  1. You'll need to change your sig now! Great work :D gonna go back and read it all through!
  2. smoke just on start up is stem seals, smoke whilst booting is rings.
  3. they mean higher mpg too :D If you can tell the difference between a few psi in your tyres, I'd say there might be something up with your suspension, or your wheels have VERY big sidewalls! :D
  4. I understand matey. They are both late. If the sale falls through for the other one, I will let you know that both are available.
  5. KR cams are better than ABF I think. Tuning your engine as is will be a good starting point. a *LOT* of work for VR6 conversion, unsure of G60. I know all the suspension and subframes are the same on the 4cylinder engines. Welcome to the forum. I see you have picked the Hero colour :D
  6. Yeah I thought the C had higher than normal pressures. It's prob what helps it handle so well. In contrast, the Mk2 Golf runs 29psi as standard.
  7. Ok so I'm looking at buying the clutch this week. Can anyone tell me whether it's worthwhile buying a new pressure plate (and 6 bolts from VW) at the same time as the clutch or if that's overkill? AFAIK I have no recollection of it being changed, so could well have 166k on it. Thanks :D Also, ordered a Gates cambelt. My current belt has a LOT of play in it, can flex it up and down by over half an inch. Little worrying.
  8. Mk1 Polo, 16vt, 1000hp. Pure win.
  9. Well, obsoleted parts will never come back. That is another fact. But you do make some agreeable points.

    Vr6 pcd

    I can give you some grammar info if you like? Not every word needs a capital :D
  11. You'll soon be joining the rest of us who have realised that renting a crane when you own a Corrado is a false economy, and will be looking to buy one! :D
  12. I'm giving away parts super cheap on ebay? /plug
  13. well yeah, the other 1.8 16v models like the Mk2 Golf GTi will be a direct swap. TBH, I think most of the other 1.8 engined models are a swap. It's one of those parts which is based on engine size IIRC.

    Jamex

    We're Jamex.....I wanna Jamex with you.... eh eh...
  15. i'm in ox with a pair of VGC grey ones, although I've promised the druver side to someone else. still interested?
  16. Hey matey, can't check that link out without registering but sounds like a great idea! Which charity is the money going to? Edit: Cancer Research. My reading skills are leet.
  17. They really suit it. Good choice!
  18. It's a cold hard fact matey. You will always make more money off a Corrado selling it as parts unless you paid thousand and thousands for it.
  19. I'm not gonna buy any of them mate so feel free(!). I'm concentrating on getting the daily straight more as she needs a clutch and a cambelt.
  20. Yeah I'm pretty sure they'll be quite similar. They're still wrapped up in my bedroom! Not even had a chance to unwrap them yet, but have decided to look for some earlies to fit the Plum better. I was thinking 50 posted, sound reasonable? I'll get some pics up though and we can haggle :D
  21. I'll get some pics, but the pass side of the pair looks like this:
  22. What wheels are they?
