tidy thanks Jim i will go back a page for the part but would appreciate if you could confirm the size? did the supplier put the direction arrow on it m8? you have solved why ive had gurgling behind the dash since the stealth head rebuild :D

have a word with Vince at Stealth - he remapped my VR after head rebuild, 263's & BMC & the map difference is awesome! :D EDIT - ive not gone to OBD2

hi m8 drop her a PM too as she may get a notification of it & you may get a response sooner EDIT - ha ha just as i was typing lol

hmmm i have a feeling the G60 hangers were different but im not 100% i did a LOT of research & phoning round about exhausts for my VR before deciding on Longlife

not sure about an off the shelf solution but Longlife will custom fabricate a SS on there for you i couldnt be happier with the one installed on my VR :D

what a very nice offer indeed!! someone relieve the man & quickly :)

me too - they rock ;) lol i can put up with a little bumpy for the handling they give - plus i found that once i had replaced front wishbone & rear beam bushes the ride was much more cushioned & less crashy ive done over 60K miles on mine so far, a quick jetwash with the wheels off & they look tidy still with just a little paint flaking off the springs

if going by dealer type prices then at least 12-15K i would say

i read this article yesterday & it seems quite pertinent http://www.collective-evolution.com/2017/01/31/a-simple-guide-to-stop-caring-so-much-about-what-others-think/

I agree with easypops Jim - be kind to yourself & stop being so hard on your rado body work can, & time given will be sorted. you have a lovely motor in it now too so throw away the thoughts of 'id like a modern engine in it', you have a cracking 12v VR6 that is the soul of the VR rado i think if you saw the state of my VR's body work you would be calling me crazy to spend £550 just on new front brakes!! but prioritising engine, suspension & mechanicals means i cant wait to get it back & hear the growl turn into a full on fecking roar & then actually be able to stop well lol that is despite it looking tatty & pap i too am going to go down the agreed value this year even with the paint as it is because the rest of the car, interior included, would be tough to replace like for like i have also been having an interesting conversation via pm with our new member grizzlybear. he hit a note that i had in the back of my mind about my Kamei kits - such that they are so rare barely anyone has seen them! i couldnt even find an image on google yesterday not many cars out there can hit notes like that :D

good info thanks i am thinking along the lines of your previous post, in that the buzzing is not due to a relay fault but an intermittent supply of power causing it to constantly flick the relay between on & off FYI i did try a new dash switch & that didnt fix it both my rados' seem to heal themselves with some things - EG the VR driver relay started to behave & then last week the rear screen heated function started to work on the valver....which it had never done since buying it back lol

good luck in your hunt, i have had a little a few times over the years but no joy the drivers side relay sometimes does the 'buzz' but it is intermittent. in fact, when i first brought the VR the drivers relay played up quite a lot but passenger was ok. i did swap the drivers & passenger ones round & found that the issue persisted. i have no clue why but it stopped buzzing one day when i tried it & so i left the dial in the max position. it kept working for a long while & only very occasionally now plays up ive not done any more investigations though but was considering checking the seat element & connections when i refurb the seats with glytone stuff i know that they guy who ran rayne automotive did sell replacement looms with relays at one point but he was a dead end when i contacted him to ask about the relays

nice start to your build thread m8 i am liking your borbet A's :D i think you need to put some coilovers on your shopping list ;) but make sure a good set! lol out of interest, what was found to be the issue with the sunroof & how did you fix it?

personally i like the way you cant really tell the difference when either wet or dry

interesting - i have the silent coat 2mm door packs on my 'to buy' list - i'd be interested to know how you get on with it

what he said!! lol

if it is an early rado they run on 195's rather than 205's - that could help how are you finding the RE002's odub? i love them on my VR :D

hi m8 ive just copied this link into the VW Corrado chat page on facebook as someone has advertised what you want (potentially) https://www.facebook.com/groups/VwCorradoChat/?fref=nf post by Michael Holmes at around 15.20 today

i wasnt keen on spacers either, never have been, but it was a case of needs must i dont think the 10mm will be very noticeable & should they have required a bigger spacer it may have made me think differently my issue was having to stay under the 15" speedline, no way i could afford new wheels, whilst trying to improve on the not so good standard brake setup what size are your RZ's? reason i ask is that the inner profile could well be different to the speedline such that you wouldnt need a spacer might be worth you giving HiSpec a call as they will get their CAD designer guy to do a technical drawing to confirm fitment/s - IIRC i spoke to Alex there

:D

not quite a 10mm spacer is required to stop fouling on the inside face of the wheel i did get HiSpec to provide the spacer but when received they were not hubcentric so i got myself some decent ones

lol i know Jim, i was just teasing lol

im not sure on the correct one but i can say you will be happy with it once fitted - oh the noise! only thing is that you will become more right foot heavy so as to make that noise lol

HiSpec do an alternative that is a proper caliper, rather than a sliding caliper mechanism, that fit under OE wheels i will let you know how they compare to standard soon ;)

no problem but do let me know if you want to borrow it
