Abdul 0 Posted February 22, 2012 (edited) Looking good mate. Spoiler looks sweet. I can't help but think that you need some bigger/wider wheels to finish it off though? Edited February 22, 2012 by Abdul Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dragon green 5 Posted March 15, 2012 Did a round trip of 396 miles today ! (still got half a tank) you gotta love the diesel boxes. Took the car back to TSR where I had the engine transplant done a few years back.Had a few running problems since the accident ! Turned out the ECU had reset itself back to "safe"mode . Both maps installed,225 &270bhp, well happy again. Just the traction control to sort,and I will be back were I was before the accident ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sherief 10 Posted March 17, 2012 Just been reading through your "re-build and "re-spray" posts. Your car looks really well now and the subtle body mods whilst in the shop, make a cool car look even cooler. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for the kind words, I was trying to make it smoother,mainly so it was easier to wash ! lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dragon green 5 Posted March 18, 2012 A quick wash Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dragon green 5 Posted March 21, 2012 I feel like the cars testing me ! Took it in to have a front wheel bearing done this morning. On the way in, went to undo the drivers window,one of the cables snapped ! Left a note with my mechanic if he could have a look, picked it up on the way home from work,bearing done,and a new window regulator/motor fitted (VAG) £225 !! I think I've finally defeated the electrical gremlins that were plaguing me since the respray. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dragon green 5 Posted March 21, 2012 (edited) I have a Mk3 golf diesel box, code CTN it's an O2a,so a straight fit. I also have a wavetrac fitted. 70mph reads about 2400rpm, there's a thread on here "best gear ratios for a G60" thats where I did all my research, Dannyboy on here has an even higher ratio one fitted then mine ! Top gear is really good for the mpg on motorways have a read of this/ http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?p=748664 Edited March 21, 2012 by dragon green Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dragon green 5 Posted April 12, 2012 Fitted Dave's short shifter kit today,well impressed,only used half a blade in the dremel ! It does really make a difference,everyone should have one ! My exhaust has started to rattle,it turns out,the baffle has come loose in the centre box ! F**IN Magnex,lifetime guarantee,no wonder they went bankrupt ! Still not sorted the Racelogic,Vince has looked at it,tested it,just need to book it in ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dragon green 5 Posted April 22, 2012 This arrived Saturday morning, Backlit gauges from Spoonfed,checkout the rev counter ! 20vt ! Backlit in green,with white illuminated needles, Unlike the DDI backlits that you have to splice the wires into,I have taken the power from within ! Had a dry run on one of my spare instrument clusters,very pleased with how it's come out. Backlits and needles all work on the dimmer, You will have to take my word for it,as pics will be a few weeks coming ! lol Found my rattle on the exhaust,the cat has decided its had enough ! Cars in at Stealth on the 1st May for the racelogic to be sorted. Stay tuned in for more updates ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dragon green 5 Posted May 2, 2012 (edited) Up at Stealth yesterday, Vince has now sorted my Racelogic, one of the rear ABS sensors was giving a weak signal, but not weak enough to effect the ABS, A new sensor was the order of the day, Back to warp factor 7 !

dragon green 5 Posted May 2, 2012 Left Stealth Yesterday afternoon and made my way down the M5 to Bridgewater. A night in the Travel lodge, All bright eyed and bushy tailed for my next stage of the journey ! Five minutes later at TSR for a new cat and exhaust to be fitted. TIG welded the Cat From the down pipe looking back, Cat and small silencer can be seen The all important tail pipe,looks flush,but when warm,extends by about an inch ! Note how dirty my st/st tank straps are ! Round trip back to my house of 465 miles,and I still have over a quarter a tank of petrol ! My Magnex will be up for sale as soon as I've cleaned it !

VWVW 1 Posted May 2, 2012 Looks good...Iam still on my original VR exhaust. Ive got a second hand stainless steal exhaust and sports cat to put on but not had the chance yet. Iam just worried that the lambda end maybe difficult to disconnect from the old cat on mine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
