A20 LEE

Sorry ToffeeRado, it was Simon Sweetlands that inspired me to go for it. Was going to do it in time anyway but you go to a show, get inspired, next thing you know you've got a gearbox sat in the kitchen :roll: Pretty sure i've got a pic somewhere of chrome A6 handles. Not sure if they were on a C, but i'll have a dig around in my pictures.

very much doubt that the Veyron would set the fastest lap anyway due to the massive power of the W16T. Your bound to be on boost in one of the corners and make a ham fist of it.

i'll have one too if you can find a stainless one.

good call, last one till may :!: :(

Madness, but so is this i guess. Progress on my bellhousing. :roll: :lol:

Probably help if we post up the names of all the steering wheel manufactures names, can bash them into google and see whats out there. Theres another premium brand one too which used to be in direct competition with Momo which i can't remember. Italian firm, navilotti or something like that?? Momo Isotta Mountney BBS Raid Sparco

VDO Boost and Oil Pressure guages :D

:oops: :lol:

There ton's of stuff missing from the PVW feature, should probably post up pics of some of the details such as the filler flap, seat belt runners, centre consule, sills, smooth boot shuts, etc. The embossed corrado logo has been on the rear seat since 2000. The old front seats used to have the logo on them too but the new recaros don't because the seat where only trimmed about 9hrs before the car's first show with its new look so no time to get it done. Know what you mean about the manifold, the top of the runner is bloody hard to get at. Done it twice now, on my current manifold and my original which i've been meaning to chrome and sell on for ages. Can't believe after doing another C, your madder than me :lol:

Did look at tanks in frosts catalogue :oops: There nickel plating kits and cost about £400. There OK for screw and bolts but not good enough for major parts. A decent set of secondhand tanks for proper chrome plating costs £7k, Phil at Almatt recently sold his :roll: Bet he's regreting it now that chroming wheels is becoming very popular.

Bump, want to order one in jan if you can still get them.

I rate the Momo Corse as the best steering wheel ever. Very thick rimmed, if they did a version with a padded centre I'd buy another today.

charger may cost £150ish.

currently got a 350mm Momo Runner on mine and i'd love something about 300-320mm. Be nice to see pics what other people have got.

both :lol: Think its time to dig out my favourite christmas DVD. National Lampoons Christmas Vacation :D

so....good time to polish up the charger :wink:

same pressures as me, tho' i'm on 35 sidewalls.

nice showcar. It looks stunning in PVW and at E38 last year where it placed 3rd. The fuel filler was brillant behind the rear light, till big Gordy started messing with it and nearly broke the light off :lol:

Got them already Russ, only ones i haven't got yet are the anti-roll bar bushes.

Not sure yet, the chromers i use only tell me the price once its done as my stuff tends to be new to them. My chrome washer bottle and PAS bottle cost £70 each. I'd guess a gearbox and bellhousing would be around £500, hence why i can't get everything done at once and i refuse to compromise on my goal so the car will just take time to build. 6 years so far, makes me realise the amazing amount of work that went into premiers chrome car. Theres no way they did all the prep on that car. Must have shipped out all the parts for polishing.

not sure, really need to get the box to Jeff for the rebuild and diff fitting but need the subframe done so i can get wishbones and eibach bars all mounted up with the bushes fitted as a sub-assembly. Can't afford to get gearbox and subframe chromed in the same month. Hmm probably do the gearbox first, if i get it to the chromers in early Jan should get it back end of Jan or early Feb. Thanks, the avatar turned out much better than i expected. Think theres room for improvement on the sig yet. Here's another one i've done, not sure if its better or worse. Having problems with my BT Broadband, keep loosing the DSL signal at 2pm and then nothing till the next day :mad: . So spent some time messing with sig's.

stanbates, Are you using the VR6 gearbox or the 24V?

maybe a pipe holder and storage for the slippers? :lol:

I always buy extra parts so i don't have to take my car off the road. Some i get secondhand but mostly new as the car is 13years old. Not always possible due to the expense but a brand new radiator cross member is a must IMO. Just need a bodyshell, block and cylinder head and i've got another complete C in parts!! Going to sell alot of stuff off next year to pay for the surprise unbudgeted parts the turbo conversion will throw up. Nice to know i'm not on my own with this kind of work, Toffee!! :D

C is meant to be a sports coupe, armrests. Really. :roll: :lol:
