  1. Big Thanks to 8vMatt for my lovely set of black leather rear seats. He held onto them for me for a very long time whilst my car was getting the new engine and cant thank him enough for doing so. Also he was fantastic in helping with the postage issue we had. Cant thank him enough

    Can't say anything that hasnt been said before. But not good to find. I do have a passenger wing you can have if you cover the postage. No rust would just need a respray to match yoir colour.
  3. Looking good, all the DBP are coming out of the wood work now :D
  4. Ahh so you have it now :D its a great engine dont you think? the number is 01299253373 It does help knowing when to change gear :D
  5. Graham had to order it from the states. Was about £65 I think. Give him a ring, he will be able to tell you a lot more about it than me
  6. Looking good made, great colour too ;) How was the paint match compared to the original? You'll love the 24v when its in, mine is amazing so much power on tap. looking forward t reading the progress
  7. Ent that the truth? Thanks dude, its getting there slowly, hopefully have the new interior in it soon so watch this space for an update on that
  8. Went up to DG today to get the rev counter working. Needed a little conversion box to convert the signal from the new ECU to the old electrics. took a while to ge it in but all working now. Also Graham made up a de-cat for me which gives the car a nice throaty sound and I can hear the VR6 burble I've missed. When he took it out I could hear him half way up the road :D When Graham test drove the car the rev limiter was cutting in early (5000 rpm) so after a quick scan found some fault codes :( Going to drop it off some point next week to look into it. 2 steps forward 1 step back it seams

  14. No im not, When we had the Christmas curry and cruse I was tricked into looking into the back of a corrado to make it look like I I was ticked into looking into a back of a rado so it looked like I was spying
  15. Darn you Andy stop abusing you moderation powers
  16. I get it most times right by my work. There is a crossed roads with traffic lights on it and two lanes entering and about 20-30 meters after the junction it merges into one lane but the merge is from the left to right not the usual right to left. If there is space I try and get into the right hand lane as its easier to get ahead if there is no more than 1 car in that lane. other wise i get pushed into the oncoming traffic because people just dont know how to filter The other week I was in the right hand lane at the front in my golf (1.4 :afro: ) and some old git in a rover 25 was in the left hand lane. when the lights went green i pulled a head quickly to get in front with plenty of space, he must of been a meter behind my bumper in his lane. Then just as it started to merge (left to right) he shot up the inside of me and started to force me into the oncoming traffic. Being in the golf there was nothing I could do apart from brake and give way. He certainly got an ear full at the next traffic lights and he jumped a mile when i bashed his window. Had it again tonight with two cars in the left hand lane luckily I was in the corrado so just booted it past them. I wouldnt mind it if they were to go faster than I do but every time they do it they drive at 30 mph or less ( its a 40 )
  17. I know it was very lucky I haven't been up their since Christmas eve when i put the car away. Really dont know how they opened but they wont be opening on their own again. Cant wait to get into the new house with proper locking doors
  18. Well this morning I had a shock which wasnt nice. Just sat down on the sofa with a cup of coffee to hear the door go and to find my neighbor stood there telling me my garage doors were wide open :pale: My garage is at the end of the garden and backs onto a dirt track which a load of druggies/ and scum use as a short cut. So went runing up there and as he said both doors were wide open ( barn door type doors) :( I had a good look around and nothing was touched thank god and more importantly the Corrado was untouched :cheers: Dont think I've moved that fast in a hungover haze before. The door has now been secured shut with the use of rope tied to the roof beam so no chance of it opening from the out side again :afro: Any one els had a shock like this?
  19. The Mrs bought me a good set of black leather rear seats off 8vMatt :D And the parents got me halfords advanced professional 120 piece socket set All I need now is a torque wrench Merry Christmas every one
