  1. They don't use road salt, I'd buy another in a heartbeat. No MOTs either lol
  2. Mine wouldn't idle, handbrake seized, battery had been charged but was an unknown quantity, ABS light a glowin and after manipulating all those upper deck girder / supports they parked me at the very front f the ferry on a ramp and a Lotus Elise right on my back bumper - its a good job they chocked the wheels!
  3. This one took some time to sell due mainly to location, some people won travel out of their county let alone fly and ferry back an unroadworthy car. I flew to the IOM and bought a Corrado back via the ferry to Cheshire, I've bought cars from Sunderland, Harrogate and Scarborough and spares from Somerset and the lake district, but I'm an oddball
  4. I was having a tidy up in the garage yesterday and found one of my fathers, I've no idea what he used it for.

    I used to use Premier garages an Indy in Leek Staffs and they were top notch, no pushy up selling or sterile environment.
  6. There's been some stunners broken up over the years because the sum of there parts far outweighs the prices people will pay for the cars whole and that will continue
  7. In the 10 years I've been here its never been any different, I've got a car that looks good from above, but looks like a Fiat underneath
  8. 944 outlaws on fb has people fitting turbo VR6s, chevy LSs 1.8ts etc
  9. Its a front mounted / rear transaxle 3L inline 4, not a rear mounted flat 6. I've always wanted a 944 S2, prices have taken off for decent ones, my next door neighbour has an air cooled 911SC for sale if you have £50K?

    Stainless hack!

    Our dogs go into a trance with the bing thing, in fact even the door opening without the bing sends them running towards it. I did once open the door quietly after she’d gone to bed and only found a plate, I shut the door quickly before I got teleported to a dark place. Surely cake only comes from Aldi?

    I’ve just had a word with the Mrs about buying an oven and apparently we’ve had one for 18 years, it’s the magic box where the hot food comes from!

    Vw1551 scan tool

    Was anyone tempted? I had a look at mine yesterday and it’s 1552 model, does anyone know the difference between the two? Does the 2 signify it being OBD2? TIA Found this for viewing at a later date

    I’ve got one (mine doesn’t have the printer), they don’t come up for sale often. Rarer than console gauges?
  15. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/133419533580 for he who must have everything period
  16. So they’ll be for sale somewhere else, what difference does it make? You’d still need to be fastest finger first? Put a wanted ad, list exactly what you want with a spare email address for contact. if there’s any free passes imo it should be for ex admin and mods, or significant others who no longer have a Corrado but have a wealth of knowledge and who’d increase footfall here with worthwhile advice - been there / done that etc.
  17. If you’re making money selling via the forum you should contribute IMO If you need something obscure there’s always the wanted section?
  18. You know James has been restoring a Campaign for over 10 years? This has been his daily
  19. I seem to remember VWAC magazine saying there was no advantage in quarter mile times between stock and VSR, the change over point is 4k RPM so after first gear (and wheelspin) you never dropped below 4K during the run. In gear acceleration was improved, 30MPH - 70MPH in 3rd for example
  20. VSR adds low down torque, no good on a high revving race car.
  21. Have you paid since the forum was rebuilt earlier this year? If not you need to re-subscribe and message toby to refund the non transferable payment to the old forum (if you want to).
  22. G60s had 15” steels to clear the front brakes
  23. I’ll post a pic tonight after work of how mine are fitted
  24. Also I’ve used mole grips to tighten the clamps up prior to fitting the bolts on other vws, just in the corner of the clamp leaving the bolt hole for the bolt
