dinkus

I'm bored, so here's another pic... still looks like a tractor tho :(

It's Yeast Angular actually Jim :wink: Didn't you know this region is famed for it's embroidery skills and leather clad blokes admiring Dinkus in his Corrado? Supercharged......well, Alan Partridge is his hero, so enough said really, LOL! :lol: :lol: At least he doesn't drive a Lexus...yet...

Oh Supercharged just said this on another thread - If you lower it, you'll need to remove the appropriate amount from the bump stops to stop it bottoming out (probably ~30mm)

Yeah, make sure you include the words 'Corrado' and 'rare' and you'll probably get at least £25 for it :roll:

:lol:

I've got my old ones out in the garage that I can go measure err when I get a chance.

Ahh you were responsible ;) nice one 8)

Andi has it up on his fastpurple site - http://fastpurple.co.uk/corrado/vids/ If that doesn't work then it's also up on the Corrado Club of Canada site

Nice having your own *cough* private drag strip eh? ;) :lol:

Although the C gets looks from both sexes.. ;) Trying to tell us something there Dinkus? :flower: :lol: You look at C's when they drive past don't you ;)... :lol:

Although the C gets looks from both sexes.. ;)

:lol: sewing machine... :lol:

:lol: much more fun to just watch the guy with the Senator argue :lol:

I've seen a 16v and 2 Storms this week and flyered all of them. Got the valver guy signed up on here, no response from the green Storm and just had a nice chat with a guy called Andy who owned the blue Storm. He should be alond shortly.... :D Not a bad result for a week!

I'll give you 25p for it (23p more than Andy! :lol: ) then it can collect dust with my tape head unit...

Ah they sound like they know their stuff and should be able to sort you out. If you want to see what kind of work is involved with doing the fronts then I've done a fairly complete how-to - http://the-corrado.net/how-to/index.php ... tails&id=1 And yeah PlusGas is available from most car parts type shops, I'm not sure if Halfords sell it tho. Even if you're taking the car in to get the work done, it's worth drenching all the bolts in the stuff the night before you go. Then you won't have to pay for labour time when they're swearing at ceased/sheared bolts ;)

Do it yourself, it's not that hard and even if you need to buy all the tools, it'll still be cheaper than paying labour. If you do take it to get it done somewhere that knows what they're doing, I guess it should be about 3-4hrs? It's also going to be highly dependent on how badly the bolts are ceased though, because 10yr old bolts don't shift very easily. I can highly recommend a can of PlusGas (penetrating oil on steroids)

If slightly warm air in the cabin is the worst of your problems then you've got a very healthy C :lol:

If you've earned the no claims you should be able to use it....

:lol: So what you whingin about then? ;)

People were talking about these very items last week - http://the-corrado.net/.archive/forum/viewtopic. ... 98&start=0

You need air con? ;) I would imagine it's because the ducting is coming through your rather warm engine bay that is heating the air up, but I've got no idea where the intake is.

Well in fairness, a lowered setup probably won't be any lower than your current 10yr old springs are now because they have sagged so much. It will be a little firmer, but nothing teeth rattlingly so if you get either of the 2 setups mentioned.

Yeah, if you put lowered springs on with the standard shocks the shocks will bottom out and you will get a horrid ride. The Koni/HR setup definitely works very well on Kev's beastie. The FK Konigsports (sp?) are supposed to be pretty good too, but I don't know how they compare.

Good point Dinkus, don't know why I said 'another' in the subject box? Title now changed. I had never seen a silver one on the road before I bought mine, so should have known better. Been keeping an eye on Andy Brookes' and OSV's Silver C's in members gallery, maybe that's why I said another? They are both awesome C's and a lot to live up to! If I can restore my C to anything close to those then I will be very, very happy indeed. Would love to get black leather one day. One step at a time though got to get the body work done - note I only took photo's of the passenger side of the car. Nasty dent in the rear drivers side wing :( ... on the list for next month's expenses. Yeah, the list is only going to get longer :( :lol: If you want a common colour, try Aqua Blue Pearl :roll: :D
