Look beautiful mate, considering there 1/4 of the price of the real deal they don't look much different :D

Are they Calibre Vintages? Look great, massive improvment

Looks amazing on the new wheels. Never thought I'd ever say this as BBS RS' are the ultimate wheel for the Rado but they actually look better IMHO!

I had a similar issue on my old Mk2 Golf using cheapo non-hubcentric 5mm spacers (by cheapo I mean the Halford universal fit type!). I upgraded to FK 10mm hubcentric (think FK are the only brand that make 10mm hubcentric) and it was fine. Yet another case of buy cheap buy twice :(

A common place for leaks on the VR6 seems to be around the thermostat housing and crack pipe.

Controlled by blue temp sensor. My phase 1 & 2 wasnt working a while ago and it was a wiring fault to the blue sensor.

Keep us updated on this and what its like to fit, I'd love cruise on my VR.

I'd just buy a running Mk3 GTi with low miles but uber tatty/mild accident damage/MOT fail which should set you back no more than £500, take a week off work and swap the engine straight over. Save loads of money on not needing to buy another car to use daily, get you back in the Corrado ASAP and should make a few hundred back breaking the parts off the Golf. I can't see the point is spending loads of money tuning/rebuilding an ABF engine, would be cheaper to sell up and buy a VR.

Those Rota's fill the arches out so nicely! Rota make some seriosuly tasty rims, I never knew they did European fitments (although Impreza's are also 5x100 I think)

Had a look but usually when other people have asked question its coupled with other runing issues, whereas mine is running perfect (touch wood!) otherwise, which would seem to rule out a lot of the potential causes.

Sorry to thread hijack but I get a little ticking noise from the tappets on my C when cold, what oil would people reccomend to minimise this? Last oil change I just used 10W40 Havoline Synthetic from my local petrol station as it was cheap. It never reallyt bothered me, just put it down to being an old car with 150k miles but if I can get rid of it by using posh oil I would like to.

As above getting the plastic screw cover off is the hardest part as there very tight, hammer and a screw driver is the only way to go. Getting the fuel lines off the top is a pain too (probably easier to cut them off). Remove the pump itself is easy, just push down and twist out, swap the level sender over, and then fit new one.

£350 for AP's is the best value mid-range coilover by a mile.

My pump relay went over the weekend. The way I tested it was using a battery charger and leads from a multimeter I jump started the fuel pump to make sure that was ok, since I knew the pump would run ok I knew it had to be a power suply issue to the pump. Relay 167 is common accross quite a few VAG cars, I picked up one out of a Polo down my local scrappy for £1.

I'm running Jamex coilovers and cant complain, bought them brand new for £120. They are firm but are still a significant imporvment over standard shocks with lowering springs as fitted by previous owner - in terms of both handling and comfort. Ideally one day I'd like to change them for KW's so the comfort is a bit better, but personally I only paid £2000 for the whole car so couldnt justify spending £500 on coilovers.
