  1. there is a gtd forsale near me and im tempted for a run around, 80bhp u say, thats quite good for an old oil burner
  2. ive got a similar problem, ive got 2 corrados sitting outside my house in the courtyard we own but the neighbours share a small part of it, that have a mk4 golf, toyota mrs, saxo and clio and have the cheek to say 2 corrados a mk2 golf and a scirocco is 2 many cars when they have much less room to park than we do
  3. all sorted now just swapped entire topend with a spare i had laying around
  4. i would just chuck the 2.0 in but it isnt finished yet, still need some piping made
  5. The airbox on the 1.8 16v is full of oil and water, as is the 4th plug bore, the plug is due to a knackered rocker cover gasket but why would the air box be full also?
  6. anything will fit anything, its just a matter of how good you or your bodyshop is
  7. no multiple votes :( G60 = Light Grey Metallic 16v = Nugget Yellow
  8. I recently changed the standard rears for a set of red and clear split and when I took apart the original set up I noticed that 2 of the bulb holders were not being used on the lights, in particular the passenger side fog light and the drivers side reversing light, Is this normal? Ive "fixed" it by making myself a set of looms to make use of the complete bulb holders so now have 2 reversing lights and 2 fogs but why werent they all used as standard?
  9. cheers, the garden is about 3 acres so lots of stuff lurking around
  10. loads more within next few weeks lol, wheels are OZ f1 Cup Evo's 205/40/17 et 42 and they fit
  11. Today I added the lights, and riged up the blanked off fog light and other reversing light on the centre tailgate bits. Also fixed the brakes so they actually work and got some new locking nuts and wheel bolts that are shiny....which is nice
  12. yeah cars about 7 different shades of grey lol, thats will be fixed with a respray when all the dings and dents are fixed

  18. well I pm'd g-man on here and no reply. emailed a while back no reply, emailed more recently no reply and used their online contact thing, no reply, when i phoned a while back i was told 2 email thru details of what i wanted
  19. Been trying to get hold of them via email for a few days now and nothing, they shut for summer or something?
  20. well the bore and stroke of a vw 1.9 tdi engine is as follows bore = 79.5 stroke = 95.5 as we all know to work out displacement from then we do the following:: bore x bore x stroke x 0.7854 x number of cylinders so that means the diesel puts out 1896cc The G60 being 81 x 86.4 of course means the pistons will not fit in the holes. The only non-diesel vw engine I know of that has a bore of 79.5 are the early 1600 engines. However it should be possible to bore out a diesel block quite considerably considering the strength they need to withstand the compression on a diesel, so if you had a diesel bottom end and then fitted g60 pistons with a bore of 81mm you would (in theory) have displacement of 1968cc which gives you a 1900 (well closer to 2.0) bottom end of extreme strength
  21. and sticker on the boot says cheldan, dunno y was on there when i got it
  22. crisis over, the code is LP7Z which I believe is light grey metallic
  23. the boot looks like it says its satin silver, which it isnt but as i said u can only see the top half off the letters and numbers that make up the code
