I often struggle to find anything in the Bentley.. wish it had a proper A-Z index!

For all you model Collectors out there.

I pre-ordered one on their site, and mine turned up fine. They responded to a payment query of mine within 24h -
I don't believe that, I remember hearing about this years ago. Too many unroadworthy cars out there for them to leave it for 2 years between tests!

Must be a sh!tter if he's been swearing at it for that long :lol:

Awesome, love it :) -
Don't suppose there's a graph for the sport kit too? :) Also - would the sport kit + 3.68 be nice on the motorway, i.e. would 6th gear be at 'comfortable' rpm @ 70mph?

I don't think it's true footage of his driving in the simulator, someone has obviously spliced it together with some footage from a PS3 game -

Damn, wish I'd gone for a 6-speed box instead of a 3.68 FD, driving on the motorway in 5th gear give me a headache :)

I bought mine from the States, around £50 delivered :) (..that was about 7 or 8 years ago though)

Stupid question - you sure the stalk is not in the 'intermittant wipe' position?
-
If you've fitted those aero wipers which go on to standard wiper arms, then you probably won't see any improvement. The lupo wiper arms and blades seem to push down a lot better. You could try doing what dalhalvaig mentions, worth a try :)

This sounds familiar.. Sounds like the bus lane shown in 'Parking Mad', which was on the BBC a few weeks back http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01pvbyr Look it up on google, lots of people angry about it http://notomob.co.uk/discussions/index.php?topic=2410.0 http://forums.digitalspy.co.uk/showthread.php?t=1781327

The main problem is see is buying new bits of trim... a lot of it is obsolete now. Take the rubber that goes around the door windows, you can't exactly remove them from an existing Corrado without ruining them
-
Slightly cheaper: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/17-BBS-RS-ALLOY-WHEELS-EURO-STYLE-MESH-VW-GOLF-MK3-VR6-GTI-BORA-AUDI-A1-POLO-/140820900435 I've been thinking of these for some time.. :)

Nice, look forward to seeing more pics :thumbleft:
-
Oh, maybe they still are - but any Corrado specific part (beginning with part number '535') is likely to vanish
-
Glad I stocked up on a pair of roof trims (..and other bits) before they were made obsolete :) bloody VW...
-
I've always wondered.. is it possible to just change the calipers & carriers to the 288 type, but keep the 280 discs? Makes no difference to me anymore, as I'm on 288's :)
-
Yeah, all done @ Stealth. Car now has 210bhp, 200lbft, and it used to have 200/190. Don't get me wrong, it did feel quicker when I went to collect it. I think I've gotten to used to my 6 speed Mk4 anni, which I'm sure is putting out a lot more than the factory 180bhp... It's very rapid, and I was kinda hoping the cams/3.68 would help the VR6 feel similar
-
Lupo wipers have got to be the best mod, in terms of £$£$ versus benefit
-
I dunno why everyone raves about the 263's, I've had them fitted, along with a 3.68 final drive, and it's ok, but in retrospect I think it was a bit of a waste of money. The car's a bit quicker, but maybe I was expecting more :)
-
Hmm might have to try this out myself :) Any way of mounting them without having screw holes in the front?
