hi Bally, when i saw your car at ed38 last year mate, i had to look twice at the registration plate, could not believe the transformation from when i met ya round your house, and to the car i was looking at. :shock: probably the biggest transformation of any car i have seen 8) karl

welcome Chick :wink: i can bet loads of money that you wont be able to sleep on friday night :lol: but when ya get it put some pics up. karl

been looking for one of these for ages, but they are always chrome :? and really want a leather one, so good find mate. karl

i bet that was a very very hard decision James :( i bet you could make some money from this forum, offering your mechanical skills?? i for one, would let you loose doing anything on my car. as i put ya in the top 10 mechanicaly minded guys on here. :wink: karl

i did mine today, following the incident i had on saturday :( i bled the master cylinder first, then the ABS pump, then all 4 brake callipers starting with the one furthest away, i used a gunson easybleed (worth every penny) it took about 1hr to do, and the pedal is the firmest i have ever known a corrado brake pedal to be, i did it with the ignition turned on,but not with the engine turned on, hope this may be of use?? karl :)

ok, i have found out why this happened. when i got them fitted (at a garage :mad: ) the complete offside brake set up from a 2001 mk4 was used. but on the nearside (side where hose wore through) the hose was no good?? so they fitted one from a TT, the TT hoses are 55mm longer than the hoses on a mk4 for some reason. hence why it was rubing on the inside arch. lets just say i will be phoning the garage in the morning. so everyone, please check you hoses.. as for bleeding the brakes, what a nightmare. karl

cheers guys, just so glad that, A, my car is not smashed up. B, i'm still alive. yes, that is the order of importance :lol: i think the beers tonight will taste even sweeter, just gotta find somewhere on a sunday that does brake hoses :? karl

go and check that your hoses are not rubbing on the inner arch STRAIGHT AWAY. mine have been rubbing un-noticed by me, until i was approaching a very busy island doing about 50mph. went to brake, and i heard a loud hissing sound, followed by no brakes at all :shock: went through 2 sets of red lights, missed about 8 cars that were going round the island. and virtually s**t myself. please go and check your hoses........ karl

cheers guys, i cant stretch to coilovers this time :( but i think £350 deliverd, for a set of top adjustables, with springs is a good price. so will probably order a set soon. karl

100% the heater matrix, it cant be anything else with what you have described. it's also one of the worst jobs you can do on a corrado :lol: this will help ya though lorry. http://www.the-corrado.net/wiki/index.p ... eplacement karl also use the search if ya get stuck, as its been discussed s**t loads

getting there slowly, but its going well :) should have them all done by next weekend hopefully, i have got the proper leather dye also, so the fronts will soon be blood red. i will of course be showing the results of the colour change. karl

you have toooo much spare time Rob :lol:

no problem mate, let us no how ya get on. was thinking about doing something in my C with EL sheets :wink: karl

your brother sounds fairly well off?? get a loan from him :lol:

hi mate, for some reason EL sheets in this country are very expensive?? try this company in the states though, its who the guys on vwvortex use. there is also some usefull info about wiring it all up etc etc, http://world-electroluminescent.com/index.html and yeh you will only need one invertor for the whole lot. hope this helps karl

been trying to put of getting some new suspension, but sod it, the missus will have to kill me (again) i have had enough of my FK AK's, so been looking at some top adjustables. the Gaz shocks seem to be very well built, and by all reports better than spax/bilstein, and some say on par with koni?? anybody got some fitted?? or driven a car with them on?? this place does them or £350 for the complete kit delivered, mahoosive link shortened cheers karl

simply stunning choice of wheel again Jay, they will set the car of a real treat. karl :thumbleft:

this may help mate, and yeh the cables are on tight, just get a small screwdriver and carefully lift them up over the plastic that holds them in place, http://www.the-corrado.net/wiki/index.p ... eplacement http://www.the-corrado.net/wiki/index.p ... rol_repair karl

cheers for that Bally i'm liking them, anymore pics??? karl :)

£400 :shock: bloody hell si what a bargain.

seeing that my mirrors need spraying, got a few deep scratches on them. was wondering what some DTM mirrors would look like on a corrado?? so anybody got some pics?? i can get hold of 2 mirrors/bases for £35 delivered. these are the type i'm looking at cheers karl :)

overtired Rich??? :lol: my work mate,,,, karl

WTF, dont you dare even try it :lol: i leave you alone at work for 2 days, and your talking about lambo doors??? well i suppose the lambo doors would show off the neons your gonna fit :lol: speak soon mate. karl

strange that?? i know last year there was a slight delay, due to Anh waiting for new invertors. what is you real name?? and i will give Anh a shout for ya. cheers karl :)

have you a preference on disc manufacturer??
