  1. So, the pipe came from Dec on friday (Man, that thing is good. I wanna be friends with it) and got round to fitting today, after someone pinched my Sebrings and left me some bald BBS's for the day! The pipe is on, and I swapped out the 'stat as well too (first time I had to do one in 15 cars? crazy) which Prod helped with, but no discernable solutions as to why that pipe keeps bursting. The last one was VAG too, but off my low miler engine. Ran the engine until the stat opened, and then until the fan came on and then took it for a blast around my local 'ring, and it was awesome. gears were quick and smooth, still hesitates at 6000ish but nothing major and she handles ok for now. Did a purposeful L.O.O. wiggle early on just for fun :lol: good times :D
  2. :lol: yeah there's a bunch of good ones on the tex. Seems like it's a pandemic theme: owning a corrado = bankruptcy!
  3. They can still be had cheap though, I got a battery from a local shop for £55, pretty much same CCA and power as the old one and has a 3 year guarantee.
  4. Yeah, it's exactly that. The lead mines are running out and as all the plates inside a battery are made from lead, the consequent price of batteries has gone up. And pencils :nuts: (joke).
  5. I'll leave Prod to confirm but Darren @ G-Wizzle did all the geometry when he put the HiCon GTs, with lazors etc.
  6. You can keep the sebrings if you liek, I am have BBS now! :clap:
  7. Sounds like a toasty foot warmer for those winter blasts! :nuts:
  8. I'm thinking the dash might be different too, but don't quote me on that :lol:
  9. Sweet! That should do well :D
  10. yes, the air would help cool the pipes a little. Thermodynamically, The pressure drops on a straight pipe are much much smaller than the pressure drops on bends. As a result, I would say the pressure drops in this 90% straight pipe system will be the same, if not less, than the pressure drops in an IC setup which twists and turns around the engine bay with a lot of 90 degree or gradient bends in it.
  11. Make your own and post it up I'll start: Tagline by DirtyTorque, and so true it is! :lol: Edit: pic re-hosted.
  12. :lol: that's cool dude, thanks. Now you put those up they do look a lot different! Gay, I really wished those were swappable :/
  13. any chance for a VAGCAT linkage? I couldn't see the difference. Cheers! p.s. as I have both pumps, I really should just look at the both :|
  14. aaah ok cool. 3 free bumps :D
  15. Oh, it's not one of these?
  16. Hi, I'm here for the free carriage...?
  17. Do you mean PG engine on it's own (therefore allowing for a turbo to be used as per Mr. Junkie) or the G60 engine as a whole, limiting the bhp claims to those using the original G-Lader?
  18. I'm building this new suspension system, it's called bumptronic.
  19. :lol: Is anything safe? Btw, the sexually confus
  20. you have PM, and a special place in my heart :camp:
  21. i'd link to the pic but i attached them in those days like some kind of media nooblet! Dude, you would be beyond cool if you could sort me out :D Very good point. I guess I should expect some issues on a £400 corrado huh. The car will be up on axle stands from October, so I will probably pull the whole front end out, engine too if I can get use of the crane and stand. p.s. if you search this thread for "Bob Fossil" I will edit the p17 post so this shows up :D
  22. See page 17 of this thread for the pipe that broke previously as it's the same one again. It's the one that goes to the bottom of the head flange, and the oil cooler, and perhaps the stat housing? not too sure...
