  1. Thanks mate! I'm convinced, just what I wanted to hear! Will get it ordered now, thanks!
  2. I'd thought of that, except I wasn't sure how specialist fitting it would be. But if it's that straight forward then That works for me! Milltek is deffo the way to go. But confused, found these, but can't work out which I need. I have a 92 K reg? http://www.a1-motorstores.com/Volkswagen-Corrado-Corrado-Vr6-Oval-92-On-Milltek-High/cat/9/sub/196/product/3358/veh/419 Or http://www.balancemotorsport.co.uk/products.asp?partno=MILLTEKCORRe Your recommendation seems to be pre 92? And cheaper!!
  3. Can anyone recommend someone to fit and supply a stainless steel exhaust for my vr6, in or around Oxford? I have tried to read this Sticky and come to a conclusion as to which is the best make or brand, but have found that quite tricky. So I just need someone nearby, who will do the job properly! Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks
  4. Not head gasket...thank god. The thermostat and housing had split, so it was leaking coolent. It hasn't been the same since that day. But the garage that did the work are making out the missfiring was there before it came to them. But i know it wasn't. The missfiring is not that obvioius. I only notice it because i know how the car should drive. And it's not right. That's why i'm worried that this is going to be a tricky one to resolve. Really not sure what to do.
  5. Can anyone help. Just had some work done on my VR6. Cooling problem. But the garage that did the work, took it upon themselves to replace the HT leads as they told me the car wasn

    Spoiler Trouble

    Can anyone help, My spoiler is being really temperamental. It starts to rise then stops then starts again. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. Is there an easy solution to this one???? It's a 92 VR6!
  7. I really don't understand your request. And will you be suppling the raw pictures to comp together?
  8. Thanks guys, It's a 92 VR6. Sorry should have mentioned that! So according to RW1, i shouldn't do anything? A little frustrating as i can't really afford to keep running my car on more expensive fuel. Therefore if i'm not going to benifit from using a higher Octane fuel on occasion, i probably should just stick to the 95 stuff??? :?:
  9. Just a couple of questions. Last year I had my ECU remapped. Firstly I have been told that to get the full benefit quickly from higher octane fuels, (Tesco 99Ron) it is best to disconnect the battery and then reconnect it, so that the ECU can re learn the way the engine handles the higher octane fuel. Is this true, and if so will disconnecting my battery for any length of time affect my remmap? Apparently the ECU will learn how to handle the new fuel, but it takes a couple of tanks worth to do it. Also the directional control above the heater control appears to have stopped working. Does anyone know the cause of this and preferably a quick solution to it? As I am very short of time at the moment?
  10. The Total sponsorship raised = £4100 But also got a free set of tyres and an AMD Remap. So we did pretty well, got something for us and raised a fair bit for charity.
  11. I know it's a bit later than promised, but here it is finally. Check it out. http://www.corduroyslacks.com/cannonball/index.shtml

    Yeah we could keep up with a couple of the Porsches, and a couple of the other cars but not the super cars unsurprisingly It cost us £3800 to enter, but the whole thing cost around £5000! But we as you can see got a few people to Sponsor us, and I got 4 new tyres out of Yokahama. And a remap out of AMD. It's only about 11BHP more, but better fuel economy and noticeably more Torque. And best of all free! It took us two days to get to Rome; it seemed to go much quicker though. Should have the website up and running by the end of the week. I'll keep you posted. Ohh another picture, they had set up Police road blocks in Germany for us Cannonballers, just to check us over and make sure we were all above board and legal, they were all pretty friendly as you can see here. Can someone tell me what a forum sticky is please?
