i think,,,it is where the alternater/power steering bracket bolts too?

wow! thought id give a small update on the mk1 :lol: the projects off im afraid,due to other priorities... :cry: looks like this at the moment,but ive dumped all my spares inside it. neil. damn i miss it... sound clip of its last spoken words before the lump came out :cry: :cry:

ill have the stopwatch at my side :lol: neil.

ahh,cheers m8 :wink:

yep :D

yeah maybe a bit optimistic for my first corrado interior swap,but ill see how it goes :lol: thanks for the superb link m8,appreciated :thumbleft: ps:is a non sunroof corrado a rare thing??? neil.

cheers Blue_Joe.:D GIXXERUK, im gonna try for 1 day! :shocked!: neil.

im guessing here using the info i know from golfs... the window normally just sits in the regulater which has a rubber piece in it. sounds like you may have lost the rubber,possibly causing the clanging noise etc...? dont know if im on the right track though? best off whipping the door card off to check it out. neil. :)

thanks for that guys. :D Blue_Joe, where abouts are the bolts in the engine bay holding the dash? ive done plenty mk1/mk2 swaps before so have a general idea of the procedure... just need to wait for a dry day now! thanks again,neil. :D

cheers anyway henny 8) maybe ill sit a swear box on the drive and see how much money i can get towards some 9x16's :lol:

yeah same switches etc... now the swearing bit you mention :lol: i know how the front seats come out and thats about it,is the carpet held in with those STUPID! round push on clip things? sorry im used to the golfs! any other tips? in fact ill post here as and when i do the swap if i get stuck on anything 8) cheers again,neil.

sorry just to clear up guys :lol: black 92 g60 has grey cloth,red 1990 valver has black cloth. there shouldnt be a problem with the swap should there fitment wise? thanks,neil. :D

ok,my dad has a 1990 16v which is soon for sale,it has a mint black interior. my 92 g60 has the grey interior which i really cant stand to be honest :oops: he said i can swap the lot if i want before he sells the car,should i go for it,dash/carpets/cards/seats/the lot!!! and will this change the value of the 16v? my grey interior is mint also... thanks,neil. :-P

was watching it me self,thought it may be a powerflow system? normally says on the boxes though... :?

this m8?

henny,i found that pic on a vortex thread,some guys were messing about editing in lines where they thought material should be removed etc... ill be damned if i can find the thread though :mad: as for the combustion chamber im not sure ma self,maybe just a fine'ish wet/dry paper? neil.

all in the name of research though eh... :lol:

Don't think that's true, it's getting the air in that's the problem, exhaust gasses (to a certain extent) will get themselves out due to the heat and expansion. Exhaust ports need to be shaped well and not have any bad steps in the flow, e.g. between head and manifold joints, but it's the inlet that gives the most gains if done properly. You have to remember that the exhaust ports will soon soot up with deposits anyway, it might be true that polishing them will help to prevent this a bit though. On inlet ports bigger is not better, because you will eventually just lower the gas speed and torque. What you need is better flow and port matching together with removing casting marks that affect flow. I reckon on a DIY job where you don't have experience of porting and flowing heads it's best just to clean up casting marks and make your manifolds fit the head smoothly, use the gasket as a template and match the faces. David. Just repeating what it said in PPC. Makes sense to me either way but they may be meaning to leave the inlet rough finish to introduce more tumble/swirl. I know there is much more to it than that but I cannot remember thier reasoning. is it not just to try and even up the flow of inlet vs outet? arent the vw 16v heads a bit of an iffy design on the exhaust side? crazy americans... 8)

cheers guys! biggerbigben,you got rid of the adapters then? neil.

aye,it was one of the xtreme kits,not storm etc... :)

i recently tried a single wiper kit off ebay,it was absolute crap! never even got to put the arm on,the linkage was shiite. ive sent it back :!:

yep :) 7.5x16's et45 5x112 pcd,which seems to be a bit of a problem... :cry:

cheers for the links... :) i think ill speak to a m8 about trying to make some up. whats the porsche 928 wheel pcd? cheers,neil.

strange,everytime ive bought some ive always used a little clear silicone. and yet they always steam up! headlights and back lights have been the same on the cab and the mk1 :? neil.

and,could any one of you p/shop nutters,possibly stick the tyred up one on the raddo for me? :D would be muchos appreciatus (word? :? ) !
