The "what I did to my Corrado today" thread...

Recommended Posts

Riley Hope the feds throw the book at them, but then the courts will probably let them off cos they didn't have a teddy when they were kids!

 

Got the valver running again after 5 mths (can't believe its that long) in the yard. Spent a day de-rusting the discs lol, and the batt did not repond to recharging so had to get her a new one. Washed her, but needing a full clean and polish though. Met up with Yandards and compared his Koni T/A H&R set up to my Koni T/A Eibachs which crash and bang something horrid and I just HATE driving her. So the Eibachs are for the bin (unless anyone wants them once they're off) and H&Rs here I come.

 

Missed you all at BVF :(

Finally converted the one remaining green switch to red yesterday, gonna have a crack at fixing my heater controls today which should mean that my aircon buttons light up red and the illumination conversion is complete! Woooo!

 

Though am considering reversing the LCD screens now... :roll:

 

Gotta try and temporarily sort the headlining out til I get some new fabric... :(

After driving Yandards valver yesterday :) :) - many thanks - and realised how AWFUL my present front suspension is (Koni T/A inserts & Eibachs) have ordered new Koni T/A full struts and a set of H&Rs. Also had a shufti at the top mounts (why do vag call these 'suspension strut storage'?) which don't look too healthy at all despite having been replaced so they are destined for the bin.

Also have a list of other stuff to do now so might be on this thread a bit more soon :)

Went to swap my sunvisors for swanky VR6 Passat ones only to find that they sit at the wrong angle and look just wrong... And this was after I'd modified the wiring plugs to suit... Grrrr.... Stropped out and started stripping trim in preparation for getting the headlining out instead...!

Fitted my new abs sensor, only for the abs light to come on past 15mph as expected. So went to VW to get 2x abs rotors only to be told I may need some 'covers' as well? Decided that these covers are tosh (ready to be wrong :lol:) so got my new rotors, got in the car to head to work and the abs light didn’t come one once all the way to work!

 

Crazy rados!!

 

Also fitted my key blade into a VW flick key, just need to either recode my alarm to accept the new key fob or ‘squeeze’ my existing fob circuit bored into the flick key. As seen here: Flick key

Amen, love those wheels - very nice :D

 

Only thing I've done recently is strip the interior off the driver's door, removed the side mouldings on the offside ready for spraying and kept telling myself I'm going to have a rado that's all one colour soon... ...and have the spot on the bumper touched up, the door sills sprayed, slight crease on the passenger door smoothed out...

 

:D
