junkie

Well after reading the thread over and reminicing i am now truly sad, been ok all night, had a couple of drown my sorrow beers and its hitting home whats actually to come now :( It seems my plan was initially right all along but the timing was all wrong, absolutely way off it seems.

Not seen any S5's on the road but agree the A5 is, well :pukeright: :pukeright: :pukeright: :pukeright: :pukeright:

Im saying the 1st pic at wide wheels is pic 1 so count down from there.

Pics 4 - 5 - 9 dude for the calendar

Well its all an as and when at the moment, hopefully start to gather bits and bobs for now until after my holidays in september then get stuck into alot of cold winter nights, depending how much i need more funds i may also have to sell the Recaro leathers :( Im estimating 4k at the moment to get to 400bhp if not ever so slightly more power, thats now the goal anyhow, decided against 4wd too..

Cheers guys, its a shame as i do love it still but greater things will come im sure. Its only dead in the sense that the turbo and exhaust manifold are foobared but the engine itself is spot on.

Hahahaha good man, have a read of mine, not quite as bad as yours but still were in the same boat dude.

The new standard issue suit 0605_gay_navy_400x329.jpg[/attachment:30om7p0b]

Well after getting the head off and stripping it down of its 2 manifolds and finding the exhaust manifold had cracked and snapped where it bolts to the head on 1 of the lugs, and my exhaust housing on the turbo wastegate has also cracked i have now decided its finally time to put the 8vT to rest, she has served me very well over the last few years, we have had both our ups and downs too over the said few years but the fun along the way has been immense and far outweighs the lows that have happened. So the new chapter begins...............to be continued.............. At some point when i find the time to strip out the block and box i will have for sale my :- 1900cc (1870), forged JE 83mm pistons, 20v/16v 144mm rods, standard crank, all lightened and balanced Big Valve head, flowed/ported & polished, Piper 285 cam R.I.P

I can confirm the Irwins are a must bought a set last week and they pulled the bolt out instantly after trying for 2 hours, bought after somebody on here recommended me to them.

I would say mine handles brilliantly on 17's but i laso cant compare it to 15's as i have never driven a corrado with 15's on, drove 3 and all had 17's :lol:

We should have a corrado forum top trumps

Mine is on 17 x 7.5 x 215 et 35 G60 lowered approx 50mmish never measured

Safe work dude :D see you when you resurface

I get bored of saying that

Yea they are all pikeys from doncaster way :lol: :lol: :lol:

There you go then you do actually learn something new everyday :D cheers for clearing it up peeps, i was all confused then for a minute. So why did they make 6 ltd editions or however many really early on then, i honestly thought and i dont know why there were the last of the line as there are so few made.

I thought the campaigns were the last of the line so they would be late spec but on that it has early heater slider controls?

Just got the head off now and i am wondering why nobody has tried to stop me doing all this yet??? :shrug: I think it must have been running quite rich for quite a good long while now, there is carbon build up on the valves and around the valve port chamber thing that sits above the pistons, assume thats not normal??? Will upload some pics tomorrow now when its lighter.

Cant help on the movement but they should have a 3 year warranty

A few on my phone but will upload tomorrow, all the ancillaries are off so to speak.

Give me chance dude, only just got home from Meadowhall, need to time up the engine, take off the cambelt and then it can come off hopefully tomorrow.

1st 1 but you ned the car centred more, the 1st because it is brighter than the others.

Here is the set i got Laser funky socket set thingy majiggy Quite an interesting collection of bits i never knew existed and will prob never ever use :lol:

Went to Halfrauds and got the Laser set your on about coolrado as you say £29 :D
