I purchased 500 scaffold boards last month for under £9.00 each - this month they have gone up to £25.00 a board - there is a a shortage of wood and natural materials at the moment - I saw this coming so stocked up - I might even sell half of them- its a very good time to sell plant now or sell a business that owns plant. . This will also create plant theft . Also a massive crime at the moment round Birmingham is exhaust car cat theft- I know two people in the last week that have been victims and both been Jap cars- Its ran by Eastern European gangs and their favourite is a Honda Jazz that can bag them £500.00 - the lesser ones are bagging them £150- £250 easily- proper epidemic. The Hybrid cats fetch big money they love them. SCUM

I remember seeing a white one for sale in Rugeley on a second hand car dealers about 12 years back it was very cheap I was tempted to view it- another missed opportunity same as another 964 2 coupe that was white in 2003 that had a 12 k tag - now 60 k value I imagine if kept in good order.

Looks great in red.

Treated the car to a new registration and dealer decal designed by - Sticker Pig off facebook C6 ABV Corrado 6 cylinder ABV engine code. Check out the address of the dealer on windscreen decal. ha I could only find an audi version for them off google but changed the decal. to vw. Here is one of their stunning classic Audi 80 Quattro Helios Blue . SOLD for a whopping £86.5 K at auction less then 50 k on the clock wow !!!!! https://www.classiccarauctions.co.uk/events/2021-auctions/spring-live-online-sale-2021/spring-live-online-auction-2021/cars/1990-audi-quattro-20v

Huge fan of the looks of esprit here wedge porn and they run rings round most cars on B roads. interestingly you mention the Pantera - guess who is building the gearbox - Andre Gemini Transmissions and I saw one in his workshop in Northampton . Pretty sre he mentioned 50 k lol .

I have heard chris Ferry mention he had manual window parts in the past.

Cool I have read you need to etch primer alloys so now this confirms it.

Cool thanks- I think its fair to say the slave is the good cylinder and the masters are the real pain the ass ha.

Would you mind if asked what paint did you use to spray your box looks very good. I know alloys paint can find it hard to adhere to. Cheers.

I wonder if it has an A on then end as per etka. lol never easy been a corrado.

Thanks mate I have the same issue still got the original one on my car and cant see it- I just want to put in a new slave with the gearbox rebuild - good sign if the sachs is stamped .

Here is a genuine one described as an A on the end of part number as described by etka for corrado , but I cannot see no A on the end of the cylinder on photo. It is an FTE one but surely the stock one was ATE ? https://vwpartsinternational.com/shop/electrical-engine-parts/vw-golf-mk3-vr6-clutch-slave-cylinder-genuine-oem-vw-parts-brand-new-357721261a/

Ok thanks for the info and photos much appreciated is the FTE not ending with an A by chance if it has a vag number - I have a Sachs clutch as well - was the sachs a direct fit ? You would like to think the Sachs one is newly manufactured not a recon like some of the Brembo stuff knocking about any hard press stamps on on the sachs. I believe the fte one to have a wider rod 23.8 mm and ate 23mm - could be wrong though. . Cheers.

Its scary how much things are selling for - x2 window scrapers nos £600.00 not to long ago - glad I got spares in before the massive leap. Pretty scary really as parts more then Porsche from my recent experience of using both OE parts.

More like 1750 then - but a schrick could easily fetch 2k these days in good condition - VSR 3k but I would not be surprised if they are 5k in a couple of years as are so collectable - its not really the performance gains as they are minimum its the collectability which is very much a VW classic thing.

Interesting asking £2000.00 and some are saying bargain complete kit as well. I would not be worried if it was not a complete kit very easily sorted I could get a kit together in a week using aftermarket parts which is what schrick did anyway. My Schrick looked a lot more tidy then this one - I sold it for £1500 to a friend but new myself that shricks if marketed correctly could easily fetch 2 k now . Worldwide audience but for me it was ease of sale and no postage and also help each other out if we need part swapping- I got on o2a box off him last week for VWMS add on box build .

They dont build them like this anymore 276 k miles on original engine. Nice rare body kit to and some fittipaldi. cool motor in my eyes. I know the kits sell for 1.2 k alone https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1990-Mercedes-300TE-Carat-Duchatelet-W124-Sport-Chassis-Last-Owner-21-Years/133714898320?hash=item1f22076d90:g:UNEAAOSwCfBgagVU

Thank You mate I will be buying the ATE one then - iy has the green rubber and from memory the vag one does as well so probably OE supplier. I imagine the TRW is very good as well and only £50 tempted as UK stock.

Ok thanks mate after reading the sachs post it was the union bolt that smapped nothing wrong with the slave - looks like its one of thos parts ready available what a shock - I take it ATE is the OE to Corrado from factory. On the other hand the master is a rare beast I have a nos of them though. Thanks

Hi does anyone know the slave diameter for the slave cylinder on a VR - the part number is 357721261A - but I have seen folks buying ones that do not fit in the past. I have heard the sachs one is not a direct fit to the factory hydraulic line union bolt. I thinking of buying a TRW one which I always thought was a good brand. Has anyone got a genuine used one with ATE ? Might have the ATE part number on it thanks as they also do one. Would this one work says on description Manufacturer Restriction: FTE Diameter [mm]: 23.8 https://www.ebay.co.uk/.../TRW-PJK113-Clutch.../164693871243 Not interested in Febi or Topran when TRW and ATE are available. Also seen this says 23 mm ATE is this the OE one. 23,00 Construction year to:07/1995 ATE:Slave Cylinder, clutch Item number:24.2523-0908.3 Our price:78,96 £ Manufacturer part number:24.2523-0908.3 Manufacturer:ATE EAN number:4006633275156 Condition New Use number: ATE 040049 https://www.autodoc.co.uk/ate/194702 Thanks

Congrats just in time for start of summer - time for a victory beer to as pubs opening as well.

Also is ATE the oe manufacturer for slave cylinder ? I see TRW are available to who from my experience are a quality oe brand. Thanks

Thanks I dont believe late cars have it fitted but could be wrong.

Hi everyone. I have purchased a used 02A gearbox to start building up the 5 th and 6 th gear add on - means I can swap the boxes out and keep one original and only have the car at stealth for one day. . My question is this long bracket came with the box and I cant see one on my box- is it meant to be on my car- my car is a 95 . Shall I fit it when I put the box on - looks like a good bit of extra support. Thanks Bracket No 31 on diagram and pictures of it missing on my rear right engine / gearbox mount. Thanks

I would take a Ruf over a singer to be honest they just dont have the heritage and I prefer the Ruf Germanic style. I would say the yellow bird recreation is probably double and more then the singer. Although looking at the singer site they could create your perfect 964 so would be a hard decision.
