i couldnt figure out how to copy the post from my build thread with all the attachments but if you click below http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?t=44751&page=8 there are lots of pics of the Longlife exhuast

sorry i hadnt read the entire thread

After running the new exhaust for several weeks i really couldnt be more happy :D it was spring deep clean for the VR this weekend & during the many hours of washing/t-cutting/more washing/ultra deep shine/resin top coat etc etc i thought i really should clean the exhaust & take the pics to post on here. i have tried to show the install in full but couldnt get a nice pic of the bend work over the rear beam as i forgot to take them whilst it was on the ramps....

the person who built it had a thread & was posted n the advert by 87jetta16 http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?t=12027

whoa!! that looks rapid!

hello m8 sounds like some nice work going on - pics tell a thousand words ;)

put an ad in the wanted section m8 & ask some of the people in the breakers section too im sure you will find one out of interest, how were you unlucky enough to puncture your fuel tank?

try this one posted by leon earlier http://stores.ebay.co.uk/NK-AUTOMOTIVE/_i.html?_nkw=%22Corrado%20Genuine%22

nice leon thank you! :D

welcome, both of you :)

indeed she is getting a damn good wash & deep polish this weekend for certain

what a lovely start to a friday a nice little cruise down country lanes in the morning sun back in the VR :D

oooo you lucky boy! cant wait to see the videos :D jealous.com lol

thanks Andy - fortunately it wasnt anything nasty like a fried loom or fuse board (which is what i was dreading), it was a fuel pump deciding to let go completely. it no has a nice shiny new bosch pump :D appreciate your comments on the wheels too, im pleased with how they came out & all those sore fingers from hours of rubbing them down paid off just need to get the tires swapped onto them now

Oooo nice i saw sasha many a time & will never forget the renaissance night at hacienda in manchester - legendary venue!! a while ago a friend gave me a dvd with about 4GB of old skool mix tapes which he had digitised from his old rave tape collection. it is absolutely full of amazing dj sets from around '89 - '92 & has sets from notorious places such as eclipse in coventry, amnesia, starlight etc & other legend dj's like carl cox, top buzz, micky finn if anyone would like a copy i can burn it & post it if you drop me a pm

hello there, make yourself at home

tidy thanks jim i used to really like an online radio station that was oldskoolravers.co.uk but unfortunately when their server hosts changed they couldnt match the service & the site died :( they used to have dj's mixing live over the internet & a chat room full of like minded people such a pity it shut down

i too wonder that wullie i do know that if you have a modern chipped passport then the DVLA can use that photo rather than sending in a new one

last friday was a very much a 'booo & yay' kind of day all started with the VR letting me down for the first time out of the blue, i was nearly at work when total loss of power :( engine stalled as i rolled to a halt. fortunately it was in a nice section of road just after a long country lane & just before a very heavily congested stratford road, so she was nice to me i guess lol i switched off completely then tried to start but it would only turn over & not fire, all dash lights & temps etc were ok. popped the bonnet, no leaks, nothing obvious blah de blah. tried to start again, not firing & i couldnt hear the fuel pump running called RAC & a very nice chap turned up in about 15 minutes. upon exiting his van he greets me & as he is looking at my RAC card he says 'are you local? ive seen your motor around here many times'. we had a good chat whilst he was investigating.....she had spark & battery ok, checked fuses for fuel pump & checked the fuel pump relay, all looked ok but then he found there seemed to be an issue with power into the main fuse board :( very very fortunately he was able to get the car onto the T bar thingies that lower out of the vans & a while later the VR was dropped off at the mechanics. i say fortunately as he told me that due to the car being lowered if it didnt get on the T bar thing he would have to call a sliding base flat bed which would be chargeable!! ive not heard off my mechanic yet but im hoping it may just be a connection issue thus a very booo start to a friday BUT later that day i was sent a picture, again out of the blue, as my friend had finally resprayed my spare set of speedlines after i had hand prep'd them!! they are now sat in my nearly completed workshop & need new boots....pics attached just need the VR back now & then get them on

very sensible ;)

welcome, we will look forward to pictures :)

ha ha my point exactly! thanks easypops lol

holy mary thats one scary image but a damn funny one :D

i have a few but im not sure they will be of use...... why do UK petrol forecourts for the public not allow for vapour return at the pump as they do for corporate filling stations? (this is where the amount of vapour is registered for each filling session & the cost of such deducted from the bill - thus they get what they pay for but the public gets ripped off) why do modern TV's not allow 5.1 pass through from an external source? why do samsung advertise & charge for top of the range items when they build them with inferior components that are not fit for purpose & barely last a couple of years? why do the 'powers that be' insist on an electric or hybrid car being more 'environmentally friendly' than a traditional petrol car when it takes more energy to produce & transport the batteries alone than run a traditional car for a life time? why is it that as a UK resident since birth i have to pay for a prescription but someone in wales does not, are they not in the UK? why is it that in the past few years, & during which we are told we are in a recession & many of us are struggling to make ends meet financially or even feed themselves, the richest people in the UK have more than doubled their worth? why do we pay more for the same item in the UK than virtually anywhere else in the world? why is there an apparent cure for cancer in the US but it is not being reported on in the UK? why is it the media feel it more important to feed the UK continual junk about......what this famous person ate, how they had their hair done because they could not master doing their own hair when they were 5 years old, what that famous person shat etc etc...than actually report on what is important in the world? or the most important one......why do my sun glasses always slip off my nose? PMSL apologies if these are the type of things you dont want ;)

well said Jim honestly though, what else would you expect from the complete bunch of idiots who supposedly run the country for our benefit i mean, who knows of an MP who had to tax their own car....or even pay for the fuel put into it it just highlights what an absolute state this country is in with its jeremy kyle warped values where everything is dumbed down to the lowest common denominator
