  1. Inspiring dude, nice one. Some Corrado on Corrado open bonet pr0n too, nice.
  2. anyhelp http://the-corrado.net/.archive/forum/viewtopic. ... highlight=
  3. hehe Chamber Volume The volume of the combustion chambers is the final factor in determining compression ratio. The larger the chamber, the more volume is added to the cylinder and the lower the compression ratio; smaller chambers reduce volume and increase the compression ratio
  4. nice vid /me adds to his pr0n folder ;]
  5. heh, had a comment at work today about the rado too "old boy racer's car". wtf lol
  6. dub envy, don't know about spotting, but I think your a corrado stalker!! :D
  7. //rant Previous owner had problems too which i had to rectify, notable some f*kwits at halfords "bypassing" an immoboliser when installing the ice. So as soon as I got car bam new immoboliser. Next up heater controls (prolly some f*kwit b4 who'd had dash off) and heater core. Next up speaker dont work (as a result of some1 fixing the afformentioned problem). Next off to the specialists!! Lo and behold g60 rebuilt every good so far no.. later I find out that chargers been put back on missing a bolt and the holes threaded. More engine troubles later botched up and now I'm left with a car thats destined to rot in my garage until some1 buys it in its sorry state, or I can justify fixing it. Maybe thats best tho, I can look and admire it without some ar$3h0l3 breaking something else!!! //End Rant What's that saying like james may on topgear when he drove the countach? Don't meet ones idols or summit. PS. the stealers are f**kin joke too.

    is it chav?

    yep since no "MOTORSPORT" thats ok hehe
  9. There seems to been too much conflicting info on the net about this. If I'm not mistaken u need to contact VW with your VIN or gearbox code to get accurate gearbox info, which I've yet to do. btw can they just do a straight swap for 1st and 2nd? I've thought about just changing my final drive ratio on my G60 1CBA08071, may be less risky and cheaper I'm hoping. GL m8y
  10. right i got teh rado bentley manual a while back but i need another manual preferebly with pictures ;] maybe.. Volkswagen Golf and Jetta Mk 2 Petrol or VW Golf GTI Performance Manual by Tim Stiles do these cover the golf g60? Recomendations? Advise? I have no training but I got the time and resources to do it myself. Probably a stupid idea but I think the feeling will be awesome when the rado is back on the road. Regards Carl *edit totally re-written post
  11. //advise unless u got it cheap and are a diyer or got usefull m8s, get rid it could be trouble! coolant loss=not good your engine should not use coolant? check for visible leaks with engine running, check for white residue around flages/hoses gl m8y /me flips in a 2p
  12. need a to widen da motorway to fit all the muscle on it! :D
  13. :D Is it a g60 as I saw long red badge under the corrado one? looked beefy m8! went vwnw year b4 last was cool, but teh motors not well atm :( btw my g60 needs a health check, u'r a mech yeh? take a look for some beer tokens? :D
  14. H2 **W eastbound A55 up Rhuallt Hill following a golf vr 08:20. Looked good m8y!
  15. update ok so the cars done over 800 miles, coolant level aint budged. Car hadnt been holding boost in proper tho. Fixed boost leak to an extent (cheers olly) yesterday evening. Test drove, nice to have some performance back, turning lots of heads again :] didnt drive it that hard mind. Took it out for a 2nd run a bit later. 10 mile run thought it felt LUMPY in low rev range. Under hood this morning .... Engine idling, plumes of OIL VAPOUR from crank case breather. Small puddle after a min idle. Lost about 400ml oil in 20miles!!! Anyone got 2p? :D Compression Test :- Cyl PSI 1. 130 2. 60 3. 145 4. 150 Somethings gone again :mad:
  16. Phil, which noise do u mean? I removed to top cambelt cover. On closer inspection there are tiny metal filings in this area. VW changed belt 2 years ago, but they didnt bother with tensioner? Had recent head work aswell. When it goes in for service in next few weeks we will be investigating further, mech was keen on a sound coming from nears cambelt area tho. edit found that the bolt which holds the rear drive belt cover is missing and that the cover is touching the drive belt. I'll get that sorted c if it helps.
  17. g60. mic was placed at side of cambelt cover
  18. True... quiet worring the joiner who dissapeared recently could be trapped in my car. I'm also concerned about the tambourine man (5,9 sec...) tbh!
  19. Now for your listening pleasure. Moneypit productions presents... .. ..... Somethings up! But I ain't got a didgeridoo! .. ..... featuring some car noise Coming Soon.... I got intermitent crackle on WOT. (Yes another of my sos posts but I tried to make it interesting:)
  20. Dinkus, I've got a small drip on garage floor after car has been standing. I'm told it's ok to not fix it right away tho, but things will get worse eg oil on clutch. Give us time to save for gearbox, clutch and flywheel job I suppose!
