    http://the-corrado.net/.archive/forum/download.php?id=22615 ^^ Really want those rear lights :(
  3. My first choice would be BBS LM's and i also like ZW1's
  4. god i feel like the boring old mother of the forum, as i never go over 3k before 90deg's and even after that i rarely go over 5k! unless a passenger wants to see her go :( This car has certainly calmed me down!
  5. i HATE people who drive too close to the car in front.
  6. im currently having a nightmare trying to get mine off. the bottom layer of adhesive just wont budge, i have some autoglym tar remover but it does nothing :( Plus the paint under it seems to have corroded a small amount so i might just put them back on lol

    twin exhaust

    what would i take to get the exhaust hole on the rear bumper on both sides for a twin setup like that?
  10. lol, thanks :S whats do these 'FK' grilles look like then?
  11. where can i get a grille from like Jim's?
  12. agreed, people have no respect for other people's vehicles. Everytime i return to my car and somebody is parked close i inspect my door for marks.
  13. Everything went fairly smoothly after the pulleys came off, yet i think its abit tight as it makes a whooshing drone noise, will the belt loosen or should i re-adjust the tensioner?
  14. ah, thanks mate.. I recently changed the timing belt/tensioner and used an 8v golf haynes manual to help me. And there was no centre punch mark on my intermediate shaft so i spent ages trying to time it the same is it was when i took the old belt off. Yet, after 5turns it would never return to the same position so i was getting extremely confussed because the distributor and the valves were always in the correct positions. Anyway sorry for going off topic abit, but thanks h100vw.
  15. It sounds to me asif the intermediate pulley is timed wrong hence distributor is out. Personally i would take timing belt off and retime it. Ensuring valve 1 is at TDC and the diss rotor is at the correct position. I expect h100vw knows a better alternative though
  16. HELP MEEEE! i have removed the crankshaft pulley but how the fuck do you get the lower timing belt cover off? its just stuck behind the other 2pulleys which i cannot take off because the pulley just spins. Do i need to remove those pulley's? haynes doesn't suggest this. getting annoyed with this as everything seems to be stuck.
  17. i also have this problem so would be interested in the answer, just been hoping that i dont get a flat else im fekced :E
  18. ok i searched properly and have found the answer. Which is: HAMMER TIME!
  19. AB, i believe that there is only one valve (on the way out) the one on the way in is a straight through piece of metal pipe. g60cc, Im not sure how everyone else does it, but i didn't want to pay £25 for a new one and i didn't have piping the correct diameter to just connect both pipes together so i simply drilled mine out.
  20. I am having alot of problems getting the crankshaft pulley off. I have removed the four bolts holding the two (one small, one large) pulleys on and i have marked the both pulleys posistions against the crankshaft nut. The smaller pulley at the front came off easy, but i cannot shift the larger pulley (which i think is called the 'crankshaft pulley'). there are 4threaded holes through it which i have tried tightening the screws into to prize it off, but it doesn't even move. What is best practice to get this pulley off so i can remove the lower casing? I dont need to remove the crankshaft nut do i? Rich

    which engine model

    briefly how does k-jet work? and which engines is it on? 1.8 KR 9a?
  22. Thanks guys. One thing that i dont understand though is the pattern of the noise. I would have thought it was the bearings in the tensioner that the noise would be constant and relentless. But it has a distinct noise pattern of scraping for 4seconds and silence for 1second. Will replace the tensioner/belt on friday though. And wont drive it before then.
