rsgntx 0 Posted August 7, 2010 OK after speaking with the strut dealer it would appear i may have an issue with SPAX. They want me to buy the replacement for the offside rear which has gone soft. If they deem it to be a manufacturers issue they will reimburse me! However they could decide not to! So today I decided to take a look at it and found the issue to be corrosion on the rod! So what’s the opinion on what SPAX will say? The strut has not been on the car a year yet!! Do I put the SPAX back on and pay the money or put the money into a different set?

Leonard 0 Posted August 7, 2010 If you can cope with not using it for a week I would send them the strut and see what they say. I wouldn't buy a new one yet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

8vMatt 1 Posted August 8, 2010 Bad news on the shock. As its not been on the car a year yet, then it would be under guarantee surely? I would really push for a refund and put it towards something better. Lovely progress you're making mate, cracking car. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
poll250 0 Posted August 12, 2010 Hi mate, Good work on the car, it looks stunning. I just wondered how quick you are going through water/meth at the moment? Have you got any photos of the kit installed? Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have you got any photos of the kit installed? Thanks Sorry for delay but in the States till next week. Not using it that quickly been watching it weekly and never topped up more than half a litre yet but I am not a high mileage driver. Will take some picks when I am back and post them for you.

rsgntx 0 Posted August 15, 2010 cheers Chris! you guys may be able to help me! my lad is going to uni in the states for a year and asked if he could have a car. we came across this! the body on this car is in great condition solid no rust to talk of at all! the trim inside is pretty beat up though facia split from heat! the engine was swapped out for a 1.9 diesel out of a VW passat. it has a pair of recaro that need re-trimming too, look like an old pair out of a golf. it has A/C which was only available in the US. its a 1981. its this or a Ford focus either way i lose money. Would be a great project back home! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks I am glad you like it! :D tints are clip overs bought them off the forum and use them for long motorway runs! I like the Caddy too but it has a number of issues for the price so i am in final negotiations on the Corrado! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
