hi Gregors check these out http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?t=89427&highlight=coilover cracking price if they are still avail!! I have V1's on my VR & tbh though I find the superb I would love to be able to have the adjustments available on the V3's V1's are cracking on smooth roads & the handling is awesome, I can only this the V3's will be so much more

PONGO!!!!! ha ha love it EJ GLWS

welcome, make yourself at home :)

Please accept my apologies Andy as i can no longer raise the necessary :(

hi andy did you manage to send the pics? thanks

thanks [email protected] :)

thanks [email protected] :)

hi andy im interested in these if the condition is right, do you have any pictures please? thanks

no probs jim - just thought id ask as the kris guide still has quite a few pics missing, though there are more than there used to be

Jim - did you manage to publish the pdf on the wiki i sent you which for which i managed to get most of the missing pictures (dead links) from kris's guide? in case the pictures are still not showing in his guide on the wiki i still havent attempted the valver's matrix as i now need to focus on other things to get a MOT on it

i like the idea of an app giving you warning bleeps but please dont be fooled by the old 10% myth - it has not been the case for many years i know as i have been stung by it twice in the past (around 10 years ago), both by unmarked cars, first was a 33 in a 30 zone & 2nd time was a 32 fortunately my insurer was very understanding & did not increase my premium on either occasion, after some very 'nice' talk & chat about it oddly enough i was reading about the below the other day....very expensive though... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/law-and-order/11292895/Device-that-tells-drivers-when-police-are-nearby-faces-calls-for-a-ban.html

hello there & welcome :) nice to hear of another in the worcs / warks area

ha ha ha brilliant chris - made me chuckle

boooooo!! thats my christmas ruined then :( lol

i checked my blackberry VR at break today, N reg 95, & it has an SK002434 VIN number not sure if that helps the storm ID'ing but thought id contribute i can check the gf's storm once i get home too & post that

Ooooo the SO range! i still remember how good the SO2's were when i used to run them on the valver years ago, they were awesome in the dry & you could barely tell the difference even when in the wet......& the SO3's were damn good too what wheel sizes have you seen the SO01's Kev? (they didnt come up as an option for 15"s)

welcome to the club :)

good info :D

ha ha cool - though im sure someone will pop up here to say you would be better investing in a 288mm or bigger brake upgrade but that means new wheels as dont think they fit behind speedline 15's

sorry to pollute your thread VR6 Gar but Bruntys dad - what light upgrade did you do? ive done a kur2y headlight loom upgrade twice & put in ring xenon ultima bulbs & the difference is awesome

Im thinking of red for a couple of reasons.... firstly, EBC have revised their offerings & whereas red stuff used to be mainly for track use they now have a yellow range which is aimed at track use & have moved the red stuff to 'faster road use'. the EBC page itself recommends red stuff for cars around & above 200 horses also from what i understand & have read the red stuff are also a much harder wearing compound, so should last longer than green, but are still effective when fairly cold as the reds can cope with higher temps than the green i would still have some reservation about running them on standard non grooved discs as previously mentioned the below link is the pad/disc combination guide from thew site i have used to order the items http://www.brakes4u.co.uk/ebcbrakes_recomended_c.asp hope that helps Ian

cool thanks for confirming Ian :)

yup that sounds about right - the noise is there when going backwards without any braking personally i really ike the USR & green combo but i will be moving to USR with red stuff upfront once the current greens have worn im not so sure as to how green pads with standard discs would be as the green pads are meant to operate hotter than a standard pad, so as to improve braking, & the standard disc may not deal with the extra heat well & wouldnt dissipate it as well as a grooved disc - worth a try tho

what kind of noise chuggs? is it like a high pitch whine? if so - i found that when i used genuine VW rear discs & pads they were god damn awful & used to produce the most horrible howling when reversing it was caused by the VW pads not being chamfered on the rear facing edge & that causes the pad to 'sing' on the discs you could remove the pads & manually grind a chamfer onto the pad rear edge as a possible fix however, i decided to grin & bear it until they needed replacing & then i moved away from VW disc/pad combination i also found that the wear rate on the VW standard was awful too, the discs barely lasted as long as the pads on the rear so with all of that in mind i decided to match the rear setup to the front & put EBC USR discs with green stuff pads i know lots of people on here are not so keen on EBC kit but ive found the above combination to be much more effective that standard VW discs/pads & further to that, due to my ABS being intermittent, i used to find the VW kit would lock up extremely easily under medium to heavy braking whereas i cant recall the last time i locked up on the EBC stuff. & yes i know i should fix the damn ABS lol
