KADVR6

cheers for that guys, but what i really want to know is, will 16v shocks be ok on a vr6, as long as i use vr springs?? cheers karl

how did you manage that joby did you get a 2 year old to get in there?? there was no way i could get my hands in there to get mine out :? karl

a bit of patience is required, oh sod, it a big crowbar and some brute force, and it will some be off :lol:

really feel for ya mate, it's one of the worst feelings a man can have. :(

unlucky mate, its not that hard to do, some people say you can do it with the dash in, but i have done 2 matrix's and both times i have had to take the dash out. i cant see how you can do it with the dash in place to be honnest. while its all out, i would check the bowden cables, if they are not free moving in the plastic guides, get some new ones, they are about £30 for the 3 cables. on my first attempt at doing this shite job it took me 6 hours to do :? second time 3 hours, as for the foam mate, you will see where that sits when you take out the old matrix. karl

looking great rob, its amazing how well the corrado drives with the standard size alloys/tyres. you could always sell the brocks?? and put the money towards the charger?? sorry, will go and wash my mouth out straight away :lol: karl

cheers for that little tip lottysvdub but when are we gonna get a sunny day in the UK :lol: karl

no problem James, it will cost though. done the other seat this morning, its loads better than the first one. i have mastered this sewing malarky. it only took me 45mins to knock out the base. will get pic up soon. then its onto the doorcards :? cant decide on all red 8) or just pick out the cloth section in red leather :? karl

just a quick update, i have sorted the correct thread for doing this little job, making the templates is very easy, cutting the leather is very easy, sewing the bloody stuff is another matter :x i have had to copy the seat base padding, and the guides for the steel pins, that was fairly easy, but the leather is kinda bunching up on the sides, its not to bad, but will be trying another method soon, still its not bad, seeming 2 weeks ago i could not sew a button on a shirt :lol: karl

just a little update of me being conned last year :oops: i was at the local tesco last night, and while getting some petrol, the kid who swindled me, pulled up along side me in he's mates car. :x after a few choice words, and me dragging him from the car, he got he's cash card out and i got £100 back off him. still £50 short. but i aalso have a rather nice samsung mobile phone free also :lol: thanks to everyone who offered me some money for the cloths last year, but i knew one day i would get this sorted. karl

the easiest way is to get some knackered corrado seats, make a frame out of some good strong steel, and use the runners from the corrado seats. you will loose the option for height adjustment though. also they do come on german e-bay quite often, karl

anyone?? :( karl

what a complete b******d, all that hard work, for the matrix to blow on ya just as your about to roll out for the first time in ages. bet you end up getting well :drinking: tonight James. karl

i'm sure this has been talked about on here before, tried the search and got loads of stuff, but could not find the answer :oops: anyway i want to get my FK AK's replaced, there 2 crashy for a 36 year old :lol: i have been offered a set of spax adjustables for very good money, but they are from a 92 2.016v, i have some vr6 PI springs in the garage that i got ages ago, ready for for some quality shocks. but what i'm not 100% about, are the dampers, will they be ok?? thanks karl

very very nice mate, what wheels ya got there?? welcome to the visa/mastercard club :lol: karl

i had set of those on the car when i bought it, sold them to H100VW (gavin) karl

my missus drive mine sometimes, she like the looks from some chavs when they see a women driving a corrado vr6, then if they try to overtake?? she floors it :twisted:

not much i'm afraid, i picked mine up last march with new pads discs for £85 from a scrapper, not seen them go for more than £150 karl

if ya cant find any local to you?? midland vw sell them. i can get some if ya like?? but i wont be going there till next friday the 16th. karl

midland vw in cannock 01543 495700 ask for jodie, tell him karl sent ya, karl

quick, cheap BBS LM's coming soon??? karl

i think we would have all been pleased, if the money given to stealth for the re-map worked in the first place. if you bought a TV for example, for £412, and it was only showing in black and white. would you not take it back and get ya money back?? instead of tring to fix it yourself.

thats the one mate, i'm only on whitehouse common road (small world) for any parts ya want. pm jimmi on here. he is breaking a few corrados at the moment.

how close am i??? :lol: i'm 99% sure i have seen this car. karl

hi jinks get some pics up mate :wink: konis with the pi springs are supposed to be better than with the h&r's especially on a vr6. i have had a carboinio CAI and a BMC, the BMC is miles better than a carbonio, you can feel the pick up much better. exhaust wise, i can 100% recommend the Jetex system, nice & quite until ya really floor it, and as for wheels your very lucky at the moment as 2 sets of alloys are for sale on here at the moment. http://the-corrado.net/.archive/forum/viewtopic.php?t=52501 http://the-corrado.net/.archive/forum/viewtopic.php?t=52673 enjoy spending money on the corrado mate. karl
