oh i forgot will get bearings from vw on saturday ....no no no stop i will phone tomorrow and make sure they have them then collect on saturday...heads up my backside...as desprate to get the car alive again missing it like crazy.... ((mental note)) add the rear bearings to yer list numb nuts :grin: ... cheers guys.... got front brembo and rears pagid plus front and rear pagid pads plus the abs rings for £125 all deliverd to the door...so happy with that.... just rear bearings to get and also fresh vw oil and filter and new vw antifreeze ,,,plus fit catalytic converter for m.o.t and at same time get new windscreen fitted at last and fingers crossed it passes m.o.t ,,,keep it till end of the summer then sell it me thinks as vr6 has to be next :norty:

cheers for info great help can now get spending...get the poor girl back on road...getting all new brakes plus lines...new windscreen..engine overhaull..new cat for m.o.t and new decat for after m.o.t been off road now for 6 months and hate just looking at it...still at least kept the miles down...lol

cheers are the gsf ones priced per disc or is that a pair???? and do i need the rear discs with abs ring or without???? forgive me but ive always driven mk2 gti's with no abs...

im currently searching the internet for new front and rear discs plus pads as doing the full lot ...car is a 1993 2.0 16v ...just looking for advice on best discs and pad set up to go for im sticking with 256mm keep it simple and there good enough...car also has abs and have noticed some rear discs for sale either come with abs ring and some dont is this needed???? please excuse my thickness on the abs things as im old skool and first car ive had with dreaded abs.... so fire away...whats ur thoughts on best disc and pad combi ....cheers in advance as away searching again

im same i do find corrado back end slips out pretty easy compared with mk2 golfs ....makes for fun driving....but only really happens in the wet as when bone dry i do find them far better handling compared with mk2's

seriously the abs wont hold out on track??????.....bollocks....that leaves tricky as will require abs to work for m.o.t as car will be staying road legal as well....suggestions for away round this please????????? (((this is maybe why im a mk2 16v man less hassel))

cheer bud...can get on ordering bits now...and glad im keeping abs as will need for track use

just a quick question ....do i need calipers and carriers to do this conversion same as doing on a mk2 golf?????? and will swapping from 256 to 280 affect abs????

look foward to seeing this finished...im a sucker for a mk2 golf

if you feel bored with it park it up for 1 month and use public transport then jump back in it and sure as hell you wont sell...like you say your self where on gods earth will you find a gem of a car like you have again...?????? ive just got mine back onthe road today after being without it for nearly 2 months and thought i was bored and mines is only a 9a 16v and buy gum a rado is a great car to drive...i want to hug mine

cheers was susproised how well it looked after paint job as was never sure about doing it matte black...but im happy with results...

oops...sorry...and cheers 8)

sorry about the delay .....just been doing other sheet ...but paint job done..... and i couldnt give a fly fook what people think about matt paint cos its my car and its my daily and its job done looks a million miles better than laquer peel on every panel..... now need to lower at rear and differnt colour wheels

that be spot on bud let me know if it comes out in 1 piece if so will take it

i stay in perth small town and only 2 or 3 national companys,,,,

no dont think its possible as bonded in ....but not fussed as want a new one but for best price possible ...doesnt seem to be any where i can buy direct????? spent hours on net searching and nothing....i know i can order from vw direct but be stupid money from them

nobody????? anybody???? know of a place i can order a rado windscreen at much cheapness????

is insured only third party fire and theft as spends most its life on driveway....but requires new screen as m.o.t next month ...called insurance and was told not coverd ....so shopping about...as wide range of prices some are crazy the 385 is best yet...but did get a £820 quote :shock: hoping i can get it for £250-300 tops as i think thats a fair price

as the title says need a corrado windscreen looking for best price just to buy or supply and fit ....best quote ive had is £385 supply and fit with 3 year warranty....???????? any better deals out there ?????? or just to buy screen ???

bored today so had some spare time to fook aboot with some animated vids bbs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjQhmPjI72A detail http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IuyaE95r2_Q pulp fiction hate french http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQGDtW4Vsjo had day off so spent the time wisely :lol:

paint isnt great tbh has matt black bonnet as was bad laquer peal also have this on 1 wing starting and few other bittys along with some scratches where some fooker tried to key it.....hence matt finish as i can spray this my self of proper gun and cost me a fraction of show n shine finish and like i say is going to be daily/track car so if gets bumped not as much a worry about in terms of respray just my own time ...pretty cars are fine and i like them alot but ive always been more into a car that handles well and dont worry about stone chips ect...im usualy a mk2 gti 16v man....but fell for rado after driving one as they do handle much better than a mk2 golf in standard forms but once you play with them the rado gets even better on the handling front...yeah sure its a heavier car than the mk2 and maybe slower from 0-60 but fook all between a mk2 16v kr and rado 9a 16v once your up and running and since it stops better and handles better will make a far better track car for my self....im more drive it like you stole it than drive it like its worth a million and try not get a stone chip...fook that get the foot welded down and throw it into those beds like ye just dont care.... either way.....i do love corrado's and fancy a vr6 corrado next time cos i think i might take this one a bit far interms of stripping to lose weight so be nice to a have a well spec'd up vr6 as a big comfy daily

pics make the paint look good...has alot of laquer peel and few scratches...but no point spending big £££££ on show paint when its going to be daily/track car ....hence the reason matt paint finish ...get whole car painted for few hundred rather than few thousand...so if i get bumped on track or go off dont have to cry to much :)

i love the sunny days ....gave rado a proper clean and some fresh pic's car is a 2.0 16v 9a with k&n panel filter and magnex exhaust and coilovers .... plans for 2010 are .... 280 brakes on front new discs and pads on rear....(going track car route) half roll cage in rear as will also be daily car.... lose much more weight(suggestions please from fellow track car rado drivers) get mid box on exhaust removed (save more weight and add more noise :shock: ) remove 16x7.5 wheels and get some 15x7 rims with proper sticky rubber poly bush front and rear upper and lower strut brace ... matt paint job ...yes i said matt paint job... job done hope to get most of this done asap as track action isnt far away
