Phil K's old C and others - new German Coupe!
gradeAfailure replied to Phil K's topic in Members Gallery
whatever dude, they just look better, so you should keep them! :lol: -
Relays should click when they activate... :)
-
just do both and change them depending on your mood! if you're shelling out on a respray, then it's not exactly much more is it...? ;)
-
good work Gav!
-
yup, i say orange as well!

corrado vr6 vs astra gte 16v vs calibra turbo
gradeAfailure replied to spike16vgte's topic in General Car Chat
just go drive a good (and by good, i mean not a tired one with knackered suspension bushes) VR on some decent b-roads, open the throttle wide until you hit the redline (with the window open of course)... calibra? what calibra...? ;) -
225/45-17 is waaaay too big i'm afraid mate... close, but no cigar... ;)
-
heheh, had a bit of a busy weekend, so it's still in primer - but i did actually manage to locate a late-spec aqua blue passenger wing from a breakers anyway so now i don't need to finish it off! though i think i will, just for the practice... sometime this week, if i get time... :)

i stand corrected! always thought that chargecoolers were better, but obviously not... you learn something new every day!
-
i remember revs or max power doing a std intercooler/uprated intercooler/charge cooler test on a escort rs turbo aaaages ago - they found that the chargecooler dropped the inlet temps by far far more than the uprated intercooler... it's just whether you want the hassle of fitting a rad, reservoir and pump for the chargecooler water system...
-
Mate that really sucks, i can only imagine how you feel... :(
-
you may laugh, but if i didn't spend all my time watching american hotrod/overhaulin/rags to riches/etc, then i wouldn't have even considered having a go at it! it's all your fault... ;)
-
shilakadaddy and bally have both had these wheels on theirs - check their Members Gallery threads for pics... :)
-
actually, the speedo doesn't sit against its stop - if you have never taken the needle off before, you can actually lift the needle over the stop and it will rotate a few more degrees anti-clockwise before it stops, hence the error when you put it back on... ;)
-
aye, take the needle off, put it back on 5mph further round! mine over-reads by exactly 5mph all the way round (checked using a Road Angel), so that's what i plan to do!
-
reckon you might be the only one Nik! fastest raddo girl on the forum...?

The "what I did to my Corrado today" thread...
gradeAfailure replied to Jim's topic in General Car Chat
Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice... :) Today I mostly cleaned Ruby ready for Jim... -
chippys, sparkys and plumbers - that's who's earning the money these days then...! Good luck with the conversion though, sounds like it'll be a beast...
-
Std valver discs are 256mm, just get the calipers and carriers off a G60, plus a set of new G60 280mm discs and pads... Job done!
-
I'll be honest mate, I don't really know what I'm doing but seeing as the wing's fubar'd anyway i thought why not...!
-
Indeed, I shall be there - I'm interested to see how it comes out too...!
-
21 and you have a Storm, enough money for a 3.1 rebuild, and a MK3 runabout as well...?! Wtf do you do for a living...?! :lol:
-
Utterly lush mate, very nice work indeed... :thumbleft:
-
Probably - and if I was doing it properly I would have! This is just a temporary stopgap really, so as long as it looks better than it did before I started then I'm happy... :) All in good time... ;)
