  1. I would have them, i fancy changing my suspension for the 7th time :lol: but i'm spending so much on an engine and also thinking of getting those carbon wings/bonnet soon. Although i could sell my Koni/HR setup i spose.
  2. I'd have to get 2x 5l in that case. So about £110. I must of bought quite a few of them vw g13's over the years. Can't remember what they cost?
  3. They do say it's flammable at extreme temps. Think it was about 650c if poured onto an exhaust manifold. But they also mention the glycol in coolant does the same and the water can quickly vaporise leaving the glycol behind. I too am unsure about it. Knowing how many coolant leaks I've had over the years. But then with less pressure, no corrosion and a fresh engibe build I'm hoping things won't leak (if that's possible)
  4. Nice. Am itching to get on with mine. Got all sorts of questions to ask people. Are those arp studs? I've been reading varying opinions and instructions about whether you need to heat cycle the engine and then re torque them or not. Means taking the Inlet etc all of again. But some say with the arp assembly lube you don't need to. The more I type the more I think I will re torque them. :lol:
  5. If you do buy a hub from VW, they come with the rotor i think. Thats how i ended up with a spare.
  6. Oops, just read things properly and seen what you have, You do need some terminals and probably don't need that tool. Not sure on what terminals they are.
  7. What sort of condition is the fuel rail, might be interested in that, not the injectors though.
  8. http://www.vehicle-wiring-products.eu/VWP-onlinestore/terminalsnonins/mouldingterms.php Its the terminal extraction tools, really handy to have, before i knew about them i was hacking plugs apart.
  9. They usually come blank, but you can get a tool to push each wire out with its connector. Will find the link (if i can)
  10. Am sure i've got a rotor spare, its used but good condition iirc I will try and have a look tomorrow.
  11. Apparently you never have to change this stuff. Although am sure over the years you must lose some of it if something does break in the cooling system. But then with the low pressure I can see there being less chance of a hose popping off or coolant getting forced out of somewhere. After taking my old engine apart you could see where coolant had been slowly eating away the edge of the channels in the head, which in turn leads to head gasket failure. Again I could see there being less of that going on.
  12. Some good jay Leno videos on youtube. Says he has used it for 16yrs. I am tempted to try it. At least I can give since feedback. Can't see it ending in total engine destruction.
  13. Didn't know that. I must of been thinking of oil at 5.5ltr for some reason.
  14. I think one of the coolant sensors can do this, blue one maybe.
  15. http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/motorsport/coolant-additives/evans-power-cool-180-waterless-engine-coolant 2l = £25 5l= £54
  16. Will cost about £70 I worked out, as I'd buy a bit extra for top ups. "I'm off to lunch for some foodless food" ^^^^Mcdonalds i assume :lol:
  17. Apparently it won't make the engine run cooler, but the coolant is better if you reach high temps, you also get no or very low pressure. Saw a thread on a cobra owners club and people worrying about it being flammable, which is a little concerning, although the more i read on that the less i worried. Will be asking Vince@ Stealth about it when i pick my bottom end up. I wonder if he has come across anyone running it.
  18. Think we might of discussed it on here before, but is anyone using it yet? Am having a new engine soon and thought while car is apart it will be a good time to drain everything and try out the waterless coolant (i won't need to buy the flush treatment first) Can't see any negative sides to it, apart from more expensive. Corrado seems an ideal car for it.
  19. Don't think so, am sure Matt would of come back by now. Will get it sent asap. Thanks.
