    What have you got planned? off the lights: you lose. 0-60: you lose. 5 laps around a track... depends who's the better driver!

    I've also been busy in the boot, fitting carpeted MDF flooring. My old carpet was really grimey so something needed to be done! I cut and laid some 1½" thick foam (£17) to give a firm base, had a local carpenters shape a piece of MDF (£10) and covered that with acoustic carpet (£22) I also had enough carpet to recover the dodgy home made stealth shelf that came with the car. (not worthy of pics!) :)

    An update! Been busy with DIY. Fitted In-pro lights that finally arrived from January's group buy! I was unlucky they were so late, but as they say, better late then never!

    kevhaywire, thats cops mate! they were prob doing something more interesting, hence undercover. I saw a scooby get pulled by police in a fiat punto! was around norfolk, scooby caned past me down dual carrigeway, slowed for a roundabout and punto behind me put lights on, went round me and pulled him over. He had blue lights in the grille and at the back.

    Thanks Gav, i've checked GSF's website and the headgaskets are different. I've now been asked to check which cambelts etc to use so have started new thread with more relevant title! : http://the-corrado.net/.archive/forum/viewtopic.php?t=22481 Baz.

    Hi, Im in the process of converting my 1.8 to a 2.0 (9a short block) I'm keeping the 1.8 head and need to know: Which cambelt should be used, 1.8 or 2.0? Which head gasket should be used, 1.8 or 2.0? Can i use standard 1.8 cam pulleys? What degrees does the ignition timing need to be changed to? Thanks, Baz.

    Nothing but UK hip hop for me at the moment. Bought The documentry by The Game, but hardly played it. My bro's a DJ, and puts mix CD's together for me. Latest has Klashnikoff, Skinnyman, Aspects, Phi life cypher etc.. Last one had loads of old happy hardcore/D&B etc as he found all his old 90's records, but not my cup of tea!

    not my cup of tea, fitting M3 style today. Can understand people thinking imitation BMW etc, but i think theyre a lot better than standard!

    Were you there when it was taken?! :lol:

    Slightly OT, but a car from bristol made the headlines for a congestion charge when it first started. Check this out!!: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/2803699.stm

    Audioscape should do you one for about the same.

    Tempest, my lights arrived today, but one is slightly broken. :cry: After waiting as long as i did, I'll fit them as they are. Thanks for organising the group buy, and chasing the german guy when needed! Will post pics asap, cars not running at the mo, so have plenty of time!
  19. bristolbaron
    hmm.. not sure about this Riley, yellow?! Would look much better with indicators done also IMO.

    Hi! Looks tidy mate, but needs dropping! godskitchen, low miles and FSH, he could get a couple of months :D

    The allegro vanden plas.. So bling before its time! Just check the grille and wheels, Xzibit would be proud!

    Nothing wrong with that!! I still shout 'Polo' everytime i see one and i sold mine last year!
  24. bristolbaron
    Have done lots of searching on clubgti, and I will be going the 9A route. Can anyone confirm that i do need the 9A head gasket set? And if i'll need to do any engine management work (ignition timing etc..)? Thanks, Baz.
