big ben

Also i have been greeted with this in the mornings recently; yep, got water inside on the carpet, heater matrix has small crack in :( so, yesterday i got to work... this is the point where i already started feeling a bit nervous :lol: Everything is out and labelled Dash out, not a pretty sight after that i had a bit of a nightmare, had to take out my scuttle panel, and all my boost pipework etc, my dad came and gave me a hand and i have his blood around the engine bay to prove it :lol: but after a couple hours of swearing we got the b@stard out :) but after spending so long getting it all out and changed over, it was getting on and i needed the car for work today, so i had to bodge it up and leave it for this weekend as i didnt want to rush it, so its currently looking like this at least its not leaking any more :lol: will get it all dry inside, its not too bad as it was such a small leak! i have a heating seat loom and switch to put in as well so i can have a warm ass in the mornings, so will get it all back nicely this weekend, hopefully its dry

just some of the coatings i have applied to get me through winter driving Gtechniq C1 nanocoat - permanently bonds to paint to protect it :D Gtechniq G3 and G4 - applied on windows, can drive without wipers over 50mph which has big bonus in a corrado :norty: Gummi Pflege Stift - applied to all seals, revives them and stops them freezing G3 only lasts a couple months, G1 lasts 6 months so i will apply that soon!

its also like saying its more fun thrashing a valver than giving the VR6 a spirited drive, i know which one i would be rather doing, VR every time

i prefer being able to drive fast if i want to its boring having a fast car and driving slow like most porsche drivers...

much appreciated! it is just how i like a corrado to look to be honest, they dont need much doing to them i dont think, they look the nuts anyway :)

cheers mate! the old wheels are sold now :( and i didnt machine polish the bumpers, they both need respraying so i didnt bother with them as i hope to have them sprayed soonish... i have a small backing plate and 4 inch pads though for hard to get at areas, shouldnt be a problem really, but might be better taking them off other wise your back could end up quite bad :lol:

Oh, and i finally got a rolling road pic for my thread :D with my mug shot in to :lol:

cheers Abdul! only just seen your post, i mainly use Optimum, FinishKare, Gtehcniq, Menz polishes and Serious Performance products nowadays. Have used LOADS over the last year and spend a small fortune, but finally settled on products which do the business for me and im more than happy Have recently applied Gtechniq C1 Nanocoat to my car, which i managed to get my hands on :D Its like adding an extra layer of laquer to the paint, it sheets water amazingly, and beads really nice as well! It should last me over a year as well, no more waxing for me :grin:

great guide! would never of attempted it without this, but i managed to get the new matrix in yesterday, but had to put the seat, wheel and clocks back in to drive to work in it this morning :lol: took a lot longer than i thought it would, but i had boost pipes in the way etc! is there an easy way to get the clips off the pipes, they were a right pain and i had to use mole grips in the end, but still took ages!!!!

the rolling mug shot :lol:

i think i had 30mm at least for the rears with 8's, and they were perfect, so 40mm should be good as you have flared arches (note: my memory isnt the best :lol: )

oh, but i did claim whip lash and had a few physio sessions, got a pay out of £1700 for that which helped make up for what i lost, claim for what you can i say

only just seen this thread, feel for you mate! been there as well, i had someone write off my VR last year :( a new rear panel and rear wing from vw is expensive, i paid £1300 or something all in to have it fitted, thats without having it painted, and didnt include new rear bumper, lights etc... i got it repaired and my mate has since brought it off me and had it resprayed, but i would say its a write off that :(

my car could do with some of that on it :wink: :lol:

i prefer the looks of other lambos, but i bet in the flesh its very nice!!

did you not get the D90's? and what coilovers you buy, KW V1's?

you love it :afro:

fair play mate!

that sunroof seal is amazing, cant believe the difference to my one :shock: top work mate - as usual

:lol:

they are the ones that PVW had originally arent they? he had them on his R32, still got the poster from the mag as it looks well nice i think 8)

my mrs hits a curb every 3-4 weeks

my matrix has gone and the passenger side is wet, the joys of corrado ownership hey! at least its suppose to be dry this weekend so i can do it

does sound like you have air in the system to me

i like the black actually, some nice wheels on KW's and you will be ready for a turbo thats for sure :lol:
