  1. tempted by the jammie dodger :! :lol: although i'm quite partial to a wagon wheel
  2. so people do 150mph in a car with a book speed of 137mph? should my VR6 see 160mph+ then? :lol:
  3. :lol: but i'll be sitting on the floor then, tis already low enough
  4. wow :! i have a mint heated electric set of leather recaros :!
  5. i know this has been asked before (i did a search) while searching i found a thread where a bloke had made a corrado wallpaper using some standard looking C's, 4 of them i think. anyway it said "post edited see frontpage/portal for the link" i can't see any, and not seen this pic yet, can anyone help?
  6. i didn't take the thermo housing apart, but am sure he would of checked for cracks, also i can't see it leaking from there any more i really hope its not Head gasket :( heater matrix has already been changed once as it broke. what other signs should i look out for to see if its head gasket?
  7. Me again :lol: i was losing coolant the other week and it appeared to be wet around the thermostat housing (black plastic thing) so that was taken off and taken apart, and the o-rings replaced inside. but the car still seems to be losing coolant, can't see anywhere else that is wet, and no puddles underneath car. its not a massive amount, but was 4" below the minimum line on header tank this morning, drives ok, and doesn't run hot either. the garage are going to do a pressure test on weds night, where would be the likely areas to look. thanks
  8. is that site still updated? i thought someone said they don't sell em, why would people charge £30 for one on ebay if they £5.50 new?
  9. really, i've not been able to find a front one for reasonable money, i already got a spare rear one
  10. i've been trying to get one after a pidgeon commited suicide trying to steal mine, it suceeded tho
  11. my VR is missing the front badge, i know they hard to get hold of, so was thinking of trying to fix a rear one to the front grill. anyone done this before?
  12. anyone had probs with cracking after fitting new handles like that? How long did they last?
  13. http://www.circuitpro.co.uk/injectionTV ... ar_WMV.wmv pretty impressive video 8)
  14. are they the golf gti rims? i'm not a fan, too wild
  15. thats totally awful :! why? why? why? do people not have eyes these days?
  16. love the rims, they just like a set i use to have what make are they, is a few different makes of the same design, a porsche copy originally isn't it?
  17. Her brother owns a Corrado VR6, am sure its a VR anyway. Wonder if he ever used this site?
  18. i want to get rid of the orange ones, one has nearly fallen off anyway. anyone got pics of different ones that are availiable? also which are the best to buy, don't want any cheapo crap on it
  19. do i make a vertical cut along the length of the rail?
  20. :lol: looks quite good in certain cars, although it can look like the fur off a nodding dog sometimes
  21. i'll be taking to the garage next week, so will find out what it is, and i can let you all know :! :lol: am sure its a thermostat housing, thats what a mate has said, someone else said an O-ring?
  22. "Electronic Limited Slip Differential (through ABS sensors) below 15mph" read this and forgive my dumbness but what does it do? the reason i ask is that i noticed the lead on top of brake fluid thingy is unplugged. asked the previous owner why and he said ABS light kept coming on even tho fluid was fine? so he disconnected the plug/lead now i'm not sure if my ABS works, i guess i just need to slam brakes on? What should the diff do? as i have trouble with wheelspin in the wet when trying to pull away quickly
