hmmmmmm i will have a look, if i decide i still dont want to take it on i will give you a shout dude, iv done everything on the car myself so hoping i dont give in ha ha

yeh a rare newcastle spot it has to be said!

white VR heading south on the A189 past asda, i followed you through the 50mph road works then passed on the slip road, beeped and you turned away as if to say what a prick, obv not a corrado lover just drive one :epicfail: rob

lol cheers for the grom mate and as you can gues........its still in the car, i removed the plastic covers in the boot and went hmmmmmmm i have no idea what the hell im doing........please advise :-)

its in the pipeline, just need a grom to fill the hole, was hoping to do it before vw festival but couldt be bothered

poly bushes deffo make a big difference to the car, i recently did mine and its great compared to the old sloppy ones especialy under breaking....... what coilovers are you using as mine are wound all the way and the front of my car is sitting higher, i might have to invest in some uprated top mounts

cheers for the comments, its low but not low enough, helpers are coming out and new top mounts so i can stance it a little better then got some nice gloss black detailing to do, might be done for VW festival but then again it might not lol

word up dude, newcastle lad here get yourself on DUBnortheast

is mauve a purple colour?? i belive i may have seen this one aswell

iv also seen this one

bah my splitter is about that low and its just a tad broken, keep it how it is just watch your sump, im on my 2nd, correct me if im wrong but your splitter isnt realy that low either as its parked on a slope with the splitter above the flat?

looks about the same height as mine and my FKs also took some serious time and WD usage to wind them down, looks smart mate

its been a while so i now have some updates, since last posting i have wound the coilovers all the way down, bought and painted my new wheels, polly bushed the front end and fitted new droplinks so there has been plenty going on, anyway i will let the pics speak for themselves as usual any comments would be welcome

ok thanks peeps, looks like i have some serious saving to be doing!

what big brakes will fit under 16" wheels, hubs are 4 stud so i know im limited

thanks mate thats just the job

if the lines are the same on a vr as on a valver i had a problem with the lines between pump filter and accumultor, the pipes are copper ends with plastic bonded midway (i presume this is to allow flex) i had a huge leek on mine and found it to be that the bond had broken on the pipe. fresh pipes fitted and probem solved, if it is the problem i would change both pipes as a precaution but be prpared for the two sections i paid £70 from the dealer if it is the same im talking about parts 13 and 14 rob

can anyone tell me where the ignition module is located on a 8v rado, im unsure of the year of the car as im asking for a mate but any help would be appreciated and diagrams and pics would earn you brownie points :nuts: cheers rob

does anyone have a walkthrough guide on changing the timing belt on a 9a as i need to do mine, also are any special tool required, thanks rob

50p or so, my car is no where near the standard of most on here, :clap:

mine was awful on the drive down to lees to pick up a wheel for a sportka of all things but hell cant complain, its just nice to get some good weather, i cycle my daily commute so the weather is sweet, bring on the 7am ride home chasing rabbits over the feilds :-)

my car must be a bit of an oddball, windown power down with ignition but everything else stays powered up, radio must be wired backwards as the only way to turn that off is to remove the frot, saying that my car has some serious electrical gremilins that mean i loose all power to speedo, rev counter and backlights for both if i put the headlights on and with the headlights off both my oil and water tems go crazy so i would ignore anything electrical i talk about :lol:

ok thanks mate, plenty for me to think about there, im on the hunt for power but i realy like the way a N/A engine provides it power over turbos.

thanks mate, very good definition, have been looking at a few websites and people are saying around £550 for a head port on a 4pot engine, will a new exhaust manifold etc also help with the gains involved alongside cams

also how does skiming the head i.e. increasing compression improve performance on N/A cars?
