So I floored it in 2nd, I'm pretty sure it didn't reach the rev limiter, and then everything just turned off, engine power steering etc. Managed to pull over and it started again straight away anyone had this before ? It's the kr engined 16v, I have heard of this on mk2's. Don't fancy it happening again!
-
As in Peugot 206's? I'll have to have a little play and see what looks best!

Hi fellas, I've had these red rear lenses sitting in my garage for a while and I've decided to pull my finger out and fit them. I read an article in PVW that if you buy a set of green bulbs and fit them behind your red lenses, they will then flash orange. God knows why, I was always crap at physics. Does anyone know where I can get green rear indicator bulbs from?
-
Have been told I will need my arches rolled at the rear but my local accident/repair garages are all reluctant to take it on due to the arches being double skinned. Is it worth gettin them pulled? Anyone know prices? I really really don't want to have to change these fantastic rims!
-
Right I know this has been discussed many times before so im sorry to repeat!! I have a k&n panel filter for my 1.8 16v. Im gonna go down the "remove the snorkel" route rather than swiss cheese the airbox. Has anyone got any photos of this or some good advice to guide my along?
-
Thanks mate, will have a gander tomorrow.
-
What is the size of the innlet mannifold on a 1.8 16v? Is it worth me buying a 50mm joby, or do I already have one?
-
Cheers for the options guys, not sure what i'll do yet but at least I know where to start now!
-
yes mate standard at the mo
-
Which induction kit is most suitable for an 1800 16v? Will prob go for K&N unless you guys can recommend any others?
-
Nice one PBTL! Reckon I'm gonna go with coilovers see how low I can go. I will pm after payday as am spending this months quoter on engine and hopefully the Coilovers!!
-
Thats awesome mate! Lookin at 16's. Am eyeing up some fully adjustable (FK, I think) konigsports. Thanks for the help!

Ok I want to lower my 1.8 16v. The road surface around here is awful (just like everywhere else in Britain), so I still want some comfort and can't just slam it to the floor. Have got my heart set on Borbet A's, 7.5 at the front and 9 at the rear. I realise I will need to get the arches rolled at the rear depending on how low I go. Are coilovers the best suspension to on the market reguardless of what wheels I've got. What is the best brand? How much should I pay?
-
Been on the parts for sale section and these moonroofs keep popping up. I asume they can be fitted to the Corrado, but is it an easy job? Do they look any good?
-
Thanks fellas, I've got more sense out of you guys then most of the garages I've spoken to, trying to force me to buy a 20v turbo that I can't afford. Gonna go with the 6a me thinks, watch this space!!!
-
I will speak to The Phirm tomorrow, hopefully they are gonna do the work so will ask about the 6a. If anybody has a 1.8 with an ABF bottom end be nice to hear if it's any good!
-
Have been offered a 6a, but has 120k on the clock. Havn't heard much about this conversion so don't know how straight forward it is.
-
As I just can't find a 9a engine to convert my 1.8 16valve, my beautiful nugget banana is sitting outside my house with mould growing on the steering wheel. Its so depressing, and I wanna get her sorted a.s.a.F.p.! Shall I just get the standard engine rebuilt OR use the bottom end from a 2.0 ABF engine from a mk3 Golf? Please help!
-
Awesome cheers guys!
-
I will have to research more! Maybe it's the bottom end that is swopped over!
-
Hello agin fellas- Would it be prefferable to fit a Mk3 golf 2.0 16v (abf) engine to my 1.8 16v nugget or should I stick to the 9a. There seems to be more abf's about and don't they give more break anyway? Cheers.
-
Cheers guys, hopefully the Phirm are gonna sort me out with the 2.0 once I've found one, been advised on Kent cams too. Much abliged!
