Ive just renewed my insurance with Performance direct. £380 fully comp :D 8) I paid £550 with them last year and again every other company wanted at least £100 more :lol: (2 years NCB, Garaged, 26 years old, Cat1 Alarm etc etc) £380 inc all my mods even the air ride which I thought might take it up a bit :shock: I feel old now that my insurance is less than £500 :lol:

Angel eye units plug into the cars loom and have there own loom inside (just like OE lights) they use 2x H7's as Supercharged said :D

He told me that her paid about £1300 for this kit but on http://www.rayvern.bigfathead.com there's kits for £800 8)

Thanks guys :D 8) Goldie Got the Mag. Cheers mate :D C. Will Corrado G60 2 The ride is much much better than I thought it would be from the OLD stuff id read about air ride. Its still quite expensive though but I managed to p/x my coilovers for the air ride from a mate in Leeds who had it on his car for about 12 months. He put wider wheels on (10's I think he said :lol: ) and they rubbed through one of the rear bags, so he got me two new ones for the back. I got 2 2.5l tanks with the kit so I bought another 10l one. The two small ones fit under the false floor in the boot and the larger one behind the rear seats. Still loads of room for my sub/amp's Jay I set the height that I would do 99% of my driving at and had the tracking done. Ive got a PSI gauge with the control switches so I know what pressure I need the bags to be at that height. Seems to be working so far :lol:

Supercharged I had that suggestion this morning from someone at work so im gonna strip everything off this weekend and have a look. Good excuse to drive my g/f's Passat now though …… 20vT power :lol: 8)

lol

Could someone tell me what the diameter of the 1.8 16v downpipe is please :D (Exit end of pipe :wink: )

I wouldnt have thought that would be very safe ........ £110 = maybe not :oops: :lol:

I hope its not the rear axle beam !!!!! and £110 for the stub ...... is that from VAG ? It wasnt a hard bump and I assume the stub is weaker than the beam so it should bend first (fingers crossed :lol: )

The stupid idiot that is me :lol: reversed in the carpark at work this morning and just slightly knocked the offside rear wheels against a curb. Now it was only a very slight bump but now the wheel doesn’t look straight, it looks like its pointing inwards as if ive got slight toe in on one rear wheel :roll: A mate at work says its gonna be a bent stub axle !!!! So how hard is it to change and do I need to change more than one part or just this - 43806D STUB AXLE-REAR RH CO 9/88 > Rear Disc Brakes £42.50 Ive done most things on car's before but not one of these !!

Thanks :D Id say that the air ride kit im using is just as good as the Koni coilovers that I had on before, that’s probably because the kit uses Koni struts 8) The ride is a bit strange at first though as its feels really firm round the corners like a decent set of coils but you dont get any of the crashing on the potholes, just really nice and smooth. I think that as with everything now you get what you pay for. Yep you can adjust the height to what ever you want while moving I used to have to go the long way round to work because of some major pyramid type speed humps ...... not a problem now :lol:

Detailed In-Pro's 8) (hand painted in the kitchen and took ages :lol: )

Plastic welding then a thin skim of filler/fibre glass is the only way to do it properly !!!!! I got a bodyshop to do mine as id probably screw it up but im told that plastic welding is really easy :wink: I know someone who filled the holes of a Mk3 with blocks of wood, god only knows how much filler over the top then varnished the wood that poked out the back of the bumper :roll: :roll: :roll: Only took a week to crack :lol:

After seeing my mate try and smooth his Mk3 Golf bumper with filler :lol: which cracked within a week :lol: I got a local small bodyshop to do it. Its plastic welded and it hasnt cracked etc in the last year that ive had it done. The car get used every day so I think if it was gonna go then it would have by now :wink: The bodyshop that did it hadnt done a Corrado bumper before so only charged me £120 inc painting it 8)

The pic was taken by Dave Wigmore from Golf+. I did ask him if I could take a pic of the tripod/suction cups that were sticking out the back of my car but he didn’t want people to see how he does it. Which is fair enough really. All I had to do was take the handbrake off and roll down the hill so im only doing 2mph in that pic :lol: It look about 20 passes to get right though :lol:

How’s this for a cool pic :D

This is what Babel Fish came up with for that 8) :lol: This very Beau Corrado was demarquait by its monochromic treatment and its completion!! Id love to have a look at the mag if thats ok with you 8) Cheers

lol Hi Cav. Is there a forum your NOT on :lol: I need to talk to you in the new year about Cats Passat :wink:

Cheers guys :D I cant stop playing with it :lol: Bally I havent tried the lowest setting yet but not far off 8) The sump sits on the ground at the lowest so might not be a very good idea :lol:

Well after fitting the Koni coilovers (from Zak on here) and only having them on the car for a few weeks I got talking to Matt (Doublezero on E38) about my Golf+ feature. Turns out he's taken the air ride system off his car and we came to a sorted out a deal to swap it for my Koni's 8) Its a Rayvern kit using Koni struts and BRAND NEW Firestone bags 8) 8) The ride is fantastic but a bit weird :? It feels really stable like being on the coilovers but no crashing or bad back when going over the massive potholes round here 8) Corrado ass goes up / Corrado ass goes down lol A cool video :D 8) OR if it doesnt work try - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RzQEaxHsqZQ

Here's my Isotta Valleluga wheel :D

Mine looks a bit differwnt now :lol: Xmas present 2 years ago :D Now

My g/f has just called me at work apparently its all working again :lol: :lol: It wasn’t working late lastnight !! Bloody cars :roll: :roll: and I still hadn’t put any petrol in it either :lol:

Thanks Nick. Im gonna have a look again tomorrow then ill give you a shout if thats ok 8) Its still under warranty with the garage in Cleckheaton but its getting time to go over there and let some monkey try to figure it out :lol:
