me too if the price is good :)

David, is there any noticeable acceleration difference between the OZs and your old 15s?

I had 17s on my 16v. The acceleration was definitley effected,particularly under 60mph. Really didn't like them in that respect, but i think they were particularly heavy wheels.

It handled great with them, felt so secure and had so much grip,IMO better than the 15s.

If you've got a g60 or vr6, you may not notice the accelaration difference as much cos they have more torque?? Dont quote me on that though :)

This is one of my many favourites. Just damn beautiful :-P

Dont know of a c fitted with these but a mates got a 40mm spax kit on his mk3 fiesta which handles amazingly well - almost as good as my c :shock:

If you've got a deep 90mm spoiler on the front, you'll definitley be needing a smaller 40mm (or 50?) one :lol:

There's one on ebay for £5.54 + P+P. HeHe

I got one when they were £4.99. As everyones says, they're not the best - maybe cos the one manual covers so many VWs. Havn't used it yet but im sure one day it will come in handy.

Definitley worth £2, they do em in Milton Keynes Halfords

Had a set of A539's & Goodyear F1 eagles, which I found were great in the wet...

 

Hey Rob, I got a pair of them uniroyls for mrs's car form Motech, not a bad tyre, how you finding yours?

Must of been thinking of an older model of yokos :roll:

Alrite Bally, im pretty pleased with them. Not sure if there properly bed in yet but compared to the old set (3 different makes :shock: ) they're bloody brilliant - both in wet and dry. Excellent for the money IMO

You got some new coilovers and wheels then?

I think the A539s are apparently crap in the wet

Sweet! What size wheels are those, they look like 18s?!

I've been told 10 pound a tyre fitted/balanced everywhere i've asked

Looks really nice mate! Very clean engine bay :)

Do you mind me asking how much you paid for your respray?

When they say 150mph max, i would imagine there is some kind of safety factor that they work to. You could probably do 160-170 mph on v rated tyres but they mark it down a bit to be 100% safe??

Standard tyre size for my standard 16v 6" wide wheels is 185/55R15. Will 195/50R15 be ok? Want a fatter tyre, lower profile and there cheaper! Im pretty sure they should be ok.

My brother always takes the p*** saying my car looks like a delorean

 

Well it was designed by the same bloke.

Ah, i seem to remember reading that somewhere -figures

I think standard corrados look way to high and spoil the great body shape. I suggested to my dad about buying a VR6 for himself, but think he was put off by the high stance. He said it didn't look very sporty

Doesn't seem my family like corrados much :(

I've got a mate who has used both Goodyear F1s and Uniroyal Rainsports (i think) and says that the uniroyals are pretty much as good as the f1s in the dry and better in the wet. Fair bit cheaper too

My brother always takes the piss saying my car looks like a delorean :mad: :lol:

What does he know, i love the looks. One of the main points that attracted me to them. Do look a bit dated now but i like old cars so suits me

yeah the mk3 ones fit straight on, no problems for me. Havn't seized up yet...

I think if you wanted to get your wheels refurbed, places charge on average about £30 a wheel. £120 isn't a lot of money for 'as new' wheels.

Never had this done though so not too sure on wheather that would be a good job for that price??

a blob of clear silicone between parts does the job

nice idea, i'l give it a try :) . Hardest bit is finding the rattles though...

finally bit the bullet and ordered the lupo wipers even though i dont really like the look of them,but with the originals being pants,so in the interests of safety i bought some,will be picking them up tomorrow

you wont regret it :) I had the same thoughts but now ive got em i think they look alright

Sorry to go a bit off topic and hijack your thread but has anyone got any great tips on getting rid of rattles in the interior etc. All i know of is making sure everything is tightened and to use stickypads

I got one from c&r and fitted perfect. They must of got you the wrong one mate

Bally, i've got G60 brakes on mine - just the brackets and disks with 16v pads. I'd strongly advise to get the calipers as well as it was a fair bit of hassle getting mine on. Bit of a bodge really it seemed, shouldn't really bodge brakes :lol:

Joby, I have Ate power discs with pagid fast road pads and there good...when warmed up. Coming off the motorway and trying to come to a stop can seem a bit scary :shock: Before you go and buy fast road pads, think about what you use your car for. If say you do loads of motorway miles i'd say stick with normal pads.

Thats just my experience anyway

I replaced my cambelt and tensioner at the same time as you have to take the belt off to get the head off. Once you de-tension the belt it should be replaced for a new one.

My head gasket went and i never skimmed the head. As you say there is conflicting advice as usual. Mines been fine ever since though but my gasket hadn't gone badly and she never overheated.

Good luck mate! :D
