yes you must change the chip if changing pulley size. fueling will not be right otherwise.

http://www.oichan.org/mods/key/switchblade2.htm i used this guide but didnt use the connectors he used i soldered and heat shrinked mine

i'd recommend you try john at http://www.johnmitchellracing.co.uk/ hes a very helpful chap, he did a big valve head for me few months ago

would this work? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/331394382540?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&var=540574768694&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

its all ways the stupid things that get ya! just out of interest have just brought your plate or are you the one trying to sell it? seen it for sale all over the place last few months. i was well tempted:thumbleft:

does your g60 have the pressure relief valves connected between the inlet and outlet to the heater matrix? if these have seized like mine did you would have problems like you describe. i believe these valves were fitted as a recall and not available when i asked vw years ago. i by-passed mine

i brought one recentley from vw heritage https://www.vwheritage.com/shop/corrado/cooling-system-heater-parts/cooling-system/

ive been looking into manifolds recently and some come with an apaptor like in this photo i saved [ATTACH=CONFIG]81043[/ATTACH] dont know if this may help?

what engine? and what airfilter? you looking at

not what you were asking i know but vw heritage sell them early and late versions, although seems to be a different material to oem? https://www.vwheritage.com/shop/corrado/535823101/bonnet-sound-proofing-for-corrado-models-92-95/?crumbStartPage=1&crumbStartRow=1

first computer was an Atari ST 520 1/2 mgbit it had the brand new format ........a floppy disk drive....outrun, lemmings & super hang on was the games i played LOL i must be a bit younger than you guys LOL

thats looking awesome mate:thumbleft: love the roof. amazing what a differance it makes i toyed with smoothing mine but body shop said filler would sink after a few years and would need a metal plate welded in first just wondering how you done yours?

i would call the fitter out to sort it, it should come with at least a years warranty? the last thing you want to do is squirt in lots of sealant and block the drain channel or seal in water stu - autoglass fitter

dam i allways miss these things i live in ipswich too..... ill join the que for them m8:thumbleft:

i had same problem recently i whacked a multi spline socket over it with a hammer then just undone it good luck :thumbleft:

link to guide http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?t=45452&highlight=heater+matrix+guide

the clips that hold it on often break resulting in being glued on you can use a knife to cut through the glue holding on the scuttle on, its was a right pain. if the fitter has primed the scuttle before glueing you'll never just prise it off. i have also used cheesewire http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/WINDSCREEN-GLASS-CUTTING-OUT-REMOVAL-WIRE-GOLD-BRAIDED-22-metres-/121388016229?pt=UK_Cars_Parts_Vehicles_Other_Vehicle_Parts_Accessories_ET&hash=item1c434a2265 be careful they are obselite stu - autoglass fitter

same here on chrome untill i installed the above and ipad too...

i would be more worried about where they got in?

thanks for that mate

Hi there looking for a part no or where to buy these handbrake cable clips. I have put a 1995 rear axle on my 91 g60 and they changed how they fit to the axle. the early ones slide on these ones push on. [ATTACH=CONFIG]80269[/ATTACH] picture above of the late style one i require thanks stu
