    Fitting Gauges

    Looks really good mate & oem too.
  2. JBOB fair play i love your car :) :) :) lookin at your c makes me want a black c. Thats exactly what i want mine to look like. I'm goin down the body shop sometime this week to get a price and will let y'all know what they say. Thanks for the info guys, your all very helpful. Also JBOB did you spray yr angel eye's black? the look amazing.
  3. Hi all :) Just noticed that my front number plate recess has started to crack :roll: (due to the terrible job the bodyshop did). So thinking of getting the whole front bumper smoothed off (fogs & indicators) by a different bodyshop. But where would i fit the indicators? I seen a few people on here with it done but can never see any indicators from there pics. Any help would be great. here the car p'shopped
  4. Love those wheels mate, they are made for the c!
  5. Hi all been off the net for a while. Been missin this forum big time. Glad to get back on here. Quick question, my mates got a cat by pass pipe for a corrado g60 that he said i could have and that he would fit but isnt shore that we still need the lamba sensor fitted. The pipe has got the thread for the probe to fit straight in but does it still need this? Also is it really worth fitting a cat by pass pipe? is there a difference in power delivery? Should i just leace the original cat on? Thanks for the help guys.
  6. Thinking of getting a new bumper to cut the number plate recess out but at the mo it has been flushed. bit skint after all that moddin and the missus has just booked a holiday. :roll: :roll: Probably get one from ebay in a few weeks. Hopeully gona be getting it on the rolles in th next few weeks but not untill ive done the recomended 1000 miles on the new charger. Only 400 to go, think i need to go to manchester and back for the day out. :-P
  7. She runs so much better, just think me needs a remap now from sns just to give it the full potential of the fmic. Ive removed all the black plastic panels from behind the bumper so the holes just below will give it just enough cold air.
  8. Hi all, after a few eeeks of thinking this would be straight forward everything is finally fitted and running. Just thought i would right a how too for any people in destress bout fitting a fmic. What you will need: 1. Intercooler from http://www.thsparts.co.uk 120.00 quid (includes shipping & vat). 2. Rsr outlet from GWerks around 90.00 quid delivered. 3. 1 x 100mm in length 63mm hose, 2x 63mm id 45 degree silicone hoses & 1 x 63mm id 90 degree hose form http://www.viper-performance.co.uk 120.00 quid delivered. 4. 2 length's (around 50mm) of stainless tubing 63mm id, found at your local metal suppliers or also from http://www.viper-performance.co.uk, around 30.00 qiud. Step 1: First remove the front bumper, rad/fan, grill & headlights for more room to work. Step 2: Start by removing the inner ledge of the slam panel with some metal snips, this is pretty easy. This will give you room to fit the ic. Step 3: Secure the intercooler in place with 2 head bolts and about 1/2 inch of copper pipe (or anything to space the ic up) for each headbolt to raise the ic to give it a bit o height. Step 4: Then remove the fan from the metal bracket connected to the rad and secure the fan straight onto the rad (one holes will need to be drilled, see pic) you can use 1 hole where the bracket was seured before. Step 5: Start by fitting the 45 degree hose on the end of the rsr outlet (some cutting of the reducer pipe supplied with the rsr maybe required) and fit the other one to the drivers side of the ic. Slide in the 50mm long straight stainless pipe and secure with good quality jubalee clips. Step 6: Use the other 45 degree hose for the passenger side of the ic to connect to the throttle body. You will also need to cut the o2 adjuster clamp from the standard pipe ( see pics below ). Step 7: Fit rad back in with newly mounted fan but move the rad 1 hole to the left of the original sitting place for extra space. The rad bracket (connected to the slam panel,see pic) will need to be bent slightly to get it to fit right. Step 8: Fit your bumper, grill headlights etc back to the car and check all jubalee's and fixings etc and take it for a run. Thats should be all :?: :?: The difference on acelleration is massive and the car seems to pull better on the motorway. Well chuffed with this bit of kit, recomended to anyone. Sorry bout the terrible how too im not the best at this sort of thing but hope you get an idea of how it all comes together. Thanks anyways people, here's some pic's that should help guide you through the process.
  9. Was thinking bout doing this but we are just gona put a bracket at the top of the intercooler and attach it to the top of the panel. Hopefully this will give it a bit more strength.
  10. Hi all, Had some minor problems to fitting the intercooler meaning a set back for a few days. Needed to order 2x 180 degree hoses to complete the alu pipe to the charger and tb. Should be here in a few days, but most of the things have been fitted. Intercooler now in place along with the polished alternator, new k1 10mm ignition leads, oil cooler and isv. The intercooler is a perfect fit, meaning no modifacations to the rad as it sits back into the orginal spot. Used some hea bolts to secure th ic and some copper piping to space it up a bit for more clearance. Hopefully will all be done in the next few days. Also have a chrome alternator pulley/fan coming to complete the look. Will keep you updated on the progress. Here are some pics :wink:
  11. The slam panel will need to be cut. In the pic see the holes in the middle of the slam panel, its being trimmed back to where those holes are and it will then be a perfect fit. This needs to be done on both sides. I will do a step by step tomorro as its all being fitted then.
  12. First of all just wana thank everyone for giving me info when my charger blew up. Now i have a new charger from the great darren at GWERKS its all being fitted over this week. Had to source a new intercooler as the one from my previous thread http://www.the-corrado.net/.archive/forum/viewtopic.php?t=41634 was a no go. No mater how we mounted it there's no way it was going to fit and be effeicent. so i got on to a company called http://www.thsparts.co.uk and got a medium sized intercooler for 120 qiud all in. Next day delivery so had that today and the process began fitting it all. Also thought i might aswell get an oil cooler kit also from gwerks along with a alu coller for the charger to fit at the same time. While my car was in bits thought i might aswell polish up the rocker cover, isv, tensioner bracket and alternator just to give that fresh clean look. Got a few other bits and bobs coming to fit so should b all good once finished. The intercooler is the hardest part to fit as we have to cut/grind the front valance so it will slide in between the rad and the valance. Got a load of samco and alu pipe for the intercooler so that should be ok. I'll post some more pics showing what we had to cut/grind to fit the intercooler once fitted, just incase any of you are thinking of using the same intercooler.:icecream: Anyways here are some pics of what we have done so far and i'll update with any further things we manage to do. Looking forward to have it all fitted especailly the intercooler as you lot said the differance it makes is incredable. Thanks again guys. :-P :-P 0X
  13. Hi guys. For those who are intrested in these, just spoke to venom motorsport and they've got a batch on order and should be recieving them sometime in june. They didn't give me a price so haven't got a clue how much there gona be. Did this fotoshop just to get an idea of what they might look like (please exscuse the crappy fotoshop skills) Might have some myself, only to complete the look with the angel eyes!!
  14. Hi, thanks for the reply. Only thought of using the ebay one as the Pro alloy one is a direct fit for the corrado and the outlets are on the same side. http://www.proalloy.co.uk/cgi-bin/sitewise.pl?act=det&pt=52_62_143&p=658&id=proalloy I have plenty of alu bends and samco hose so pipe's aren't a problem, so wot do you think i should do? Been trying to get hold of a original golf cooler but there so bl**dy hard to get hold of. Any help would be great. Thanks.
  15. Hi all, Got my new charger from darren at gwerks. Had it next day after paying, what can i say the guys a genius. :D :D Lookin forward to havin it fitted but need to fit a intercooler first. Also bought a intercooler for a golf g60 on ebay cost 165 quid but just found out it might not fit. :cry: :cry: Could anyone advise me on how to fit the one in the pic below? :?: Ive got loads of samco hose and alloy pipe so makin some pipe up is no problem. Does anyone think this one would fit? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Large-Intercooler-suitable-for-Golf-Seat-Audi_W0QQitemZ8067049798QQcategoryZ72205QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Or should i just send the golf one back? :?: If not has anyone got a golf intecooler that will fit for sale? any help would be great.
  16. Perfect mate haven't had one problem with it. I have been told that falcon are actually clifford (a bit like toad sterling) there a budget alarm with the internals of a clifford, so you should have no problems with it. If you need any advise on fitting it, give me a shout. It was suprisingly easy once i found all the wires (that took me 3 hours). Sorted
  17. Managed to remove the charger on sat, basicly removed the front end. The front bumper was a bastid to remove but got thee in the end. Thinking of replacing the intcooler with something else. Spoke to darren at gwerks and he says the best option is a golf g60 cooler as its straight forward to fit. Just wondering has anyone else fitted something different? is there another budget option? Here's some pics of the car in bits. :cry: :cry:
  18. I was thinking of getting one from the l & s carte team as ive orderded a rsr outlet from them before and it arrived in 4 days. Just waiting to hear from g werks before i go and get one as they seem to have the best reputation. Still it's nice to have more options just incase all fails. Thanks for the help lads.
  19. Thanks mate for leting me know mate. How much you lookung for it?
  20. Thanks for the help guys, you have all been great. Thats gona be alot of pints i owe you lot on here. hopefully i'll have the one from gwerks, there gona let me know by the end of the week. If not the guy on edition38 wants 550 includes p&p. If that also fails i'll let you know RMN. Thanks again lads.
  21. Just rang g werks and spoke to rob and they have got a second hand one which will be serviced for 662 quid delivered. so in a matter of a few post's on here looks like i will have one soon as. :flasingsmile: :flasingsmile: :flasingsmile: :flasingsmile: :flasingsmile:
  22. Would you have the no.'s handy mate?
  23. Is there a step by step on how to do this on this forum? Would be great to have it when itting a replacement. if i can get one cheap enough!!
  24. The engraved part is my reg, must of been done when sent to jabba. Rang jabba they wanted 1200 quid plus vat and the said they will only supply & fit not just supply the charger.
