7 hours ago, daves16v said:Keyo, thanks I'll have a look.
do you want me to message chris to ask is he has any in his stash m8?
-
as dox says above id be a little wary of what this person is claiming, if indeed they are
i have a powerflow system on my 16v but that is pre-cat
when i had the longlife fitted to the VR6 i had a 200 cell high flow cat fitted, as opposed to the OE cat being 400 cell (i think)
the high flow cats allow the emissions to be as required but do not throttle the exhaust gases as much as OE, thus allow better flow output but this on its own would not give any performance gains at all
also, an OE spec cat would not adversely effect the performance as this is what they are designed with
what year & model is your rado?
have you had a second opinion from an exhaust specialist or considered if the issue is being cause elsewhere?

you can normally tell whether the water is getting in from above or below by looking for the kinda of snail trail lines it leaves
if right front roof drain is blocked there will likely be a trail mark down the pillar & then down the side of the dash section
i would then inspect door membranes if you cant see any trails
if im honest, it is probably worth checking both & roof drain pipes are easy as just need blowing out with an air line
FYI if a late model there is a hidden small screw behind the factory door speaker cover 😉

42 minutes ago, MJA said:Great price. The UK loves a hot-hatch and that one has done particularly well considering it isn't the more desired big bumper version. I hope the Corrado follows suit being 5 or so years behind the mk2 in age but my gut feel is that it won't perform quite as well.
In realitive terms there are still quite a lot of Corrado VRs knocking about compared to mk2 16vs. It will be interesting to see how the market plays out if numbers lessen, though I noted over the last 10 years Corrado numbers have not even halved yet Mk2 16v (inc mk3 16v as couldn't get the split) are only a 1/5 of what they were 10 years ago. Those were taxed and tested numbers I was looking at. Perhaps Corrados have been cossetted weekend drivers where as the mk3/mk2 16v were used as dailys and killed off to current numbers.
a big consideration there would relate to the total number of those vehicles sold
compare the mk2 golf production of 6.3 million to less than 10,000 of the corrado

wow that is strong money that is - a good sign for us all hopefully
it is sales like this that make me want to keep hold of the 16v corrado, yes ok it is not a low miler but it is all genuine

right - apologies guys, ive been having some site issues but think ive finally nailed it to being browser issue
update from Kurzy this week.....
looms are all pretty much ready but he is currently waiting for the OE connectors to arrive. he has chased them up a couple of times & been told warehouse is busy. they were the same when i ordered them for the previous run
hopefully they will arrive before he has to go offshore for work again - if they do he will do his best to get them out asap but if not he will be away for 4 weeks. he sends his apologies but fingers crossed the connectors arrive
id like to thank everyone for sending their deposits nice & quickly - we have had all but one person, whom ive sent multiple messages but no reply

20 hours ago, fla said:What size of speakers can be installed in the dash without compromising the fitment of the speaker covers? Does anyone have any pics of an install that they could post up, plus recommended speaker sizes?
Thanks

hi hasan
im trying to think back probably 20 years to when i first owned the 16v - i think i put 4" inifinity 2 ways in the dash but the covers would never fit over properly
if im honest i the recess is so small i wouldnt bother putting a speaker in there
ive got 6.5" JL audios in the front & 6*9 inifinity in the rear & sound is awesome
you can get decent 5.25" in the OE door pods but be careful with how deep they are as they can push the door membrane back
