bkr6eix.... so does the 6 stand for the heat?

cheers for the info man, tbh that helps me alot as it explains why some say "you an idiot for putting any standard plugs on a boosted VR and some say its fine, but tbh, the people saying its fine are the you lot on the forum and my good friend OBD-Works so i definitely sticking with u guys, ive ran these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NGK-IRIDIUM-SPARK-PLUGS-x6-VW-CORRADO-2-9-190bhp-VR6-ABV-06-95-BKR5EIX-/151352419806?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item233d4ea5de since ive had the car, and always been perfect, but the last plug change was done by someone other than OBD-works (due to convenient circumstances at the time) and hes one of those I KNOW EVERYTHING guys, and tbh he is good (drag bike pedigree) and he was saying your an idiot for putting standard gaps in bla bla bla and sort of made me feel like a spanner and i let him do the plugs, but since that its started like grap and it seems to be over fueling like mad, i went for a blap the other day and my mate behind me genuinely had to wash his window cus of the fuel splatting on it. So im now going down the "aint broke dont fix" way of thinking and go back with the iridiums as they have always been perfect and ive never had problems with them. so unless you tell me that im about to make a huge mistake and the iridiums will explode my engine then im guna go with those :D Thank you mr bacon! as always your time is appreciated no excuse, get back out there, take them out! NOW! haha no worries man, thanks for being helpful anyway, as always :fondle:

theres a facebook corrado page? im game, SC VR6 in oxford

yer im tempted now tbh, guna scope the bay later and see where one might look nice

nice man, have to look into this! Absolute legend thanks mate!!!!

good feedback thanks man, very helpful!

its just split where the house meets the rubber disc valve exterior so i think just the part. Dont suppose you know a link? or where/ what i need to ask for?

do u know if they were gaped differently? or straight fit?

mines split, but a little K & N filter came with my SC kit few years back to replace it, i was deterred by oil splatting all over my bay? has anyone got any experience of this? Or is it one of those, dont really matter things

yer more info the merrier, it seems turbo and charged need different ones, and the main choice is either NGK: BKR5EKU or BKR7E who knoooooooooows

sorry would help if i said about the engine... forced via charger @ 9psi.. 320ish bhp, drive rather hard but not every week, up rated bosch injectors supplied with the charger kit, cams and all usual stuff

mr bacon or anyone else, i did have a look to save asking a question thats probably been asked 1000000000 times.... BUT what do we all think on plugs? want to give the problem child a plug and oil change.. and everyone seems to suggest different... so what do the experts think?

quite a nice little pioneer unit http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PIONEER-KP-7800-Retro-classic-old-skool-1970s-1980s-car-stereo-radio-cassette-/331570178456?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item4d331f6998

FOUND ONE! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-Classic-ORION-SRC-2000-car-radio-/400925177228?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item5d5900b58c

Surely even that unit will need re tuning every time? Unless the original sony has an analog fm tuner and external EQ? Also what sort of time scale do you see fit to disconnect the battery? i leave mine sometimes for upto a month in the garage battery connected? it is a bosch 4 star, but am i running any risks? or are you just being extra careful?

i have one, but you can get them from here brand new for £70, same place i got mine from, be patient though as mine took a while as it came straight from germany http://www.madmotors.co.uk/rieger-vw-corrado-abs-plastic-rs-line-front-grille-inc-spoiler.html

:salute:

Yes, 6x 13.5inch JL Audio W3's were optional extra from factory though haha

yer 100% anything you need ill sort you out! Got my Audio build starting on the 8th to excited. Beetle is just a bit of fun really something everyone can enjoy not just us, we and she doenst take itself to seriously. Cant say the same for the owners S5 though haha

Thats our beetle!!!!!!! :dance::dance::afro: Did you like her? Sorry i didnt make it in the end, bit gutted

wasnt a personal dig jimothy, im just saying if the forum itself seems 50/50 that the corrado isn't guna be a classic, the car they actually own, good luck persuading said people a mk4 golf is guna be one.

dude these lot dont even say the corrado is a decent car so good luck with taking them into a mk4 golf. Seen endless threads about how the C aint all that and isnt good enough bla bla bla lol

must loose about 100bhp in the transmission

hahaha shut up, just shut up, i still cant believe i did, when i say too many i dont mean beers :mrgreen:, if that helps justify it it still makes me laugh now, and when i have to explain to people what happens every time i get abused, deserved though, and no because being me i did a bloody good job of it and reinforced the small bits either side of the sunroof n everything ha

and before you say, i hd peeled the cloth of about 2 months before and the lining was just sat at my mates garage... F ck my life haha
