cheers! i`ll probably be posting on here a lot more for advice! so any insurancy types feel free to PM or post or whatever, will keep you all informed along the way!

yeah he said he got insurance on his dads policy, he lives in the same town :mad: an it was only 1/2 a mile from home!! it is a horrible experience but everyone was ok apart from a sore neck etc... and thats all that matters at the end of the day! i`ve got a horrible feeling that it`ll be written off (similar thing in my mum`s old golf) even if it is d`ya think insurance will sell it back to her?? its gotta be worth breaking/repairing hasn`t it??

Very nice, isnt the countyside beautiful!!!! i`m only about 20mins from snowdon-yr Wyddfa! (North wales BTW!) some good hills and mountains here too! :)

IIRC using redex does cause a lot of smoke, look on the bottle and i`m sure it says it there somewhere!? i used it on my old (Xr2) and it was fine hope it all works out mate

well, its a day of mourning in my house sonia16v`s poor corrado has been banged! any comments on the best thing to do will be greatly appreciated dunno about rights of salvage or anything yet but, fingers crossed! :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: brief story: straight road, 5 in a queue, front 1 waiting to turn sonia at the back, boy racer in a 40mph limit playing silly buggers with other scum mate behind equals:

isnt it a bad time to be buying houses right now??? me mates a morgage advisor an he says `no` :!:

Scott, thats what confused me too, to many variables if i adjust amp and HU bass what i`m gonna do is set the HU up for the front speakers then set up my amp that seems logical so i`ll have a go tommorrow :)

pirrelli p6000 didnt ispire much confidence in the wet but were very long lasting then Falken (cant remember the code) better dry and wet grip then toyo proxes t1-s excellent dry grip, wet is good - did increase road noise homever and are quite soft so may not last that long (depends on your driving though eh?) but thats all im gonna put on from now on, for the price i would say get them have a look here for good prices and reviews 8) http://www.mytyres.co.uk/start.html

cheers Kev quite simple then eh?? :oops:

sorry its running 10" sony sub, matched to the amp the HU has 3v sub pre-out with bass adjustment that doesnt effect the bass going to the components up front they have their own adjustment

ta 8)

could so-one please explain to a dumb-ass (me) what these do and what they should be set at! obviously i`ve had a play with them but dont really understand it in laymans terms also my alpine HU has variable frequencies for bass, is it as simple as setting my Amp and HU the same ie 100Hz thanks and sorry for being thick :? :?

:oops: i did do a search but couldnt find much ooh well :roll:

do you know of any famous people who own(ed) corrado`s?? i remember reading in sprinter that Shaun Ryder used to have one! 8) a red one that was stolen and used as a getaway car after robbing a chip shop!!!! any more??

prep for tatton park

you should also be able to change the barrel on the new handle for your old one so your old key works, just make sure you got ur key in it or else all the springs will pop out! however it worked on my first handle but not on my second! the old barrel sat about 3mm proud of the new handle

just one screw on the inside of the door-where it meets the rear panel, theres no secret screw! it just needs a wiggle!! you may find that the wiring for the central locking is secured about half way down inside the door, but you`ve already got door card off so you should be able to see that when u got it off and are replaceing the new one make sure the stricker is the correct side of the lock mechanism, that the wiring isnt being trapped and that it doesnt foul the window on its way down! hope this helps??

Im on 142k just had head rebuilt before xmas, so i dunno??? if its running ok then just keep an eye on it :?

like the reflector mod, planning on doing it myself as soon as i seen a C with it done in the flesh (@tatton park i hope)

do a search on here for radweld, i vaguelly remember someone saying is it not good for our cars whats your milage? i always have some white smoke outta my exhausts, but dont lose coolant so figure its just steam also what tailpipe you got? upswept could possibly collect a bit of water in it and therefore produce steam as it heats up? just a guess.....

it is indeed jade metallic green, a very nice colour IMO and quite rare!

again not black but my alpine cdm 9807 rb is good, 2 x 2vpre outs, 1x3v sub preout with sub adjustment on HU,4 60 watts under £200 too

thanx i used to know and impressed a few people saying "yeah my 13 year old car has MPG, oil temp, secret modes!!!...... blah blah blah" aint the C ace! 8)

generally my dealer is ok, let me look about on their EKTA, sqeeze me in when they`re full, give me discount and are generally quite sound, but i think thats because a mate of mine is head leccy bloke there and he got a rallye and a G60 corrado......but just before my dad bought the car it had a full service there and they recommended changing discs and pads all round that was on 99k and now i`m on 142k and am just thinking about changing them. :-P

yeah mush more comfortable, it used to tram line quite badly on 17`s and roads up here are sh1te, my dad couldnt believe it was the same car and was gutted he sold after driving it on 15`s :lol: :lol: he begged me to put him on my insurance!! 8)
