Nice wheels Kev, have a bit of a soft spot for mk5 gti's. How's the diy level on those things?

You have funds, Cheers! Paul

In the meantime, I have a few corrado related updates; When I bought the car last year it was having some problems with the electronic throttle ie you would be driveing along quite happily and then you would get no throttle input whatsoever, the previous owner had it diagnosed by a vag performance specialist as a faulty peddle and had it replaced but this didn't cure the problem. So taking it into my hands I thought I'd have a go at fixing this. Had a look at all the wiring there were a couple of things that needed tidying and moving, loosened up some of the wires, just incase there was a faulty one. Put it all back together. And I thought I cured it no cutouts over winter at all. Summer arrives and on the first outing to a festival, it dies and im pulling up to a roundabout, the only way to reset the peddle is to switch off the ignition and back on again and the throttle works again, is a little embarrassing. So I'd had enough of this so took it to a very good auto electrician who diagnosed it as the ecu relay which due to its close proximity to the exhaust mani was overheating and cutting out, solution - beefier relay and relocate = no cutouts and smiles all round!

Right looks like I'm having Microsoft issues, uploaded the pics thru onedrive and it's not straightforward. Will update later, ooo the suspense...

Are the pics not showing up? Are you viewing on tapatalk?

Hi Steve, I would like to register my interest in one of these kits too, just standard green with blue/red temp dial. Thanks

Not very good quality but order is Rog, Me then Robrado and my mates R32 in for good measure!

I have a photo from one of my mates who was in a golf behind us (R32 guy was one of my mates too) will get it up as soon as I load it on photobucket. And yes I will be going back next year with the car in the show too :)

As you guys have said was a class day out and although there were not as many rados as I was expecting the ones that were there were lovely! The mini convoy on the way back was the icing on the cake! Good to see a few more faces from the forum.

If there are an infinite number of universes then there are an infinite number of aliens/humans/ chimps writing the complete works of shakespeare. Anything is possible...

Boooo :(

Dont tempt me!

Mind if I jack the thread slighty and ask why you are selling? Nice colour Corrado btw

I think they suit, must be very heavy tho?

Tasty!

Marmite advert springs to mind

Forgive me for being a noob but what is that? Picture is a little too blurry for me. Will be looking into the current draw and a few other things when I get my garage built, 1 amp is a lot!

lol

Thought it looked relatively new, I had to keep it on the drive for two weeks while I sorted out my insurance issues + it hadnt done a good journey since I bought it. Glad to have you along :)

I'd have to sell it first...Not going to happen! + I think Mr Hayward is happy where he is :)

Ha, you got it bad but I know what you mean, nice work so far on your build by the way! Go on you know you want to, its worth it :)

Battery went flat the other day so a friendly Subaru gave the kiss of life..

Hello All, So bought myself a rather conspicuous Corrado a little while ago thought it was about time to start a gallery! Here she is: And here is what she is hiding: Other notable upgrades are Quaife limited slip diff, KW V3's, 288mm brakes, Jetex 2.5" The list goes on... Mainly just been enjoying driving her she goes like the wind and has been very well put together, which the credit must go to a Mr Kev Bacon. Have raised her off the ground slightly as the roads are a bit to bumpy to be running so low around here I have a plan for her but its top secret!
