    Tyres Again

    I am on my second pair of Uniroyal Rainsport 1, i think these are ment to be best on the wet?? not sure but the ratings were good and i find them grip well. Cost 120 each so they aint cheap but i was considering on toyo but stuck with the uniroyals Muks 16v
  15. I am looking to do this to my 'c' as there is a 91' passat breakin nearby, is this the correct model passat to take handels from? also has anyone done this to there 'c' how long does it take? and hard is it to do? Cheers Muks :wink:
  16. The black corrado looks the nutts it was on the cover of PVW few months ago and then later for sale around £4000 WTF??? lol i thought that was a bit cheap as the owner had done loads of mods to the car, the grey one looks nice too (8vg60) well done mate!! ps how low is your car? and what rims are they? Cheers Muks
  17. hi my mate is looking to buy a corrado, its a M reg 2.0 16v however the rear seats are not right? ie there is no middle section for the first aid box so effectively the rear seats can fit three people???? what is going on i thought the corrado its a four seater? that what insurers list it as and the log books?? or is it that the car has been modded? and is this legal?? any replys much appriciated Cheers Muks
  18. I was doing 120mph on M1 3 weeks ago (whoops i didnt say that) :shock: with 4 people and full boot, but with just a few people in the car you should get between to 125 -130 depending on the condition of the engine? as for the sunroof closing with the key? i didnt actually find out that you could close the windows buy just turning the key untill about a month ago :) and my sunroof doent close either? so it may need another relay or sumthing and might of been a standard feature on the VR6? not sure though or mine is broken too :cry:
  19. I'd go with the seats!!!!! £500 aint much to make the 16v feel much diffrence + it will drink more fuel so i say go for the seats to make it a better comfort ride!!! 8)
  20. How about skimming the head? i dne this on my nova to increase pressure, not to sure if it helps on 16v? just a thought? :roll:

    Window Tinting

    I think it looks good, just dnt got to dark as this spoils the look of the car but a light smoke never hurt anyone :wink:
  23. I have a supersport system on my 16v, with a oval tail pipe looks nice, the sound is ok but not like a big bore 4. The rattle could be the heatsheild that runs to the air box coz mine snapped off and i just removed it coz it aint no use untill the winter. Cheers
