big ben

was looking at your car all day mate, shes a beaut!!!!!!!!!! its made me want to go all the way with mine, take it to the next level... if it can be anywhere near yours i will be happy, it looks brand new!! love the brake shields to, awesome work... and the underneath looks so nice to!! im hoping to have the same work done to mine to make it all good, cant wait :D and it will be ready for edition mate dont worry, will come say hello, im sure if you show it you will win something

yeah its a nice car, needs some tlc and will be perfect... and yeah, come say hello mate!! will be there sat and sun

sure it wont take you long mate, it will be worth the wait :D

took some pics earlier today...... been giving it a good thrashing the last 2 days actually, even clocked it last night three's up :shock: wont be doing that again i dont think, but felt i had to see what i could get top end as you do and we all survived so all good... the old girl is looking very dirty right now, but i have booked a day off friday to get her ready for edition 38, then its going off to the boys at DG to work their magic so its all go at the min. Mods since last pics are: new number plate fitted last week and a new sticker which has given me over 20bhp extra :grin: at DG yesterday i had the following done: heatshield fitted to gear linkage, investigated small oil leak (chains), adjusted suspension and wheel alignment, found OS track rod bent :shock:, adjusted throttle idle stop to 13.7% and adjusted the idle damper... plus a good inspection and went on vagcom Corrado92.pdfgood pic1 [1024x768].JPG[/attachment:1f3sa61l] passat climatronic wiring diags.pdfgood pic2 [1024x768].JPG[/attachment:1f3sa61l] climatronic wiring-Golf from May 01.pdfgood pic3 [1024x768].JPG[/attachment:1f3sa61l] 2.8l 24v Climatronic system.pdfgood pic4 [1024x768].JPG[/attachment:1f3sa61l] good pic5 [1024x768].JPG[/attachment:1f3sa61l]

lets just say its going to DG for quite a while for an overhaul 8) will be looking brand spanking in and out and driving like a dream hopefully :D

nothing serious really thanks, a few bits here and there. Gear linkage was melting on the exhaust :shock: got a oil leak where the chains are, they are being replaced anyway!! then theere stuff with the camber and the steering, oh and a bent track rod :shock: put some new tyres on the front... and some idling adjustments to but its going back soon, got BIG plans for it :D

made it home safely after all that bloody rain... thanks for looking over the VRT anyway guys, cant wait to drop it off for more work now. Was interesting hearing what you guys had to say!!

I found that it's ok wearing a helmet in the corrado but being nearly nearly 6ft meant having the seat as low as possible and still you get a little knock on the window frame on a few corners. Custom seats will be going in my VRT to combat this.[/quote:355ikek5] your not messing about then mate :lol:

very interesting...

i would like to see vettel at mclaren, alonso is surely going to ferrar to...

:lol: :lol: :lol: would be weird wearing a helmet in my corrado i reckon.... i want to do a track day in it soon though :D

this is a teasing thread :grin: looking forward to seeing what you get up to, climate control sounds good to me to

vr6 turbo, ummmm 8) looking good anyway mate, sounds like your list of mods etc will be never ending like mine :D

looking very nice :D

the vege ones? yes mate, pretty sure it was those ones. I was told about them and done some research and some bad stuff came up on other forums, not sure if it was true, maybe have a search on google...

i have read some bad things about them engines you buy as well when i was looking into rebuilding/conversions etc... dont know if it was true but maybe worth a few searches

buy a 2.8 24v low mileage engine for £700 approx, apparently very easy to fit, with some research and a little bit of help i reckon you could fit it for around 2k... sounds a lot but worth it if your happy with the amount of power you get from the VR engine... im sure someone will add to this whats needed

well what a collection anyway, i would have a field day cleaning them up :D

what are the plans then daz?

looking good

close call, bet your glad you checked

Me too and sometimes i go the long way just so i can drive it that little bit longer :lol: .... possibly a sad thing to do. in no way is that sad, its sad not to have a nice car you enjoy driving :wink:

only problem with parking in the corner is someone might smash your window and try and steel stuff, seen it happen a couple of times

:2gunfire: UKPC

jesus mary and joesph, not good luck there... i park right outside a cash point in my local sainsburys on a double yellow weekly for the last 4-5 years at least... then i park in 2 spaces in all supermarkets in my rado, nothing been said touch wood...
