advice take it easy on your first couple of laps - be a shame to fuck up such an ace car ;)

also like the 1.8 16v which was more powerful than the 2.0 16v

can anyone give me the part number for the circlip to hold the gearshift gaiter in place? i gave mine away when i sold my old knob :lol: :oops: and now i have a new one my gaiter keeps slipping down :(

thats the one phil ;) just gotta sort it as everytime i turn ignition on the horn goes off :lol: i'll get some photos this weekend of it outside and washed (after i re-charge the battery again

pklease excuse dark photo, the cars in my garage oh, i forgot, these arrived aswell 195/45 15 Toyo Proxy T1-S mmmmmmm should be off too Jodi at MidlandsVW soon for a tune up (running far too rich) and then off for MOT, TAX and insurance! cant wait for it to be back on the road! :D

well its changed a bit since the last post, no graphics, standard BBS rims, and low. then a lovely standard clean interior

my missus and the previous owners missus are both 5' 0" and both reach the pedals, see over the wheel and drive it fine :?

the moer i watch the video, the more i cant help but think its does acutally suit it. im going to go and lie down now :(

hence why although we dont need two cars the wife and i use the volvo for everyday use, shopping leaving anywhere not worrying about it and the corrado for racing and posing :D

oh, and fitted a brand new standard rado gearknob, just need another circlip after i sent the last one with the alloy knob i sold grrrrr

yesterday i vacuumed mine out for the first time since i bought it very dusty inside, especially since its been sat in the garage 3 months :(

dependant on how much the stealers want, i'll deffo keep you posted, How much would you want for them ? cheers ant

Anyone any ideas where i can get hold of a set of standard springs?! since putting my car half back to stadnard the only things getting in the way are the 90mm splitter and the 40mm suspension drop on standard G60 BBS rims. ie. the inch and a bit between road and splitter. checked on GSF and ECP and neither list standard springs anyoen got the VAG part numbers? although i really dont want to pay stealer prices :(

pull the whole part out, the part that has the karmann logo on, it clips off turn it upside down and theres a circlip , take that off and it will all seperate ;)

bcstudent, whoops, thats the one!

ive got one of those :D http://www.hedberg.se more info on there, has been around a while, undergoing various work to the T5 lump ;)

not easy at all unless your dealing with motorbike tyres

12 years?!?!?!?! the longest ive owned a car is 11 months! :lol:

thats well sex. still drooling over the cage work and macrolon windows meself :D

go to http://www.mytyres.co.uk well cheapo- i use them all the time

polish the wax off with a peice of old denim sounds mad but foookin hell give it a go :D ;)

very rado. thumbs up from me :D

The car in the front of the queue is probably a Rover with a blown head gasket :wink: K-Series, marvellous engine... with a 2 pint cooling system :roll: its amazing how the 16v alloy head K-series was ever mass produced, there are so many design faults, and the engines are an arse to work on the timing marks for crank and cams cant be seen at the same time without a very thin bendy neck and head :roll: and yes the chocolate headgaskets are a problem, blown my 214Sei twice, the 416SLi once, and amazingly didnt pop the metty ones, although i did blow the gearbox on the 416tourer, and the a+series metty crumbled away beneath me, although it had lasted 20 years!!! which for a longbridge steel box aint bad!

got tints on my pearl green, dark smoke to the back, and proposed light smoke on front, dark smoke is a little too dark though, very light smoke all round would keep it classy paul

mate, ive owned 2 rover 200s, a metro a+plus series and 2 k-series Metros. and only 1 of them has been decent. comfortable, but engines, boxes and electrics are shite
