Agreed on the even tuning spec. It's too much hassle having to create a new car every week. I'm not gonna be available for the last race on the 14th. Valentines day responsibilities. Any chance we could postpone till the week after, or do the last 2 races this weekend? Not too fussed if not. I would like to not miss the last race though. Anyone else in the same predicament?? -

but fret i must! Ohh my aching loins, doth this nightmare of the lagg not twist in my mind? You say "no anger was meant" and yet anger was met! In twisting steel and flipping rado's, our cruel mistress fate is hiding in the guise of "xbox live" :cry: MY LOINS! :lol: Quality!! -

:lol: All the lag seems a bit odd, considering we all sorted out the port forwarding, and we haven't had a problem since the 1st race. Apologies jamin, I think like Alex it was just unavoidable, can't be helped! Alex, fret not mate! -

Very "laggy" tonight, I fell foul to it on the 3rd or 4th lap, Alex appeared on my bootlid from nowhere (not your fault mate) and I ended up on my roof. Still was happy enough to finish 4th. Only 2 weeks left now chaps! :( -

2nd 3rd and 4th places tied!! C'mon someone has to knock Alex off his perch!! :wink: -
Yeah that's a US spec front bumper, rare over here but not impossible to import I wouldn't think. As for relocating the washer jets, I'm pretty sure someone on here used MK4 golf jets underneath the rear edge of the bonnet when they replaced the metal bonnet for a carbon fibre item. Dunno who that was though, it might have been CorradoVR6Turbo. Have a search for +MK4 +carbon +bonnet. HTH

So how does the league table look now?? C'mon Yan! Get your finger out! :wink: -
To be honest mate, I'd look for a set of audioscape door pods for the front. They allow you to fit 6.5" woofers and are far more solid than the plastic factory pods. The factory fitted pods are just too flimsy and the original size speaker just isn't big enough to offer much improvement, even if you fitted amped up components. I went down the route you're thinking of to my expense. Ended up getting the audioscapes, a good set of 6.5" components and a decent amp. MUCH better quality sound for not much more than upgrading in original sizes. Hope this helps!!

Nice thread resurrection! Love: The rarity, I love it when I see another. I really don't think you could say that about many other dubs, maybe the mk1 goof. The VR noise with a CDA for good measure. Hate: Wet carpets and steamy windows.

Sorry I couldn't make it back in time for the race, my cousin gave birth yesterday so was busy with family. Bloody inconsiderate of her if you ask me! I needn't ask who won, Alex, as gracious in victory as ever... :D Did everyone else show?? -
Thought it'd be a repost. Still worth a look though, if only to see how bad your C could look. It makes me glad to look at mine again. :D

MOT Statistics Released (ONLY 3000 CORRADOS LEFT IN UK!)
mattnorgrove replied to LukeManic's topic in General Car Chat
Going by those figures, 3000 odd passed, and 2000 odd failed, so still 5000ish left by my reckoning? Surely a good number the 2000 odd fails would have been retested?? -
from what i can remember it just tell you the error codes My 303.11 shows full descriptions, using a £10 Fleabay lead...

Only 5823 tests carried out. IIRC there were 9000 RHD UK Models?? -
Reported! :gag: Hahaa! This picture is excellent, she looks like Michael Myers from the Halloween films, wearing too much make up. :gag: Kinda hot i think?! I would anyway... :lol:

A 94 VR will definitely be the later OBD type plug (looks kinda like a SCART lead), and not the 2x2 type. I got a serial connector but i don't think it really matters that much. USB connection can have some comms problems with the ABS ECU thoguh i think. As for what to get from ross-tech, I couldn't say. I got my software from elsewhere... :wink:

Not good to hear, but, there's a dedicated thread for this kind of thing... http://www.the-corrado.net/.archive/forum/viewto ... =13&t=7096 HTH.
