Looks solid dude...... happy motoring. I hope she treats you well. Just be aware, these are money pits lol.

Hello buddy, thanks for the comment. I have tried to do this and failed miserably. Fidley is NOT the word for this job, more like BALL ACHE. That being said, its still not done. More so, i have not seen my car for nearly four week. Some stupid lady reversed in to the front, on a PETROL STATION FORECOURT!!!!! Its now sat in Hayes at the body shop awaiting parts, THREE WEEKS after collection!!!! On the plus side, i bought a new lump for this bad boy, gone down the 2.0 ABF route. This is due to be dropped in shortley, however that is i can have my car back sometime soon!!!

Well basically it turned out to be the Alternator, along with the ignition switch. Changed the regulator on the Alternator lastnight which done the trick but its only a temp solution while i get a new Alternator. Ignition switch is getting done tonight..... just went to TPS for the new part, must be a common issue as its stocked and not an "order in" part so to say.

And after all the praise, its breaks down!!!

Cheers Abdul.....

Here is how it looks, after being driven down a motor for three hours lol...... ---------- Post added at 12:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:20 PM ---------- Thanks for the compliment dude. I didnt sort the problem out as its still smoking a little, lol.... its defo the head and steam seals that need changing. I will rebuild the same head soon, engine is fine as it took me to Leeds and back covering a good 500 miles with no problems. That confirms the engine is still good. Had a few problems, air/fuel mixture was pants, coolant was leaking all over the show, oil pressure swtich decide to break and was ****ing oil out as soon as it warmed up but them being fixed its running nice. Started to run it on V-Power as well, good god its damn good.

UPDATE: 500 MILE ROAD TRIP. Ok so i been sorting my engine out and i think its running ok for now, far better than what it was when i first got it. Decided to hit the road and drove from London to Leeds Friday night. What can i say, it was a total pleasure driving this thing up the motor way, sailed along, and the amount of people who look at the car was something to be amazed by. £60 V-Power went in Friday, did a good 300 miles on that tank so personally i dont think i can complain.

Hi Mate, please can you send pics to [email protected]

Will the 2.0 16V clocks fit my 1.8 16V 1990?

Pictures please?

Bro, keep this for me and ill take it next weekend.

haha Abdul, your right i doo need more power in to the sub so i can wake up the neighbours, lol.........

Can i just add to this, JL Audio subs are very good quality subs. The sound quality is impressive and controlled. Im running a 12 w3 in a sealed box and the sound is very smooth and nice, more in car sound than they "waking up ya nabiours" crap you get in Chav rides, lol..

Its mine if you still have it come pay day :)

How did you do that? Tell me as i have to do mine as its too bloody cold lol. ---------- Post added at 04:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:53 PM ---------- Hi Mate, how did you do this without taking the whole dash out, gotta do mine asap as i need heating haha.

Loving the colour combo on the interior and exterior.

Hi, I noticed that my heaters werent working very well after fixing my coolant issues. I finally changed the thermostat tonight along with a faulty oil pressure switch. After doing so there is some hot ait coming out on fan speed one howeverwhen i put this higher it air goes cold. Both top and bottom pipes running to the radiator are warm when the engine has wamred up, the bottom one was always cold before i did the thermostat. Anyone got any ssuggestions before i decide to change the heater matrix? Thanks Veejay

haha got the same window problem on mine too..... mine packs in while its up but then soon after it will start to work..... not looked in to that yet as you learn to work with these issues, haha or i have anyway

I have done the joey mod on a set of In Pro head lights to see what they turned out like, if any one wants to see them, send me your number so i can send you a pic. If you like them, i can finish the second one so make me an offer and they are yours. Cheers. Veejay.

Hi, thanks for your compliment.... absolutly love this car, and driving it too even though its not quiet running as i would like it to but hey i will get it to the standard i want it to be at.

Hi, thanks for the compliments, there car is now looking some what different to those first pictures i uploaded but im having trouble putting more up. Im thinking about doing my lights tonight (Insides in satin black).

im doing mine tonight, hope i dont break anything in the process. :)

Finally got round to doing my badge last night. Here's a before and after shot. Looks pretty decent and its effortless. Just be sure to apply the paint in layers, if you simply sray away you will see the paint starts to run and will look crap.

Here's some of mine, since then its had a badge in the back which was missing, side rub strips removed... hopefully more happening in 2012 though

Hi Peeps, Would anyone be able to tell me weather or not i can fit late door cards into an early spec corrado? Thanks Veejay.
