  2. Was just randomly looking for parts for the car ( as you do) and found this, its a singly wiper blade upgrade for the corrado and this is what it said about it: Storm Single Wiper Kits allow you to change your vehicle from two wipers to a single DTM style wiper system. Storm single wiper conversions are made to the highest standards to fit Right hand drive cars and include all the necessary hardware needed to complete the installation. These Single wiper kits are the very best available and should not be confused with cheaper inferior kits sold elsewhere most of witch are not suitable for right hand drive cars. Our kits incorperate a unique cantilever system witch gives a smooth complete sweep of the screen and is every bit as good as the original wiper system at removing water and grime. Single wiper kit includes a straight black wiper arm and blade, cantilever mechanism, fittings and grommets complete with comprehensive, step by step fitting instructions. Unit Qty = One item. :lol: :epicfail: Link below http://www.independent-inventory.com/shop/product_info.php?products_id=2975

Just a few pics of the powder coated inlet manifold and rocker cover I brought of mk2vivs :D And the nice smooth inside of the top of the manifold :D Just need to get some HT leads, better injectors and some braided fuel lines and it will be goin on along with a KR cam and hopefully a remap 8) What colour HT leads would go best with the black?????
  8. Yeh, I noticed a considerable improvement with the 'DG' 'go faster' sticker correctly installed! Mind you, that might have had something to do with their work in returning it to running on 6 cylinders as opposed to the 4 that it was running on... :roll: HAHA Ya I can remember seeing yours with the front end and half the engine missing Hopefully have another Ice Grey to park my car next too tomoro now :D

  15. I've had a look but couldnt see anything but Dave said he will have a thorough look around to find whats wrong
  16. Ya I think its over fueling and running rather rich, Black exhuast tip, over run when i lift off the throttel and depress the clutch and my mpg is in the region of a VR after a heavey drive :lol: Got 28 mpg out of it on the motorway the other day only doing 70 :(
  17. Sounding good The list of things just go on dont they :D Mines off for a cheack up with Dr Dave and Dr Graham on thursday :D
  18. Looking good Andy were did you get the 16v badges from???
  19. Nice Let us know if and when as I want to spruce up the bay a bit with nice shinny things :D
  20. I would get it a MOT as I wouldnt want to buy a car with out one And as far as the price goes, its preaty cheep for a VR, In my opinion the price your asking for gives the impression there is something wrong with it. Not saying there is but if you see the prices of other VR's and then you see this first thing you think is why is it so cheap? and what is wrong with it? :shrug: even tho there is a honist reason behind it Thats my 2p :D

    Smokey exhuast

    Ya the first silencer box was removed and replaced with a straight through stainless steal pipe so thats probably why then. Its just the blackish smoke i got this morning that is worrying me more, as i do go through a bit of oil each week. so I'm wondering if its worn piston rings or valve seals, but the car has only done 84K miles :confused4: And it only seams to happen when i first start the car from cold, when its warm there isnt any thing wrong. Dont know if its related bt my mpg has droped a bit. on the motorway yesterday I only got 30mpg at best doing 70mph when I normaly get round 34mpg

    Smokey exhuast

    When I started the car this morning a load of smoke came out the exhuast, it was a blacky grey colour with a smell of oil. then after the engine had warmed up it had gone. Had a quick search on tinternet and couldnt find much. just started it up again (from cold) and was only a little bit of smoke. I let it idel for 5 mins then gave it a few little revs ad a light grey smoke started coming out. Have attached a video showing it I dont like it :confused4: :confused4: :confused4:
