big ben

any updates on the beast??

agree with that comment, but you obviously lost motivation as you were driving around in a very nice corrado anyway

thats what i did with mine, big decision though... shame as i couldnt wait to see this finished :(

wow, that sounds incredible!!

nothing in it mate, will be cranking the boost up next year beacause cant have them sort of cars keeping up can we 8) :lol:

think i will be ordering 10 litres of 10w50 later then, stock up :D

:lol: thanks, try and take lots of pics when i do stuff, i like to see what people get up to :) and i havent raced many things, x1 2005 BMW M3, x2 Honda type R's, x2 Audi RS4's, Merc AMG and a saxo :lol: but like you say, people in them sort of cars are no fun anyway, cant wait to see you car on the road, will be a beast!!!

this car will be the bollocks, would love something like this as a daily :D please keep us updated, im sure you will :salute:

sounds good to me!! dont get me wrong he did pull away a bit, but barely, he must of looked in his mirror and thought WTF? :lol: thats what having a corrado VRT is all about, cant beat it

looks amazing, keep up the good work!! :salute:

all good fun, and your maths seem spot on Kev :grin: and driving 170 on our roads just isnt realistic im sure you would agree, be good fun though!! i know what you mean about getting to 140ish and it slowing down a bit, be nice to pull hard all the way to 160 wouldnt it bet that 911 was awesome, would like to of seen that little race!!

just a quick update, nothing special, just had a race a couple days ago with one of these; merc.JPG[/attachment:354kenj1] the guy was on his own and i had the mrs and her brother, and this thing could barely pull away :grin: so i obviously come home and googled them, the 2006 Merc CLS55 AMG is 470bhp :shock: i would of easily kept up if i was on my own to, so was pretty chuffed!! its the only car to pull away from me so far, and that was only slightly :)

no worries, good luck, im sure you will get them out!!

i would be tempted to try a 2000 grit wet sand and then use this polish http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/polishing ... d_215.html on a polish/cutting pad... or it probly would work out cheaper to buy one 2nd hand :lol:

defo buy a new one, you can send it back in 3 years if it breaks, they are pretty good to be honest

should machine polish out, not sure what polish would work best though, im sure most would depending on the depth...

think i will be picking up a copy tomorrow to :grin:

would love to hear your reasons :lol: looks a good condition mk2 though, white is the colour which is doing it for me to at the min!!

well said :salute:

you will want more power though :lol: you have a decent N/A bhp but you now want a supercharger, then soon you will spend loads of money trying to squeeze a few more bhp out of it again, and still you will want more power.... if you have the money go turbo, im running a slow VRT and dont feel the need to go faster, i know maybe next year i will be going for more boost, but only beacause i can 8) i havent come up against something that is faster than mine, so there isnt a need to go faster and faster

:lol: not sure if im going to be there yet though mate, will see nearer the time!!

i use this karcher pressure washer http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/p ... ARCHER.htm the snow lance is this http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/washing-a ... d_371.html snow foam is this http://www.i4detailing.co.uk/acatalog/S ... _5L_1.html if you look at the picture i have with the snow lance, there is 2 bits of tape on it, i fill to the top of the first bit with snow foam and then up to the 2nd bit of tape with turtle waz shampoo to bulk it out (it was £3 for 5 litres at asda) it is very good foam though and you dont really need the shampoo to be fair.

it would be a good job, dont know about in the winter unless you have a heated unit to work in. And i would be exactly the same, i cant do a quick clean :lol:

thats what i thought, then some arse hole just parks in your bumper to piss you off (check my members thread) :bad-words:

didnt put any wax on. Will be putting 2 layers of fk1000p at the wkend when i have done the whole car :grin: as i was using only speeds 1 and 3 on the MAC (it has 9 speeds), i will up the speed and apparently i will get the finish im after with what i have already. So looking forward to giving it another go!! and like you say, i will give it a go over with the SRP still, after using the pro polish i have
