Yes mate 6 pots with 335 discs 

tasty!  i went for the 4 pots as had to run the speedline but ive finally got the wheels i want for the VR6

i wonder how much of a bigger disc i could fit under the 16" modena's in comparison to the 15" speedlines - may have to call HiSpec for a chat

This is what I went for

really easy to swap over and much better, but not as neck snapping as I thought, the Brembo discs and ferodo pad combo on my old standard set up was very good though and still a bit more of bedding in to do on the new set up and maybe a full bleed too. 
That photo doesn’t do justice to the look of the thing though, it looks awesome but not be getting my 15” speedines on any more. 

looking good - are they the 6 pots?

ive got the 4 pots from HiSpec & love them 🙂

i did think i could help but id read it wrong, thought it was the actual parcel shelf you needed

Now this is still blowing my mind 🤣🤣 The usb lead has the vcds plug on it, which I plug into my lads laptop.... 

How would I make that faster?

It works fine on my Passat and other vehicles,  but would be nice to look at the Corrado controllers better

i think they are referring to the fact that there are different speeds of USB cable, ideally you want a USB 3 if possible as these can handle a higher data throughput

however, it may be that whatever you are using is not corrado compatible

IIRC you cant read much through the OBD1 port

In need of a bit of help.
Today I’ve had a go at removing the heater matrix without taking the dash out.
Using the step by step guide on vagdrivers, and adding a few of our own, we managed to get it out. 
(Defiantly a 2 man job, and preferably with someone who’s had a dash out before. Cheers Dave16v for the help today)
I would say it is possible to remove and replace, but it is a nightmare, hense the dash came out after.

After looking over the heater matrix the foam covering the flaps has completely perished and 90% has fallen away. Has anyone replaced it, if so, what is the part or where did you source the replacement from?
Also the foam on the duct at the end of the heater box and around the top of the centre ducts has just crumbled away. Is there a suitable replacement? Vw heritage doesn’t show one.

There are now more car bits in the garage, than in the car.
Hopefully once the matrix is sorted I can get it all back together and put the car in the garage.

only just seen this post - ive got a full guide with pics on how to do this job

so much easier with dash fully out

i email it out on request

17”s aren’t so bad with kw v3 coilovers 

ha ha ha that is one hell of an expensive way to do it but also a very good one!!

i could only afford the V1's but they have seen me perfect for about 75K miles so far

Hi all,

wondered if there would be any interest in some 17” speedlines. These would be identical to the OE corrado speedlines just bigger.

B star wheels who do the bigger BBS wheels and Sebrings would do a limited run if there was enough interest.

chris

hi chris

good idea but in all my years of corrado-ness 17's & upwards kill the ride & handling

there are people that run them & i guess it depends if you are going for look or for performance

IMO, & im sure many of the long term members here would agree from their experience, that 16" is the biggest you want to go 

i have a feeling that you can actually still buy a 16" speedline brand new

i also think that the group buy here many years ago for Compomotive Mo 5's were in a 16" but may have been 15

How much is a remap at Stealth now?

not sure - it was £400 for the rolling road setup but this was a long time ago

17 hours ago, fla said:

Hmm, I think i need a remap on mine. Ive got a schrick, 264 piper cams, BMC and OBD2. What kind of results could be achievable after a remap? Its been sorn'd for 2 years though so will first need a good run to get back to normal 

when i had my head rebuild at stealth i dropped schrick 263's in there, BMC CDA & then vince mapped it - ended just shy of 210bhp 

this was with OE exhaust as i hadnt yet put the longlife SS on it

the way the new map performs in comparison to OE is superb

'sCan you heae the tweeters working?

I remember reading somehwere that there was actually a cross-over of some kind in the factory tweeters, but not sure if that's true - I guess the real reason is that the factory stereos jsut have 4x speaker output, so needs to be wired that way.

good question - i cant say i have ever checked for them

i didnt realise it had a tweeter setup in the front but i do know a previous owner had done some form of rewiring to the door speakers

im thinking of pulling some of the dash out & then completely redoing the the door speaker wiring with some decent cable like i have running to the rear 6*9's

just to revive this one, does anyone know the best colour match from gliptone, furniture clinic etc for cream leather?  Mine needs some repair as well as redyeing the cracked areas.

Thanks

Hasan 

when i got my kit from them i just told them the year & model of vehicle & they had a list to match it up IIRC

i had a guide of steps to follow when using their products but cant remember if they gave it me or i got it elsewhere

just give them a call m8 - they were based down the road from me so i just popped in to see them & they were very helpful

having read this thread - would i be best to rewire my JL audio 6.5" front direct to head unit?

AFAIK they are connected to a thicker audio wire which comes out of the door

as such i dont know if this looping to tweeters is still in place - if im honest i didnt even know the wiring did that lol

thank you to everyone so far for the payments so quickly 🙂

thanks everyone 🙂

thanks to JJBRADO for their payment too

hi all - i am happy to say that ive had an update from Kurzy on the looms 🙂

he is back from his offshore work, the OE connectors arrived whilst he was away & he has started to finish the looms straight away

half are tested & ready with the other half being completed this week

thank you everyone for your patience

the remaining balance is £59

if you could pls send the paypal friends & family to [email protected]

once sent if you could then put a confirmation on here i can keep a track of it

happy days
