  1. Right Id usually look at the white sticker in the boot, BUT the sticker is in ace condition apart from the bit where the colour code is and thats got a scratch on it :mad: So im looking for some "gen" on colour code. Ive looked at the .doc off all the corrado colours and the closet thing I think it could be is light grey matallic but what do you lot think.
  2. same colour as my ghee60 that is, looks quite good
  3. About time you turned up on here m8, and about time you got a corrado
  4. a lot of the cheaper ones use the standard arial and therefore are pretty dire for reception, one of the best units is the blaupunkt bad54 which has its own arial, i know a guy who had one in his c and he had around 50 stations with perfect reception
  5. i like them, dont know y but i do
  6. i took bonnet off, bumper and slam off, bonnet 2 get the height and reach but was prob a bit much actually
  7. good idea that s2 engine lark, wish id thought of it
  8. Heres mine, evo 7 intercooler, bought for 40quid :D cos some idiot jet washed it :roll: All of my hosing (apart from the connections 2 intercooler and charger) is being made from stainless and is a bit of a monster job but its getting there, also making inlets for the charger out of stainless 2 fit a pair of cone filers on, one either side. What subaru intercooler you talking about? the sti wrx one that sits on top of the engine, if so I have one sitting here that i could b persuaded to part with, its the denso part and quite compact, I originally planned 2 put it where the original one sits but the evo one came up cheap.
  9. i can get low comp forged pistons for a lot cheaper than that to any compression you want. S2 pistons will work as the bore and stroke ratio of the straight 5 20 is exactly the same as all vw 1.8 engines
  10. it melted itsself before so cant have enough cooling
  11. standard bumber, havehad 2 chop 1/2 inch out of mental suport and remove the number plate which has been meshed but standard one just about fits over it
  12. yup all holes are covered with duck tape now it was added shortly after photo was taken
  13. yup, i would have mounted the tweaters in the dash (original location) but the car had tweakers in the holes already so they have 2 go there or there would have been holes and it will be getting some custom trimmed door cards soon so the crossovers will be moved into the dash, its just a tempory thing, the roadangel gets moved from car to car so the lead will have to stay but i should be getting a spare lead soon which will be fed down the back of the dash and wired in place which will get rid of the annoying dangly wire, the headunit was a bargain its the 7600mp and its a nice unit
  14. Infinity 17cm componants and a nice pioneer headunit
  15. Evo 7 intercooler, and custom front crossbeam alowing mounting of said intercooler and big oil cooler (cant see it its behind intercooler)

    Door card removal

    mines early, but i think the only difference is the switches
  18. Probably really straight forward but how do u get the door cards off, the door handle is stopping it from coming off and I cant see a way of removing it

    Timing Issues

    done all that and now found the problem, since doing a compression test the valves have decided to all stick, randomly

    Timing Issues

    there is a mark on the top of the cam shaft pulley and also a mark on each of the cams inside the head that point at each other when the mark on the pully is pointing straight up

    Timing Issues

    Hello, Ive replaced the head on the yellow corrado 16v and have come across a slight problem, its all back together but it doesnt work. As far as I can see it is all timed correctly, cylinder 1+4 at the top of the bored and timing mark on pulley and fly wheel at tdc. The mark on the cam is also pointing at the correct mark. And both of the little circles on the cams are pointing at each other. Now to my mind that means its all timed correctly. BUT it still wont work, so Im probably being really dense and its obvious but its cold outside and ive had enough, so this is a call for HELP! Thank You, and Goodnight
