:lol: i'm sure they can hold their horses!

had a composites lab and played with carbon fibre tonight, that was pretty cool. Prepreg stuff it was, all sticky :nuts: gotta write a report on it too, i'll try to get some pics up of it soon.

sorry about the earlier pram toy flingage, if someone could hand them back up I might stop crying :nuts: Jon, I'm alright cheers mate. going back to standard! although the car isn't going to be done until well into 2009 with my lack of time / money / health / energy atm. Guh. Is this what getting old feels like?!

you're overlooking the search.

3corsameal, if you could stop hijacking both my current threads that would be really helpful! It's a bit sh

:nuts:thanks Rob and 3corsameal for the massive thread detour!

edit: never bothered cleaning old springs to the point of IDing their colour codes so back to the drawing board! maybe i should just put them on. elite dragster status won't fail an MOT unless the inspector is a Mopar hating SOB.

quicky, were the hanger adjustments cos your 2ltr has bars and the golf has hooks, i.e. do you think the system would have fit straight away onto an early corrado with hook fitments? Cheers.

Cheers davidwort, not just a PAS pretty face huh :norty: :lol: why does ETKA/VAGCAT list the KR under early AND late? What was the definitive cross-over year? :scratch: The springs are deffo ORANGE YELLOW YELLOW as opposed to the GREEN ORANGE they should be? so looks like my car is gonna be taking on dragster status then, although seller just confirmed they came off a G reg so i'm bigtime confuzed. TBH, I'm gonna go away and flick through my photo library: if i used to have OYY springs on then it'll prob be fine :| *always causes a problem*

Hi all, can someone confirm that early springs are actually shorter than lates? IIRC, the set of lates I had in my shed back in the old house were maybe 20mm longer than the earlies when stood side by side and I'd like to know as I've just bought some "early" springs which seem to be lates (they're ORANGE YELLOW YELLOW colour coded which is late AFAIK?) also, will there be any problem with regards to compatibility with other early rear suspension hardware that I have got to assemble the rear struts? Will i have a serious rake wagon if i fit them? :lol: Thanks, Jon. p.s. yes I searched.

Please see my original post :|

sounds like it might be pivoting on the top rear mounts and wobbling on those so to speak. are you replacing the suspension any time soon?

If you're referring to Mikki Jayne, she's in Devon AFAIK, and easiest to find on the tex.

yeah, seems to be G12+ replacement. I got a couple of bottles with my water pump.

can i burst the 5 sebring bubble and point to my spare wheel well? nice spec on the other stuff though :salute: p.s. isn't Toad's hedge wedge the Tipp-Ex masterpiece?

Pics / suspension fun won't be happening today as I (fortunately) remembered a coursework deadline for tomorrow. Stay tuned plum groupies.

Ahhh Plodigal Sannn, konichiwa! *gong* I will get pics sorted soonish :salute:

Rear springs came today (cheers Dave!) still got their waxoyl on so i'll have to give them a scrub tomorrow. Then full assembly once I sort out the 1,075 washers and bits that are needed! I can see why people buy coilovers now :pale:

weight saving on the move when it oxidises? :lol:

amazing updates Pete! you will be like a fat kid in a bakery before long :clap:

that bosch book is really good, wouldn't mind picking up a copy sometime!

Jump on!! Turbo fun for all :lol:

oh really? i'm pretty sure their ebay pic just shows the tank as white without markings. Fair enough.

coolrado, I'm pretty sure bore 1 runs the hottest. Just the design of the block really, my #1 cyl always seems a little more battered than the rest!

I wouldn't recommend using nitrous to increase an engine's lowdown power ever. Ever. :ignore: Funny post though, gave me a chuckle :lol:
