Immaculate Condition!]]> http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?81143-Genuine-17-quot-BBS-LM-s-4x100-PCD-7-5-x-17-ET40-With-Tyres!-Immaculate-Condition!&goto=newpost Fri, 17 May 2013 20:45:45 GMT Can't believe I'm doing this.....

How well Here goes.......:(

I've come to the decision to sell my LM's! I'm going for a change of direction with the Rado, more go instead of show, so fancy something more motorsport orientated!

About the wheels, They are Genuine LM's, Rare in 17" and very rare in 4x100 PCD! Originally made as an option for Mini Coopers in Japan (hence the offset) I don't think I've seen another set in the UK and I'm pretty sure BBS will not be forging anymore anytime soon!

So the specs..... 4 x100 PCS, 7.5 x 17 ET40! I'm running spacers on mine, IIRC they are 20mm on the from, 30mm on the rear! Currently the barrels are sat in front of the rim, but this can be easily changed!

They were refurbed about 2 years ago now, barrels painted in Anthracite and the dishes are fully polished, no Lacquer, so will need to be kept on top of! I use Chemical Guys Jetseal109 to keep them looking immaculate! They are in amazing condition are are ready to go! All 4 tyres are Goodyear Eagle F1's GSD3 pattern and have plenty of life left in all of them! The Goodyears are amazing grippy tyres and the tread pattern is Epic!

Got any questions then drop me a text/PM/Email or scarily enough you can actually talk to me on the phone.....

Price wise, I'd like £1750, but I'm open to offers! I'm based in Darlington !

I'd also part ex, with something interesting in 16" They'd have to clear my Brembo's I'd Ideally want Some Compomotive MO's (not in White) or something else motorsport related, but Hey try me!

I also might part ex or swap against Some RM's/RS's to go on the Passat etc, but I'd need some rubbish wheels to sit the Rado on!

OBD reader wiring does this look correct http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?81142-OBD-reader-wiring-does-this-look-correct&goto=newpost Fri, 17 May 2013 20:21:25 GMT My cars obd2 reader wouldn't communicate and when Vince plugged her in he said the abs is communicating but not the engine etc.

I'm sure when I completed the obd2 my mechanic had a Snap on reader and that worked and read faults so thinking its something I've done removing and reinstalling the dashboard?

This plug connection, the wires seem tight in how they reach it and just tracing steps to go through this wiring from the reader to this part pictured. Could I have that wired incorrectly? Is the plug the correct way?

Will check tomorrow the wiring by fuse board to see if the date wire is connected since the going obd2. Vince had his own wires and plug and connected into my fuse board and he was then able to communicate with my car but need this sorted for future reasons/vag com-ing

Well a Fancy a change on the Moo, so putting up the alloys for sale.

They are Jap Racing XXR 527's 4x100/4x114.3 PCD, 8.25 x 15 ET0, they are in Awesome condition.

Fitted with 205/45/15 Tyres, they have a nice stretch to them! The fronts are Toyo Proxes T1-R's with 5mm tread on them and the rears are Dunlop Sport 2000's, again with about 5mm of tread on! One of the rears has a split in the tyre, as can be seen in the pics, its been like that for a while, hasn't got worse, tyre still holds air, but you might want to change it!

They sit pretty well on my Passat, as you can see in the pics, the front poke just a little bit more due to the Wide Track on the front!

Here is a video with the temp-sensor disconnected (Yellow temp sensor)

Here is a video of the cluster when the temp sensor have been connected again:

http://s16.photobucket.com/user/Mawr...a5c11.mp4.html


It will do the same from a complete cold start (on video oil temp was around 60 C).

I'v confirmed the cluster is working (in another car), and also checked with another cluster in the corrado with same result.

From the vide it seems like it will add a tiny bit to the temp when the sensor is connected, and also the needle seem to rise a bit faster.


Anyone ever encounter such a problem ? - or have any clues where to start??????
