  1. £50?, they've also got 4 stud abs rings attached to them which i had to slightly modify to fit so you wont have to worry about that niether, just out of interest, did you buy your 305 brembo kit from this forum?, that could be my old kit.


  2. These are'nt vr6 hubs, these are custom hubs, they are a direct replacement for your 4 stud hubs, they fit your 4 stud hub carriers and drive shafts, only difference is that they've got 5 holes instead of 4, i had the same set up you've mentioned on my old corrado, i had the 305 brembo kit, but had 5 stud wheels, so i bought these hubs from america and the only other thing i had to do was have the 4 stud discs drilled to 5 stud.


  3. Congratulations on the mag feature, car looks cool, love the front end.

    Really love that black, is it metalic?

     

    Thanks :D 8)

     

    Its Mercedes black (040) the bodyshop showed me loads of paint chips and after an hour they all looked the same :lol: I saw a Merc on the M62 that was really shinny and the black looked really deep so i went for that. At first the bodyshop started painting it with two-pack :roll: but I wanted base coat and lacquer !!! So I made them strip it off. Luckily they had just started the roof when I noticed :lol:

     

    They still managed to screw it up and I ended up taking the car back after 19 weeks and has another shop repaint every panel except the bonnet and roof :roll:

     

     

    Is it the lacquer that makes it look so good do you think?, never thought any non metalic black cars had lacquer on top, i know they never did on old cars, maybe thats why alot of the black paint on modern cars look so good, been on the look out for ages now to find the perfect black to get my next corrado painted in.


  4. Well - I think the resistance works the opposite way round between mk2 and mk4 so I'm thinking maybe you have a mk4 sender or some sort of box inline to sort the signal out??

     

    Did'nt think of that one faz, did'nt know about the resistance difference with mk4, when i filled it up, i did put alot more petrol in that i normally did, so if there is an inline box somewhere, it may of done something to that due to of being much more fuel in the tank than normal.


  5. on my 9x17's ive got a 215/35/17, not to much of a stretch on them, just enough to follow the contour of the arch!!

     

    What brand tyre have you got on your 9x17's?

    I have the same size tyre on my 9x17's, they are dunlop sp9000's and they look mega stretched.

    Would like to know if theres another brand that does that size and dont look so stretched.


  6. It's a 20vt in a 2.0 16v shell, the et of the rear wheels is 22.

     

    I did keep it and, i relised that i was'nt gunna get the money i wanted for it as it was so i've recentely taken the wheels and the brembo set up off and put the old gear back on, and fixed a few other other problems, the car will be up for sale again soon.


  7. You need to calculalate the off set and get the wheel as far inwards as possible without it hitting the trailing arm or strut, ur not gunna be able to go mega low but you can go low enough, mine is quite low and they have never rubed, even with 2 people in the back, i recon i could go lower but if i wound down the spring platforms on my konis any futher they would be touching the tyres!
