It looks like my Corrado's going off the road! :(

Dont worry fella, There are sure to be lots of us in the same boat. I do sometimes wonder if it is worth just putting my old Citroen ZX back on the road just to save money on insurance, fuel etc. I hardly ever use my C and the GF is so expensive on the C. Everytime I get another thing to fix I have to Justify doing it. -
I had the exact same problem last year, Stealers wanted £70 plus vat and I ended getting mine from volks-spares for about £40. Takes about 15mins to change over. Just make sure you get the linkages set in the right place first time as you dont want to look like a fool as I did when 20mins later it started raining and I was trying to clean the bonnet not the screen. Doh

Good to hear you are still in the land of C ownership, Will have to meet up soon and go for a burn up to Fraddon to wind up Walsey :lol: Now a mod and not supporting us lonely cornish c owners, Time he came back into the fold :D -
just hit 150 thousand today, ooooppps that means i have put 8 tho on her in 8 months and i only live 5mins walk from work. just cant help getting in her for a drive when i have a spare couple of mins!!!!!!!!
-
Expensive day today, But after the drive home so worth it, Fitted new ARB links, Pads and discs all round and a set of coilovers. Might take a bit of fiddling to get the height right. But already drives and looks so much better. Plus I can stop!!!!!!!!!!
-
I have the same problem at the mo. Anyone got a how to on giving the ISV a clean. Cheers Tim

Just got home fronm a bit of a drive, whilst out cruising at about 80 was passed by a clio. Thought might give it a go so waited till was on a steepish hill and passed him, saw it was a clio sport and thought to myself that seemed too easy. He followed me at about a ton for another mile or so and then just took me as if I was on a sunday drive. Not fair need more horses :mad: What are they running cause I was at about a ton ten when he passed and I might have as well been doing 50 :oops:
-
Ok heres a question. Until this morning she has started and ticked over no problems first time and every time. THEN........ this morning started first time then nearly stalled then revved really high. kept doing this for about 10 mins then settled out. ISV or something much more horrible?
-
Just a quick one now that I have finally ordered the FK Highsports for my G60, How low should I go. I am running on 17,s and lowered 50mm at the mo and its still far 2 high. I think the highsports drop 80mm max. If I wind them all the way down does it affect the suspension or should it make no diffrence? Guess FURKI is the one to answer this one. :D
-
I only have the springs on the standard shocks, whick is the way the car was set up when I bought her and its not too great .
-
Well highsports orderded from G-Werks. Cant go wrong with them darren always v helpfull, Even responding to pms after a night on the lash :hic:
-
Did do and the price is spot on but really am in a rush for various reasons and the ride at the mo is f***ing awful( sorry mods only way to describe it). slimbos group buy dosnt finish till the end of the month. Plus darren at g-werks has a good price for forum members and in stock :D Its going to be low :lol:
-
Read back on a couple of threads and think G-werks are doing the best deal with the kind dicount to forum members that they give so am going to throw the business darrens way. Plus the solid bbm front mount I got off him last week was spot on.
-
Would love to but my mate who gave my c the once over said the shocks need doing ASAP and what with xmas, going snowboarding and popping the big question to the missus in the next week am slightly budget concious. I could have spent only 250 on standard shocks but thought if its only a ton50 more might as well get a set of coilovers hence the highsports. Will they make a diffrence over the standard ride, bearing in mind at the mo she is lowered 50mm on a set of gmax springs? Tim
-
Fk it is then, I have had a bit of a look around and venom seem to be the cheepest. All in favour say aye :D
-
I can 2nd that :D
-
Ok guys I have a bit of a budget like really could do without having to do my suspension now but needs must so which of these would you guys go for. Both of these are on the venom site but whats the diffrence in quality. I have decieded that since I need 4 new shocks it has to be coilovers and they need to be height ajustable as if I am going to the expense might as well get her so low she is scrubbin. Cheers in advance for the advice. :D Tim
-
I am thinking the same thing. Why are we never satisfied with what we have. MUST BE FASTER, MUST BE LOWER, MUST BE CLEANER. MUST BE FASTER, MUST BE LOWER, MUST BE CLEANER. MUST BE FASTER, MUST BE LOWER, MUST BE CLEANER. MUST BE FASTER, MUST BE LOWER, MUST BE CLEANER. :D

I hit 150K today and still runs sweet as a nut. But am really considering a rebuild just ensure more good driving.
-
Just a quick one I am looking for a pair of front top mounts for my G60 and have found a site http://www.vwspares.co.uk and they list front top mounts for a 1.8-2.0 which I am guessing is the valvers. Would the same part be suitibale for my G60. Cheers Tim
-
Anyone used http://www.vwspares.co.uk they seem to be quite well priced. Cheers Tim
