Had a quick work with crazydave... VW can't specify when the stat housing will arrive... :scratch: i hate dealers! and apparantly they don't do the rear top mounts anymore! sigh... thats a pain... Dave's gonna check the state of the original top mounts to see how they are... if they need replacing, gonna have to source alternate parts... I'm also told that the bores are very good for the age of the car and that it'll run sweet when the engine work is done! :)

He started it! :camp:

Cheers bud! will have to meet up soon after i've got the work done! :)

I don't want to anyway... cos with all that is wrong with my car, it's still puttin more power on the road than urs, even with that extra 10 BHP from the flywheel that u have! :tongue: ha ha your so funny the only thing yours is putting on the road is oil mate :lol: Not for long!

I think i'm quite lucky to have had it seen to when i did i suppose... i never killed the engine! it's still alive..... sort of...

Yey! update time!

TopGear review... [youtube:3hnzvvem]HJJZe_vXfHE[/youtube:3hnzvvem]

ohh im sorry it doesn't meet your high standards KRIS! we can't all steal our mothers Garage! :lol: :tongue: It is a little small though. However there's a good few meters at the bk of the car so enough room for a bench and tools etc.[/quote:36kpc30v] God ALEX! the space for my tools is bigger then that corner of "space"... :tongue: on a serious note... at least you have somewhere tyo keep it! :)

that garage looks.................. cosey... :roll:

i don't believe so... it's something silly like £300k No, production starts in December 2010. The LFA is powered by a 4.8L V10 that generates 552 horsepower at 8,700 rpm and 354 lb.-ft. of peak torque at 6,800 rpm. The engine is mated to a six-speed Automated Sequential Gearbox (ASG) with paddle shifters. It is capable of reaching 0-60 mph in 3.6 seconds and has a top speed of 202 mph. List price is approximately £250,000.[/quote:36rw92mn] Ok Mr Lexus salesman! :lol:

Oh... and as alex mentioned... Welcome to the joys of Corrado ownership! :clap:

Holy crap! It looks like ur engine went mud wrestling and lost!

dunno what i think about the car... i got pissed off with the dude reviewing it about 30 seconds in and turned him off... :gag:

I'd agree with vince on this one... simply because the same thing happened to me... 70mph on the outside lane of a dual carrigeway the heater matrix decided to blow, windscreen misted up instantly and i coudn't see sh*t... steam bellowing out the vents and dash... opened the windows and we looked like we were on our way to a dope smoking contest... had to ace ventura the car to safety before i could let the bugger cool and perform a matix bypass... luckily i didn't get boiling water on my feet... just the bloomin electrics! :bad-words:

It's a tuff one to call really... cos you see drivers like that all the time, and you can't help but hope that they crash and burn somwhere away from everyone else while you pootle along past them laughing your ass off as they burn in hell for thier stupidity............ or is that just me? anyway, it's really is a case of, 'what can you do?' Will anything really get done about it if it is reported? i personally doubt it... a part of me thinks "ok just get out of this lunatics way, you'll end up with a sevearly dented rado" another part of me thinks "who the f*ck does this fool think he is?! am i on this twats road?! hell no!! right dipsh*t, you're not gettin passed, AND i'm gonna do what i can to piss YOU off as much as you have pissed ME off! fighting fire with fire baby!!!" again... probly just me... TBH, i just stay outta thier way most of the time... not worth damaging the rado for... :)

ok so this isn't forza, bot it would make a sweet banner pic!!

My photoshop doesnt work! :( well here are some piccies i got... can anyone do anything with em?

Being for the benefit of Mr Alex RR day at stealth in november [youtube:32e0z61w]GelNiTeJ4XY[/youtube:32e0z61w]

some distressing news... the car won't be ready for this saturday... :( the bits won't be back from powder coating in time... so it seems that i'll have to wait another week! Oh well... will just be that much more sweet when i get it back! :D

Yep! the motor is in good hands! :grin:

:lol: well this was my worry, that we get started and find that there is something that leaves us in a ditch! as far as i know it's still on for sat... i think... :confused4:

I'm not sure actually... still waiting to hear back from Dave on that one... not really bothered if he doesn't tho it would be nice... :)

An update from DG auto...
