New Alloys [ATTACH=CONFIG]51393[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]51394[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]51395[/ATTACH] -
Hi everyone, Thought it was about time i put up a build thread for my Rado as I’ve been spending a little time & money on her. I bought the Rado Of Abdul in May 2011 (previous owner prior to that was Swompy). So she was in pretty good shape already. My to do list consisted of; •New alloys Done::thumbleft: •New Discs (Drilled & Grooved) Done::thumbleft: •Fit new alarm system (whilst sorting central locking) Done::thumbleft: •New stereo Done::thumbleft: •Full valet Done::thumbleft: •Adjust the upholstery & get split seems fixed. Need to look at the doorcards as they have holes were they shouldn't. (Kinda Cheated & ened up getting a whole new late speck interior). Done::thumbleft: •Clip the heat shield. Unfortunately I’ve had a run of bad luck with people reversing into me (keep forgetting to turn my cloaking device off); http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?57568-doesn-t-matter-were-you-park!!!!! Luckly the second time I got reversed into I saw it happen & the fella who did it gave me £500 cash to fix the bent Panel & damaged front bumper. After many quote I came to the conclusion I couldn’t afford complete respray but got offered a reasonable price on repairing & respraying from the windows down. The Rado has been in the repair shop for a week now & should be ready to pick up on Friday. Pics to follow.

I recomend Dell as well. I have purchased two lappys from them. The first was about 5years ago & still using it now with out any faults the second was an Alienware on an impulse buy but is made well & have had no problems with it. Dell gets the :thumbleft:

Rorgasm replied to CorradoWannabe's topic in Event Announcements & Discussion
Krispy Kreme drive threw......in the middle of a Rado meet........ chaaaaaaaa, im there:thumbleft: -
yep......doesnt seem to happen in the winter but i try my best not to let the window all the way down (also have a metal bar in the door frame so i can wedge it closed in emergancys). so yeh ive work with that issue:smug:
-
Isn't there usual excuse "i sneezed & lost control"?? Least it wasn't a Rado:smug:
-
How did you get on with this matt?? Thinking of changing my headlights but worried if i get some in-pro id find them a bit too bling as well.
-
I definately learnt a lot today as well:smug: Got a PM for a brand new custom Mani for £160 delivered so could be my option.
-
That would be my Valver:smug: i assume i would need it remapped if i did the above suggestions Can't find a 4 branch ex manifold for toffee :scratch: I swear i read a thread that the mk2 golf mani fittied the 1.8 though???.......... i did; http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?33645-Will-a-16v-mk2-golf-4-branch-manifold-fit-a-valver found this on my travels as well http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?54465-corrado-1-8-16v-4-branch-manifold hope that helps the 1.8 crew:cool:
-
Ok that'll give me some homework to do:geek: So obviously trying to find a 4 branch manifold for a 16 2.0l Corrado on google isn't the easiest thing to find:scratch: is any other car compatable??? Also a 'flowed head' any recomended companies?? Thanks for your time once again guys:thumbleft: will get some pics up on a thread Abdul.......possible respay next month;)
-
Cheers for the advice Abdul, ive started a new thread http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?60590-Increase-16v-Bhp&p=768385#post768385 about upgrading the 16v engine if anyone has any advice feel free to help me out:thumbleft: Rory
-
Following on from a thread I created yesterday about converting a 16v to a G60 I thought I’d give more of a sensible trail of thought & start off with what I could do to the 16v engine to increase its power & how I would go about it (companies to use, rough cost). Been in the back of my mind to replace all the gaskets & rings so if I do go down that route it would be a perfect time to look at pushing up the BHP. Would love to hear some advice as I haven’t got a clue when it comes to engine upgrades. Cheers guys Rory p.s forgot to say i already have medium lift Cams fitted (by Swompy).
-
Cheers for the info guys:thumbleft: Will be creating another thread on what i could do to my 16v a bit meatier would be great if you have any knowledge on that (explore all my options).
-
Great thread:smug: Love my Valver (thanks Abdul:dance:) & it's been playing on my mind about the VR6 & G60. Always feel that the valver kinda get left out which has been making me think should i have gone for the VR6. Maybe im just longing for something i already have & just need to get the wallet out to get the extra power im hungry for:shrug: (can feel a new thread coming on). Never been in a VR6 so i wouldn't know the difference but it's nice to see there is love for the Valver:thumbleft: Rory
-
Ok, just an idea that probably a lot of you guys have considered (or not). what complecation would i have to over come to convert a Valver engine into G60. I'm assuming the engine mount & gearbox mounts are different?? Know of a written of G60 & it's got the grey matter ticking:scratch: Has anyone done this???? Rory
-
I thought i had read about a meet at some point. Thanks for putting up the link:thumbleft: Was more than happy to donate on behalf of Forum to help Brooklands. Thanks for the offer of a refund though:smug: Just about to view our plot now. Hopefully see you all over there in May:cool:
-
For some reason i thought we were going to have a meet up there as well at some point....has that been talked about or am i just loosing the plot?? All paid & thanks for organising Adrian How many people donated in the end?
-
Ebaytastic for caps. I got a set for my old alloys & i was supprised how good they were for the price. P.s Love the colour & the wheels:thumbleft:
-
I think your right Dubnut. Any info i find states it's not needed. where is the switch located? is it accessable if i take the gator & surround off?? Rory
-
Cheer guys, thought it must have rear fogs. Quick inspection in daylight & a wiggle of the wires showed an intermitant connection. Annoying as it is, best outcome. recrimped & all is well:thumbleft: Now for the reverse light that isn't working (it isn't the bulb)........any ideas??? Rory
-
Morning all Was hoping someone could shed some light on my fog light switches. I have two Fog light switches on my dash, both light up when I push them but only my front fogs come on. One of the fog light switches seems to turn the other switch on but still no change, just the front fogs come on. The switchers don’t seem to be Left & Right front fogs so im assuming it’s front & back Fogs??? I’ve had a look in my Bentley manual & it doesn’t say anything about rear fogs (haven’t check wiring diagram though). Thought I’d check as it’s M.O.T day tomorrow & don’t wanna be outside with my multimeter all day
-
Ohhh go on then, would be nice to put a face to some of you guys. i know Jake is keen to see if i've been looking after his excorrado. Send me a pm with details & i'll transfer some cash this evening:thumbleft:
-
Nice work Pete, i'll be up for a set of those:thumbleft:
