Well today thought i try and cure my idling / cutting out fault by removing the ISV while it was out thought id repair/tidy up some of the now exposed loom. So as i brought some loom tape the other day (thanks to Kev and supercharged for the part no :wave: ) wish i took a before photo as the old loom tape was completly shagged :( so stuck the ISV valve in some brake cleaner crossed fingers this will work!!

how come?? steering wheel yes as a OE wheel they are pretty good, slightly prefer it to my BBS one as it feels more chunky gripy etc if you know what i mean, but the side repeaters OH NO NO NO NO lol :D they date the car clear or slightly smoke IMO LOVE those COMP wheels btw Gareth :notworthy: ttfn chris

cheers fella :grin: it hard work tho being a daily driver ttfn chris

Ha lol yeah these rado part timers!!!! its alright for some lol

cheers for the tip mate frost is good stuff, and yes its my daily so unfortunely i using it all year round :(

yeah defo not a reshell, i thought mine was painted til i got it up in the air and started cleaning, only a little over spray underneath mines a early ish VR seems the later ones were finished of better???

sounds like bullsh*t to me, remember the MOT is rock bottom minium standards, its also section 45 of the road traffic act NOT costruction of use two totally different things. yes i think one day the D.O.T WILL bring it more in line with whats happening in europe. just remember if you can turn up to a MOT test station without a windscreen, then i think it a be a long time before modifications come into the scheme ttfn chris

thanks mate, i like the speedlines but i feel they should of always been 16s or 17s to fill the arches more cheers for the comments its come along way since i brought it, but still more to do :norty: regards chris :)

id like to tuck mine away for the winter lol but i cant :( not unless i get project rust up and running :roll:

cheers mate and where did you get the gimmi stuff from???

Funny you should say that as Mr Dewson and i were discussing this a while back

cheers the pics dont do them justice mate, spent some time cleaning them up etc well pleased with them, and just sold my other shabby set on ebay :clap:

AWESOME 8) lovin those wheels, where did you get the g tech stuff from??

thats depends on which mk1 your talkin about lol or as my wife calls in " PROJECT RUST"!!!!

thought she like buffin your end piece??? lol

yeah good attuide to have lads, but id be mad a hell its different if you know a young kids cycled next to it and that happened but its some low life has gone out their way to do it as they are jealous and thats te bit that gets me. as you both said tho it can be fixed

:lol: cheers Nath im glad i can rely on my mate's support :lol: :wave: ahhhhhh its true tho especially when i see whats happen to Matt's car recently id be fooked right off, people just dont respect other peoples things this days FACT!!! of all people you and matt know that

that just awful mate im pissed off for you. sorry to here that mate :censored:

:lol: funny you should say that as the car is a daily drive as my MK1 golf is my weekend/ show car/ pride n joy, BUT the Corrado has slowly become the same EVEN tho its still my daily and a some of you know me i be honest ive taken it a bit too far. I have started to toy with the idea of selling it :shock: :( as i am finding im not enjoyed ownership i.e keeping it clean, worrying where i park it, other peoples driving to close to it, only the other day i parked it up outside the post office for two minutes to get a parcel i missed to find a taxi driver banged her door against it, luck no damage. Dont get me wrong I LOVE VR ownership its the best car ive ever owned puts a smile on my face every time i start her up, but its because it a fairly good example and the time ive spent on her machine polishing, cleaning, more cleaning, worrying where i park it, worrying if some pikeys goin to take a liking to the BBS split rims, and the pratical side of the fact i have two mint cars and the wife drives around in a £500 quid golf estate with my little in etc etc that is starting to take its toll on Corrado ownership, alot of its my fault, should of not brought a mint example in the first place. sorry il get off my box now :)

Well thought id get the old girl up in the air to see probably what damage was cause by some pikey putting a brick out in the road for me to then run over :censored: not much lucky just caught the eat sheild as seen in the photo and the exhaust, just pisses me off!! so i decided to clean the underneath of my car today, still got a bit more to do to finish off, please with the results a bit weird that its not painted blue?? anyone elses like this? The damage caused by the brick :censored: cleaned all the glass before winter weather!!! One last shot of the old girl before i take the BBS off for the winter :( BBS Splits rim off for the winter, my new speedlines courtesy of Matt :clap: as my oringinal set were in need of a refurb

becoming one of my favourites, just show what can be done with a little hard work :notworthy:

Paul, just seen this I feel for you mate, i been there is the nuggut a write off??? as long as your ok that the most important thing, and i cried when t happened to me. Happy Birthday mate btw chris
