Alex_G60_Fanatic 0 Posted January 6, 2011 Less than a wife? Maybe not... LOL they're more like the bit on the side that you have to constantly keep keen with luxury apartments, priceless jewels and constant "servicing" while the wife works her life away at home... still fun thou! Nice C! What is she? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alex_G60_Fanatic 0 Posted January 6, 2011 you posted your porblems on here? most questions can be answered quite quickly on here. only a 1.8 (at the moment) Going for a G60 conversion or something else? is it a 8v or a 16v? come on spill the beans Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leese1984 0 Posted January 6, 2011 16v. i dont now much about corrados, had an impreza turbo befor, but came to the conclusion i hate jap crap. and my disco died of cancer so this is all im left with. what should i look out for on it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex_G60_Fanatic 0 Posted January 6, 2011 if you mean look out for things that may brake then EVERYTHING mate :lol: Germans can engineer like no one but their electrical skills are often lacking! But there are loads of little MODs and thing that you can get to improve the car dude, most of them covered in here. To start with there is the: moon roof mod Uprated headlight loom Windscreen whiper fix and for you a 280mm brake conversion from the OEM ones to the ones off the G60. But there are hundreds of things to look out for. Your best bet is to rummage round on the forum and see what you find! And Welcome to the fold!

leese1984 0 Posted January 6, 2011 how do you go about uprated headlight loom as the lights on it are shite. its had the sun roof done so no probs with that, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex_G60_Fanatic 0 Posted January 6, 2011 how do you go about uprated headlight loom as the lights on it are ****. They are very crap! Try using the search box in the top right.... you'll find most things that way. But to save you the bother... and because I'm such a nice chap and all.... viewtopic.php?f=25&t=74542 viewtopic.php?f=15&t=96950 Both those are for uprated looms but the first ones are available now. However, the second link provides you with the OEM connectors that go with the loom. Up to you who you go with Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leese1984 0 Posted January 6, 2011 thanks for that mate. i was considering using the light off my mobile at night it gives off about the same light Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex_G60_Fanatic 0 Posted January 6, 2011 thanks for that mate. i was considering using the light off my mobile at night it gives off about the same light lol... Think when KUR2Y (who makes the looms in the first thread) came to measure the his nice new bulbs aren't very bright he came up with something like a 2 volt drop between the battery and the bulbs... as i said the Germans can't do wiring.
