I would give it a break if it wasn't for the fact that the brakes are one of the flaws.. :lol: :lol: :lol: I think the biggest flaw is that with all these flaws we still wouldn't swap it for anything else :clap: very good but a set of 312s do look nice and sort the problem out very cheap and the tt wipers help with vision yikes i see a bit of a tt take over coming on here even my pedals have been infected :lol:

you can mount your plate were ever you want on the bumper as long" as you said it not obscured" and visible from a reasonable distance this sounds like another jumped up cop with to much power going to his head when he knows nothing.

vtec is fine if you like reving your engine to 6k plus to get any power , for me i will stick with the vr i would have loved a vtec when i was 18 but now not a chance and as already said no soul in the jap crap. -

Which tools do I need for basic Corrado maintainence
paul20v replied to yorkshireone's topic in Engine Bay
the stealers sell them there around 8 quid for the plastic one. -
tt comps are laquered , i thought the question was for powder coating i know powder coating is an option on image wheels (not laquering) powder coat is normally a very good and durable coating all thou it does dull as you rightely said but i would do it to save all that polishing :(

not really an issue ....to a point you can pour neat fuel on an exhaust manifold and it just evaporates as there is no spark to ignite the fuel , brake fluid on the other hand will go up this is why newer cars tend to have there brake fluid reservoirs behind the bulkhead or away from the engine so in the event of an accident the brake fluid wont hit the manifold , the back end of the exhaust is relatively cold compared to the front so it was not an issue really .

thats human nature no problem any time :D

hi its self tensioning so no fears there.

a lot of manufacturers mount intercoolers in front of there rads , intercoolers have a high flow rate of air going through them so its not so bad, and your also not blocking all the rad with it anyway.
