  5. im happy with them but like i said, wish they were a little lower. the description said 40mm yea. iirc if you couple them with powerflex top mounts they give an extra 10mm drop Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk
  6. good handling, nice and flat in the corners. the ride is firm but bearable. im still not to sure about the drop though, wish it was a little lower Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk
  7. i think im right in saying the smaller cups are p/n 1j0412341 and the larger cups are 1h0412341. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk
  8. thanks mate, youve been a big help.
  9. cheers dox. when you say earlier cups, are you meaning earlier vr6 or earlier corrados in general, 1.8, 2.0 etc
  10. Ive had the H & R kit installed on the VR but the mechanics are saying the fronts arent sitting correctly in the top mount cup. anyone got ideas as to why?? the rears fit fine btw
  11. Cazza, are you still looking vintage toys? my family recently came into a ton of vintage toys... star wars, star trek, marvel, james bond, toy cars from 40s/50s/60s. probably a few other genres. all of them going on ebay.
  12. hard to describe what i broke, its a small part one of the cables sits in. ive plugged the controls in so get air 1-4 but obviously havent installed the cables so no directional flap or hot/cold air. enjoy the holiday bud. ps you should do it for money
  13. seanl82, i put it into a garage ages ago and they replaced a bowden cable. the guys described it as one of the biggest pains in the ass ever and refused to work on it again lol. thats when i tried myself and failed! big clumsy hands and small spaces dont go hand in hand. also the small clips that hold down the cables pinged off and now rest somewhere behind the dash... easypops, i will pay you to install a set in my car. seriously.
  14. so the heater controls were broke for a long time, finally bought a decent used set, tried to install it myself and broke it! now ive got 2 broken heater controls. my question is, does anyone know a garage in Glasgow or central scotland that would source and install controls or even *******ize some modern controls to fit? ive asked a couple of garages but theyre not too keen on the job.
  15. yea, cars still available Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk
  16. Tried selling the car earlier in the year with some issues with no joy so decided to get some of them fixed, ive added a picture of the garage reciept. £650 worth of work. I have a rust free front wing, current one has rust and a hole in it. also have new brake pads/discs all round. both will be thrown in with the car. Around 140,000 miles. MOT til august 2017 and recently serviced. Ive owned her for 2 1/2 years and in that time changed/replaced the following: both Clutch slave cylinders Heater cable Radiator Auxiliary water pump Magecor 8mm ht leads Window wiper arms and blades from an audi A2 i think. Also has an aftermarket toad Ai606 alarm system with 2 keys And fobs. Bad bits... paintwork could do with a machine polish, looks kinda dull. Some small rust patches. Theres something wrong with the heater controls. No idea whats wrong with them but ive removed the controls for the time being. 2 keys but only 1 fob. lost the othe one. Electric Spoiler, sunroof and windows all work fine. Has a folder packed with history. Ive probably missed out a few bits. £3000 Cars based in East Kilbride, just south of Glasgow

    Quick hello

    Another new Glasgow member! Get it sprayed whatever colour you want! its your car! good luck with it.
  18. It was around 70degrees when I checked. It was the speed it reached 70 that worried me. Tightened it as much as possible, think I'll buy a new clip just in case though. The slave cylinder was changed recently so I'm thinking the mechanics hit something during the change.
  19. i wouldve been happy with the car beforehand lol, looked awesome. good luck with the rebuild.
  20. so i fixed one problem only to notice another two lol. fixed the loss of 5th gear by tightening one bolt. went a 5min drive to make sure all was ok with 5th and the temp gauge hit 70 pretty quickly. noticed a leak where the jubilee clip is, dont know if the hose has a small tear (cant see under hose) or the leak is coming from the round black part to the right of the clip. (picture) also noticed all the hoses were warm except the large hose at the bottom of the radiator, is this a sign of a blocked radiator?
  21. Cheers science, had a feeling it was just a case of adjusting bolts.
