rayb74 0 Posted March 12, 2005 OMG I am new to this forum and corrado. The only thing I would really like for my C at the moment is to upgrade the Interior as it is prety naff. Yours looks at first glance exactly like a corrado interior but just oozes quality . Nice very subtle.I looked at those piccys of yours and nearly shot my load !!!!! No joking aside that is a nice car the only thing I dont like is the wheels or the way they sit on your rims. They dont look natural but the rest of the car does. I havnt bothered reading all of the thread or I would be an old man before I finish reading it, so have you any other plans for it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thats probably down to taste, come along to a show and have a look for yourself. The wheels and ride height will make perfect sense in that environment. De-badging and a set of splitrims don't cut the mustard nowadays unfortunately. For the future, the theme will always be the same but i'll continue to improve the overall quality of the car.

Guest Posted March 13, 2005 Here's a quick pic to give you an idea. No major changes, just lifting the bar a little with more underside detailing. Brakes are behind schedule but should be in place for GTI Spring Festival. BTW, if you've got a pic of my car from behind on the M1 be sure to post it :wink: Very shiny, what are they????? :?[/quote:e3600] Looks like hifi bits to me, not sure what the round things are though :?

A20 LEE 0 Posted March 14, 2005 Rear brake sheilds? thats right, they weren't too bad to do. Think i'll powdercoat them clear too as it can be a complete pain re-chroming stuff every two years. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pretty much all of them with the exception of Inters, its not worth the fuel. More of a trade show these days. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A20 LEE 0 Posted March 24, 2005 A sneaky pic of my new brakes which arrived today. Bit late for Elsecar but they will be in place for GTi Spring Festival in a month. Should fill my rims nicely :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blue_Joe 0 Posted March 24, 2005 Putting them next to a size 5 shoe does make them look quite large doesn't it!!! joker: Only kidding - looking good!! What brakes are they AP Racing??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There made by a company called Hi-Spec Motorsport. The quality is stunning and well worth the three month wait. The calipers are massive. Believe me, Bremo's are not Big Brakes.

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted March 26, 2005 There made by a company called Hi-Spec Motorsport. The quality is stunning and well worth the three month wait. The calipers are massive. Believe me, Bremo's are not Big Brakes. How are you going to get those behind the RHs? Make sure Hi Spec don't feck you about as I've read some stories on Audi forums about squealing problems and warping discs etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Make sure Hi Spec don't feck you about as I've read some stories on Audi forums about squealing problems and warping discs etc. The discs are 28mm thick and i drive the car very gently these day's, so don't think i need worry about warped disc. Hi Spec are hard work, quoted 3weeks delivery, took 12 :roll: Ordered some 30mm RH spacers (£75 :shock: ) for clearance, thank goodness for wide arches.

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted March 26, 2005 I know, £75 is cheap if that's what you meant by :shock: My 20mm ones cost £80 curiously though...more money for less metal, LOL! H&R adapters cost £180 for 2! Are the HiSpecs 6 pots? They are good brakes, no question. Surprised the thickness is 28mm though, thought they'd be 30s or 32s. What diameter are the discs? Are they alloy bell jobs? Nice.....

CoxyLaad 0 Posted March 26, 2005 hang on a minute, I thought you told us in a previous post that your rims already stick out beyond the arches? and now you are spacing them out further - sorry to say this but it could end up looking like a comedy car :roll: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your have a choice of thickness so i plummed for the narrowest to give me room to breath if you know what i mean. Yes they have shiny alloy bells :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CoxyLaad 0 Posted March 27, 2005 had a look at your motor today at elscar mate - obviously a lot of work gone into it :D personally I would have different wheels on, ones that stay under the arches and also ones where the tyres arent so stretched......but then again wheels are all down to personal taste and I am firmly stuck in the mid to late nineties as far as taste goes - give me a set of 17" compomotive MOs and I am happy :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
