Has anyone cut down their 90mm spoiler? - done it
Cougar replied to diggerbucket's topic in Exterior
Guys, guys, just go over to VWVortex and you will have dozens of guys willing to trade a 50mm for a 90mm, myself included. -
You got it, I believe it's the trim that is most difficult to get here. I have a spare set of retracts, wanna trade? :)

I have a Mustang GT rolling chassis that I keep wondering the same thing about. Alot of fabrication but it would be fun.
-
You guys are funny! :) It's a bit of a myth actually, certainly everyone I know wouldn't drive without a belt and, in fact your manual euro belts are much in demand over here.

I like my green G60 with the stok grill, black badge and no G60 badge (I have it though)
-
Kumho Extas work really well and have a very high wear rating. (cheap too)
-
2 nails and a screwdriver works too, oh and a calking gun for the serpentine belt tensioner.
-
There's a guy on VWVortex that has a hitch under the bumper so there was no cutting at all. He has a trailer for his racing gear that is the back half of a corrado. Both the car and the trailer are painted the same and have the same wheels. Pretty cool.

I wouldn't do it on a G60 though unless you have the boost return removed. I can't believe that water would be kind to a Glader.

Or, as in my case, the motor bottom bushing oblonged and the shaft wobbles about drawing too much current.

Anyone see what a lean condition can do to a piston on NO2? Granted mine was a Ford 428 with a 250 hp fogger system, when the aux fuel pump hiccupped and the pressure went down, BOOM. 1 forged piston completely gone and half of another shattered. Point being, don't go over board with No2. Small charges will work wonders but it's easy to get greedy.

Betcha it's the timing belt tensioner bearing (G60), I replace it with each timing belt change. To tighten the belt tension there are 2 small holes opposite of each other in the middle of the tensioner pulley, a spanner that fits in the holes is best but turning this center piece tightens the belt. Once tight enough (you can twist the belt a 1/4 way around), lock the nut down.

G60 serpentine belt tensioner (trick to getting it back on)
Cougar replied to Cougar's topic in Engine Bay
Hmmmm, I like the idea of selling them on ebay! -
Check out the serpentine belt tensioner install trick I posted a few minutes ago. Might save you some headache.

Ripped mine off yesterday as a matter of fact.
