    The tube should be separate from the cable and re-useable. It won't come with the new cables.

    I bought the early type by mistake, when I needed the late one's.

    They are a different lengths and I think different ends. The early one's just pulled straight through the calliper!

     

    (from Motor factors)

    Early cable: 1624mm. To Vin No 50-S-000361 (round end)

    Late cable: 1616mm. From Vin No 50-S-000362 (bar end, I hope, hasn't turned up yet)

    Guys not sure if you are aware...Eurocarparts offering 30% off selected parts using code Holiday30 Think it end tomorrow midday.

     

    Dont want any one to misss out in these hard economic times.

     

    I just purchased some Meguiars Smooth Surface Clay Kit normally £25.99 for £18.19p delivered (saving of £7.80) to remove some fence paint on my car done by a builder a while back.

     

    Cheers for that, saved me a few quid on parts!

    I think that carparts4less.co.uk is still cheaper, I did an order yesterday and saved about 40%

     

    Excellent!, never seen these before, I guess there an online only outlet for Euro?

     

    Blimey they are cheaper! Still saved £0.32 at Euro with the holiday30 code :-D

    Actually thinking about it, If you have spade terminals on the ICM you have a different make, is it a beru coil pack?

    Are the spade terminals on the top of the coil pack? If so they are probably connected in a different order.

    Got any pictures of your setup?

    Right just to check the basics first.

    1) is it definitely the same cool pack as in the pdf, Bosch part no 0221503002?

    2) can you check the resistance of the coils? should be 12k ohm.

    3) is the ICM known to be ok?

    4) does the ICM have the same connection order at the spade terminals?

    5) are the leads connected in the right order?

    VR6 lead 1 to coil pack terminal 4

    VR6 lead 2 to coil pack terminal 5

    VR6 lead 3 to coil pack terminal 6

    VR6 lead 4 to coil pack terminal 3

    VR6 lead 5 to coil pack terminal 2

    VR6 lead 6 to coil pack terminal 1

    6) can you get a spark from all or any of the spark plugs?

    IMO I think these gaskets would give proven gains on a rolling road with minimal airflow esp on a turbo motor.

    Meanwhile in the real world, my manifold is always cool to the touch after a spirited run, and hot as hell in traffic.

    Cant do any harm though, unless it melts :-&

    Great write up! This has helped me out a lot. Just a couple of questions. What is the minimum wire gauge I should be using? Also I have the original vauxhall type plug for the coil pack. I was wondering what size/type terminals I need to order to put in the plug moulding? I was thinking of ordering them from Vehicle Wiring Products. If anyone could advise that would be great.

     

    Glad it's been useful!

    Let me know how it works out.

     

    Recommend the same gauge wire as coming into the coil from the engine bay loom.

     

    So, is it this bit your after based on the Vauxhall plug?

    I went to the breakers for it, most VW/AUDI engine bays will have some, with a nice rubber to boot.

     

    Then just crimp some of these on (4mm Ring terminal for up to 25Amp)

    Or to make from scratch at

    Seriously thinking about fitting an LSD in my current box build.

    Anyone got a spare LSD for an 02A or 02J-B?

    If not who's best to buy from or should I import from the US?

    You do realise the gap from 4th to 5th will be intergalactic don't you? :lol: To my mind that is a complete waste and will just turn your corrado into a '4+E'. Personally speaking, the stock 5th with the 3.39 FD is spot on and 175mph capable. So the best solution to get 3.68ness with a tall top gear is to go for a 6sp 02S install, which can be had from the non-GTI MK5 Golf. Since both the 3.68 and 02S installs require a gearbox strip down, you may aswell do the 02S. It's what I'll be doing next time my 02A has to come off the engine.

     

    That what I'm building here at the mo, 02S GQM gearset into 02A CCM box, if my math is right should give aprox equivalent to the 3.94 diff in 1st to 3rd , 3.68 in 4th, standard 5th and uber-drive 6th.

    Would also love a set of 263's to go with it!
