5 Corrados (2 VR's, 2 16v's G60), 2 Honda Civic VTI's.

Cupra looks better than the R32 imo and is much more tuneable. Cheaper too!

For motorway runs you should be seeing at least mid-thirties consumption in a valver.

NG, well, not every car is the same, and it would seem that the 1.8 is a little more thirsty than the 2.0, but not by much. Also, it obviously depends how you drive it- keeping it in low revs = better consumption. 31 mpg does seem very low for a valver on a 50 mile+ journey. I get better than that in my VR! Sounds like something could be wrong. Any suggestions?

Yep, did indeed for £20 a pop from Schabak. Everyone just seemed to think it was too expensive and no one signed up :?

Under the rear armrest? Had one there in my G60- fitted in fine.

Mine too, actually. My whole interior could do with a really good clean- outside looks good though- just given it a wash and fitted some new Richbrook VW dust caps 8) Will probably only last 5 minutes though with all the chavs around here!

The BMC CDA is a nice bit of kit- bit on the expensive side though. Apiro do one that's pretty much identical at half the cost... Kev and Dan, what's the sound like with the BMC? Louder than stock?

:lol:

Blimey, Kev what have you been carrying around in your boot then? It's a disgrace! :wink: :lol:

Get yourself some aluminium tubing, remove the carbon canister and re-locate your cone behind the front bumper. This will give you excellent COLD air flow. Just bought a kit from Intake_power on US Ebay for £50 (including the K & N cone!). Arrived after about a week. The tube is a few cm's too short, but the seller is sending out a longer coupler, so should have it up and running in the next few days- IMHO this is by far the best route to take if you want an induction kit. Just got the cone on at the moment, and there is a slight power loss when the engine is warmed up. Sounds great though :twisted:

Had some fun with a Pulsar GTi-R the other day- was a bit worried as he pulled a couple of car lengths up to a tonne, then I reeled him in so quickly I was actually a bit surprised!

Hmmm, that's not great consumption. On a long run in both my valvers used to get at least 36mpg and sometimes 40+! Around town, on way to work etc used to get at least 27.

Kev, that indeed is very sweeet! Wish I was rich!

2 litre bottom end, 50mm golf inlet manifold, Weber Firebreather throttle body... if you can find one!

Know what you mean with the money :roll: I'd set aside a bit for a new exhaust and suspension, but it's pretty much all gone on other 'more important' stuff, so they'll probably never get done now :cry: as all my savings are going towards a new car next autumn. Do they have a nice shiny, glossy finish? If so they've been laquered. Worth doing IMO.

Look really good mate! Have they been laquered? Now you need some smoked side repeaters to go with them! ps- think these look better than all reds would on a green car :wink:

Don't think you have to jack the engine up for the front mount. You'll need a good extension for the torque wrench! Whereabouts are you in the SE? Canterbury Car Colour and Jacksons (also in Canterbury) are good bodyshops.

Thanks Supercharged- I'll try that. Yep, got a firewall running- never had a prob with GSF before though. Odd!

Hmmm, will have to try from work tomorrow- still can't get it at home. Cheers guys.

carpoid, that's the address I've been using, and it still won't work :? Anyone else having this prob, or is it just me?!

Haven't been able to get the GSF website for a few days now- anyone know what's happened to it? Cheers.

Nikki, must have been you- asked him today and he said a woman was driving- what are the odds of that?!

Nice one, Dave! :lol: :lol: :lol:

One of the kids in my class has family in Bromley and visits regularly- said he saw a C the same as my old one last time he went! :D Could have been you, Nikki! 8)
