^^^ PMSL. Do VW make armour plates for handles like they do for Mk2s? Sounds like winnage to me. Sorry for the damage though dukest, if you need some rough early doors in black just holla at yo boy.

James, looks amazing buddy! Can you explain what you are doing with the plastigage? Are you putting some goop on the crank which then spreads itself out and you measure how far it spreads? :scratch: Ta, Jon.

Well, the hub nut came today (thanks bro) but it looks like the outer CV has some issues. I wasn't sure whether the mallet I was using to drive the outer CV back on the shaft after replacing the circlip caught the thread slightly and it seems it did. The last hubnut stripped it's first two reams of thread trying to go on, and this new nut is refusing to bite at all. Oh dear, looks like there'll be no shopping and no tea for me tonight :brickwall: :brickwall: :brickwall:

mine sometimes does the same. What kind of condition are your Warm Up Reg and Cold Start Valve in?
-
Impatient car buying is gonna end up getting you a rot bucket mate. 2p.

Yeah it says 'Heckspoilersteuerung' on it. Box itself is probably about 1"x2"x2" and writing is on the end.
-
turbo the house instead :salute: and paint the interior cream. Maybe throw some BBS on the external walls :clap:
-
Good news! If you see your oil temp hit 160 there are some serious issues though! :shock:

Oooh oooh, I wanna read! :dorky:

Maybe she was reading lots of stuff whilst sitting on the fence and decided it's not for her. Maybe she enjoys the flame-saturated hater world of the Tex :shrug: :cuckoo:
-
Yeah, so Corrado G60 for the base and then 16v engine surely?
-
Yeah build over on the 'Tex, where everything costs about half as much as over here :sad: V8 content
-
Have you had any headwork done?
-
Winnage is built right in :clap: p.s. I dont care if this is a pearoast!
-
no dude, it's on the outside of the head. you take the little wire, and connect it back up. Well easy :salute:
-
*click* Ohhhhh,. I get it now. This thread is for people who actually believe that their Corrado is taken care of, and no longer a financial oddity :lol: :lol: :lol:

Whole sets of black doorcards go on the bay for between £15-25, or so I've seen.
-
Well if the date's on this thread are right, your build has been going on for a few years? No point rushing it now for the sake of having it done at a push :salute: p.s. My ARB looked identical/symmentrical :scratch:
-
Ah, dropping the frame must be horrible! I remember trying to undo the rear mounts to swap a steering rack out from the back and it was completely :brickwall: Good work with the build though :salute:
-
Any pics of where the subframe needed modding? Did the wastegate/BOV thing clear ok? Looks like it sticks out a fair bit.
-
That's better :salute:
-
Which sensor controls dashboard coolant guage?

:lol: Who knows mate, I always search but didn't find anything specific to Early 16v engines. Might just go ask on a Mk2 forum! :cuckoo: -
