I would like the tank straps if you are willing to post them - thanks! 1990 Corrado 2.0 bottom end, flowed / ported KR head. -
Replaced the relay with the no 99 one and all is well again. Thanks for the help :) 1990 Corrado 2.0 bottom end, flowed / ported KR head.

The relay doesn't click, but there is a bit of a squeal from the relay when I lift the stall to engage the wipers... 1990 Corrado 2.0 bottom end, flowed / ported KR head.
-
Thanks for the pointers Dox. I had a quick look at the relay and it looks good. The motor is my next stop. We had torrential rain the last couple of days and maybe that has has caused some issue? Will update later... 1990 Corrado 2.0 bottom end, flowed / ported KR head.

This just started to happen today. When I move the wiper stalk to start they will just keep going even when the stalk is returned to off position. When I turn the engine off, they stop, but as soon as I move the wiper stalk they will just keep wiping :) Any ideas? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Are these for early or late model? Interested if they're for early... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Corrado early 16v - Anyone have a good set of springs? Looking for something a bit less firm than I have on. Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just checking what the rev limit is on the 9a with KR Cams? I did a conversion to the 9a keeping the original K-jet injection from the 1.8 and changing out the 9a cams for the KR ones. Thanks... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Will do - can you message me with payment info and amount please - thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Any more of these in stock? I can't send mine in advance as it's my daily. Guessing they work for the early 16v too? Thanks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sorry Chris, forgot all about these. Will hold off just now, have a more pressing issue with water getting in :( Thinking it's the door membranes as I discovered there are none! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
-
Would you split and just send indicators? Are they intact at the rear and dry? Thanks, Billy Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
-
Thanks for the replies guys! It's a 1990 car. I have literally just done the conversion and turned the key. The timing is good, but I have done nothing as far as tuning etc. I kept the KR fuelling and management, but changed the cams from 9a to the KR ones. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just put the car through MOT. One of the fail points was "smoke level" the CO/HC/ idle were all pass. When I changed over my KR for the 9a, should I have put a cat into the exhaust system? Since the 2.0 16v all have them... Do I have something else that needs attention? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Got to the bottom of the issue :) turned out to be the circlip under the gearstick that prevents the lever going too far left! Easy fix for once :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Will do, thanks! Are all gear linkages the same through the range? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Just got everything back together after doing the 9a bottom end conversion to my early KR. Had the gear box out and did the clutch and the clutch slave. When I finally got everything bled and rad to run I am having a problem with 2nd gear. Didn't have an issue before the rebuild, but going 1st to 2nd is very vague and tough to engage. I did have the linkage disconnected while the engine/gearbox was out... Any ideas where I need to begin? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
