  1. Well, I'm about to go and pick up the motor that I'm building my 16v on :D Also I'm getting ready to paint the car, pondering a new headliner, and about to order one of these bad boys:
  2. I'm building mine with a 16v head onto an ABA block. Would I get better results using the oil drive stuff from the 16v or from the ABA?
  3. That's what we thought at first. We took it apart and tested the original switches and found out that one of them was bad, so we pulled two more out of another motor that we tested to operate fine.

    Spoiler>>?

    I wish my situation were that easy :lol:
  5. Okay, I have my spoiler on my Corrado that doesn't work. We've tried multiple relays, all tested and they're good. Tested two different switches and they all have good continuity and whatnot. We can run the motor by itself off the switch (without the arms attached), and the motor is fine. We can take the entire mechanism (arms and all) and hotwire it off of the battery and everything works, it doesn't bind or anything. But as soon as we plug it into the wires on the trunk hatch, it doesn't work. We can run the motor through that plug and it works fine, and I tested everything else as I mentioned earlier and there was no fault. I've tested it and it gets 12v everywhere that it should. What's going on?
  6. But the negative side of that: Lack of money to provide fresh paint. :(
  7. Because I can't prove that someone else did it (even though I can't think of anyone who would do something like that to their own car), my insurance company won't do anything about because I could be trying to cheat them into giving me money to repaint it. My 944 got keyed about a year ago as well in a different location, or else I'd start to think that someone has it out for me. Unfortunately I have to go back to work tonight, and I'd rather have my car get keyed than one of my family members :(
  8. I'm still extremely upset, especially because I was taking her to a show tonight! I filed a report today and my insurance is refusing to do anything about it. I'm thinking I can get the paint and do it myself and still have it look pretty decent. Im pulling the block soon to do my 16v G60 and I was considering painting the body at that time, so this is pushing me to make a decision.
  9. Looks great! What does the decal in the last shot say?
  10. I'm looking to do a 16v G60 and I'm looking at an intake manifold, but the throttle body doesn't look like it's in the right place... Pic for reference: Is that going to be a problem, or is it fine?
  11. My Corrado got keyed while I was at work last night. I've never been this upset in my life.
  12. Nice job... I say leave the mirrors as they are.
  13. That's what I'm thinking. Although it could be a good time to educate someone new about the wonderful world of broken cars and empty wallets :D
  14. Back from the dead. Can anyone link me to a write-up about this?
  15. I'm all about originality. I was tired of looking at a red rado that doesn't really stand out, so I decided to make it a bit unique.
  16. I started to work on the rest of my interior yesterday. Changing the LEDs in the switches :D Unfortunately there's still two more switches to do, and one of the driver's side door window switches doesn't work. I think I know why though. Lights off:
  17. I think the ride height looks great.
  18. Thanks for reminding me! It was my passener wheel, so that would be your drivers side. :lol:
  19. Thanks for those, but no... It was a red Corrado. There were several other cars in the picture, but I don't remember what they were.
  20. I looked through the boards and couldn't find it, but I know it was on here. Anyways, a while ago someone posted a picture of a rally Corrado being thrown around a corner. The rear passenger wheel was off the ground. If anyone knows where this picture is, I would much appreciate it.
  21. I'm a sucker for white cars with black wheels. But lower it. :D
  22. Little does she know that you're definitely not kidding! Amiright?
  23. Check out both of these links. http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=1784212&page=1 http://www.herbys53.com/builds.php
