And my clutch at 85k :shock: :lol: [web]http://the-corrado.net/.archive/forum/download.php?id=16884[/web]

I've got it safely tucked away :lol: I made a pretty decent replica badge using the original as a template, but I just havent got around to finishing it off (i.e. painting it black + red)

Argh my brain's been useless lately - I'll send you the list tonight/tomorrow afternoon, I Promise! :) (maybe pm me just to make sure :wink:)

I had my clutch + flywheel replaced last week, all proper stuff from the $tealers. The clutch kit has a pressure plate with LUK on it and the clutch plate has SACHS on it. Feels fine so far, but I'm only a week in. Fingers crossed it'll be fine.. :wink:

Yeah I'm glad I've now got the MK4 tensioner items. If it wasnt for me breaking the clutch, I'd have left the chains for another 20/30k miles! :lol: The engine was totally silent, so I had no reason to think the tensioner was fooked (well, apart from all the warnings on here saying they can we bad at around 85k miles :wink:) And the flywheel + clutch - well my mechanic had never seen anything like it :lol: All because of the carpet mat getting jammed in my pedals :oops: I'm amazed I could actually get it home after that little incident. God bless VW :wink: Next up, I've got a set of speedlines with fresh Toyos to fit on the car. Although I am kinda liking the solitudes now the car is lowered

Yeah, I've got a list of parts at home so I'll post em tonight :) Seems like my wallet is constantly taking a battering :( Hopefully the spiralling costs will level out soon. I thought I might as well get everything out the way in one go, seeing as I'm intending to keep the car for good :D You can get a paint job for less than £3k, but I knew the quality of the work, so was prepared to pay it. Incidently, the sprayer shut up shop about a month after I got it painted. He had a very quiet spell since XMas..

Jesus :shock: Poor guy...

:D The subtitle doesnt show if you've used the view latest posts function (which I'm guessing is what most of us use :wink:)

No idea, one of the mechanics at my garage took it to be done after they fitted my coilovers today

:?

Finally got it lowered on Konig Silverline X's, had new chains + tensioners fitted (Mk4 items), plus a new clutch, flywheel, brakes and alignment. All fitted for under £500! :shock: :lol: I like the ride height now, but its a little bit too low for driving around london. The car is lowered 5cm allround, I havent adjusted the suspension at all yet, this is using the default konig factory settings If I leave it like this, I'm gonna damage my sump on a speed hump.. :cry: Might have to settle for 35mm instead. The ride feels great, not much different to the standard shocks + springs, much to my amazement! Good thing I changed the chains + tensioners, take a look at the top tensioner - this is at 85k miles. There was no death rattle, but seeing as I needed to get the clutch done, I may as well do the chains too (good thing I did) So, why did I need to change my clutch at 85k miles? Take a look at how much friction material is left on the clutch plate - zero!! :shock: :shock: :shock: I had an incident with a carpet mat at high speed which kinda made all this work neccessary.. :roll: :oops: Tip: Make sure your mats dont move around about while you're on a motorway overtaking someone. I've velcro'd 'em down now, so they aint going anywhere! And the flywheel. Hmm, the outer toothed part isnt supposed to come away like this..

Angel eyes? :lol:

£300!! Supercharged too :shock: How did you manage that, did you limit your annual mileage or something? :? Or maybe you're of a certain age :lol:

Hmm just had a look on the Parkers website and they say the 328i does 0-60 in about 7.1 or 7.5 secs so maybe I do stand a chance :D

Hmm.. Is the 328i different to the 328i Sport? Thats what my mate has. Power figures similar to the VR6, 190bhp or there abouts, 0-60 in 6 and a bit secs I'll have to give my mate a race and report back :wink:

328i is very quick - I know someone who has one. Acceleration similar to the VR6, but I havent gone head to head with him to see how they'd perform off the lights

Approx $1050 with the current exchange rate, give or take $50.

£565 in the recent group buy 8)

Yep

Are they Silverline X? I've got a set just like that, waiting to be fitted. I've no idea about the instuctions either, mine are all in german :roll:

So, where does the medkit live on these models?

Very nice 8)

Ah, carpy25 found the numbers for you I paste the pics by pressing the "Print Screen" button on my keyboard to take a screenshot. Then open photoshop, paste the clipboard screenshot, and crop the pic, save as a gif :)

Part 12 on pic 4 is #056 121 113 D Doesnt say it's for aircon models only though, so I guess it's generic. The part number may have changed as my etka is a couple of years old :wink: As for the other part, howzat:

I dunno why the last 2 pics arent showing :?
