  1. Valid point Dox. Tyre size is worth checking :) As for your wheels they should be fine if 7.5" & et 32. Std are 7.5" & et 33 if I remember right. Mine are 8" & et 35 so would sit a little wider than yours and I have no problems aside from a slight catch when really leaning on the tyres on track. They never catch on the road.
  2. what width are the wheels out of interest mate? I am guessing 7.5"
  3. Is one of your struts shot maybe? If they have been used with std springs for years then had shorter springs offered up your strut(s) may be giving up the ghost. 17" wheels are fine on a corrado. Before doing anything else id get the car off the ground and have a good look at your struts. As for top mounts i'm pretty sure there is no adjustment here.
  4. I agree in principle. But this car aint worth £5k in my eyes..... hopefully they will appreciate, that would be great for us all.
  5. be great for us if it did go for that.... but really it should not
  6. You should be fine with quantum 10w/40 by the sounds of it mate. You could fit an additional oil cooler too if you have concerns.
  7. I have a late one off my storm if you still need one. £40 shipped
  8. Viscosity is determined by the w (wt or weight is used by single grade oils) number not by the type ie mineral, semi or synthetic. Multigrade oils have labels like "10w/40" or "20w/50". Their thickness changes with temperature, but they change the opposite way from single grade oils. A 10w-40 motor oil behaves like a 10 wt oil when cold and behaves like a 40 wt oil when hot. So it's thinner when cold and thicker when hot..... Which is nice. mineral, semi and synth are all made from refined crude oil. Synth is then chemically altered to adjust its makeup and suit the specification it was designed for. Semi is a blend of both again to suit the requirement of application. Fully synth oils are designed to be more stable, take more of a beating and perform better all round. Ie from cold and when hot. So..... you pay your money you take your choice. Quantum 10w/40 (semi)as said above is a great oil, used by VW for our cars and is chirpy cheap. I used it for years in my vr before I went fi. I now use 10w/50 (synth) in my vrt which is reducing temp variation during hot runs and I believe is helping the engine run quieter on start up, it really is quiet now. The swap has caused no leaks aside from the bit I spilled when filling up :lol: Is your car modded? How hot does the oil get when you are on a jolly?
  9. Oh maclaren f1, good investment? Should have snapped a few up :lol: Very good to see the rado make it into this article with a bright looking future.
  10. Hhhmmmm I'm not sure you will fit in...... There are a lot of immature members on here you see :lol: Only kidding, there is a good mix of ages, cars and abilities on here so welcome along.
  11. How much are these fetching these days?
  12. Tidy! I have never had any joy with those connectors myself. is there a knack to it?
  13. Bump for a very nice wheel. Come and get it :D
  14. If anyone wants boss and wheel I'll do both for £100 shipped.
  15. :lol: I'm surprised the camera picked it up!!
