dealer, they're better quality than the GSF parts

To be fair the copper had a point, the standard height of later corrado's looks ridiculous, it's a coupe not a 4x4

Corrado Spotting was it you [Archive April 06]

Spotted a standard looking purple VR6 in the RD&E (Wonford) carpark this afternoon, N---EKF -
Bit off-topic but that's about right for a valver unless you're just cruising on the motorway at 70. Put £50 in mine last night and it had only done 320 miles since it was last filled up (hardly any of that was town/city driving).
-
Aaah, mine never came with them (at least I don't think they did :oops: ), I take it the silverline x's are different to the highsports in that respect?
-
So you're saying that you can get rid of the rear bumpstops if you put coilovers on? Never heard that before.
-
You should have the top mounts (VAG are the best quality) and rear bump stops changed as well when doing the suspension
-
If you've changed the suspension you'll need to go to a 4 wheel alignment place and have the camber done as well
-
Might be worth checking the tracking, if it's out it puts more strain on the PAS and can make it squeal at full lock
-
Should be fine with the Corrado hub, the wheels are all the same it's the hubs that differ.
-
That's the one my mate did cost about £600 all in for the week, wasn't sure if you had to be 21 or 25, lucky for you Lippy it's 21! R1 in no time eh :twisted:
-
not true, a friend of mine did a test that allows him to ride anything, he got a 600cc as a first bike. Don't know the details but I think you might have to be over 25 to do that though
-
First thing I'd take for a spin would definately be the F40, then one of the Zonda's
-
I always thought the earlier ones came up at 45mph? Mine always rises at exactly 46 (indicated)
-
try standing back from your monitor and squinting your eyes, worked for me :)
-
I heard they stopped making these, looks like you got a bargain for £40!
-
I would have thought all you need to do that is get a roll of thin masking tape and carefully mask off a few stripes before painting
-
depends on their mood at the time, I've heard of people being pulled over for having tints like that, but most of the time they'll let it pass if the lights are all suitably bright. The reflectors have to work as well so you might have to stick some aftermarket ones on there.
-
Give AwesomeGTI a call, I would agree that it sounds like the oil pump has gone. Probably best not to drive it if it has.
-
Change the brake fluid if it hasn't been done recently and get some grooved discs. Don't bother with drilled discs, the holes are only there for show and don't really do much, they also tend to crack more because the holes weaken the disc. I have these on mine and have never experienced any fade.

Seen THREE this week now! Red M***NOD (I think) going across Woodbury Common towards Exmouth this morning, old chap driving. -
If I was still living up there I'd use Awesome all the time, I know a few people who use them and they all swear they do a great job
-
bastrds! :( Looks like the paint hasn't neem damaged tho so like dinkus said you should be alright if a paintless dent removal man can pull the dent out
-
Since June '05 so 9 months now, that's 9 months too long according to the bank manager!
