http://www.justinbanks.com/9-Main.html ok ok ok.........not quite the same motor that Magnum PI drove but same make and colour at least :wink: obviously £9k aint exactly peanuts......considering it'll probably swallow that up again with parts/paint/mechanical probs................but how many of you out there have always wanted to say......i OWN a Ferrari :twisted:
-
well if it was an E-30 M3.............you'd be well forgiven :notworthy: :wink:
-
Agree with that one - it is the most corrosive resistant metal known to man. Can you guess what I do for a living (apart from trawling the CF all day)? IIRC they were put in about 66k miles(June last year) and i'm now siting at just over the 70k mile mark
-
yes to the front but doubtful for the back :wink:
-
its the other way about on the valver and G60 IIRC
-
can't say ive noticed anything amiss with them.......car starts on the button/idles sweetly etc
-
courtesy of mr haywire of course :D
-
have a look here http://the-corrado.net/.archive/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5638 :wink:
-
it also has this mentioned in big bold letters VW Golf / Corrado VR6 BBS Alloy Wheel Original 15" BBS Alloy Wheel for VR6 Golf / Corrado Taken From a 1992 VR6 Corrado time for a trip to specsavers mate :wink:
-
they were on some press-photo cars :wink:
-
looks like digifant to me :wink:
-
there's yer answer then :D
-
aye..........all mk3 GTI/GTI16v/VR6's from launch had the plus suspension..........perhaps it was a mk3 driver tarted up to look like a GTI that you've seen.....the only change from 1995(August) was the upgrade to 288mm brakes for the 96 M/Y
-
how do i find out what ive got then???? :confused4: by the looks of it you've NOT got digifant.......so its either Simos or the mystery one :wink: ...........phone up VW customer services or your $tealer and see if they can shed any further light
-
cough........from 1991/92 :wink:
-
i remember someone on the yahoo e-group (mark baker i think) when they were coming to changing their clutch that there were 2 or 3 different versions of the Golf GTI engine for his year......although i would imagine its more to do with the different injection systems..........not 100% sure on this but IIRC the digifant version came first then it changed to the Simos system and then changed again but i'm not sure to what
-
i had a funny clicking noise everytime i depressed my clutch pedal a few years back...........turned out to be the plastic trim above the pedal(lower dash) had warped just a little bit and was catching
-
and indeed it does state that the 2.0 8v and 16v were k-jetronic :roll: :D ......however the 2.0 16v was in fact K-Motronic and the 2.0 8v was whatever system the mk3 Golf GTI used(Simos and/or digifant)
-
i don't think that matters too much as first thought.............mine idles nice and sweet and still runs when i disconnect it too
-
.....and the High Performance Estate iirc was what HPE stood for :wink: and the supercharged VX model dated from 84...........and who all thought VW were first to go back down the supercharger route eh :?: :wink:
-
k-jetronic is mechanical :wink: ............the 8v Golf GTI hasn't been k-jet since 88......thats when they went digi-fant and the mk3 8v is SIMOS and some other system that escapes me from just now
-
think the 8valver he has........doesn't have k-jet :wink:
-
might be worth reading up on the malicous damage part of your policy too
-
looks a mish-mash of merc CLK racer Porker GT and very very little Corrado to me :roll:
-
Star-Performance in Kirkcaldy might be a tad up north for you if you are from the central belt area of Scotland........but they are well worth going to for your Exhaust.........if i was looking for a new exhaust i'd be going for a Magnex as it looks a bit more subtler(and more like a factory fit type) than the Miltek i have on mine......not sure if they tailor for the 16v but IIRC the 16v and VR6 cat pipes are the same size :wink: ........approx £350 fitted too
