Is your Corrado your "best" car, or your runabout?
Riley replied to PhatVR6's topic in General Car Chat
Daily drive. :) My real pride and joy is a feckin bare shell :cry: and i dont know what the sportline is,its just hanging around like a bad smell :lol: -
Nice one Rob 8) ! Oh and your sig? pmsl :lol:
-
Would anyone like me to enquire through Volksdevil car care? may be worth a go? ive never organised a group buy for something like this before though,so not sure what the best action is :oops: Plus i am pretty strapped for time... Neil.
-
I reckon we need a group buy for those tail lights :shock: :shock: Absolutely spot on :shock: edit:i reckon they can probably be modded for twin fogs? if they only have one on the wrong side?
-
Look for the two pipes going through the bulk head,they have those arsy metal spring clips on em. You will be fine joining the two together,just need a bit of metal pipe. :) Neil.

Ahhh,i thought ya had to stick to et15 when running 9x16's? no catching anywhere on the inside Rob? Not sure on tyres,deffo dont like the look of thew 195/40's :shock: :shock: Neil.
-
imo round headlights/angel eyes are just wrong on a corrado,i dont think they suit the shape/width/already mean stance of the front end at all :? Just my opinion though,and i think if you do fancy em,definately better in black :) Neil.
-
Easy,any spanner/grips will have em off :( shame as they are smart. For the best anti theft'ness? :lol: i think the latest richbrook ones are superb,new pin design,no spanner or little vice grips will ever have them off.And they look cool too,fancy some black/silver topped ones me self. 8) Top of page in above link. :) The flush fit are awesome like Bendy says,definately one to consider when you next have a change of tyres etc... Neil.

I deal with the richbrook antitheft valve caps.Some nice new designs in stock now. The bbs ones are sweet like. 8) 8) 8) Neil.

That sounds cool m8 8) mine hits 2000 on good days which is 14psi 8) Neil.
-
Would be a bloody miracle eh :lol:
-
oops...brain fart :oops: cheers m8! Neil.
-
Ahhhh,yeah. :) Mine was stage 2 before,and it was a lot more noisy after the full blend...kinda wish the noise hung around for a bit longer like,it just faded away a bit. Still sounds pretty droney similar to the vids like. Neil.
-
Not sure m8,it was quite soon after a full blend rebuild at pitstop,it did loose the whine after a bit of mileage... Neil. :)
-
Do you have the snorkel in the airbox m8? makes a massive difference to the sound :) Neil.
-
Thanks m8 :D how did you come across the rado page out of interest? Ill be honest m8,the car used to be quicker (as vid) than it is now and i dont really know why :( haven't had time to think about it or look into it though,maybe a boost leak... Neil.
-
Thanks Rob. I dont really know :lol: nah...ive always been a wide deep dish guy,but just tried the 90's for a change,ill keep em on one side though. :wink: Would love a set of Kerscher carmona's... Neil.
-

Sorry m8,i posted the above 'technical/scientific diagrams' before i saw your reply :oops: I do know a little bit...i was valeting professionally at 16/17...and im now a young? :( but experienced :lol: 27. Everybody has there own idea's/techniques though...would be a boring world otherwise. Neil. :D
-
Edit:ahhh,im too slow today :oops: Pen pusher? :lol: only joking! Why attempt to clean rough paint >>>> ¬_¬_¬_¬_¬ only to go over it with a diminishing abrasive afterwards? slightly embarrasing diagram :oops: :lol: start: ¬_¬_¬_¬_¬ scratch-x'd: __¬___¬__ And then a cleaner to remove contaminants and prep for polish. Think of it like wet sanding...You wouldn't use metal polish on a rough surface,you would use finer and finer paper before cleaning/polishing. :) Neil.
-
Aye,way more clay than needed there m8. :) Should only need to do the whole car a maximum 2 times if its in need of it. The routine above is fine apart from that and that you should just concentrate on polishing/waxing over a small period. But with the weather how it is now,its a good idea to have a break from it and get a good wax on there. And then continue the routine when the weather comes good. :) They are wrong m8 :) Scratch-x is a diminishing abrasive...so there is no point in using a paint cleaner first.The scratch-x will remove light scratches/light contaminants. A paint cleaner will work best on a smooth/prepped surface that has been scratch-x'd... If you use the paint cleaner first,it will just make the scratch-x hard to remove...and then you would be using a polish straight after the scratch-x which is wrong. The paint cleaner preps for polish. :)
-
Just swap the scratch-x/paint cleaner round m8 :D Neil.
