Has the air ducts behind the alpine screen been blocked off - i wonder if it could get cooked a bit there!

What a bargin - that was only a wet-dream price and buy when i was looking around for my C

Mystic Blue Pearl Effect (Black leather) Classic Green Pearl (Beige leather) Be a little careful when buying a storm, most are genuine, but there are a few fakes out there. I looked at few storms, but settled on a moonlight blue vr6 (which had the black leathers as an option when bought new). But as the others said - main difference is the badges and having a limited edition (will always raise the premium). I personally love the mystic blue, the only pet hate i have is the internal storm badge on the gear stick (looks a bit to toy like) - thats on my HO though, not wanting to start a religous war :)

Guys - I am really serious about dropping my car - it looks too high at the moment. One thing that concerns me - speed bumps and sharp inclines coming out of driveways? Whats your experience - is there a safe level to drop too, where i can get as low as poss, but not have to replan every journey around sleeping coppers and pot holes. By the way your cars are looking phat!

kevhaywire, mate is that you in the pic - i am getting confused, last time i looked you was the fella from escape from new york :?

41,560 on my vr6 and clocking up a bit more quicker then i care to like - thinking i should maybe get a second car.

racingswamp46, You have bought a lovely classic there mate, welcome to the forum!

I know mate - its like getting on the bus, it ain't going nowhere until the last persons on.

Andy, you sound very sweet on your missus, surely your kidding? Mate - i reread your post, i am with you now. You mean supporting someone who sits on there arse - sorry mate :?

I spoke to the guy at the local texaco and they are doing ok, they had a top up delivery of 25,000 litres this morning. But he did also state that he had been a blue ass fly with a long stream of cars coming in and out. I think this whole episode has been a joke really. As far as i can tell the protest had no effect on the fuel deliveries, at all - just joe public has shot himself in the foot, with this typical greedy hoarding we show. To top it all the oil companies have done alright this week, its every businesses hope to sell all there stock. I do dislike the streak we show as people, stuff like that always pisses me right off, i have to fly quite a lot for work and you always get the part where as soon as the plane stops everyone jumps up and sticks the elbows out - pulls out there bags from the overhead whilst twating some poor bugger across the back of the head with there samsonite. This is followed by them standing there for ten minutes huffing and puffing and stewing in a pool of resentment. I always just sit there and finish reading my book, can't be fecked with all that. To have to stay at home and not commute to work cause theres no petrol is far from bad for me..I mean how bad can an extended snooze and day washing the C be?

Coolio - I can see the lifting of the gear surround being a lot of fun as is with the rado!

I think i must have the 2X2 connector as mine is a 93/94 - the VAG-COM sticky thread states that the 16 pin was 95 and later. Bummer, i could have shelled out 29 quid's and got one right away.

Tried that and they fray even more then :cry: Think i may try running a lighter alond the fringe - but then that could make borbles which may scratch the car :shock:

I went down to tesco's looking for some microfibre cloths but could not spot them. I have these shitty ones from halfords which you have to cut off of a roll - they leave small bits of fluff everywhere. Anyone got any microfibre spotting tips when the next tesco's run takes place.

My next investment is going to have to be a VAG-COM - mine is 93/94 model (Dec 94) so i guess i need to search and find out which connector to use. Battery is new, so that out-rules that one.

I am having the same issue - Mine starts fine, but can sometimes cut out if i dip in the clutch for too long (Every now and then i feel the steering go heavy where its cut out, so i lift the clutch and use that to roll the engine over and fire it back). I have read a few posts mainly suggesting the cleaning out of the ISV, coil pack (does not seem to have made a diff to most). This weekend i am going to have a look at cleaning the ISV and i am also going to lift the plugs out to have a look at there condition. There is a few guides on the CF.net on the ISV so will use them as a reference. My idle is not that great as well - it tends to burp and bump when idling but i have also heard this is a normal behavoir for the VR6.

Sorry to see the damage Jay - but your taking it on the shoulder which is nothing short of gent. Loving your C by the way, i am a way off undertaking some of the work you have carried out, but its inspirational all the same, lets see how i get on with the new af for starts ;)

Thats right dinkus! Hang around them long enough you start seeing paddington beer!

H8RRA - theres close encounters above your head mate, either that or your the second coming. ;)

A kind of chuftie - in barcelona working at the moment. They have a lot of golfs over here and seats evrywhere you look, but not seen any c's yet. I spoke to taxi driver 'and i must admit' lured the convo towards car's - until i got the hook line and sink i had manipulated for 'So what do you drive at home' - 'A corrado vr6' - 'I yes, very very good car, my friend, we have not many here in spain, but yes, this is very very very nice car!'. Needless to say, total chuftie.

Went to the local pub for sunday lunch, the car park entrance has one of those evil narrow metal speed bumps (which you need to go over realy slow). Anyway it was a sunny day and the bear garden was full of punters. They all looked round giving her the once over, and most of the blokes made quiet comments while nodding there heads up and down like the churchill dog - 'oh yas!' - being the humble guy i am i was chufted as feck :)

I may try and get it back as far as i can with some emery - hoping i don't have to cut anything out :shock:

I was out having a smoke in the car park at work when i spotted this ole classic. The karrman ghia. Maybe not the rarest but not to many around now....

Woops! I thought i stuck it in exterior?
