    andy have you looked at the ones DDI made up?
  8. got to agree - i too think its a shame that a corrado cant beat scoobies - but i'd still rather have the corrado over one. i respect the fact they are good cars though. in fact every female that has been in my car loves it ;) and often spends the first 10 mins of the journey asking questions about it as usually theyve never seen one before!
  9. i have to admit - if someone told me that fable i'd make sure it was well known they were talking utter cr@p and take my car elsewhere. Nothing worse than a cheating mechanic. Unfortunately they are everywhere. Best thing to do I find is to spout off a lot of technical stuff when you take your car in to instantly make them realise you know a lot more than the average punter and fairy tale stories like above will NOT work on you. Good luck buddy

    Exhaust Mounts

    would be interested to know what you replaced them with?
  15. yep - once the subframe is lowered and the engine is supported - then you can really get working
  16. i was forced to take out a pipe with the rack due to a rounded head - regardless that way you can clean the filth off and waxoyl the metal sections.

    Exhaust Mounts

    got my powerflex ones for £25 in total i think. been there for months and fine.
  18. @Mike Edwards: to change the rack? You can do it with that lot - I did it using 2 trolley jacks and 2 axle stands. and tools and hands ;) Just drop the subframe - it'll make life much easier for you - when the cars only on axle stands getting the rack off the bolts attached to the subframe requires some room - unless you want to knock the 4 bolts out then drop the subframe and provide yourself with enough room to lift it up and over. 1 jack under the engine for when you unbolt the rear 2 engine mounts, 1 under the subframe for when you unbolt and I'm sure you can guess where the axle stands go ;) lol As a side issue, after changing my steering rack I got a very noticable clunk when turning ther wheel slightly - located it to a pinch bolt at the UJ within the cabin - i.e. the UJ before goign through the bulkhead. Tightened it up and much much better...
