Loud rattling from back of car (solved: loose brake shield)
Jim Bowen replied to Serial's topic in Drivetrain
mine does this too, and have just replaced all suspension so not that, i did find rear seats wobble about a bit but something else seems loose too, tbh i'm sick of mycorrado now :( -
i did have them done a while ago, but was by a garage and not sure how good the parts were, so could be buggered i spose, its a noise i've heard in other peoples cars before and has only just started on mine, for the 1st bit of my journey, seems to go away
-
are they expensive? or a hard job? i'd still like to read up on the PAS system. spoke to stealth and they say the best thing to do is take it to them, so i guess at some point i will, and that if i find PAS too light they can change the bottom pulley. starting to find something sounds a bit knocky/juddery over lots of small bumps/holes. Got me thinking would the driveshafts have any effect on the wheels?
-
almost rolled it :shock:
-
from driving car a bit more, i've found that it doesn't seem like "play" in the steering, but the steering feels too light and very sensitive it may be the car is meant to be like that, but its very unsettling not being able to feel the wheels under stress/load as you turn if you understand what i mean? am sure its not how it should be. am getting touch with a local chap who has a 1996 storm with similar milage, maybe getting him to drive mine etc, and get his opinon

Checking of tyre pressure, oil and coolant.
Jim Bowen replied to Bojmobile's topic in General Car Chat
how can people use no oil at all? thats unfair :lol: -
fab stuff, at least there's some kinda order now and not 15 pages of "i want" :lol:

Checking of tyre pressure, oil and coolant.
Jim Bowen replied to Bojmobile's topic in General Car Chat
everyweek for oil and coolant and tyres probably every too, car uses quite a bit of oil so daren't risk letting it go dry is there an oil warning light? and of what does it warn? -
do you happen to know the number for the bits on the gsf site, there seems to be loads of choices, what are the brembo ones?
-
i like the breifcase look interior, goes with my driving gloves :lol:
-
not really, i've spent nearly £8k on mine and had it a year, the guy at work, same age as me got a CTR for not much more money at the same kinda time. we both admire each others cars, and each take the mick out of certain points, me calling his cheap and tinny, him calling mine old and dated on paper they have v.similar stats, both are normally aspirated, same kinda insurance
-
would you be a fan of this too? i like them for some odd reason :lol:
-
what is the difference, as everything i've bought so far has been from vw dealers and its cost a small fortune. do people buy stuff from GSF, i always tend not to get the cheap and cheerful option. for example i need discs and pads for my 288mm upgrade, and they sell the hoses i need, would the discs and pads from them be much different to the vw ones?
-
can't remember what i said previously, but have been out in my mates again, and yes it is quick/fun, but its very noisy/buzzy and doesn't feel too well made. i'd take one for the track or a weekend toy over a rado, but for driving everyday, comfort & effortless driving it has to be the rado. depends on the corrado as to which is the better car, i know my pal is jealous of all the leather, electrics, aircon, sunroof, heated seats etc, its much more than a 190bhp engine
-
ill put some pics up before i start, don't wanna bugger anything up :lol:
-
got my calipers lastnight, i'll get a pic of them, as i'm not sure where to start cleaning them up. can i dunk them in water, is there anything i need to protect, they look alot better than i thought
-
have you had a chance to get the pics yet? :lol:
-
thats awesome :D i love them, was a fab one on pistonheads a while ago
-
and is that a gt500 behind the porsche :D
-
is that a F430 or a 360?
-
i hope thats a cloud on the windscreen and not the heater matrix blowing up!! :lol: :lol: :lol:
-
thats looks really well, is it dragon green then? i really like them that clean and standard
-
any pics of the whole car etc? i wanna see it now :lol:
-
nice pics :D i should drag myself along to one of these again, still remember seeing the corrado and xj220 at the car show years ago. was only small :lol: zonda looks very nice from the front pic, i just hate the rear, its like they ran out of ideas after doing the front end/cockpit area :(
