Love the corrado rc car. I currently have a 1/5 scale Losi 5ive 4x4 :thumbleft:

Ive allways used bosch W5DPO's in mine

If you posted the chips to me along with a stamped return envelope i can put them in my chip reader for you.

I painted some on with a small brush, gave it 5 mins or so, scrubbed with green pad, wiped crud off and wonder wheels and repeated until i was happy then cleaned out the bores as above.

As above. I found that "wonder wheels" will take carbon off a treat using a green kitchen brillo pad and elbow grease. You must wear rubber gloves and eye protection. Wonder wheels will slowly eat raw aluminium if you leave it for to long. I myself did not see any ill effects when i did my pistons/head/valves the other week as the exposure time was very small and when i had finished all traces of it were cleaned off. With the pistons in situ, bring them to the top of the bores and clean them up, once cleaned up use an air compressor to blow the crud out from in the gap around the piston (or a can of compressed air pc keyboard cleaner from pc world etc), wipe up mess, hand crank the piston down the bore, wipe bore clean with rag or kitchen town and repeat many times until no crud is seen being wiped on the bore walls. Also i found by experimenting that if you put your spark plugs to soak in wonder wheels overnight your plugs will look like new in the morning :) I didn't get photos of the pistons, but here is the head and a spark plug.

For the past few days ive been getting Error 502 again, chrome browser.

Don't buy a "Byron" wireless door bell from B&Q and other such shops. My bell rings everytime the lad next door locks his saxo with the fob..! (it's No.9 on my list of annoying things in my life that need sorting :D )

2nd dibs on this please :)

Great job guys, really fast and smooth on my chrome browser and looks the biz too :thumbleft: Many thanks to all involved.

I was in the same boat a few weeks back, sell it, break it or fix it up and keep as a project/weekend car. My car has been sorn for the past year with mechanical issues that i could not find the time or enthusiasm to fix, so it has sat out in all weathers and is currently looking very sorry for itself. I use a company van for work so was in no desperate need of a car. I came very close to pulling the plug and breaking it up for parts. I test drove a few cars and very nearly bought a red 07 a4 s-line avant quattro special edition but changed my mind at the 11th hour, well actually i kind of talked myself out of buying it lol. So... ive decided to give it one more go, just this last time, one more chance, throw money at it, throw time at it, and the next time it breaks expensively then its goodbye!! ...maybe ;)

Hi, is the bbm fuel rail still for sale? any pics? ​Cheers

Could be a kinked hard pipe on the rack or most likely the internal seals on the rack. I started to put together a step by step of how to take a TRW rack apart and replace the seals if you fancy having a go at it yourself, No special tools needed. Cost me about £38 for a TRW rack internal seal kit from VW, and a few quid for rack boots.

A standard remap wont work correctly. bar-tek among others sell higher kpa sensor chips. ---------- Post added at 11:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:16 PM ---------- http://www.bar-tek-tuning.com/lshop,showdetail,3392,en,1362353134-3423,1139125133.1150577408.1163014872,2160179,2,Tshowrub--1139125133.1150577408.1163014872,.htm

I still visit the site everyday without fail :) My car is still my daily driver. I still have plans to do more to it but a demanding job, a 4 year old child and a house renovation project that has been eating all of my money for the past 15 months have put the Corrado at the bottom of the list for the time being. Also, I have found the keenness to get under it and get dirty and oily seems to not be there for me these days. I have thought of breaking the car a few times but always come to the conclusion that if it has mot and still brings a smile to my face i just cant do it. Long live the Corrado forum!

Will the cv joints fit 4 stud J plate G60 ?

Looking good.

Had the pleasure of a ride in the car at the Air Balloon meet in Birdlip. A few pics i took: https://picasaweb.google.com/107315173950235927184/CorradoMeet#5388518130565769570 https://picasaweb.google.com/107315173950235927184/CorradoMeet#5388518163655529122 https://picasaweb.google.com/107315173950235927184/CorradoMeet#5388517900604684754

G60 (Turbo) Near Brecon here. :thumb right:

£50 posted. Refundable if your not happy with it. I can also fit the chip into your ecu and test for extra cost, you pay postage. Also, if you would like anything changed on the chip in the future the price includes free changes to the chip via self addresses envelope. There is no charge as the chip is re-writeable, just send the chip back in an envelope. The chip supplied is 512k so can hold "2 chips" on one chip that are switchable with a Moates 2Timer board, i can make one of those also if you fancy having 2 chips selectable at the flick of a switch ;) http://www.moates.net/2timer.html off to bed now...

65mm pulleys on eBay, dont know about quality. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-Golf-Corrado-G60-Syncro-Supercharger-65mm-Pulley-brand-new-/261044637757?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3cc779103d#ht_500wt_1210 If you need a chip i can help you with a 65mm pulley bosch red top chip. The chip is based on vw's v6636 eprom code with 3 ignition maps. You can specify the rev limiter to come in at whatever RPM you like, you can have it with or without anti-lag, you can also have the isv code adjusted to reduce boost bleed at higher rpms. I will also be testing a custom chip soon that features switchable launch control set at any RPM required, so i will be able to provided that option too.

This is what you need, cheap too. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/STOCK-CLEARANCE-SEALEY-HOSE-CLIP-PLIERS-COOLING-SYSTEM-PLIERS-FUEL-LINE-PLIERS-/360450260695?pt=UK_Hand_Tools_Equipment&hash=item53ec827ed7#ht_2242wt_916 I have the same one, works perfect on genuine vw cv boot clamps. :thumbleft:

A switched live can be found on the G60's ignition coil, green wire.

IHI ;) did you build the engine? whats the full spec? are you running digifant or standalone?
