  1. weird, i just tried it on 2 more computers (1 apple and 1 PC) and it worked for me...thats odd.
  2. i finally got around to hooking them up yesterday. check them out! they look so nice compaired to the stock guages. durring the day 1 durring the day 2 - you can see i also did the reverse MFA screen as well. at night lit 1 at night lit with matching stereo =] i have been wanting to change the interior for quite some time now; and i am quite thrilled with the results. let me know what you guys think.
  3. dude, they so are. i am in santa cruz which is right on the coast about an hour away from SF. they are going to be playing in the city at a venu called SLIMS Oct. 17th. if you could make it out that would be freaking awesome! i would pre-order your ticket if you needed it. let me know.
  4. thanks! i am pretty close to getting this thing running. i am just a few weeks away. you can check the detailed progression of the car here: http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=1457712 it has been quite a long year and five months. but i am sure it will pay off as soon as this car is running well. =]
  5. well, i am planning on doing this to my digi 1 2.0L 16v
  6. and all of the old vacuum lines can basicly just be removed?
  7. how do i do that? i have no idea how.
  8. updated on the link. we make some progress =]
  9. they are playing with engine down in october. you guys should try and make it out to california. =] i have all of both bands cds. as soon as i get one of your guys' european plate holder i will not be sporting their stickers anymore. =P hook me up with one! what do you guys think of my tail lights? i had them professionally painted for $40 from a local paint shop...they are darker than my paint, but light up perfectly. =]
  10. ah the MOT is like the SMOG check we have here. about the head gasket thing, how does your car run? if its running fine, personally,i would nto worry about it until something is really noticable, oil flying around and what not. (but this is coming from me, when my charger exploded it took my motor with it. =P even though i was getting 9.5-10lbs of stock boost until the min. it exploded.) its really up to you. do you trust the shop enough?
  11. the forum was update. check it out. see what you think.
  12. well, i dont know about the 'sniff test' to find out about a head gasket going. (i dont know much about how to find out if a head gasket were going) but that seems a bit questionable to me. g60's run pretty hot, so you are right about that. i have no idea what MOT is (sorry i am from the US) how old is the G60? how many miles are on it? any idea how hard it was driven before you bought it? hopefully someone here will be able to help you find out what the deal is.
  13. haha, yeah that is a US spec corrado thing only. it is called a knee bar. completly useless, and if your tall, you hit your knees on it all the time. i guess that is why they call it that. =P
  14. here is the thread that is explaining everything. please help me out if you can... THE POST: http://forums.vwvortex.com/zeropost?cmd ... id=1457712
  15. thats what i meant by the mess...i have a bunch of things that dont belong inside my car right now. if i only took a picture of the trunk for you guys... =P i have 2 alternators, boost tubes, a parts organizer, a starter, and a bunch more. heh. the car has yet to be cleaned inside since i started the swap over a year ago.
  16. still not done yet, but i have some updated pictures... to show you how dark my tail lights are...mmm...so dark. here is a picture of the engine that sort of runs now. enjoy the update. i also posted the pictures of my interior right here: http://the-corrado.net/.archive/forum/viewtopic.php?t=12936
  17. alright, you guys wanted some pictures of my US spec interior, it is far from done, but here are some updated pictures...excuse the mess. View from the back: inside the front end: my home made Air/Fuel guage: i will show you the new guages when they are finished, i wam waiting on some LEDs to arrive. =] enjoy.
  18. and i dont mean to steal your thread. i was curious how much my corrado is worth? the goods: • (former G60) Now has a N/A 2.0L 16v • TT header • TT high flow catalytic converter • TT cat back exhaust • Borla muffler • Koni adjustable shocks • Ground control springs / coil over • 50mm intake manifold • 268 cams • Bahn Brenner fuel rail • VW Motorsport parts in the block • 16 inch black race wheels (11lbs a piece without tires) • Tinted tail lights • Tinted side markers the bads: -few small dents and dings -clear coat coming off the top -doesnt have HIDs anymore pictures: http://the-corrado.net/.archive/forum/viewtopic. ... 6v+corrado
  19. there is a guy here in the US with 2 running corrados for $1200 =]
  20. here is me with a "hot babe" at Hot Import Nights in San Jose California. =]

    i have heard bad starters before, they normally sound like crap. but when this trys to start it sounds fine really. it just wont start. and like i said before, when it sounds like it is going to start, it just lugs for a few turns and stops.

    i saw the car yesterday and when you try and start the car it just keeps trying to turn it over. but the car just isnt having it. when it gets close to actually starting the car just sputters and stops. something isnt right at all. any ideas?
