hello there have you got a tool to check the voltage at the headlights? not that is really matter as I would imagine that you are suffering from the usual standard headlight loom function - such that the voltage has to travel from the battery to the dash headlight switch & then back to the lights themselves. this results in a less than satisfactory voltage at the lights themselves & as such you get candles for headlights the easy fix is to get yourself a headlight loom upgrade & some better headlight bulbs the loom upgrades are an easy install, but make sure you don't get an ebay special as they tend to be inferior, & essentially re-route the voltage so as it doesn't go to the dash switch & thus the lights get the full 12v+ the need these are popular now that some other users no longer make them on this forum..... http://www.rayneautomotive.co.uk/corrado/25-uk-spec-corrado-uprated-headlight-loom-.html?search_query=corrado&results=2&cate= personally I have a KUR2Y uprated loom (he used to make & sell them on here) & use ring xenon ultima bulbs

I see - thanks that what I was guessing not sure from memory if the one I have has a twist or not - will check tonight

pretty sure I have a good quality one in my workshop - I can check tonight, take a pic & let you know tomorrow if you want? what do you mean by plain stem? EDIT - just in case.....I got a nice stubby plain stem one from my local motor factors for less than a tenna ;)

switchable is definitely the first place to look then just in case you haven't one to hand, rado fuse box diagram... http://forums.kilometermagazine.com/showthread.php?4690182-94-SLC-fusebox-diagram Oh & scotch eggs with runny yolk!? Pls divulge on such treats?

would the switchable live not feed from the ignition switch? thus giving you a starting point as if the cars starts then the source has the correct feed & it is failing somewhere along the line

that is an odd one - you obviously have a working switchable live somewhere else you would be getting ignition problems I would check fuses but also try & trace the switchable live to see if it has a break in it somewhere I believe it is ok to put both feeds together but the disadvantage of doing so would be that your stereo will be permanently on & as such could be a drain on the battery

worth trying swapping the permanent & switchable live over normally when a stereo loses settings after being turned off it is due to such however, unsure why it would sometimes not turn on with ignition & sometimes not

no probs m8 :)

cracking idea wendy - we can all customise lol

take a look here m8 http://www.liquidleather.com/ the kits they do here is meant to be the daddy of leather seat treating / conditioning / restoring

that is a nice post to read first thing on a Monday good news Karl :)

not sure but I think I have seen one of the rocco's on here, possibly

thanks chugs nice pics, poor description lol

here you go chris & anyone else https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=corrado+paper+model&biw=1262&bih=663&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=ujyWVZ7SB8XH7AaFmbiIAw&ved=0CAYQ_AUoAQ I just put "corrado paper model" into google & then clicked on images

Tan m8 you forgot the 'very shiney!!' part ;) lol

favourite - thanks sanky

again, cracking info thank you im currently running standard calipers with EBC USR disc & green stuff pads all round & thinking of going for the red stuff pads next time the hispec sound like a good option to get better braking but retain the speedlines - I have no idea when I could stretch funds to bigger wheels to fit brembo's for example

tidy! thank you kindly for your replies 1 last if I may - how do you find them in comparison to the old standard brake setup?

sorry, I did mean just the size of the rotor in terms of standard ive had a look at their site & can see they do options for rotor size have you any idea if when using a 280mm rotor they will fit behind 15" speedlines?

good feedback thanks dragon did you increase rotor diameter or do they fit onto standard size VR discs?

many thanks Yan I will keep this info in mind. I keep seeing hispec pop up quite often & wheeler dealers had some made & fitted to one of the cars they did

drop daves16v a PM in the supplier section & see if he has any built & ready sometimes he has one or two in stock with a decent dremel it shouldn't take long to fit & it makes a very positive improvement in gear selection

sorry m8 I couldn't resist the question / tease lol good man though, im sure it will be fun taking anything down the strip have you got a short shifter fitted so as to avoid any possible 2nd to 3rd issues? lol

HiSpec 4 pots, nice do you mind asking from where & how much Yan? thanks

oh really, does this imply something m8? ;)
