Sounds like youve had a busy weekend mate. Fingers crossed for you that it runs fine once you get to that stage! :)

Hi Gareth (snap) Welcome to the forum!

From what i can remember (been a while since ive used vag-com) yes i could.

No reason why not I'm sure. Mine is a serial port one, call me old fashioned but I like my serial ports! It says it's for 409.1 which is what you'd be getting to download for free. I bought that one myself. Worked fine for me.

Same here, they love it behind the mirror. You cant get rid of it! :lol:

[/quote:b4893] I reaslised that, I was just wondering if the looms were still on.

Is this thread still been watched? May be a daft Q but can the lacquered surface be 1200 wet and dried before a final coat of lacquer is added?

Just because Hamilton didnt move over to let Alonso through, i cant see how Alonso justify holding Hamilton up in the pits. Am i right in thinking there was some sort of gap between Hamilton and Alonso when Hamilton was told to move over? He didnt hold him up thus nothing illegal - unlike Alonso and the pits incident. I hate to appear biased, but Alonso has had an atiitude towards the team mate situation since the beginning of the season, it wouldnt suprise me if Alonso held Hamilton up on purpose. It would be good to hear the radio messages though. Lets not forget Lewis is probably the first of many. He was looked after by Mclaren through is kart years all the way up to his F1 career. But id hope that Ron wouldnt favour him due to that very reason. I say if Alonso has a problem with Lewis' success, then do something about it on the track in a sportsmanship fashion.

First off, welcome to the fold! :D Im assuming you mean the valvers? Only ever owned the 2.0 8v which was my first corrado a few years ago, which is the slowest of the range, but suited me fine at the time. It wasnt slow just not as fast as the G60 i owed or the VR i now have. BUT if youre on about the 16v'ers ive heard the 1.8 is the best one to go for - im sure someone will turn up to give you more info. As for which model to go for in general, it depends what you want from the car.

I hope so like you say theres the Porsche cup, Seat cup, Audi in Le mans and ex-toca team. They have the money and resources all they need is the will (fingers crossed on that one). Ferrari only supply the engines though, the aero-dynamics, gear boxes (i think) - the drive train in general is the teams own, not Ferraris. The other teams been STR and Spyker, So i dont think it matters TOO much that Ferrari are supplying engines to 2 other teams as those teams arent mid runners never mind front runners. But yeah, more constructors are needed to stop the red mist descending.

I think it was a case of he wasnt pulling away that quickly, a tenth or two a lap. I dont think he REALLY lost out in anyway by moving over anyway. 14th place in the last 10-15 laps of a race, i dont think there was much hope. In regards to the championship, I think Massa is well out of the running. I wouldnt be suprised if Raikennon overtakes Alonso in points. That would be cool if VW joined F1, always pondered why they never have. It would be cool. 8)

Anyone heard from Andy regarding looms? I understand he may have a busy schedule, but i havent had a response to PMs nor posts???

I can see Hamilton staying at Mclaren for his whole career, though not to say circumstances wont change. So saying Alonso leaves Mclaren, who you think will replace him?

EXACTLY!!! I used to watch F1 religiously when i was younger, stopped watching it around 2001 and have only just got back to watching it regularly. It just got boring and now Hamilton has stirred things up again. I would have hoped Alonso being more experienced would just get on with things and stop *appearing* to be so petty/envious. Though if it keeps F1 alive then so let it. I dont know about any of you guys but it was a bit of a nail biter towards the end of the hungarian race - very exciting. GO LEWIS!!!! Roll on Turkey!

good job, looks neat. Just in the middle of doing mine. Started the one wheel (at the mo) on sunday, sanded it down filled any kerbing and primed. Got the Wurth paint through today, just giving it a couple of coats. Is it recommended the paint stage is sanded using 1200 wet and dry before lacquering? Has anyone attempted doing the inside of the wheels too, or just stuck to refurbing the face?

Talk about thread resurrection. Sorry chaps, thank for the replies, but i dont have the G60 anymore.

A Pacman air freshener, although it no longer smells, i still keep it hanging from the cig lighter. PACMAN ROCKS! :D

Ditto! I was going to ask that on here at some point.

Put me down for one Andi please mate. :D

....and the spoiler

mmmmm, they really do sound nice in tunnels. I cant help but drop a gear and give it some boot when i go through one. Why you selling up mate?

HAHA! knows what you're like then. Now, just think of the places where he could have left it safe. Can't be that many places ;)

But surely the starter motor would still tick over, even if the fuel pump wasnt working due to blown fuse- just theres no fuel to fire the engine up.

Hmmm in that case, i may go out and get one, see if it makes a difference. Mine is missing completely HA.

did you try pumping the pedal to see if anything comes out then? New calipers from GSF are 40 odd quid each. Not too bad. EDIT- that was for rears though.
