Hi I'm looking 4 the bracket that attaches the gearbox to the mount on the subframe. It's the longish narrow 1, I'll see if I can find the part no.

You and most other people on here mate!

Really gutted 4u mate, hearing stuff makes my blood boil. It's like the line from pulp fiction - it'd almost be worth them doing it if u could catch them at it. No chance of claiming on the insurance?

Only just found this build thread, ur car looks so sweet mate, some really nice touches, especially the rear lights - I luvs em! Wish I'd gone 2 edition now as would've been great seeing ur car in the metal!

I'd defo be interested in a set of these, depending on prices stick me down if the "group buy" goes ahead.

After a drivers side wing in mystic blue in fairly decent condition that I can bolt on til I can get the whole car sprayed.

Decided I'd whip the engine out 1 wknd , get a few bits powder coated, few new shiny nuts + bolts etc and drop it bk in a couple of wks later. Yeah right! 2yrs later its still not bk in, the pikeys have been round (at least) twice after it 4 scrap and its the butt of all my non car appreciating mates jokes. Soon tho, honest!

Hmm does seem a bit cheap that, could be worth a nose tho if sum1 was local

wow great lookin car there mate, v clean and tidy and 1 of my favourite corrado colours! Did you get the wipers fom the stealers? If so do you mind me asking how much they're charging for them these days?

Good stuff! PM me ur payment details. Cheers

Desperately looking 4 a metal cam cover so i can get it powder coated to match the rest of my freshly painted engine parts, all I can seem to find is placcy 1's. Not to fussed on the condition either as its gettin blasted. Either PM me or contact me direct on 07792075340 Cheers Greg

Ahh got the alignment tools just making sure I wasnt missing something! Bit dark 4 messing with it now, I'll get on it 2mrw. Never fails 2 impress me the knowledge on here,cheers again 4 the help

Hmmm thanks for the advice, hopefully I won't have bent a valve as I only turned the pulley with a spanner and stopped as soon as I felt resistance. If I understand right, if I take the cams out,and turn the crankshaft pulley 2 tdc, the pistons will be in the correct position and I just need 2 refit the cams in the correct position ie so the camlocks fit? What alignment tool do I need? I know they say if u ask u shouldn't be doing it but paying someone isn't an option and i'd like 2 think I'm not totally useless!

Right, I'm in the middle of replacing the chains and tensioners on my VR6 which I thought I was pretty confident doing using the very helpful guide on here. I've managed to get the chains and tensioners back on and everything turned and lined up as it should and I was pretty chuffed! Now here comes the bad bit - When I was tightening the intermediate sprocket bolt, the flywheel locking tool slipped causing the sprockets to turn and plcing tension on the back of the simplex chain and the head gasket, I backed it off and went to re check the timing again but somehow something must of slipped and with the cams and crankshaft pulley at TDC the intermediate shaft timing marks were out. I then removed the chains in order to line up the intermediate sprockets but for some reason I cant even remember now, I turned the crankshaft pulley without the chains attatching it to the camshafts and now I've ended up with the cams in different positions to each other, the crankshaft pulley won't turn 360 and I'm worried the pistons are all in the wrong positions. I tried to turn the cams using a spanner on the flats but they dont seem to want to turn and now basically I think I've ****ed it right up. I know its longwinded but I really need some help!

sorry didn't reply earlier tom, I'll take the servo if youv'e still got it, pm me ur payment details and I'll get it over to you

cheers 4 the info guys

sorry if iv'e missed it but do you still have the brake servo?

wow cracking photos! noticed you have the TT pedal covers, really wnt to get these for mine and just wonderin what combinations i need to order? cheers

Hi do you still have the brake servo?

Really really good thread this mate, keep up the good work!

I'd be v interested in a mk4 rear conversion mate as is high on my (v long) 2 do list! ---------- Post added at 06:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:31 PM ---------- Write up I meant!

Great show I thought, lots of new wave stuff not so much older stuff such as mk1 and 2's and not many C's either. Good overall standard tho, always gives me a bit of motivation 2 get on with getting mine finished.

Looking 4ward 2 seeing some of the cars frm here and putting some faces to usernames! 1st UD I've not stayed at and guttted the C isn't ready but should still be a gd show

No probs thanks for letting me know mate
