BMC CDA All the way !

Alright ok so Ill order - 535 853 307 A (UPPER TRIM MOULDING) 535 845 127 A (RUBBER STRIP) 443 845 635 A (DISTANCE PIECES) Cheers Supercharged, I cant seem to find these clips your on about in Etka? I need to make sure I have everything there for the fitter! Im going to make sure they send someone that doesnt mind being watched also, lol !

VR6Will, This is without a remap right ?

Right I had my screen replaced a couple of years ago now, and it was replaced with an after market Pilkington. It was also fitted with a horrible universal rubber seal, that was hanging off in till I got the cowboy back! The trouble is now I want to put a genuine Sekurit screen, and proper seal back in. I need to Know everything I need to replace to fit the original type back in? Will I just need the outer rubber seal,as the screen comes with the rest shown on ETKA? Can anyone help me on this one?

Would you think that mine would benefit from a custom remap with the many engine mods I will soon have?

Yeah thats a bummer, sorry. Better luck next time mate :) What make are the followers, are they INA ?

tonedef,have you been using VW bolts ? I was going to use GSF bolts and tappets, but genuine exhaust gaskets and stem seals. Do you think I would be alright with GSF ex gaskets, does anyone know what the quality is like?

Dropped my ex manis off at the Phirm yesterday for gasket matching. Should be getting the head back last week of this month, or first week of next. Its about time, as its been off the road a while now! Ill keep you posted and get some pics up as soon as it arrives :)

If you ordered the later style, do you get the senders? Does anyone have the part number for it ? That isnt that bad cosidering that two quality gauges would set you back £100+ !

I can't make my mind up yet which way to go with it, I'm sure enough people have fitted the metal one by now to prove it's OK, I've just screwed up somewhere! I'll see what I find when I get it to bits again. It's a shame really as I'd got all the top end rebuilt and climate control installed while I was not busy with work and now I'm tied up in Kent for the next few days then off to Germany next week. Glad I never promissed my wife when she'd be getting her Corrado back :D Let me know how you get on ? Its going to be another couple of weeks before I get my head back on. Can I ask a silly question , did you use new head bolts? Another thing, when you took the head off, how many spring dowels did you find on the block/head? Mine only had one and Im sure you would benefit more with two to align the head, no ? Im just wondering if theres a possibility it could have fallen into the block or something !! Someone please put my mind at rest on this one!

This is worrying me a bit now! I think Im still going to go with the metal gasket though. My head has had a full rebuild and skimmed so fingers crossed!

I live in Hove, East Sussex. Looks good, Im probably going to go !

Whats the name of the event? eatthis,

Why is there a 1/4 event happening at the end of jan then ?

Yeah I do agree, there isnt anything wrong with the standard one. It was just a thought I had when thinking about a respray and possible FC with IC as steve_16v, said. I think it would look much better in a nice metalic colour with different fogs and idicators, as those are to dark.

Ive been trying to dicide whether or not I like this bumper. What do you guys reckon? I think it actually uses mk3 fogs and indicators.

Yeah I agree, it was just a thought.

Just saw this on the ARZ site and was wondering if it was any good, as Ive been put off by comments about premature big end wear when using lightened pulleys? http://corradoteilede.h765700.serverkom ... ngine.html

I really like these to ,as Ive always wanted them to bring out angels with black backs! I'm liking the smoked rear lights as well. Thats the sort of smoke I was after when I brought my FKs!

Yes replace them. I did when I fitted my alloy fly.

The person doing the flow work is called Len that runs The Cylinder Head Shop in the link I posted. He is based in southern Ireland now. If you look at the link you will see that he has got all the top machines, and works to the tightest of tolerances! No more lapping paste!

Does it look any worse than mine, as Im not touching mine before I put my rebuilt head back on?

Right Ive ordered a set off exhaust valves o.e. I spoke to the guy today and he has managed to bore out the old guides to fit these liners - http://www.cylinderheadshop.co.uk/K-line.html So the jobs costing me £907 plus the price of the valves. If you think about it, its £480 for the flow work and the rest of the work needed to be done anyway! When I told him my concern of the flow cost he assured me that it would be to a higher standard than other places that would just clean the ports out and slap a gas flowed badge on it! He is also carrying out more flow work to the lower inlet mani than had already been done by Micheal Herman when it was port matched. He said there was still more to be gained from it. Im hopeing that with all the mods brought together and meshed with a quality remap from Vince will produce a pleasing result?

Cheers for the comments guys, and I understand what your saying, but still going ahead with it! I think he was explaining to me that the torque would come in alot sooner and stressed that i would need a re map straight away! I guess only the rollers will tell guys?

I phoned VW today and the exhaust valves are only £20.49 inc, so that's not bad at all. And with my Dad working at Audi I get genuine parts discounted which is even better! I'm just a bit concerned with how much he is charging me for the work! £ 476 ) For a rebuild with all new valve liners, five angled inlet and three angled exhaust. £608 ) As above but with new special guides if the old ones cant be bored. £480 ) The flow work to the lower inlet mani and head.
