mrbeige 0 Posted May 10, 2008 PFR pads are really good, like em a lot. LOOVE the yellow red and black colour theme Riley! Works well :shock: :notworthy: Had them on MrsBadcrumble with the 280mm's. Must say I don't rate them. Much preferred the Ferodo 2500 pads I had previous to those on the 256's! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
junkie 0 Posted May 10, 2008 I was just going to say if you like them then you need to try the Ferodo DS 2500's Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boost monkey 0 Posted May 10, 2008 Hobbit pads?! :lol: PFRs need a little heat in them (not as much as greens do) before they start working well, but then again so does an engine so who cares :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

boost monkey 0 Posted May 10, 2008 Maybe Pagid 280s are not very good then in your experience. I know the 256s are great, but am unsure why they differ so much. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Needless to say, I wont be going Pagid again. But it's funny, they get a lot of positive comments (you included) maybe I had a bad set :? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
junkie 0 Posted May 10, 2008 All i can say regarding the DS2500 is they take a little heat on 305's to get really really good then as they get proper stinking hot with serious abuse they just get better and better with no fade. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree, exactly the same on the 256's. Require a little work to get warm, albeit good from cold, awesome when hot!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Riley 0 Posted May 10, 2008 Yeah they tend to need only a little heat to wake them up, but nice progressive breaking which is good enough for me these days :D Yet to find out how well they last, how dusty they are etc obviously...but happy so far, esecially over the ones that 'dropped out' :lol: Neil.

Riley 0 Posted May 18, 2008 Can i have some idea's of value please guys? :) Its got some pretty individual touches never seen on a corrado before, i have new wishbones with bushes/front top mounts/rear top mounts/tie rods/track rods on the way for it as i was just replacing them all as a matter of course. Its pretty much a finished project, only needs a couple of things finishing and that would be a propper 3 vdo gauge holder as i made a temporary one, fitting the nitrous kit if you so wish, and a new rear abs sensor needed, and a new drivers sun visor as the current one is half modified for something i never got around to doing, and the exhaust is blowing slightly.

joedakio 0 Posted May 18, 2008 its a tough one bud. I'd say from your perspective you shouldnt accept any less than £4k. whether thats what the market thinks is another matter! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
junkie 0 Posted May 18, 2008 I think Mr Beige has a sun visor for sale Neil. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iow_corrado_g60 0 Posted May 18, 2008 did you sort out the problem with the engine then mate? wat was the problem in the end Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Riley 0 Posted June 8, 2008 Nah problem still there... :( Went to a rolling road day at Awesome yesterday...A few of us went and it was a good do :) Thought i may as well find out what the corrado is putting out, here's a couple pics first. Me and Joe, the only Corrado's there waiting to get on the rollers. And onto the rollers being strapped down, i asked them not to strap it through the wheels :oops: so they were there messing about for a while! I was getting worried at this point... And the figures/graph. 203.6 brake horse and 184lbs ft of torque, i don't know if this is a good result, but im very happy with the way it puts the power down (bottom graph) And this is with my 3 year+ running problem! Clicky here for video. Neil. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slimg60 0 Posted June 8, 2008 Cool 8) Really like to get mine done but I'm scared it'll probably blow up! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ninoG60 0 Posted June 8, 2008 Cool 8) Really like to get mine done but I'm scared it'll probably blow up! Thats what I thought but I went for it with mine 175 Bhp and 187 lb ft torque Happy with the result seeing as im running with a charger thats never been serviced (100K) and 70mm pulley and unknown chip Video below Sorry to Hijack your thread Neil lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dirtytorque 0 Posted June 9, 2008 can't argue with those figures mate :0) :salute: I rekon u should get a wideband of some description so you can see what the fueling is doing. It might point you in the right direction in relation to you know what. :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Riley 0 Posted June 10, 2008 No worries Manny 8) Aye, may look into the wideband jobbie...just need to understand them a bit more first as i like to learn before buying sommet blind so to speak. The corrado is now up on Awesome gti's site too :D Piccy here Rolling road graph Video? Also check here for Joe's g60 corrado, and Manny's mk2 g60... Neil.

Riley 0 Posted June 17, 2008 Finally found a reasonably priced rear abs sensor for the rear left! Nice new one: Old one broke upon trying to remove (common) so the sensor/magnet bit was stuck tight in the hub, a little tip is to place a 13/14mm socket over it and knock it out...just means removing the caliper/carrier/disc. And if you don't at least have some emory paper or ideally a small finger file you will never get the new sensor in...You have to clean the hole back to absolute bare metal, and then apply a small amount of copper grease. And removed...No abs light blinding me anymore :D Neil. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Neil. Good numbers, is joes standard as there is no spec next to his image on the website.I assume joe's is the one with the early grill in black with BBS's? Wish I'd known about this I would of tagged along need to my car back on the Awesome rollers to see if I've fixed the fueling issue I had last year. Oh well! :| Your looking at around 200lb/ft at the flywheel from what I can workout. :) If you know of any other days at awesome before Spetember/October time please let me know. :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Riley 0 Posted June 23, 2008 Hi mate, aye i guess the figures are alright...And yep Joe's is the standard one, just lowered on the original bbs. :) We are starting to organise a day at awesome on Volksdevil here and here. :) Where did you get the sensor from? Cheers. Good ol' ebay mate :) there's a guy finally started selling them on there. 8) get them to see how it fuels at your next MOT. :salute: nothing wrong with it in terms of making power though. :) Cheers mate, it fuels spot on at mot :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
