Feel for you mate. I think I've done another head gasket. The life of a Corrado owner. -

Dropped it off at OBD works. Started it up first time for a while and noticed Some blue smoke when driving it. Also throttle isn't holding on revs. Has an inconsistent wobble and Coolant over pressuring and ****ing out. Seems maybe head gasket although only had it done 7/8k miles ago at stealth. Going to get it tested Monday. Preparing for the worst. Still going to get the work done Sears and all but just want to know what's happening and asses what I need to do and what it will cost. I f ing hate this car sometimes. Does look awesome though haha. An expensive love affair. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

EJ Taylor replied to EJ Taylor's topic in Ebay and Misc
wheels are fine, its a combination of a 225 width and a 25 profile on a 16" rim that stuffs it, same fitment on a 15" would fit, external circumference is just to big, i raised the coilovers 100mm and still no chance, cant turn properly. -

Is there anything better than car parts? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

sorry i never replied mate! just seen this!!!! Slight hijack of a topic here but is there any benefit to adding injection to a NA VR6? yes, i think so, will higher your octane and lower your intake temp so thats only going to have positive affects on your engine. I guess the principle is the same but the impact would be less due to the lower deltaT? That said, the VR does run hot so would it benefit from the lowering of temp? as above. Would this also need to be progressively controlled? I see Devils Own do a voltage controlled system picking up from the MAF sensor. vince recommended keep it simple, so accommodate the corrados simple ECU, didnt look into a maf voltage kit but thats obv the NA version. boosted version works of the psi, although many complicated and im sure effective kits are out there, vince at stealth said from experience keep it as simple as possible, so ive gone for the simple on/ofpsi sensing kit. SOOO many questions, but the real big one is; is it worth it? Booked in to be dropped of june 25th, so ill let you know when i do!!!! I highly expect it will be though haha

with the compomotives, and the brembo calipers, going to be fap worthy! thinking about these as well http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/172186988091

ABS is coming out aswell, so will be fun getting used to the limits of traction along side the R888,s and Quaife LSD

http://www.caraudiocentre.co.uk/product_m-alpine-cde-183bt_p-31991.htm# £280 down to £155 just because the models now been replaced on alpines range. well worth it for that!!!! Also has front facing USB and can change illumination colours, can even set EQ bands and frequency pass filter slopes!!!!!! Great unit for £155 -

EJ Taylor replied to dr_mat's topic in ICE 'n' Secure
also, i say microphone fit, anything with an integrated microphone stay away from, they are always awful and no1 will ever be able to hear you when your actually come to use it. Alpine units as with all main brand have bluetooth audio streaming aswell as hands free
