:mad: I am useless with computers! took me 2 there now 2 get these pictures this size! And thats including following the handy screen prompt's!!!

Heres a picture of my corrado when i bought it a year and a half ago, modest looking wasn't it! Cant wait 2 get pictures posted up of her now, anyone seen these b4? The car used 2 belong 2 dan.

Cheers dude for that phone number and information, shows how stupid i am, had no idea it was that easy, only got my credit card about a week ago, never had 1 b4, but i have another problem bothering me now, a guy at work was telling me why not go for a set of road race cam's instead of just tappets, cause apparantley u get tappets and cams all in the 1 set for about £100 odd pound's more? Plus it will give my little corrado a kick up the butt in BHP? What u think? I got a couple of pictures of my corrado b4 any mod's, dan had em, he was the last owner, so u might have seen em b4. U were right about the grill's banana man, although the venom grill dosnt look bad, the black grill is the only 1 that suit's, i have the rieger 2 bar grill in mine now, well 3 bar if u include the eyebrow, and ive kept the 2 bars black but spayed the eyebrow red, i suppose thats what everyone do's anyway? 8)

I must get glass's, never seen 2cc's reply.

I dont know much about cars dudes but that little clip u's are on about is removable and if u turn it around when u do remove it, it fit's back on2 the spark plug lead a different way, its a finger grip tool for helpin u remove the spark plug leads.

I checked out the eurocarparts site banana man and there £6.40 each+vat, so u were not far wrong, thats 1 flash lookin corrado man, always had a notion yellow wouldnt suit a corrado but boy was I wrong :silly: . Definatley a nice car, wheels look well, good job the grill was left black cause if it was yellow i think it would take away the corrados bad attitude look!! I will let u know the crack if i need those tappets dude, chances are i will, just not while sure about how 2 go about ordering them, i'll c dan durin the week, he's more used 2 this crack than i am. :thumbleft:

Theres about 126,000 on my corrado at the moment andi, but the cam's seem nice and smoothly rounded yet, no scraps or ragged edges which people tell me is a bad sign. I had 2 log off early lads on wed nite, woman bother, can't seem 2 get one!! Thanks for the welcome 2 the site chuck, still waitin 2 get a couple of pictures taken of my car, so u's can get a look at her. Banana man i will take ur word for it about the tappets cause i havent got the cam's out yet and i cant see down by em at the minute, very compact, and if u know anywhere i could get a complete tappet set at the right money i would very much appreciate it, look's like i'll be doin the whole job myself as my da's a mechanic and just could not be assed 2 look at it, and im definatley NO mechanic!! :? :scratch:

I must get a couple of pictures of my 16v shortly and stick em on the computer, that is a nice corrado u had jim, nice colour, great shot under the tree, i got mine recently resprayed as she was dulling with the sun, could not B bothered 2 rub the old paint with G3 or even T-cut, i reckon thats butchery, got her redone tornado red + laquered, dans seen it, reckons it looks well, plus a nice set of 17inch rims and an eyebrow, i also have the windscreen water sprayers removed and fitted 2 the wipers, makes cleanin the car easier, dans idea, shes also very low and with a leather interior, im goin on a bit, i'll let the pic's do the talkin, and by the way i forgot 2 mention, my corrado is slightly over 100,000 miles :D , slightly my a#;e, :D

Cheers dan, and im still tryin 2 get on2 this computer, I was talkin 2 a mechanic earlier on 2day and jim ur not far wrong, the mechanic reckons 1 shim and tappet costs roughly around £10, and i need 1 shim and tappet per valve! £160, so that puts operation corrado on hold for a while, and dan im gettin the distributor looked at 2nite, although i reckon the tappets should cure my problem, and whats £160 ehh, sure my corrado's priceless 2 me! she's worth every penny, i'll just skip this months morgage! :D :D :D

I was wondering did anyone ever encounter a loud clicking in the head of a 1.8 16v that sounded like worn shim's or something and if so what did they do 2 sort it out, I have a 1990 16v for about a year and a half and it's just started doin this clickin, sounds like a 1.1 nova pushrod engine, u know, really annoying, i have noticed some oil in the distributor cap? I have the rocker cover off at the moment and considering replacing the shim's and hydraulic lifter's, but dont want 2 start stripping any further in case it's something simple, the only other problem i ever had with the car is when it busted up the inside of the distributor about 3 months after i bought it, i replaced it and the cars drove fine since until now.
