Hi Just found these in a drawer, left over from this group buy. Full set of 4, never used I don't even have a Corrado anymore so these are less than useless to me. If anybody wants them, paypal me the cost of a pint and they're yours :thumbleft:. Cheers, Dom

There's a body shop in rudgeway called Tomorrow's Classics, they rebuilt the sills on my mx5. They did a good job so can recommend them.

No, never got round to changing the belt, and yes it was annoying!

Nothing too exciting, MK1 Mx5. It's a hoot to drive but doesnt have the same character as the Corrado :(

That's my old one! Sad to see it go when I sold it but glad its found a new home :-)

I have a spare set here you can have if no more are available. Let me know

OK so who had terrorists on their street??!! Watching the 10 o'clock news last night and thought I saw a corrado in the street where the 6 terror suspects in Birmingham were arrested. Can be seen here at around 6:18 onwards: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0156r2j/BBC_Weekend_News_25_09_2011/

Plug gap would be 0,6mm or 0.024"

Little update. Went out in the car tonight, felt similar but got progressively worse until it just wouldn't rev at all. Then it cut out and I haven't been able to start it since. RAC came out and checked it over. Its got fuel to the fuel rail, plenty of juice in the battery, got spark at the plugs and compression on all 4 cylinders. Anything else that would stop it starting? It looks like the crank pulley is wobbling a little bit (unless its my imagination), but the crank pulley is driving the crank belt and cam sprocket so can the bolt have sheared? Cheers

Hi So get in the car today and noticed it sounded slightly different after starting up. Then I noticed it feels a bit limp whilst driving, bogging down from low revs and nearly cuts out when I put the clutch in, idles perfectly though once it recovers. When I pput my foot down in second theres just no acceleration. It felt normal yesterday and now today it wont play ball. I've had a quick look under the bonnet and: HT leads and spark plugs are intact and tight ECU hose is still attached to inlet manifold boost hoses appear to be intact No loose connections After reading other posts it seems there might be a few things at fault. ECU relay, Blue temp sensor, ignition timing or worse the crank pulley wearing out/coming loose. Anything else I should be looking for? Cheers Dom

I was brave enough to let my GF drive it as her car is off the road. Only she did manage to leave the sunroof upon a touch and then the heavens opened..........

Hi. Welcome along. Firstly there are two pipes which feed/return oil to the supercharger. The supply pipe is metal braided with banjo bolts on either end and connects from the charger to the cylinder head (IIRC). The return pipe is larger diameter rubber pipe which connects from the bottom of the charger back to the block (not sure exactly where). See here http://www.wagenstad.com/index.php?modid=113&page=1-48-00 for a diagram. The supply pipe is number 5 and the return is number 11 The pictures you've linked don't work as I guess they are from your email account? Best bet is to save them and upload them into a post or host on a site link imageshack.us and link them. This is a mainly UK based forum so you may not have too much interest if you put your car up for sale here, although there are a few US members

GF saw your new car on Friday and said it looked luurvly. Was gone by the time I came to pick her up though, so couldnt admire :(

well every 1mm on the wheel adaptor thickness reduces your offest by 1mm. Like has been said above your offset is too low. Get narrower wheels or higher offset ones. no amount of stretch will get those wheels under the arches. And putting 165's on a 9J rim is just asking for trouble

Have you checked the relays on the uprated loom? water ingress can lead to problems. Could also be the switch

Take care of it because 1)they're worth a bit in good nick and 2)it used to be mine! Chances are you will be able to find someone who wants to swap for a smaller one.

Looks very nice and tidy. Love the colour :thumbleft:

I've always just prised the right hand side of the switch with a large flat bladed screwdriver, then the same on the other side until I can pull it out.

Can your boost gauge read vacuum? If the charger wasn't spinning at all then i would expect there to be vacuum in the inlet manifold rather than atmospheric pressure like your seeing. And if the charger was worn out I would still expect to see some boost rather than nothing. Can you hear/see the supercharger spinning with the bonnet open? Have you had the car out on the road yet or are you just testing it in neutral?

How do you know there's no boost? Maybe belt slip on the pulley? When was the charger last refurbed?

She wanted to but no money = no car. If she did get one I would be nervous of it breaking down, I've been particularly lucky with the reliability of mine and think she thinks they're all like this!

Wow that was quick. Looked real nice in your ad. My GF said she'll miss seeing it on a Friday afternoon at school (bit sad eh?). Reckon she'll end up with a corrado one day!

I may be interested in the discs and pads depending on condition
