Swompy 0 Posted December 23, 2011 no they are tinted head light protectors. Going to lamin-x them soon tho as I have a eyebrow spoiler to go on, but wont fit with the protectors in place Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Swompy 0 Posted January 7, 2012 Went up to DG today to get the rev counter working. Needed a little conversion box to convert the signal from the new ECU to the old electrics. took a while to ge it in but all working now. Also Graham made up a de-cat for me which gives the car a nice throaty sound and I can hear the VR6 burble I've missed. When he took it out I could hear him half way up the road :D When Graham test drove the car the rev limiter was cutting in early (5000 rpm) so after a quick scan found some fault codes :( Going to drop it off some point next week to look into it. 2 steps forward 1 step back it seams Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm needing to get this done also, do you have the part # and what sort of price was it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Swompy 0 Posted January 8, 2012 Graham had to order it from the states. Was about £65 I think. Give him a ring, he will be able to tell you a lot more about it than me Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Swompy 0 Posted January 25, 2012 (edited) A year ago yesterday I went and got my corrado VR6 from Abdul. and have been driving 5 years this week. 3 of thos years have been filled with the joys (and pain) of corrado ownership. All my friends from school are having kids, I have my corrado. You can kick a corrado when it miss behaves!!! :D Edited January 25, 2012 by Swompy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
