Hello. Just been reading the thread as above and Oz is a great place. Went over erlier this year and visited a mate in adelaide for 3 weeks and went up to the gold coast and sydney and had a look around, was the best hoilday ive ever been on and carnt wait to go back again, just got to decide how long for :) As above your car looks great and it must be really nice haveing sutch a rare car over there. A few people asked what i drove when i was there and they always seemed to like the sound the corrado's. Will keep an eye on thiss thread and see if anymore great oz pic's appear :D All the best

Hi, just wanted to say you car looks really good, was looking at the borbet wheels and now i want a set :)

Cheers, i do really like the look of the car with the 5 spokes but wanted to make some of my own changes to the car. One day i might get another nice set of 5 spokes :D

Right, havn't updated this in a while so thought i would as was online trying to shed some light on another fault ive got on my raddo (viewtopic.php?f=19&t=82177&p=952845#p952845) :( But i have also made a couple of changes since my last post :D Bigger front spoiler and yes i have caught it a couple of times :tongue: Ive had the cam chain changed and walst the engine was out i had the rocker cover and inlet manifold polished :) Also tried to tidy some of the cables up in the engine bay as it was starting to look a little bit rubbish. And fitted a BMC and enjoyed the sweet noise it makes(when the car runs) :D Aslo fitted the 1 peice scuttle panel to make it look a bit smarter. Got the car booked in for a respray in august too, hopefully will stop spending so much on it then :grin: Cool think thats everything, Cheers Ian

Right, got some more info now :) Had a good look tonight as the rain has held off for more than 5min and got myself right in and under the fuse box, started pulling cables appart and looking for signs as saw some cables looking not to healthy. Traced them through and they go all the way upto the speedo, looks like another cable had shorted against them and the resault-nothing working :( Managed to get the loom out and it needs replacing as lots of cores are melted together which leads me to my next question. Does anyone know where to get a new loom from? Is it a VW :( bit or does anyone have one that they would sell or is it something to look for on ebay? any :help: would be great. Thanks Ian

Hope someone can help me, think my raddo is trying to bankrupt me and it's trying my paticince too. Right the problem this time is all the dials have stoped working-rev's,mph,fuel,water temp and mfa. Have got the miles and time up tho. The story- just done the cam chain complete, engine out and everything looked at. Got the car back and everything is going great, loving driving it again. A week later jumped in the car and went to start it and heard a clicking noise from the engine bay rather than the car turning over, then some smoke came from the reagon of the fuse box!! :censored: quickly got a fire extinguiser and screwdriver and exposed the fuses and nothing. It had all stoped and nothing obviouse. Yesterday finally got some time and went to see if the car would start and to my supprise it did :norty: but with no dials :censored: . Tonight have striped the whole area down and carnt see anything obviouse like bunt cables or black areas. Only things that seem a bit strange is when you turn the key in the ignision relay 109 seems to click a lot?? I think the clicking noise when i turn the ignision on from the engine is the starter motor solinoide. Now im at a loss and loosing my paticince :brickwall: , anything to go on would be good :) Cheers Ian p.s sorry for bad spelling, im rubbish at it :cuckoo:

Cheers all :)

Have got the new wheels all fitted now and thought i would put some pic's up, still gona keep the old ones tho for spairs i think. Just got to adjust the ride hight a bit and have ordered the new 90mm front splitter. Will hopefully fit it later this week when it comes :)

Well as with all red car's it looks good now but thats is because i polished it last weekend before a show and give it another week or two in the sun it will be pink again :( , also got some lacquer coming off on the rear roof bit and someone obviously did a bit of a bodge spray on the drivers door and the lacquer is coming of there to. Also the paint on the bonnet is starting to go off as when it rains i get loads of water markes on it where the water sits and you carn't really polish them out. Its not really bad and most of my mates think it looks really good but ive noticed it and it bugs me so think when funds allow it it will get a spray i think. Also got to get the arches rolled on the back so no dout the paint will crack there. All good fun tho :) Just carn't beat the noise of the VR6, well maybe a charged or turbo one :D

Well i looked at the bottom of the car now ive lowered it and the sump is below the line of the spoiler so i thought maybe the 90mm would give me a warning of its gona hit the sump :shrug: but do agree it would be a lot lower. Only good thing is its more of a weekend car as just dont have time in the week to get out in it :( I like the wheels that are on it but one is ummm damaged and really needs changing and there the ones that were on the car when i bought it so i thought i would go for something diffrent and give it my own stamp(also another near exact one is going around where i live and stange people keep flashing and waving at me) :lol:

Just thought i would post some pic's of my car as ive just signed up. Had it around 2 and a half years. have got Weitec hicon tx coilovers, 17inch alloys (soon to be changed), cat back stainless steel exhaust and M3 style rear lights, there are a couple of other things to :) I am looking to put some 16inch alloys on it and want a 90mm front splitter for it, also could do with a respray. There the plans for the car just waiting for funds to allow it :clap: Cheers all
