Lol, the stuff you 2 come out with is quite concerning!

Haha no worries, I've had my full car in bits at one time or another so hope I know my way round a rado. I may well treat myself to a biscuit though! I reckon it deserves a ride in vrt ;)

I used some sticky back foam stuff from hobbycraft, did the job a treat! Comes in useful for stopping rattles as well

Now then! welcome back... just doing some window shopping are you? I wouldn't mind seeing how your old car is doing, definitely an inspiration for my build, would love to go 4wd

Erm the elm327 I think, bought it absolutely ages ago. Was only cheap so took a risk, works on the rado if you convert to obd2 as well ;) Not sure what you mean about WiFi scanner though, never seen a WiFi obd scanner before Edit: think it's same as this http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=221938206427&alt=web

I've got an elm Bluetooth one you can try if you want? It's OK, not amazing. I use it with the torque app and can reset codes

Boo, should have just said I'd have it. Nevermind, add it to the basket next time I'm shopping for cleaning stuff.

Is it decent stuff? Wanted some stuff for leather in my bmw for ages

Wrong thread I'm afraid, you're 2 cylinders short! Try here: http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?36117-The-Forced-Induction-20V-Thread

Not that he will, but if easypops changes his mind I'll have it

Guy over on edition38 is doing one at the moment. Not straight forward swap but not horrendous, buy the eurowise engine mount conversion which bolts into existing mounts or make your own, same with driveshafts. Wiring wise either convert car to ce2 or splice ce1 -> ce2 looms together same as an abf conversion.

This is the code I have so far, anyone see any problems? Next step arduino/seeed forum I think, looking at it my problem seems quite specialised rather than just C++ // demo: CAN-BUS Shield, send data #include #include MCP_CAN CAN(9); // Set CS to pin 10 int rpm_int; void setup() { Serial.begin(115200); START_INIT: if(CAN_OK == CAN.begin(CAN_500KBPS)) // init can bus : baudrate = 500k { Serial.println("CAN BUS Shield init ok!"); } else { Serial.println("CAN BUS Shield init fail"); Serial.println("Init CAN BUS Shield again"); delay(100); goto START_INIT; } } void loop() { rpm_int = 250; // send data: id = 0x00, standard flame, data len = 8, stmp: data buf unsigned char stmp[] = {1,0,0,rpm_int}; CAN.sendMsgBuf(0x280, 0, 8, stmp); delay(100); // send data per 100ms } /********************************************************************************************************* END FILE *********************************************************************************************************/

Yes it's a genuine arduino board. I've been having a look and the things you can do with the arduino is awesome, some guy has been making a jarvis! I'm trying to take it 1 step at a time so for now I'm just trying to figure out if I've got it wired right as u don't even know what the terminals do on the board or if when I'm trying to send signals I have to code it so it knows where to send from. I'm sort of piecing together bits of code together, I have a piece of code that does rpm to a polo dash which I keep trying but nothing happening, no lights on board flash or anything. When I send the initial signal to check canbus it comes back OK but it does that with or without the wires attached so I'm presuming it's just checking the canbus shield is there and not looking at the golf clocks I have attached to that.

Well I've bought an arduino uno and a seeed canbus shield to try and communicate with the canbus system in the R32 engine. For now I've got a set of mk4 golf clocks I'm trying to control over the canbus via the seeed shield, there seems to be loads of people online that have done it but can I hell get it working or even make the dash do anything to even confirm I have it wired right. The end goal is to wire it up to the R32 ECU and convert the CANbus messages to analogue signals to pass through to the Corrado clocks

Long shot but are there any C++ programmers out there or anyone with experience with Arduino/Seeed Canbus? Got a bit of a project I'm working on but I'm a complete novice and I'm getting pretty frustrated with it all! Hoping for a bit of assistance or maybe some pointers on where to get some info from.

Look same as mine, don't think anyone fits any other size than 9 and 11

Try not to use too much filler, seen a couple of smooth bay rados where filler has cracked and it just looks terrible! Decided against loom then, don't blame you. I have heard good things about Andy outhwaite but at the time I was doing mine I could not for the life of me get hold of him

Anyone on here live near Edinburgh? Absolutely gutted, there is a scrapyard not too far from me and I was just having a look at the stock they have in as they are dirt cheap for parts, got pretty excited as they have a Corrado VR6 in with full leather interior! Well that was my weekend sorted, except I hadn't noticed I'd not filtered out Edinburgh location :( If anyone fancies nipping to scrapyard and getting me the full leather and some other goodies then posting it to Hull I would be most appreciative, otherwise go get yourself a very cheap interior. Looks like theres some nice parts to be had! http://www.u-pull-it.co.uk/breaker-parts/volkswagen-corrado-1993/36349585-0

What do you mean 'until you drive it'? As in when you stop at traffic lights it is not blowing hot air or as in you leave it on idle from start and won't blow air until you drive it? If you have recently done thermostat it might be an airlock or as VW_Owner (sorry don't know your name) says the fins might be bust on the water pump, it wouldn't be the first time I've seen it happen thats for sure.

Any 16s on the horizon?

Depends on the wheel, I can't fit 312's under my 16s but I know others that have with plenty of room under 16s. Porsche brembo's should fit as they fit them on the old 944's etc with 16" D90's. If you are looking for porsche calipers try go for fronts not rears as a few people have said the rears have a lot less pad surface area so barely noticed a difference in braking between stock.

Gauge is run by yellow temp sensor. Black is fan speed 3 and blue is ecu (2 pin normally, 4 if it's a/c). Have you had vag com plugged in and seen what temp that says it is for comparison?

Go on then, I'll have them. Pm me payment details

Will be a lot easier with a garage agreed! Yea, you have all the water pipes, loom etc but easiest way when reshelling is to unbolt suspension (2 bolts), front cross member (2 + 4 bumper bolts) and subframe (4 bolts) and the whole lot just wheels out. Did a vr6 conversion on my mates cabby a few years back and that's what we did, parked donor car next to his and just unbolted, wheeled it out and rolled it under his

I bought one of those remote ones like petercabrio got an snapped it first time I used it, not impressed
