I know what Motec is. What is Motec Seriously?

That's really sad that the intake has to go over there! It makes all efforts of tuning the car in nothing but the deepest winter almost pointless. Why would you even bother tuning it with IATs so high..... *goes off to cry* ---------- Post added at 06:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:04 PM ---------- I just can't agree that 15degs is nothing. Maybe for a 6-pot but on a V5 there is still one unbalanced cylinder and therefore and resultant force. I did my diss on the VR6, I'm aware of the inlineness :)

What is Motec Seriously?

this has happened to a few other people on here when the bonnet pins give way. Look at Prodigal Son's thread (probs in archive now as he doesn't post in it much(. Depends how good your car was to start. If it's a good one probs worth saving, oitherwise might be worth shopping around for a new one.

Why is it airbrushed?

....So is this a no to the £50 for the shell delivered? How about Ham with cash your way?

Any idea what caused it? do you have any ICE without proper fused lines or anything like that?

I want to know how on earth VW managed to balance a V5 engine, and what the primary/secondary moments are. Perhaps it just has a dirty great big flywheel!

How are you getting over 10bar on the leakdown - your engine is only 8:1 compression ratio! Did you mean psi instead of bar? fact that every cyl jumped 1+bar between dry and wet might mean your rings are going. I know my 16v jumped a lot between dry and wet too.

Hey! I take offence to that.

So the intake runs over the hottest item in the engine bay....?

repairing a cambelt sounds like a real bodge as opposed to swapping it - why would anyone make such a thing? It just gives the Corrado more cause to bite you in the jewels!

True story. My DBP was 400 :D

sounds good. Sounds like it has 1hp more than my Corrado! :lol:

Really? how many cars are there in Scotland? 9?

You have a Corrado and you can't check it yourself? I hope you got serious cashola....

2 questions: Is your name really Paudie? What is a G Ladder?

ok ok so they're for your seat and not your wardrobe. But you enjoyed those pictures didn't you? I bet you're sat around, shovelling dundee cake crumbs in your mouth laughing like a schoolboy.

i'll take the shell at £50 posted?

bathroom sealant..... because you shower in hot oil everyday? ---------- Post added at 12:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:51 PM ---------- I still say go dry sump and have my sump pan which is less than 2" :D

Oh, who was that who has been praising POR for ages? :wave:

No idea what that's for. My guesses: the 80s are full of win.

are those chunks actually metal though? I bet you 72p that it's part of the windage tray thing you have got in there. If you're missing big chunks of that from the rotating assembly of your engine I doubt it would work as well as it seems to! ---------- Post added at 01:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:45 PM ---------- also your pickup looks OK to me :)
