to you too :-P :lol: :lol: :lol: LOL......seriously mate the quote about crashing wasn't meant or directed to anyone on the forum :wink:

well must admit was slightly tempted by them :-P .......and the boxed mk3 GTi anniversary RX's too......but coilovers was top of the shopping list and i was already getting my solitudes refurbed so decided to "leave" them for you :wink:

and if i'm not mistaken if you look very closely you'll also notice what appears to be the bigger front spoiler too :wink:

bet its made all the difference too.....amazing how something so minor can and does make a difference once its been fixed........i noticed it most when i bought new indicators a couple of years ago just cos my old ones looked yellow-ish instead of orange.....fitted them up and WOW!!! orange indicators :wink: tidied up the front no end..............

Yeah, but this new engine will have the power that I won't have to worry about that too much! :lol: and of course your new diet too mate :lol: :-P :-P :wink:

well Kev if you get yourself over to INTERS this year i'm sure there will be another set for sale too.......IIRC i saw 2 sets of them last year :wink:

not an owner of such a nice colour.........but thought you would like the pic taken of your C at the RR day in November :wink:

12-disc in glovebox :D

its not a campaign tho :wink: ...............very early VR's came with those alloys too IIRC thats a VW press shot :wink:

so too does crashing yer motor :-P :lol: :lol: :lol: .............IMO its just plain stupid :roll: :? do you think that your bumper isnt going to be affected in anyway by constant flame spitting??

being a storm owner myself..........i find that leaving one totally original is ok.......but i feel they(like all late VR's) benefit looks wise from lower suspension.....ok mine is approx 65mm lowered so some might think its a bit too radical but the standard ride height is a joke.........as it makes the wheels look totally lost in the arches.........lowering it by even 30mm makes the original solitudes look a hell of a lot less "lost"..............all IMHO also as long as it is a genuine storm with the badges intact i dont think subtle mods detract from its standard spec.......and as for its "uniqueness" at the end of the day as ive stated before its just a leathered up VR that attracts a hefty premium cos of a couple of badges and different wheels and mystic blue paint(on 50% of them).....tbh the only people who scored with the storm were those that bought them new as i believe it worked out cheaper than speccing a VR with leather.......the bulk of ppl who bought 2nd hand would have paid a premium over the standard(even leathered up) VR............though later on some us were lucky to pick them up at normal VR prices.......just my 2pence :wink:

Thats the ones :wink: :lol: :lol:

ah well sorry to depress you but the stop/start tantrum seems to be just down to a couple of blown fuses and a loose fitting ECU relay........so fixed for under a couple of quid****touch wood**** of course :wink: ...............though will keep you in mind if i ever do decide to sell :wink:

should have bought a VR then jim :wink: :-P ..........seriously tho another way might be to buy 4-stud speedlines in a design very similar to the VR ones.....i'm pretty sure they do them :wink:

i'm assuming that you've also checked that you have the heat pads still in place???.....as these are approx £50 per side IIRC.........not much sense getting it all wired up and then finding out that you don't have the "bum" warming facility :wink:

Kev ok the Sport SWB model is the ultimate........but even an early(i prefer digital dash ones tbh 84 A>)10v is serious fun........just with a bit of a fuel thirst but worth it :wink: if i knew i could sweet talk the missus into me getting one again then i would.......and as for that ur-quattro exhuast note..........that to me is sexier than some V8 rumble :wink: ............go on you know you want too :wink: Karmann sorry matey......my storm's a keeper.....though after its little start and stop tantrum this evening :wink: :roll: :roll: :roll: ...........

Looks like i've just joined the ign switch/immobiliser problem club :roll: :cry: ......though ive also got the added problem of the sunroof not working and the spoiler slightly raised :roll: ...........hopefully its just a fuse for the both of them.........though was told by someone well-informed with VW's that there migth be a fuse for the immobilsor too.......anyone have a clue about that???? :? :? :?

not in chrome or a polished finish tho :wink:

well out of them i would rate them in this order 1)Audi ur-quattro 2)Corrado VR6 3)Porsche 924S 4)Porsche 944 turbo 5)Porsche 924lux so far since buying my storm in august 2001 ive never once went for a "test"-drive of anything else to change it with or even thought about it......though an Escort Cosworth would tempt me a bit...........but i'm not going to pay thru the nose for one especially the prices they still can command.......i find my storm a good compromise between decent performance and manageable running costs :wink: The only reason i still don't have an ur is the missus...........she heard about how dear parts can be and were also running costs etc(20 gallon tank that needed refuelling weekly :shock: ......back when a gallon was about £2.50) though fully comp was a reasonable £550 :wink: anyway she wanted me to get shot of ASAP much to my regret :cry: my 944turbo was not the best example on reflection(hence why so lowly rated by me.......went fast enough but had a fair few EXPENSIVE niggles.....tho if you found a good one it would be a different story) whereas my 924S was a 2-owner FPSH ex-Charles Follet demo so was pretty well specced and had been well-looked after the 924 lux was a minter but a wee bit overpriced for the performance or lack of it 125bhp when i had come out of my 150bhp 2.8i XR4i :wink:

me too.........showing our ages a bit too much here tho :oops:

well found some old pics of my previous motors specs were as follows:- 924lux- 2.0 8v 125bhp 1983 Y-reg owned from April93-August93 924S- 2.5 8v 150bhp 1986 C-reg owned from August93-December94 944Turbo- 2.5 8v Turbo 220bhp 1987 D-reg owned from December94-June95 Audi quattro coupe 2.1 10v Turbo 200bhp 1986 D-reg owned from September95-July96

even then thats not infallible......i seem to remember a programme sometime last year saying that if the thieves have time to store it in some sort of "sheilded" container-box the tracker wont be able to communicate with the satelite :cry:

pray you have a friendly MOT tester then.......as i can remember someone from the E-group having his failed on this and requiring a new steering column to pass the MOT :shock:

........too bloody right i am :lol: :-P :-P :lol: :lol: .....................na payment enough for me is knowing my C and number plate is bring happiness into the world :-P :lol: :lol: :lol:

btw bit pedantic here :roll: :wink: ........but the pic of the leather interior......aint storm leather.......only beige or black leather was available on the storm :wink:
