Not had any updates for a while, i got corrado out of the garage over the weekend, i've not used it since about october time. It still works, took a few times to start and didn't idle but after a quick spin it was back to how i left it. Got loads to do to it now, will be going back into garage i think :lol:

could you use some sort of relay box? i notice my aircon ones are mounted in something like this, i'm not 100% sure if that the right thing. i have two uprated looms at home, but been worried about fitting them so they have just sat there, £140 worth :lol:

can anyone confirm that the tool required for KW suspension is different size. am 90% sure i got that skyespickavan one and it worked with standard suspension but have some memory of it not fitting the KW's?

i've found it looks great and took me about 20seconds to get used to. 100% an improvement. my only trouble is this running slow thing, but cannot figure out why, am now thinking its my laptop and something on corrado forum it doesn't like

its hard to tell as its not all the time it happens, just randomally does it, will try using that link for a while

yeah, its always got G12++++++++++++++ in it. i had started to strip the front end, but decided i want to drive it once more before i fit the steering rack and redo the waxoyl in engine bay. so i put it back together over weekend, but didn't dare start it

My corrado has sat in the garage since about october time, its not been started since, the battery went flat so i removed that and have been charging it. Its been there through all that really cold weather we had. Should i just put battery back in and attempt to turn it over or should there be anything else i check out 1st? just don't wanna break it

i'm still having problems with the forum running slow sometimes, not all the time, but i've just waited 5mins after clicking to view the page 2 of a thread, while a plain white screen shows and the loading sign churns away. I end up having to close internet explorer and coming back and that doesn't always work. I don't think this is due to this latest update, but something that happened a while back (someone else mentioned same problems) its a shame really as i find myself hardly coming here now as i'm a bit sick of it. (sorry for being the moany git again, but something is deffo wrong here, i don't get it anywhere else)

i posted a reply to this with photos and stuff, but its not worked, said that a mod has to approve my post.

i remember the videos of this being thrashed around some farmers field gravel track with its fresh paint :! came back with the brakes steaming. Drive it like you stole it came to mind

the noble m12 is it?, using mondeo parts? (rear lights & engines) some lotus cars have vauxhall (gm) parts like interior switches etc Newest robin reliant has mk1 vauxhall corsa headlights

i just wanted to say... awhoopbamboo..

Your better off speeding/car testing on B-roads these days, not worth risking it on the large open 3 lane roads with no pedestrians, central barriers stopping oncoming traffic and clear views of the road ahead. deffo keeping to the B-roads

i'll give you £30

those metal clips that clamp the hose are what caused my fuel leak, they had pretty much rusted away to nothing

excellent, i have what i think is a broken one in the car at the moment and going to try and dismantle it

wow, what a thread, amazing stuff :D have just decided i want to take my subframe off now

Love the word "hoiked" :lol: if you like working on others peoples, then mine isn't too far away :norty:

do they still sell late headlight lenses? when i last got one the chap was telling me there wasn't many left

totally agree. was lucky enough to see this car in the flesh and it really gave me a new definition of a clean car :salute:

it still says speedline on that wheel, or am i confused, is votex the style and speedline the maker?

my diagram says no 21 is cigarette lighter, and no. 22 is the radio, but also serves an alarm system control module and the alarm switch for the bonnet

Just looking through my manual about the blue/white wire and its says "as of 1991 the Vehicle speed sensor (VSS) -G54 circuit is supplied to radio connector via a blue/white wire." "to avoid problems in engine management system DO NOT splice any wires into this circuit or connect it to any component (for example, aftermarket radios)"

this is what mine does when the battery goes flat.

Didn't mic_vr fit some steelies off a modern VW beetle to his? they would make good winter wheels
