you can hear for yourself - http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?44751-g0ldf1ng3r-s-VR6-amp-1-8-16V/page7 ;) couple of videos on there & pics on page 8 i love it though & it has gotten better with age in terms of sound in fact there are currently 2 reasons i cant wait to get the VR back.... 1. to test its new 4 pot HiSPec Billet 4's but also 2. because i have missed the burble i can get when downchanging, ooo its sooo nice!! unfortunately i couldnt get the video to capture that but it will give you an idea & then i wrote full review type details on the updates on my build pages

just to let you know Longlife in birmingham managed to fabricate a new SS on my lowered VR with everything in situ - it was £400 with hiflow cat

hi delfinis when it starts rough, having been stood for a couple of months, do you find it clears up with a good run? reason i ask is that the VR is sounding rough after starting & i am unsure if it is due to not being used since beginning of december or if i have an ISV niggle upcoming. i dropped it off at my mechanics at start of dec but it had to wait for HiSpec to manufacture the calipers & then christmas & my mechanic being ill. he said it was struggling to idle when he last moved it

a millions times these! i have ran avons, continentals, michelins & some others & for my VR i will only runs RE002's this is due to their performance, both wet & dry, but also for their wear rate. plus from what i have read, the bridgestones have a more firm sidewall which gives amuch better feel & response when driven hard example being - in past i had some avon zv5's which only lasted about 6k miles on the front - compare that to the over 15k miles i have gotten out of the bridgesstones i would also stick to the 205/50/15 where possible

ha ha i bet you looked like a dog getting air!! pmsl fortunately i fixed the matrix last summer so i have heat of some form but i didnt reline the air box flaps when i had the dash out - doh

My VR is fairly pampered but i am not lucky enough to have a garage so the paint has suffered - i used that every day for 5 years & it was nice in the winter, what with the heated seats & how quickly it gets warm in the cabin that was until i brought my valver back as that now gets used in the winter - though it has been quite a bit colder due to my hearer box flaps needing to be relined lol

ha ha i would agree with the latter sentiment Jim lol i belive the element repair is similar to how you would repair the element in the rear screen

i think they are available from Heritage but likely to be expensive. i have read about people fixing the existing elements where there is a break in them

lol that is another option :)

good question easy no part listed on GSF a quick google & i can see the fuse/load info for the galaxy heated seats... 3, Brown, 5amp ABS, ASR, ESP, Cruise, Aux Heater, A/C, Alarm, GPS, Heated Seats, - See more at: http://www.forum.fordmpv.com/smf2/ford-galaxy-reference-library/ford-galaxy-mk2-fuse-information-circuit-and-rating/#sthash.ufmDQzw4.dpuf i would take an educated guess that if the rado also uses a 5amp fuse for the heated seats there is a good chance the relays would be similar if not the same as surely a relay is a relay as long as the incoming/outgoing loads are the same EDI: i can find one for a mondeo....hmmmmm

hi m8 no ive not had the seat out yet plus the VR has been at my mechanic's since before christmas & prior to that the relay wasnt playing up like it used to - i wonder if me leaving it in the 'on' position all the time helped it sort its own life out lol i think it will be a spring job now but i will try to remember to update here or my build thread once ive had a look

my VR looks lovely - if you raise the bonnet & dont look at the bottom of the wings lol

oooo go on lad :D

ha ha no my mechanic has been ill & it was christmas 3 days after they arrived the brakes are fitted, as per pic in my build thread, but the sill hadnt been welded i have the valver to use in place so am pottering in that. got 34.5mpg on the MFA on my 14 mile journey to work this morning, not bad for an old bird :D

that is pretty much what dragon said Mic cant wait to get my VR back & give the Billet's a try :)

tidy i had a good look at a delorean at the end of last year as i spotted one parked up by where i work we have a guy that comes to the gym next door in a DeTomaso Pantera too - ooo the noise from its V12!!!

unsure for brembo's specifically i do recall dragon saying that hi HiSpec 4 pots gave a spongier feel than standard but believe they were still very good at stopping i hope so as i have just had some Billet 4's fitted

thats a good idea - like an old school charcoal rub we used to do at school it could then be scanned to produce a 2D template & the 3D work done from there

i wouldnt know without checking but the page does state healightS as in the plural i have just noticed they also have just the end internal part that adjust the light http://www.tdnparts.com/corrado-euro-light-adjuster-knobs/

there is this http://www.tdnparts.com/corrado-euro-light-adjuster-kit/ as an alternative i ended up buying a pair of used full set headlights in which the adjusters werent broken & then frankenstein'd the ones in my valver with the donors

i believe it may be & IIRC some people have deleted all together

there was a thread about similar last week - http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?96246-New-road-tax-classification the part i gleaned from the auto express article was " It's important to emphasise that these tax changes do not apply retrospectively so only new cars bought after April 2017 will be taxed under the new system."

really? when i brought mine VW wanted to sell me half of the air intake as well as the valve - whereas ford split it to just the valve however, i have rang ford & yes they are now £62.50 with the vat - double the price since 2009 WTF ford lol they have to order in from factory maybe try Thursdave on here as it is a light item for which postage may be cheap & thus possibly help save a bit of money if it is split around the center it is possible to glue them back together

hello there ford used to be the best place for these as they sold just the valve from my build thread "looking at the ford invoice it shows 7364573 & was £32.50+vat" but that was in 2009
