I was thinking somewhere a bit more scenic to be honest, preferably incorporating a decent drive and a pub lol:thumbleft:. but we'll see how it pans when we have more numbers. Tom

Still waiting for mine to arrive! lol. they look good though.

Wow, you really see the difference in your bay, looks ace! i would'nt worry to much about the compression figures, there all as you say within tolerance. Good work mate! ​Tom

Glad you got it all sorted!

As mentioned on a previous post i had ordered some goodies, well today was a bumper day for deliveries :dance:, First off the postman bought me some lights. Before; After; Probably the cheapest mod you can do on a Corrado! Then a courier turned up with these. Before; After; Really happy with the look of these Next another courier turned up! With this; So nice to have a functioning speedo! everything works except mpg meter and the new mileage is fairly close(estimated) to the engines mileage. The old clocks pretty much fell apart as soon as i removed them, theres a fair few screws missing too. ah well. No more road angel lol :thumbleft: The best bit about replacing the clocks however, was now the spoiler module had a speed to reference off, so at 45mph, guess what, the spoiler worked! :cheers::cheers::cheers::dance: After getting home from a bit of a drive in to Mancunia i decided to dig out my all red rear lights i had left over from my first Corrado. on they went; Before; After; I think Pearls shaping fair well lol. Sorted the drunken steering wheel to:cool: Drive out in the sunshine + mods = a very good day. Tom

Well after enjoying the sunshine and having a bbq my little girl asked this evening if we could go for a drive in the Corrado. So out came the C from the garage(after a jump start from the Golf lol :ignore:) and off we went. Did'nt go to far but far enough to enjoy the setting sun and get rather a few glances from passing motorists and pedestrians. Stopped off at my mum and dads house on the way home as my dad had'nt seen the C yet but had asked about it. Normally my dad is'nt interested in my cars, but he seems fair taken with this one, even going as far as saying he was jealous! :smug: Still plenty to do but riding a bit of a chufty high at the minute. ​Tom

I had something like this happen to number 1 and number 2 of my corrados, except they were trying to pinch the car but just really badly damaged the door. it is heartbreaking and i truly feel for you mate especially as its clearly your pride and joy. i have already promised myself that i won't be using number 3 corrado for anything other than warm sunny days(frivolous i know in these turbulent financial times but hell you only live once) and just popping down the shops! when this kind of thing happens to twice within a short space of time we gave up with the house we were in and moved to a quieter area and a house with a garage. i know this is'nt necessarily a viable option for everyone to do(advantage of renting rather than owning lol). hang in there buddy. it'll be worth it in the end. ​Tom

Yeah happened to me as well turned out to just be the mats though. scary when you dont expect it though. hope its nothing serious Stella. ​Tom

sounds good all welcome in whatever you got lol. vr6pete-is vr6oc worth joining? been thinking about signing up for a while now.

Hi i've got my old kr engine for sale out of my old valver. The car died 2ish years ago i started stripping the engine(head is off) to repair but ended up replacing the entire car and selling the shell instead. Engine is dead, no compression prior to removal of head, however before this everything was in full working order, always started first time etc. gearbox was good being from a later low mileage 2.0l 16v and having only about 90k on it. anyway heres pics of what you get; Plus spare metering head from a mk2 valver As mentioned everything is there except the radiator and wiring loom. Looking for £100. collection only from north manchester. ​07541370650 Tom

new pics added.

cool, thats 3 so far. anyone else? ​Tom

Yes this is true. like i said i just expected there not to be so many little faults with it, but they are just that, little faults and niggles. Its beginning to feel like mine now so happy days ha ha! how dare you think such things! get your own 24v! :shock:

last time i saw another on the road was september! saw it drive past our old unit. there used to be a very nice black g60 kicking about here to but seems to have disappeared as well? maybe they've all been garaged over winter? ​Tom

Cheers chaps. carpets are on the list! ha ha yeah the wheel came with it. its leather covered which i think was an optional g60 extra? going up for sale soon to wheel. ​Tom

Ordered some today. will post up pics when they arrive. Bit the bullet and did it through ebay, good feedback though and the design i wanted . the proof however is in the pudding...

Hi will be putting these up for sale soon; centres painted bordeaux pearl with polished rims and bolt covers. 7j up front 8j on the rear. look smart just not my taste. good tyres all round, low profile falkens on the front, stretched dunlops on the back. adaptors are 5 x 100 to 5 x 130. prices as title or the lot for £300 or swap for 16'' 5x100 bbs WITH tyres collection from north manchester. ​Tom

Well, finally got round to doing the seats. again its not a massive change i think they look miles better and the leather smell when you open the door is now fantastic! :afro: so much so i have relegated the magic tree to the golf. No before pics this time but here you are; Ordered a few goodies and hopefully should be getting some new clocks sorted asap. ​Tom

i did manage to find a place that did them with the old font a couple of years back but can't remember the name? Had them on old silver corrado, however they never looked quite right (it was more the spacing than anything). ​i would'nt mind the new font, just would prefer the old font if possible.

yeah i've heard of them before never used bit have heard good things about dubmeister I was looking on ebay but always unsure about using ebay for stuff like this. after old chales wright font really(the kind of font a corrado would have had new). ​lets see what others have to say...

as title, looking to replace my plates. after pressed metal but old u.k style. anyone help? preferably online. ​Tom

The exterior was'nt that dirty when i got it, but the journey back made it filthy. the interior was however. i had planned to clean and feed my seats today but ended up making a start painting my house instead ha ha. No the car itself is 'there abouts'. there are a few issues which i want to sort, like, whilst attempting to rescue the dash i noticed the variety of scotchlocks and crimp on electrical connections underneath the dash - another job earmarked for the future. Its a damn good base and i am proud of it now its clean and shiny. one day it will something truly special though. Thanks for the offer of the ashtray Gloster ox but its the actual main structure that has broken in several places. ​Tom

Hi, well back in a corrado and would like to get back into the scene a bit more after a while out of it. anyone fancy organising a meet up? Tom

i really wanted a storm too when i was looking for a new corrado. good luck with yours mate. good work so far!
