need some advice guys , iv just replaced the passenger side lower arm bushes tonight with powerflex ones managed to do this all with little fuss but the antiroll bar bush was that corraded it snapped almost instantly! the bolt that goes straight through was literaly half its normal width in the middle and you could see the twist in it where i had tried to remove it , i just want to know whats the best new bush to go for , would it be standard corrado part , is there any tt or r32 ones that work or shall i just powerflex these asweal any advice guys im not great with wat parts for what and all that cheers

Ahh gotta love the cream leather lol , cheers dude its gettin there now id love to go turbo but i think its just to much for me to to tho i hope you go ahead with it . I think there is a massive 16v turbo thread somewhere on here asweal bud

Looks good mate what u got planned

what im saying is that wood can withstand alot of weight being put on it like .... a train , maybe you should stick with metal tripods personally i would use the wooden ramps , id just make sure the hand brake was on before i started work or is there a problem with this method asweal!!

just fitted the new grill i bought on impulse from ebay managed to colour code it yesterday not sure if i like it tbh its a bit marmite i think all comments welcome im sure most will dislike it also while im here managed to get it through mot wich i was really happy about , it got a few advisorys tho cough cough ...... windscreen wipers lol and a tailgate bulb and worn front wishbone bushes but i already have the powerflex bushes to go in just got to get them done in the next few weeks and finally got the drivers door lock sorted after it decided to lock shut lol it was a pain in the arse to get open but got there in the end and now have a nice opening and shutting door again , so no more starsky and hutch type entrys and exits haha anyway thats all for now here is the new grill anyway

i think the wooden ramps are a great idea and you could also make two for the back just lower than the body of the car to give the back a little raise and level aswell at the end of the day if trains can use beams of wood to run rails on and house roofs can can hold all the weight of all the tiles on im sure it can hold the weight of a little corrado

Its welded in mate i had to cut it out from the donor car i had the leathers from You can screw it back in tho thats what iv done

the corrado surley must have one of the best stances in that pic they just look so good , and i agree with the tardis statement haha im 6,4 and inside is so compfy and i have plenty of room

looking good mate engine looks good pics of the wheels lol im a bit of a wheel whore

cheers for the info mate i think ill give it ago , i have a big vice copper grease and all the tools so should try it really it will ad to the what i can do without having my pants pulled down , i hate paying other people to do things i know i could probaly do myself lol maybe im a bit tight ......or always skint ill keep all the info in mind when i have a go cheers bud

i didnt realise how cheap the tt bushes where i was going to got for the r32 bushes but instead decide to powerflex them i know some people dislike this as the ride is compromised but i know they last longer and to be honest the rides bumpy compared to the norm car anyway i didnt really think of getting new arms as surley they will be ok ie not bent as they are solid steel so being no show car decided to just replace the bushes , i got them for 65 quid delivered and that consists of two bushes for either side arm i soked the bolts in dw40 the other day when iwas sorting the brake lines out for mot so there probs as good now to get off than before i think if they are an hour a side ill give it a go if worst comes to worst ill just run away and leave it on my dads drive haha

Ill be using the 3m comformative vinyle mate then gona laquer over Should look like the real stuff under laquer

I need some advice about the lower arms on my car Its in for mot on the 9th and it needs new lower arm bushes drivers and passengers side Iv got the bushes ordered i just want to know how hard it will be getting the arms of and how long each arm should take roughly im ok with my tools and dont mind gerrin stuck in Iv got all the tools and a good windy gun to get the bolts off I dont really want to pay a mechanic to do it if i can save myself a bit of money I think i would get the arms of and then have a garage just press the bushes out and in That should save me say 50 ,60 quid surley Any advice welcome

Difinetly not gay stickers id rather have matt black then that

as title needs to be as cheap as possible doesent matter of condition really as its going to be a first attempt at wrapping in carbon fiber and laquer so its gonna be prept first any help would be great and if you like the finished outcome pics i could maybe do one for your own car thank you

say your running non standard wheels then say 16 x 9 all round in my case would you go by the pressure stated on the tyre or still by the car ?? my mind says by the car still but im usually wrong

The knowledge pace and determination of this build is amazing really good work thumbs up to you man

haha i liked the description of the seats "they are all growing hair" go see it bud might come with two meat head men haha double bonus

just spotted this on ebay with a really weird youtube link weird but funny in a sttrange way link to ebay with youtube link http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180660404566&ru=http%3A%2F%2Fshop.ebay.co.uk%3A80%2F%3F_from%3DR40%26_trksid%3Dp5197.m570.l1313%26_nkw%3D180660404566%26_sacat%3DSee-All-Categories%26_fvi%3D1&_rdc=1

Try euro car parts mate got mine for around 30 quid each maybe less Also the cold start injector is pricey at about 105 quid thats from tue dealer I dint replace mine as its disconected and always starts in tje cold anyway

Id also be intrested in this i know there is stuff on ebay brand new for about 700 quid but im a bit wary of it tbh This is a good thread for the 16v owners out there i think All info is great info

Looking really nice mate how did you get on with the loom hope all was ok for you and arrived ok

Cheers dude today i have managed to get the door open had to fiddle the front door card off and completley remove the rear doorcard and then get the door rubber off Managed to get a long screwdriver throught in to the actual lock the picture below of the lock hanging off the door where the two metal bits are had completley seperated apart so think that was thr trouble Cheers for offering tho im sure it would have come in handy Im working thursday the new lock arrives then so still need to fit it so hope it goes well it was 40 something quid from main dealer so not to bad ---------- Post added at 06:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:57 PM ---------- Cheers for the pics dude the part u have highlighted is the lock bit thats exploded lol so think it had just had its day im just glad its gettin so hopefull no more starsky and hutch entrys in and out the car haha

I thaught this !! Had an old standard system wich was knackerd so got dg auto tech to fit a stainless jetex exhaust nd im still having problems with it . Iv replaced every metal and rubber hanger and its still not right even had the whole system off again and refitted it On the way back from elescar yesterday its started knocking on tue rear beam again pr on a heat shield My point is its a good system but still a pain in the arse and it still needs messing with so weather a good or bad system i think its hard to get it right with the corrado

Ok mate hope you get it sorted
