Ha ha, that made me laugh 🤣 It does happen to be a genuine Corrado reservoir 😎😁 I’d love to say where/when from but it was just there, I get the feeling it came with the last parts car but not sure 🤔

Thanks mate, I got another few wee bits done this evening. Ecu fitted, Schrick controller wired up and vacuum pipes sorted, also thought I’d best clean the windscreen and fit a set of Lupo wipers 😁

Great work, this is the first time I’ve had a chance to use that gauge I bought a few years ago, totally forgot I had it until I saw your picture 👍😎

No mate, the gearbox came in the fire damaged car that Michael and myself bought a couple of years back, Michael took the head and the VSR, I retained the rest, the gearbox had an issue the previous owner made us aware of, 1st and 2nd difficult to select. I took it to a gearbox mechanic that I know through a friend, he repaired it and changed the 5th gear, I supplied the 5th but as I’d only ordered one half of it he supplied one 😁👍 I did ask if he could swap the lsd(wavetrac) into my working box but he said it would be better/cheaper to fix the box with it already in

I can mate, still a bit worried that absolutely nothing will happen when I turn the key, although I’ve double and triple checked everything, there has been a lot done. Change of cams, chains and tensioners, clutch and flywheel, OBD2 conversion, Teves20 conversion, gearbox rebuild (5th gear swap and 1st&2nd synchro’s replaced to go with existing lsd). Plus I removed all the existing oe and aftermarket alarms/immobilisers so there has been a lot of electrical jiggery pokery 🤣

Long time no updates although I have been crazy busy with getting back to work, but some progress has been made. All brake lines have been made and fitted, goodridge hoses all round. As it’s Teves20, no bias valve. Fuel tank and pipes installed. Coolant hoses installed, but had a few leaks when filled up, crack pipe at block(pinched seal),thermostat housing (my error in assembly) and radiator switch (not quite tight enough). Swapped the metal crack pipe for a vw original one, sorted the thermostat housing and tightened the red switch and no more leaks(yet). Oil filled up. Gearbox filled up with MT-90. Power steering fluid added but needs the pump turning for circulation. All heat shields installed. Exhaust fitted except the back box, need to do a bit of a repair on the rear bracket area. Still to do Finish the install of the Schrick pipes/electrical box.......almost done though Add brake fluid Adjust the gear linkage as it’s not quite right at the moment (at least I don’t think it is) Loads of smaller jobs needing done but it might well get fired up soon 😁

I had my fuse box all the way down to allow removal of all the old security stuff, OBD2 conversion, Teves20 conversion and to wire in my heated/moving seats. When I tried to put it back it was a horrible job, I’m still crossing my fingers that everything stayed in place as it was very tight

As usual, life constantly gets in the way of car tinkering. I’ve been super busy recently so very little done. I removed the rear axle again, tidied up a few areas of surface rust, found a few other bits where the underseal had split so I had a few small patches to weld, nothing pretty but now solid. Also managed to fit the the front brakes and refit the rear axle

I’ll take the spoiler switch please 😁

I’m not sure, if they are indeed 57.1 centres then I guess they’ve had some work done? Are Subaru not a bit smaller? I don’t think there is much in it

Seen them 🥴

Thanks mate, I’ll keep this in mind, I’m going to go with the easier one that Fla posted. I do like the idea of a cabin switch but as the car hasn’t actually started yet I’ll get it working first 😁👍

This I think I can just about manage, any idea of diode size I should be buying? Also, total layman’s question.......what does the diode do? Is it like a non return valve for power? 🤣

Superb mate, thank you 😁

🤣 I’ll need to make a cuppa before I try looking at that 🤣 Let me look and I’ll see if I can find the post/posts on Facebook 👍

Thanks mate, I’m ideally hoping for an absolutely idiot proof guide 😁👍

I’ll look at eBay to see if I can find a plug, Sharan is a good shout 👍 No idea about the brackets, I bought these years ago. Yes, ideally I want it to run like factory 🤞😁 Long time no speak mate, you still in Glasgow? If so I think you might have been spotted a couple of times........posts on Facebook stating they’ve seen an unidentified green Corrado about the Clydeside expressway 😁

😂👍

I’m having a bit of an issue with how to wire my slimline fans. I bought the set up years ago, with wiring already attached. This seems to incorporate the radiator switch leaving no place for the original wiring to plug into. I’m hoping for an easier/simple solution that allows me to plug the rad switch plug in as normal. Both fans have a blue and black wire(+ and - I guess) . I would like somehow to attach these to the original fan motor plug. I’ve had a search but still unsure. Do I join the 2 lives from the slim fans and then split them into the 3(stage 1,2,3) lives on the plug ? Or into one and then bridge the other 2? Then join the 2 negatives and put them to the earth in the plug? Obviously it would be nice to locate the correct opposite of the plug to make it tidy, sure I read that there is one from another vw but I can’t find the old thread I saw it in? Many thanks as always if anyone can help 😁 Pictures of the wiring I have installed on the fans

This should help 👍

Well done on getting the sale mate, I’m sure you’ll keep an eye on here, most people do 👍

I’ll have a look mate 😁👍

Very nice mate, past parts? Could you say how much it cost? 😁

It’s in the post mate 👍
