in design.

Wow I bet that shifted!
Trying to take mine to OEM plus.
If you have any photos 📸 of yours love to see it

It was a company called SEQSHIFT. It was sketchy wiring them a bunch of money but they were legit. It was back in 2003 so not sure where pictures are but will look around. Nice project you have👍
 
This is my current track car / never ending project. 2006 Mini GP with only 134K miles 🤣

She's got loads of performance modifications done and is a lot of fun.

Have ordered some 20" Maybach style wheels and new Pirellis for my W218. But they are sitting in a repair shop for months due to COVID situation. Can't wait to get them up and running.

I believe I two of your engines in the GTC ! Engine bay looks amazing so they managed to cover it nicely.
I think you are correct, albeit modified 'a little' 😁
Great sounding engine. To be honest I could just supercharge mine and have a cut price Emira 😆
 
Might turn my 2015 535i into a project car but it's more likely I'll sell it. Got 69k miles, runs beautifully. I don't know it. It may be the perfect project car. Hmm

Let's see pics we can all comment on what you should do to it 😁
 
We just 3.6 swapped this vr6 manual Corrado that will be used in a marketing campaign

It is still a work in progress, but we started reassembly yesterday so I will post pics here as things progress.
It still has the original 5MT so we’ll probably blow that up fairly quickly..
