  1. Im in Stockton and I got a new corrado and sunroof stuck up on me so I just switched it with a glass one from my old corrado, so I didn't even bother to look why it was stuck. But if you want it you can just have it cause it's takin up space in the garage.
  2. In the final stages of installing a vr6 into my 1.8. Tried testing we had power and nothing happened couldn't even get my hazards to flash. Where my fuse box is there's a couple of terminals that don't connect to anything does anyone know what they are for? Used a fuse box diagram and all the connectors are in the right place to the best of my knowledge. Any other help would be greatly accepted. Cheers
  3. Well I've found the next problem...... I have no hoses on my engine. Anyone have any pictures of the fuel side of the engine?
  4. I've taken out all my engine and everything and then just relised there's two hoses that went from my air box to my fuel pump. Where and how would I fit these to my vr? They've still got the air box adapter bits attached but look like they can be split abit further down. Any help would greatly be accepted
  5. hey, im doing my own vr6 conversion and basically my driveshafts have decided after 21 years there rather attached to my engine and not moving. what drive shafts do i need to connect my vr6 to my 4 stud hub, my cars originally a 1.8 16v. cheers
  6. cheers people :) never did like following the norm so guess im onto a winner here lol I never could understand the rat look idea, why spend money on a car and then spend more money on making it look old and mistreated my wheels are ats cups, im wanting to get some 16" banded steels or something with a good bit of dish when i get the funds.
  7. Just like to start off saying i really should have started this post alot sooner and then things would have been easyer. Last year i joined the dub scene with a mk4 golf tdi thinking it be a rocket (WRONG). Quickly finding out why i got it for so cheap with it being the smallest of the tdi engines and as easy to tune as it is to teach a brick to float on water. Luckily for me another dub owner was soon gonna recieve a new family member and needed away with his nippy little sports car which i was more than happy to snatch off him. [ATTACH=CONFIG]50111[/ATTACH] As youll all agree standard headlights are terrible at night and living near the counrty side id like to be able to see at night so first thing i bought was some nice projector headlights and a bonnet bra cause i think with the square front end corrado's actually suit them very well. [ATTACH=CONFIG]50103[/ATTACH] I never really was a fan of badges as a kid and i like have random people telling me its pronounced sirocco not corrado [ATTACH=CONFIG]50104[/ATTACH] As we all know england is ether windy, raining, snowing or all the above. So thought id make car meetings a little easyer and stay dry a little longer thanks to some wind deflectors [ATTACH=CONFIG]50105[/ATTACH] Before anyone says it looks chavy im gonna agree and say it looked nicer in pics off there website. it will soon be getting replaced lol [ATTACH=CONFIG]50106[/ATTACH] I had this headunit in my mk4 golf and thought id try some bodging into place along with a volt meter........ i quickly scrapped that idea restored the dash and now have a nice flip out monitor [ATTACH=CONFIG]50107[/ATTACH] Always been a big fan of being different so thought why not make my interior match... all door cards and roof liner are now trimmed in this very unique design :) [ATTACH=CONFIG]50108[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]50110[/ATTACH] One thing i didnt understand why have sunroof you couldnt see out of? so found myself a glass sunrood and got it shipped over from german and spray the fabric black to match the roof liner [ATTACH=CONFIG]50109[/ATTACH] Well i tried spraying the orignal sun visors with spray paint and they didnt work so ordered some black ones out of a mk1 golf and cut them short and got black clips off a porsche [ATTACH=CONFIG]50091[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]50092[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]50093[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]50094[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]50095[/ATTACH] No dub is complete without a random amount of stickers for kids to read on long trips [ATTACH=CONFIG]50097[/ATTACH] Always wanted a set of these so thought may aswell and put a bit of strech of the tyres to allow for that extra lowness [ATTACH=CONFIG]50098[/ATTACH] Just incase my car didnt draw enough attention i thought may aswell make a few pops and bangs on gear changes so straight through from front to back box [ATTACH=CONFIG]50101[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]50102[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]50099[/ATTACH] So thats all the pictures i have for now. she sits about an inch off the floor and after all the mods hits 130 at a rather alarming pace and feels like theres still alot more to go however the gearbox wont allow it :( Future upgrades: 2.9 vr6 engine US side markers Tinted rear lights Upgraded fog light cluster
