  1. I had to break my grill off then get my arms in to release the catch. That was the driver side though and your radiator will most likely be in the way to get the passanger side. Good luck!
  2. How much is the membership? I was considering this and if I sign up you can keep the full commision. Would this cover motorbikes as well?
  3. Exactly, nothing to do with how the car goes round corners.
  4. Thats probably more do to with RWD and heaps of power.
  5. Didnt work for me. Could you not use a fairly large sharp centre punch and place it angled near the outer radius of the bolt and give it a great big whack. This works wonders on smaller bolts.
  6. Front grill spoiler :( Bonet vents :( Kit :( What the hell is that on the rear lights? Looks like a lot of work but doesnt float my boat. Golfs not to shabby though.
  7. Just a lump of metal to me, probably why Im still single :oops:
  8. I was just wondering if the factory system had the same or the powerflow guys had added an extra one as it was on the car when I bought it. I was just thinking about removing the centre section one.
  9. for exhaust - http://the-corrado.net/.archive/forum/viewtopic.php?t=15704 Do a search for 16v tuning as this has been covered many a time. 2l bottom end (9a, ABF) will fit but good luck finding one that isnt silly money.

    16v exhaust

    I was under the car at the weekend and noticed that my exhaust system (Powerflow) had 4 silencers. There is the bin like one on the downpipe, one on the striaght centre section, one on the 2nd mid pipe then the 4th is the backbox. This isnt right is it? Surely 3 is enough.
  11. Your Driver will have most of its power lower down the rev range than the 16v. You may just have to adjust your driving style as I have found out. Basically to get the car too move you have to keep the revs up. Nothing happens till after 3krpm. These 16v engines appear to need set up properly otherwise they are guttless. Unfortunetly the engine is not powerful enough for the size/weight of car in my opinion. As for the cornering then you are missing out if you dont push it a little. One of the best things about the car is the handling.
  12. Its that not that one that was up for sale a wee while ago, less the stripes. Bored out to 1.9l etc
  13. And I was only a year old! I love it when its like that up here. Either loads of snow or none at all.
  14. In my opinoin cloth is better but as these guys say use it as a bargining tool. As for A/C thats just more to go wrong and will screw the mpg fiurther. £5.5k tops for price. If subtle styling mods are choosen carefully then the silver C's look amazing.
  15. Is it hard to get the clocks out?
  16. I hate it when you put up pics like that as I keep trying to convince myself I dont need a debadge grill.
  17. i reckon it would be pretty good although being forced induction it was probably up against Subarus/Evo's etc. Still I dont think the yanks are that good at the old rallying fom what I have seen.
  18. I had the jrew.exe probelm. Sorted now using the .old file extension as mentioned in your link. Thanks a lot. Didnt realise it didnt have the KR engine in it :mad:
  19. XP on a dell inspirion latop
  20. Sorry dont know the right forum for this. I bought one of those repair manuals (bentley) off ebay and I al having trouble loading it onto the comp. There was instructions but they aint very good. For a start it does not want to auto run the CD then when I open the disc up and double click the set up it lets me select the language but then nothing happens. Anybody else had probelms like this? Anybody have any idea what to to do?
  21. Loose the bonnet vents and thats vnice.

    Water light

    Mine used to do that but doesnt anymore. Didnt change anything but I think it just the fluid level sensor taking the piss.
  23. I'll vote for Supersprint as well. Ive had Magnex (on two Golfs) whilst ok was a bit heavy, Jetex (Golf again) very good and fairly quiet and two Powerflow systems on two Corrado's. One too noisey and the other ok but on my 8v Corrado I fitted a supersprint system that fitted perfectly, sounded just right and looked like the original pipe but chromed. They are expensive mind.
