Good work man! I'm literally just doing the dinitrol wax on the underside, arches and back of rear panel, under bumper. Just pooped I for my tea and then back to the garage :)

14000 for me in my Corrado is about 6 years worth of mileage! Plus when you look at them, they are literally rubber moulded into a metal case. Unlike engine mounts which are a little more complex.

I can probably return them... I hope

Gutted, I think I jumped on the Forum OEM only BS and got ripped off

Febi ones are £18.....I'm not sure how much different in quality a lump of rubber can be? I feel like I've been done!

Got my OEM rear axle bushes on recommendation from the chaps on here.....gotta say, they'd better be bloody magical for what they cost, £93 from Tps!

Yeah, that's the tricky thing. As it is a belt driven charger, the only way to get more boost is to start changing hardware. The stage 1 map just advances the timing a bit due to 98 Ron fuel in the UK and stops the venting of boost at high RPM.....but the lower end of the rev range (the bit you use daily) is no different. Stage 2 MRC involves a bigger drive pulley/new belt, stage 2 Revo is just a smaller SC pulley. Effect is the same (more boost) but MRC method gives better belt traction, although they have to take the front of the car off to get to the drive pulley behind the radiator. They also change the intake pipe work and mod the airbox, fit a bigger K&N filter I there.

The thing is, I did a lot of research and just going for stage 1 won't feel that much quicker, it won't boost any more....just makes it hold boost for longer. The stage 2 is indistinguishable from standard in normal driving, savage when giving it the beans but still very smooth.

Yeah, I'm actually fairly pleased that it isn't worse. Car is 21 yrs old now so it is to be expected. What I like about the Corrado is that the quality of the metal is very good, so when you do get rot, you don't have to cut much to get back to solid ground. I'll be dammed if I can get a mig in there and changing the whole panel for a 4cm x 7cm hole is over kill. I'm just going to patch it http://www.hotrodders.com/forum/por-15-mat-rust-hole-repair-157273.html#/forumsite/20624/topics/157273 S4 is a serial killer dressed as a businessman, basically I haven't been outgunned by anything yet...kinda makes it too easy :) love the way it is no fuss, can poorly to shops but also destroy a 911 or two when I fancy! Get it mapped! Stage 2 from MRC is £1400 for a mere 150bhp extra :)

Ah nuts, fuel filler looks ok from the outside..... But once I'd removed the fuel cap lock mech, I found that things were a bit rotten :( Hole got a little bigger once i cut all the rust out, luckily doesn't have any rust on the inside of the outer skin. Treated all the metal to this POR prep and ready stuff. Which is Zinc Phosphate Converts rust to a black inert substance. Will coat with POR15 when dry.

Well.....I haven't gotten to fitting the Toledo sunroof yet, having done the dash out last year......I really hope this goes a bit smoother!

Should be grateful that I don't have anything as bad as this going on http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?t=42455

There didn't look to be any rust at first, only with a pit of close inspection could I see the surface was deformed and so had a poke around ;)

Also removed the fuel filter that looked pretty corroded. Will also be dropping the rear beam, cleaning it up and fitting bushes. While I was there, I noticed the lip of the sill had some rusty stains so I started peeling sealant back. Again, just surface rust but a good job I got to it now. Then took an air sander to the tank straps and have them a coat of POR15

Having "fallen out" with the Corrado for a while after the sunroof broke, I've actually been told by a medical professional that I need to re-engage with my hobbies :) So no hassle from my wife for the moment! Last winter I stripped the front end, replaced a rotten wing, ball joints, track rods etc I've mean meaning to run my attention to the back end (ooh er) as I wanted to hunt for rust, do tank straps, fuel filter and rear beam bushes. First, bumper off. All looked good but a little digging found two fairly superficial rust patches in the corners These seem to be caused by water sitting in the chassis rail opening for the bumper and then penetrating down the seal. Easy enough to fix and metal is in good shape. Having removed the fuel tank and exhaust, I got a look at the underside. Looks worse than it is, all just surface rust but was well hidden by the original sealant. All these areas have had seemingly ok looking sealant removed. Just goes to show what is lurking! If I'd left them a couple more years then they would have become problems.

That looks sweet!

Also interested in the master cylinder. Cheers

Just found the FPR on my mk2 is ****ing fuel out of the vac line, broken diaphragm!

Thanks Kev, looks spot on. Found a better price for the same product on ebay (amazon was £9 delivery!) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Liqui-Moly-Silicone-Grease-Transparent-100g-3312-/321572102529 Cheers

Hi Andy, I'm just after the callipers and carriers. No need for disks/pads. £30 delivered?

Do the carriers also come with these mate?

Cool, I can't believe I chucked em as I put them on here for £20, no takers so binned!

Gutted, I chucked a set of vr6 calipers and carriers out a few month back :(

Looking for a set to build up with my Mk2 track car.

I'd also love to know what grease for the sunroof. About to put a moonroof in and want to lube up :) the silicone grease i got from Maplin is like treacle, don't dare use it to lube anything.
