  1. g60bv, am i right in thinking that VR6 front discs won't work because the offset is different ?
  2. Does the G60 Corrado have the same front discs a Seat Cupra ? If so what year model Seat is the same ? I'm having trouble getting front discs here, as no other VW has the 280mm discs. VW want $150 each and can take up to 4 weeks to get them. To confuse things more, i'm converting to 5x100, using VR6 outer CV's, hubs, bearings and rear rotors. I've been told that the VR6 front discs won't work because the offset is different, so the best thing is to redrill the 4x100 discs like this .... viewtopic.php?p=657169#657169 Any thoughts guys ? Would be much appreciated ! Matt
  3. Heres my Rado art, you likey ....? Pop.jpg[/attachment:3jni8ank]
  4. Dan you must have missed a page ? 17" RS are on, sort of, still waiting on parts to convert to 5x100 Imported Photos 00039.JPG[/attachment:364wiqgq] Good stuff Blair, i might have moved back to Byrn Bay by then, not that keen on Melbourne to be honest !! But, i'll have a Coopers with you for sure.... coullstar, ireckon these will be more of a pain than my 16's, but its cool, i've wanted 301's since i saw Moonlight VR's and Biggerbigneils in 2004, still havn't gone off them so had to get a set. _leon_, i didn't have any trouble at all, only took 4 weeks to get here, not a mark on it !! Matt
  5. Yep, mines got one, came with a chrome badge which i soon got rid of. If you get desperate, i've got one you can have
  6. Its terrible !! The first one was really hard to watch, the presenter was trying to hard to be like Clarkson. Second one was a bit better, might be interesting for some of you who havn't been here and don't know your Commodores from your Falcons .....
  7. WTF !! All that just to fit a grill ?? Why can't they just clip in like the standard one ?
  8. Doesn't that kit without the Rotors come with the Carriers for $675USD ??
  9. Yes i'm pretty sure they will, the complete kit with rotors had 280mm discs.
  10. Hi Stevo ! Just wanted to compare prices really, they're pretty cheap at this place in the States take a look ..... http://www.momentummotorparts.com/store ... bridgebolt
  11. Anyone know where i can source these, other than Rally Design ??
  12. No, the more i look at it the more i dislike it, it is not a Corrado anymore.
  13. Hi mate , cheers, still got alot more to do but thats the majority done. Yeah i get asked what it is all the time, its funny driving it around here ! Hope you're well ?

    Or http://www.ecstuning.com/stage/edpd/pag ... Conversion because you won't be adding 15mm to the offset. Or, buy VR6 outer CV's and VR6 hubs, then redrill some 4x100 brake discs to 5x100 for the front, on the rear just change the rotors to VR6 ones.
  15. Oh, wondered what you meant !! 195/40/17 P Zero Neros mate
  16. Cheers mate, they're 7.5" front and 8" rear. I'm liking the fact that they're ET33 up front, same as standard G60 BBS, so it should still handle well.
  17. Ha Ha i did ge tlucky !! Just got it back yesterday, he done an awesome job, trial fitted a 301 on one bolt, looking good
  18. Was thinking the same thing myself, however its is a left-hooker so could live in a country with minimal rain? The car is in America, i've seen another guys car there who deleted his windscreen wipers so i guess its OK, stupid mod to do if you ask me though.
  19. The Rallye style body and grill look hideous along with the colour, but a pretty tidy install in the bay and the dash looks good......... Bet it goes well ! Found it on Vortex,

    roof rail/trim

    Hi, you have to pry the rear end cap off with a screwdriver, then they'll pull out of the groove in your roof, then the front cap will unhook. Cheapest place to get the original VAG roof rubbers is www.gpcvwaudi.co.uk .... about 35 pounds each i think, get 2 new end caps as well.
  21. Go to www.ARZtuning.de they do a windscreen seal kit with the parts you want .............
  22. Still not sold on the looks but it does look better in that video
  23. The Tiff Nedell video isn't on Youtube anymore, but this one turned up, only short but pretty cool http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=3Hz1KSOat ... re=related Also, i remember Top Gear (i think) reviewing a Green Storm once, not sure if its been mentioned on here before, wouldn't mind seeing it again if anyone has it ??
  24. No Haynes for the Corrado mate no, most people have the Bentley published official factory repair manual, they're not cheap though, try www.amazon.ca - i got mine there, cheapest i could find it !
