My 1990 matt black Corrado Valver - New wheels
boost monkey replied to luke w's topic in Members Gallery
Any updates on this? Get the wheels sorted? -
You'll need to change your sig now! Great work :D gonna go back and read it all through!
-
smoke just on start up is stem seals, smoke whilst booting is rings.
-
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
-
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.

My first ever Corrado! (16v tuning advise please)
boost monkey replied to Sparkkadian's topic in Engine Bay
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 -
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.

The Monkey's Daily - Mk2 Golf GTi 8v [straight through MOT]
boost monkey replied to boost monkey's topic in Members Gallery
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. -
Mk1 Polo, 16vt, 1000hp. Pure win.
-
Well, obsoleted parts will never come back. That is another fact. But you do make some agreeable points.
-
I can give you some grammar info if you like? Not every word needs a capital :D
-
I'm giving away parts super cheap on ebay? /plug
-
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.

We're Jamex.....I wanna Jamex with you.... eh eh...

i'm in ox with a pair of VGC grey ones, although I've promised the druver side to someone else. still interested?

It is quite tidy isn't it.

Charity rolling road day in norwich
boost monkey replied to Rob_B's topic in Event Announcements & Discussion
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. -
They really suit it. Good choice!
-
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.
-
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.

vr6 radiator ,late drivers wing,50 mm splitter
boost monkey replied to volksworld13's topic in Wanted
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 -
