    Well, coilovers are on :smug:. Took some pictures tonight but the fading light means they are a bit grainy. Really pleased with how it sits, it's still bedding in but I might go a bit lower at the back and a bit higher at the front we'll see.

    Ok, so this is just a bunch of pictures for now, I know how you all love pictures! This is what the car looked like two years ago on the day that I collected it. Tatty but not bad for a £500 VR6

    So, inspired by Alex's member thread, I have decided to centralise all my 'to-do' lists so you lot can read it and I can keep on top of it. My Corrado has pretty much been off the road for two years now but in 2011 I AM going to get it sorted! I will do a second entry with the history of the car later in the week, and I will include some pictures. I am going to try and be organised by sorting my list into sections, I'm hoping I can group them together so that all the bits in each group will be completed at the same time. So here we go:
     
    Section 1 - Starts 7th March
     
    New front tyres
    New suspension top mounts
    Fit coilovers (need to source a C spanner!)
    Oil & filter
    Air filter
    Spark plugs
    Coolant change
    Charge battery
    Investigate exhaust leak (probably down pipes)
    Run VAG-COM diagnostics
    Free drivers side central locking (stuck locked)
     
    Section 2
     
    Find & fix coolant leak
    Check CV joints
    Check wheel bearings
    Check all lights
    Check earth straps on bonnet, throttle body, and gearbox
    Check vacuum pipe to ECU box
    Check power steering fluid level
    Check clutch fluid level
    Clean the idle valve and throttle body
    Fit new window rollers
    Strip out factory alarm
    Install headlight switch fire prevention fuse kit
    Gear box oil change
     
    Section 3
     
    Fix windscreen leak
    Reinstall interior
     
    Section 4 (Brakes)
     
    288 front brake upgrade
    Mk4 rear brake upgrade
    Braided hoses
    New fluid
    Check handbrake operation
    Check brake lines for signs of damage or corrosion
    Check rear break compensator valve is operating correctly
     
    Section 5
     
    Tint rear lights red
    Buy and fit rightclick keyless entry system
    Grease seat runner, door handles, door latch
     
    Section 6 (Stuff on the list with no time scale attached - misc items)
     
    New filler cap gasket - 535 862 287
    New ignition switch
    New fuel pump, crank sensor and coil pack
    New rear tyres
    Fuel filter
    Lupo or TT wiper upgrade
    Get spare key cut
    Check Opertation of Spoiler and lubricate with a dry teflon based grease
    Check Window operation and grease guides if needed
    Check Sunroof operation and condition of seal, and drain holes
    Check Underseal (under car)
    Check plugs 1 and 6 periodically for oil fouling
    Slacken the serpentine belt and spin the tensioner pulley, checking for stiffness
    Check serpentine belt for cracking and splits
    Listen to the gearbox side of the head for chain slap noises
    Periodically check the lower half of the front engine mount for splitting
    Buy and fit audioscape door pods - General audio sort out
     
    I know that some of these jobs will take two minutes whilst others will take hours/days and the list will obviously evolve over time but it's a pretty good starting point. If anyone is wondering, a few items on this list came from the old servicing guide in the wiki.
     
    Thanks for reading.
