mic_VR 3 Posted April 29, 2014 I miss that sound, but not the ugly tailpipe and your needing to give him a clean :lol: Sorry Bill :oops: But if it helps he's getting some more love and attention today, and I'll make sure he gets a wash/polish over the weekend Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted April 29, 2014 Ugly tailpipe??! That was one of the main appeals of the techtonics. Gone is the pretentious, big boy knobber shiney pipe, and replaced by a discreet pea shooter that makes the car look like it's a 1.6. Perfect for Stealth. I had the same system on my VRT and I'm sure people behind me couldn't quite see the correlation between the acceleration and exhaust size :lol: That's what makes me laugh about modern cars having two R32 style exhaust pipes. A lot of them are just diesels or 2.0 blando boxes. What's the point? Style over substance. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sean_Jaymo 0 Posted April 29, 2014 It's the exhaust I'm thinking of for when I get my standard system replaced. I had a milltek on my last car and liked it. Much prefer the idea of this though Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted April 29, 2014 This one is much better made than the Milltek and doesn't drone either! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mic_VR 3 Posted April 29, 2014 Indeed. The one thing the video doesn't convey (due to the road/wind noise) is the fact that cruising on the motorway is OEM quiet with this... I'll have to do another from inside! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BILLCOR 1 Posted April 29, 2014 It is a superb system, I just didn't like the scaffold pole look :lol: I actually bought an oval Borla tailpipe tip, but the bloody thing didn't fit due to the shape of the pipe from the back box, shame, as it looks damned good >> http://www.jegs.com/i/Borla/157/20155/10002/-1?parentProductId=744678 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mic_VR 3 Posted April 30, 2014 So I finally managed to get some tyres on the CH's and get them fitted to the car, apologies for the crap phone pics but I'll get some better ones when I get a chance But there are a couple of issues. 1) The steering feels heavier than with the Rota's on 2) They rub on the fronts so the suspension either needs to come up or made stiffer 3) But the main issue is clearance on the brakes is really really tight so I think I'll need to go up to 330mm setup which requires new carriers/bells/rotors... which are not cheap! Plus, now they're fitted I'm not entirely sure I don't prefer the Rota's...... so they may be coming straight off again :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
n3p 3 Posted April 30, 2014 Best wheel you can get for the C ;) Looks superb. Which tyres did you go for in the end? Nick Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
emu 0 Posted April 30, 2014 I wouldn't be bother about clearance at all. As long your wheel are not touching caliper you will be fine. Wheels looks great. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Bowen 1 Posted April 30, 2014 Not a big fan really, not worth the hassle and extra money. I still think speedlines are fine, about the only thing i've never changed on mine. Cheaper tyres too! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted April 30, 2014 Think they look awesome, Mic! CH's are one of my favourite aftermarket alloys for the Corrado, no doubt about it :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim Bowen 1 Posted April 30, 2014 Could sell them as well :lol: Cash back! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mic_VR 3 Posted April 30, 2014 Doubt his brakes would fit under speedlines! Not a chance! :lol: Cheers for the feedback, I'm definitely warming to them. Think it's just such a change from the dark wheels that I'm just a bit unsure. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sean_Jaymo 0 Posted April 30, 2014 (edited) Twin! Obviously you have better brakes, suspension and exhaust and paint! Edited April 30, 2014 by Sean_Jaymo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fla 9 Posted April 30, 2014 I'm with Jim on that one - if i could afford them i'd love a set of CHs one day. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BILLCOR 1 Posted April 30, 2014 Break clearance is fine Mic and unless you've lowered it a bit, I don't understand why the fronts are rubbing :scratch: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mic_VR 3 Posted April 30, 2014 Twin! Obviously you have better brakes, suspension and exhaust and paint! Men of unequivocal taste clearly! :lol: There's about 1mm of clearance with the brakes which is a little close but they don't seem to catch... Just close. Bill, looks like they might just be rubbing slightly on lock as the tyres are a slightly different 215/40 rather than the 205/40 which were too stretched for me. These a&e just right. I'll put a pic up later. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BILLCOR 1 Posted April 30, 2014 Wow, there seems to be a fair bit of a stretch on those for being 215's, the 205's I had on the fronts of the last set were not as bad as those and there was no rubbing what so ever Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clumpy1 11 Posted April 30, 2014 They are close what size are these Mic Disc's? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mic_VR 3 Posted April 30, 2014 They are pretty stretched but they're definitely 215/40s so it must be the construction of those particular tyres. I'm ok with them, ideally I'd like a little less but 225's we're going to catch on the front. The discs are 304mm, and I could change them to 330's just with different carriers and rotors but I'm not sure ap sell the carriers separately. Might send them a mail. In comparison the Rotas had acres of clearance. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sexybourbon 0 Posted April 30, 2014 Looks mint mic , keep em , id probs swap my 16 speedys for ch's there perfect for the corrado Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
charlie34 0 Posted April 30, 2014 Looks good mate! They brighten the car. If the wheels clear now, they should be fine. Or is it an excuse to go bigger... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisL 18 Posted April 30, 2014 I really like. the CH's too, they just suit the corrado so well. Like Matt says, keep em. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
