    G60 ISV

    Supercharged, Have you tried a different chip ?
  2. Yeah they lok great - all the subtle little mods like this make a huge difference and just finish it off nicely
  3. I'm tinkin u cud Streeetch sum 195/40/17 on dat rim
  4. Mmmm - have a read of this........ http://www.corrado-club.ca/forum/ultima ... =000907&p=
  5. Wow - i actually saw a Corrado today ! Tatty Red 16v (me tink) opposite Council/Court building near Odeon. First one i've seen in ages
  6. Well - its been so tempromental. It was idling shitey the day i replaced them, done the job and it was fine, the temp guage is working. But yesterday and today it sounds rough again. Sorted that weird earth wire out aswell. So maybe its time to clean the ISV out ? Hows yours - any progress
  7. Ooh yeah !! Look amazing !!
  8. One of very few newer cars that i like the look of aswell - and its not German, whats happening to me !!
  9. CV's all fine and bearings, no clunky steering just sounds like i'm in an plane going up a runway to take off
  10. Mine feels great to drive now - like you said with the dead ahead feel. I actually came that way home tonight, threw it round that corner and roundabout(towards town) felt great !! Its more so when i'm in a straight line (on the A14) around 60-75mph get past 80 and it starts to fade. My girlfriend put her hands over her ears on the A12 yesterday! I've got Conti Sport Contact 2's at the mo - could be them ?? Does the noise dissapear on cornering with your cheaper set up Kev (Joke) !!?
  11. Since having my S/S FK Konigsport Coilovers fitted i can say that the ride is nice and firm but not too hard/crashy, seems to absorb bumps well and i feel like i can throw it round corners compared to the standard set up. Thing is the car is sooo noisy now, sounds like i'm in a helicopter, its weird cos the smoother the road is, the noisier it becomes, i mean like tyre noise and vibration, even on my standard wheels. Does this sound normal ? Whats your car like since changing suspension ?? I'm thinking my allignment could be out because when i corner hardish to the left the noise dissapears and to the right it seems to get worse. Whatcha think ?
  12. Well - i now have a perfect idle with Oil at 80+ AND a temp guage !! 2 minute job !Chufties !! Well, for now anyway ! Cheers, nice when things go right.
  13. Mmmm,O ring, GSF didn't send one of those, couldn't see one listed either - do you think i should risk using the existing one ?? Thanks mate !!
  14. Just went to change both Blue and Black Sensors - pulled clip off Black one - do i now just yank it out and replace with new one or is there something i'm missing here . Starting leaking coolant aswell, i don't have to drain it first do i ??
  15. Because they're still doing their job without blinding others on the road ? Nothing worse than people driving around with blinding fog lights on IMO. Not liking the headlights but can't decide on the fogs, think they look good on the burgundy C tho. Suprised people hate these but want those chav angel eyes !! YUK !!
  16. Mmmmm, i might like the fogs when i've made up my mind......
  17. I read in a previous thread that theres a ground from TB to coil. Anyone know what i mean? Trying to find pic on intraweb but can't find one. (No camera/scanner either) Did you get PM Steve?
  18. Plenty of G60 's seem to be having trouble recently now its my turn. First up i'll mention that my Temp Guage hasn't worked for a month or 2, keep putting off sorting it. Mine starts fine from cold, no probs till the oil hits 80 - 90 then it just won't idle smoothly, splutters and struggles to keep turning over. I've started it from cold,idled fine, disconnected the blue temp sensor and the revs drop to shite like when its hot. Does this mean the BTS is doing its job ? Today i've found a flattish black wire which gets thin on one end coming out of the coil, does this sound like the ground that goes to the throttle body to anyone?? If so then where on the TB does it go?? And could this affect the idle/temp sensors??
  19. Have a read of Supercharged's thread in 'Engine Bay' - VERY LUMPY G60 mate. Simular probs that i'm having aswell. The thread doesn't amount to any solution but might give you some clues !!

    G60 ISV

    Well i ordered both sensors from GSF earlier, worth a try. I noticed they don't stock G60 ISV's, are they available through stealerships ?
  21. Now thats what i like to see on a kitchen table.......forget doillies, napkins and the fruit bowl lets get a G60 engine on it!! Proud of you Steve, and yes Metallic Black is the best ! Looks very clean too.
  22. My Split Rim bolts rubbed on my brakes, is that where yours are catching Peter ?? I ground a bit off and used 3mm spacers....

    G60 ISV

    I could if i knew how !! And if it was light and i had some tools !! Is it just the top plug that you replace? And are they crimped or screwed or somehow ? Just seems weird that when i unplugged it, it made a difference, makes me think that it works.
