For the 10mm ABS pipe retainer, I would try get a new one as they age harden with and turn yellowish with the heat.

Looks like a compression fitting. Take that pic and some measurements to a local Pneumatic's or hydraulic's supplier to get an exact match, as there are quite a few designs and sizes.

Don't worry about that wire, it is not used on the UK models. just tuck it away.

Rams, When on the rollers next week, keep an eye on the flexible inlet pipe running across the front, if it starts to 'shorten' under acceleration, your'll be creating a flow restriction. If it doesn't then your ok. just something to bear in mind to extract the most performance from your charger. Matt

Well done mate, Looking good. It certainly shows all the effort you've put in.

Just posted in your other thread, i'll post here aswell, my recirculating valve was plumbed into the fuel reg pipe via a t-piece from the manifold. Matt

to confirm if you initial thaughts are correct, if you look inside your boot, stuck to the either the inner plastic trim just below the boot latch or under the carpet next to the spare wheel will be a sticker with a paint code on. Or there is an orange sticker tucked behind the airbox on the inner wing also with the paint code. Matt

Just had a look on ETKA, the number clintg60-*16v posted was replaced in 1998 with 1J0 972 752, best to take both numbers in to the dealer when you order just incase, may save some time. Matt

2pin power plug from the seat loom is 161 971 988 C

What size tyres are you running and your shift rpm, you may get away with just change the ring and pinion gear to use 3rd instead of 2nd

Just curious as to why you're wanting to make 1st and 2nd longer?

Good looking corrado you have there, some cars look good with the sunroof ajar.

My car was fitted with a new set of elements 6 years ago, VW had a list of upholsters they used for interior repairs and ceased production parts. They were'nt too expensive either. Have you asked your local dealer? Matt

Just measured mine, centre to centre of the rearward fasteners on the slam panel ,measures 1187mm. Matt

Wow, he sounds a real nice piece of work. I've just read some of the other forums linked in the briskoda.net thread. hope he gets whats coming to him

Ron, Your in luck, see picture below, plug has about 450mm of wire.

I will have a look on Wednesday through my collection of spare looms. I'm sure i have one that i used to chop up for my traction control. Matt
