  1. Even standard pagids for these are not cheap !
  2. Not sure I was just glancing through the mag, there were a good few different ones they were comparing they all seemed to be solid. There were also some steering tie rods they were comparing. They looked to be beefed up ones for track use, seemed like a nice upgrade.
  3. Saw an article in this months performance VW magazine about uprated steering link rods. There seemed to be plenty of different ones to use some looked totally solid with no bushes. Anyone running any of these, are they as good as they are made out to be?
  4. Did you go with the 20V Quattro MC? What uprraded pads are you using with them?
  5. Pads are a good bit different than the G60s way more surface area.
  6. The S2 disks are slightly smaller than 280mm as far as I remember 276mm or 278mm. I don’t think it makes a difference with the carriers tho.
  7. Mrk iv rears is a decent upgrade while your at it. Dec did you have to upgrade your MC with that brembo kit?
  8. Has anyone had the same problem fitting it to a KR? Id like to know this asap before its too late to send it back. Im guessing its the same issue if its the steering rack. I would also like to know before I go stripping the car.
  9. Looks great Dave, I’ve dropped mine about 50mm with H&Rs with 16s and its quite harsh I notice a lot more rattles and things making noise in the cab. The handling has improved a lot but on bumpy roads or over speed bumps its quite rough. Im giving it a few weeks to settle in before I decide on the ride height.
  10. Yeah I might go with a TDI front mount in the new yr see if it helps. I thought it may have been a tight throttle cable but putting in the clutch makes it even which rules that one out.
  11. Its not too bad on pull away, I was thinking about bleeding the clutch in the new yr. Theres no poly bushes in the front end, I just replaced the OEM stuff. I may go poly down the line but not if its going to If its going to turn the car into buckaroo !
  12. Just got an email from the place turns out you need a catreplacer for 16Vs if you have a front silencer. They look like they would do the trick. Another 40 quid + shipping :(
  13. My 16V is currently quite jumpy in low gears, 1st or 2nd rev over 3000 and lift off it gets very jumpy. If I throw in the clutch it evens out, I don’t notice any slipping up hills or through the gears its only on lift off in low gears. Is it possible that its slipping on lift off? I’ve recently rebuilt the engine and put in a solid front mount and a set of coilovers with a 50mm drop. I don’t have poly bushes but all new bushes in the front and new wishbones. Would any of these upgrades be causing this problem?
  14. White2505 have you figured out how to attach the manifold to your 1.8 16V exhaust ?
  15. Just checked pics of my front silencer and it has 2 pipes going into it, just wondering how this manifold attaches to this? Does this section get bypassed straight to the intermediate silencers?
  16. Anyone replace the brake master cylinder when upgrading to brembos? I hear 24mm master cylinders work best with the brembo setup anyone use one? What about a non abs setup?
  17. Picked one of these up myself recently, Im putting it in an early 1.8 16V but Im not sure how it will fit, will I need to get a pipe made up to join the lower end to the cat? Do 1.8 16V KRs have cats?
  18. Anyone know a good website to search for used cars (non Corrados :lol: ) I’ve already tried the autotrader and carsource.

    Wiper motor

    Im having trouble with my wipers since fitting the lupo wipers the blades barley move even at full tilt. Has anyone replaced the wiper motor with the lupo one? This is not just a problem on a dry windscreen it’s a problem with the motor it looks/feels like its struggling with the bigger/wider arms and blades. Im thinking of replacing the motor with one of the newer type motors, is this a big job? Has anyone done it?

    Run'n Slicks

    I know slicks are hard on the car, and Im aware of the the issue of the sloshing. I was/am asking about the different types of slicks people use and any good places to get them. Perhaps people can give an insight into these Maxsports or remoulds road legal slicks some people use or the Michelin Exaltos. Thanks Rich I’ve heard you mention those yokos before they seemed decent for the occasional track use.

    Run'n Slicks

    Does anyone here run with slicks for track days? Just wondering what’s the general opinions are with slicks what’s the best compound to go with. The name of a decent place that sells them? Which ones best suit the corrado?
