Hi Rob, I would like these please. Just been fitting the 'humped' rear seat in mine. Just sent payment via paypal.

dumptyboy, they arrived yesterday. They are in better condition than you suggested! Very happy, thanks.

Sounds good to me. Please pm your payment details. Cheers, Phil. Graphite, sorry. Thank you for the offer :)

Hmmm, that seems a bit steep to me. KIPVW sold a pair a couple of weeks ago for £10 delivered. See post #20 of this thread http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?78413-Breaking-8v-Headlight-amp-looms-Fuel-tank-What-do-you-need/page2 £10 seems fair to me, so if you can do them for that, you have a deal. I can pay by paypal, and postage would be to Essex. ---------- Post added at 5:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 5:04 PM ---------- Ok, cool, I'll keep an eye on the thread this evening :)

Yep, I have throttle bodies on my 9a. What do you want to know?

Thanks, you should have received payment this morning.

As in title, I need the vents in black, both left and right. Must be un-damaged. They have a screw fixing in the centre, so please don't try to lever them off. Photo below shows what I'm after.

Hi Dave I will take them. Id appreciate it if you could provide the missing clip. I'll send payment tomorrow as per your pm. Cheers Phil

That's a shame. I noticed in my local Chinese takaway that not only do they get to view the incoming callers number, it also shows their address. How about getting switchboard to ask for his details, as you are in a meeting? Can BT do anything?

I take the switchboard cannot see his number?

Tailgate latch plastic surround complete with excellent fixing studs - £12 posted Is this the trim which attaches to the bootlid around the latch? Do you have the plastic heater vents which attach to the transmission tunnel (Both sides) in black? I also need the black plastic trim which runs along the back of the headlining between the C pillar trims. Could you post photos of any of these bits that you have, so I can confirm they are what I need? Thanks, Phil

Is this still available Kevin? I could collect at the weekend.

Ah right ok. Cheers jason:)

The advert mentions 12v dc power is required, but also talks about using an inverter. is the inverter required?

Hi, how much for both late front door cards in black cloth? I can collect from Cambridge area as previously discussed.:) What condition are they in? Any damage?

if you like the car get a good 2nd hand boot lid, and wing, bolt on and carry on driving it. Or once a year pick the worst bit and get that repaired....

For an ABF to be factory as per the Mk3 Golf GTI, you would need to swap the injection etc over anyway. It's far easier to buy a 9a engined Corrado and swap the cams, than change the whole engine. AFR gauge is a bit of work to install, but it does enable accurate monitoring of the fuel mixture, and anyone with reasonable skill could install one. It's the intake cam that ruins the 9a, otherwise it is just a 2.0 kr.

The limitation with both 1.8 and 2.0 16v models for tuning is the fuelling system. The 1.8 has K-Jetronic and the 2.0 KE-Motronic. A well known modification for K-Jetronic to achieve improved fuelling for modified engines is the WUR (Warm Up Regulator) mod. KE-Motronic does not have the warm up regulator, but a very similar adjustment can be made. I have a 2.0 16v, which is 2008cc, 11:1 compression, has a flowed head, ABF cams (more lift than KR). With KE-Motronic and KR cams which were previously fitted it made 154bhp after fuel adjustments. I since fitted the ABF cams, megasquirt and ITBs. With only road tuning it is now 178bhp. I will be fitting a 4 branch manifold in the coming months, and then will get it tuned on a dyno to optimise fueling and ignition timing. My advice would be, get a 2.0 16v. If more power is required and you don't want to get a VR6 or G60, make sure it is running as it should be with no faults, then fit ABF cams. After this you really want a wideband AFR meter which will enable you to monitor adjustments to the fuel mixture and fine tune the mixture. Both K-Jetronic and KE-Motronic are limited in the adjustment available. This should see you at around 150bhp on the meanest dyno. If at this point you want more power, I would get an ABF intake manifold, injector rail, injectors, throttle body and suitable airbox. Then install a stand alone engine management system such as Megasquirt or Emerald. With this you can optimise the fuel and ignition to get the very best from the engine in it's current state. Now you should be up to around 160bhp and 150-160 Ibft of torque. After this you have all the components for taking full advantage of head modifications, after-market cams, capacity increases, or whatever else you want. The ABF injectors could become a limiting factor, and you would probably want to look into modifying a 1.8t injector rail or similar to enable the use of more readily available injectors.

My rear number plate is currently stuck to my rear bumper! I'd also like to be able to fit BBS G60 wheels (RZ IIRC). You can have them on a mk2 Golf, but not a Corrado :(

Hi Mark, the screw covers arrived on Saturday - exactly what I was after. Thanks again. Keep me posted on the door cards. :)

I can get past you before the first tunnel on the F40 event, but then it all goes wrong at the tunnel! Trying to follow you is impossible. Your F40 goes round corners like it's on rails, whilst mine just under-steers, and then over-steers and spins off LOL. The bi-plane is annoying, but I suppose it fits in this slightly more arcade style of Forza. I've not seen your store front, but will take a look.

I always find Galaxy really creamy and smooth. Imagine how much of that you could get with £50-£100!

Hi Stu, the gear surround arrived yesterday, perfect, thanks :)

Hi Mark, the centre console parts arrived yesterday - excellent, thank you. Don't forget I'm still interested in the door cards when you get a moment. Cheers, Phil

Sounds like a good idea, I too would be interested to see photos if you have any.
