  1. thank you gents! Very helpful. i will order some 5mm ones and longer tapered bolts. I'll see what i can do about the stud, Feels wrong driving this thing with 3 bolts. so annoying with the wheels i have on, cant be balanced correctly as keeps pulling to the right :censored: Cheers again guys!
  2. Need some help pwetty please!!! i have a 1989 1.8 16v Snapped off a wheelbolt in my hub :bang: After discussing the issue with a friend of mine, he reckons it wont be as easy as just drilling it out. So, a 2nd hub would be the easiest and cheapest option. Now the corrado and Mk2 Golf share the same setup up front AFAIK, so is it safe to say a mk2 hub will fit on no problem? he has an 8v hub sitting spare. But apparently the diffs are different sizes between 8 and 16v golfs and a difference between brakes sizes and caliper design. Another friend also stated that when he went to upgrade brakes on his 8v golf to 16v, he need the hubs also So the question is: Can i fit a MK2 hub, to my corrado? Does it have to be the 16v hub? Also, 9.5mm spacers appeared to be too big for for my new wheels to fit on the front hubs, so im going to order 5mm and hope it clears the caliper. however the liklihood there is that i'll probably still need longer bolts as i imagine it would only be the first 4mm or so of the bolts that would go into the hub. so what sort of wheel bolts do i need? how long are the standards? And lastly, the spacers i purchased were for all 4 stud vehicles, and so, aren't 'hubcentric'. Do i need spigot rings to fit spacers to the hub? Or is that not a huge issue as long as the wheels still fits on the hub? I'm obviously attempting to avoid the hundred or so quid for hubcentric adapters. Thanks you :) Bruce
  3. cheers mate! I'll be buying bits and bobs off ebay to keep cost down so will probably go for like 3.5 inch speakers. Too busy fitting a fully functioning sunroof ATM just want to get everything right before is start buying Thanks again!
  4. cheers mrbeige. You lost me a bit with talk of crossovers and mids :S but good advice on wiring mate thanks you! So i CAN fit anything from a 1" to a 4" speakers in the dash without chopping stuff yeah?
  5. Hello Guys, I'm quite new to this forum (never posted before but alwas looking!) I'm really just looking to confirm a few things with the the Audio buffs. I have a 1989 valver. and currently my sound system is pants. To be honest, they only thing i think works, is the dash speakers! I realise with it being the earlier model, it has no door speakers! So what i need to know is. Am i looking for 5.25" for a direct fit to the door pods. How difficult is it to run a new wiring loom to the HU from the doors and are there any tips on this? i.e can i splice directly in to the wiring for the dash speakers? What size are the dash speakers? I have used the search function and some posts seems to say use 1" tweeters, others saying you can use up to 4" 2-ways. And are there meant to be speakers in the rear? Who ever had this car befopre me put some sh**ty home made parcel shelf in there with some random set of speakers which aren't ever wired in. Any help is very much appreciated TAR!
