  1. You've not started using different petrol have you? Try it on V Power see if it's still the same.
  2. For standard Corrado headlights you need H4, H7s are only for Inpro installs.
  3. with good reason, just about every speedo is inaccurate, so it's starting off with duff info, at best it's a guess-ometer. But then you use the mileage from the trip to work out your mpg when you fill up. And where does the trip get it's numbers from? That'll be the speedo then!
  4. I'm very interested to see how these perform too cos I'm planning the same job when I fly home for Christmas.............Keep us posted won't yer!
  5. Guessing it's not the VR then, if it's just a cheap run around is it worth the investment, are you planning to keep it or just run it into the ground? And as you say it's hardly like you need it for work is it.
  6. You can have my vote for, great combination.
  7. Looks pretty tidy to me, I think I'd go for it and I'd say the price is reasonable................. I paid that for a pair of recaros :)
  8. Just by your right knee..................assuming you're driving of course :lol:

    obd1 or obd2

    Unless it's been converted it'll be obd1.............they all were. But if you're still in doubt look at the pic of the throttle body from VRTrckster's conversion thread and compare with yours. http://the-corrado.net/.archive/forum/download/file.php?id=45512&mode=view
  10. When the timing was out on my valver by a tooth it ran pretty smooth but was flat until reved hard. Oh, and it used shed loads of fuel too.
  11. You have to admit the letters are gonna put a lot of people off......................and you're going to get a bung???? :lol:
  12. Pretty much like looking for any rare stuff for Corrados really, you just need patience to wait it out! Took me a year to find grey leather recaros but a pair came along in the end. I did see quite a few beige leather interiors while I was looking but the colour of many of them looked a bit patchy, I can certainly vouch for the refurb gear from http://www.furnitureclinic.co.uk/ if you do find some that look a bit tired don't be put off as it made mine look like new :)
  13. Which are now sitting in my garage waiting for a refurb and fit ready for next summer when I finally get away from this job in the desert :D
  14. Yeah, but like Andy says above, the main benefits are from the dip beam, which should be pretty reasonable with the projectors in the In-Pros. What you might want to do is look into wiring them so that the dip stays on when you switch to main beam, so you have main and dip on at once. Depends how much out of town driving you do, I guess. That's just what I did, spliced a wire into the main beam feed to drive a relay and then spliced the output from the relay into the dip beam feed. That way I get dip beam staying on when main is on and if the relay ever fails the only thing I lose is the dim beam on main. Next step is to put HIDs into dip only for the full effect.
  15. I did mine when I first bought them as I thought they were a bit too bling. I planned to do it by masking off what I didn't want to paint and then spraying with plastic primer/satin black after roughing things up a bit with a schotchbrite but found that my masking tape pulled off the silvering on the bit I tested. I could have waited to get some not very sticky msaking tape but instead was very careful with a brush and a couple of coats of hammerite smooth. Given the chance I think I'd have waited as I'm not 100% happy and may one day strip them and have another go! They strip down pretty easy and the angel eyes pop out too so that you can mask it up neatly, you just need the non-sticky tape.
  16. So they're very out of sync too as mine was registered 1/11/05 but it's S 3701. Anyone know how many were made under each year?
  17. Glad to see that cheese is challenging for the lead. C'mon cheese!!! :lol:
  18. cheers for the link, had seen it listed on the bay before but wasn't sure if it was a kamei one or not Mine's an original kamei one bought around 12 years ago for almost three times the price of the one on the bay, looks like the same thing I'd say?
  19. I used to own a Pearl Blue 16V the same as yours which was an L chassis number 6483, still wish I'd kept it when I bought the VR!
  20. Can't make my mind up yet, some days I like the chrome badge as it sort of matches the black rimmed angel eyes, other days I'm not so sure. I'm 100% though about having to swap the indicators/fogs for some inpros, they look too old now!

    Car covers

    I bought one from Halfrauds years ago for about £20. Used it all the time outside for maybe a year. Only use it now when I have a motor parked up in the garage and I don't want to have to keep dusting it. I'd say go for it, can't really go wrong at that price can you?
