KipVR 1 Posted August 19, 2009 Cheers for the link mate, just seen it on South today too! Put in new handbrake cables today, along with millions of various clips. I also got a whole load of engine bay harness clips from a Mk3 to replace the cable tie sort the corrado comes with, there just a bit neater, less fidly, and more substancial. Also going to put my shift light LED's into my console tonight..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KipVR 1 Posted August 24, 2009 A friend of mine ran a full braided system on his brakes, and he said it made the pedal spongey. I suppose you will have to suck it and see :) Yeah that was my view on it! If it is too spongey, I'll probably just do the ABS unit to compensator in hardline, no big deal. I have driven a track car that was fully braided and that was fine but it was a smaller bore. Got a s/hand Jetex exhaust today. (cheers Trev!) SNV34681.JPG[/attachment:sygm5e28] I changed because I don't want an oval tailpipe, I'm after a straight cut one having seen James (CorradoVR6 Turbo) one which looks more OE in my view, but couldn't be arsed with making up a full system like he has so i 'm selling my Magnex and have bought a Jetex which I can then chop the tailpipe off. I can't chop the Magnex one off without hassle as the tailpipe is welded to the back box. Magnex going into the for sale section..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CorradoVR6-Turbo 0 Posted August 24, 2009 hmm that jetex system will work well witha straight pipe 8) ,i would have dont the same as you but they dont do 3" systems :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coullstar 0 Posted August 24, 2009 Good thinking. I like the plain slash cut style as well. I think the original tailpipe is the best. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KipVR 1 Posted August 28, 2009 Fitted Stu's (Mr.Beige on here) shift light kit, overall impression was that it was a very nice bit of kit, cheers Stu! Personally I wasn't bothered about having all four lights so I decided to fit just the two, which made fitting it easier, as you could use the existing LED mounts. So I set about fitting it. Chuffed with the results. I like this kit because you wouldn't know it was there unless you look for it- which is my kind of mod. But really handy for track days and sprints :norty: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KipVR 1 Posted September 1, 2009 Anymore updates? You did have a whole bank holiday weekend to get it finished! :lol: Nope sorry bud, haven't seen the car for a while! It's sat outside in the rain at the moment. Just waiting for another car to finish with the 2 poster, then it's finish loom time and engine back in for good! I've finally got round to getting some proper foam for the seats though, so i'll be doing that soon.....

VAG-hag 0 Posted September 5, 2009 I keep having to have a peek at the brakes through the wheels, bit sad that! YEP!!! :lol: but worry not mate im a full on brake perve too!!

pete_griff 0 Posted September 5, 2009 well, les hope you can see which way my family four door went when you get to the twisty bits eh Kip?! :wink: oh and i don't remember you moanng too much when you drove it! guess it was the cosy family interior and boring drive that settled your nerves! and yes - more boost is now imminent - courtesy of Mr Haywire :thumb right: it has to be said the more i drive it the more i love it. i hate the way it looks on the outside but all that melts away a soon as you get in and travel 10 yards. i got it quite nicely out of shape on a couple of empty roundabouts on the way down to salisbury today - awesome! the ease with which you can cover ground is staggering - on single track roads (private ones naturally) that i would normally comfortably do 65-70 when not in a hurry, i find myself doing nearer 100 and really not noticing it until i glance at the speedo! anyway - you're slacking and haven't worked on your car in a while now - sort it out! :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
