Hofmiester 10 Posted February 3, 2013 Yeah, I wasn't expecting to see that cheeky little number in there. Happy to find it though! Yes other chip is for sale, it is for a coil pack 2.9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hofmiester 10 Posted February 4, 2013 I called Stealth today as I thought I had full history for the car but this isnt in there so I wanted to check what was going on. They confirmed (very helpful) that my car has been at Stealth twice, once in 2011 (which I have recipts for) for timing chains, water/oil pump and clutch change. But also another time in 2006 (I have no recipt for) which was for the Miltek exhaust, vibratechnics mount and a rolling road re-map. Awesome news as I was wondering where/when the car gained the miltek and engine mounts. Also means the car has been properly set up for it's mods.

Hofmiester 10 Posted February 10, 2013 (edited) Today I striped out the door cards and removed the nasty chrome finish window tint. Still need to have another go at the glue as plenty let on :( Also fixed my non working passenger wing mirror. The control switch had green oxidisation all over the connectors. Before After Then I gave the door card and handles etc a bloody good clean and lined the parts that mate with the door in felt.

Hofmiester 10 Posted February 11, 2013 Early job for me this AM, the plastic trim around the heater controls on my car was covered in deep scratches on the top edge where someone had been very clumsy while fitting a radio. Got a mint one from eBay for £8 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hofmiester 10 Posted March 10, 2013 (edited) Finally got my engine bay tidier and ready for the North East meet next weekend. Haven had a chance to get my Samco hoses on though :( Also new set of genuine mats from the dealers, just to add a final touch as mine are looking a bit tired.

Sean_Jaymo 0 Posted March 10, 2013 I never knew you were able to even buy them let alone that they were available from a dealer! I thought the mats were a just-matz thing! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hofmiester 10 Posted May 5, 2013 Took a couple of snaps this morning before setting off for Stanford hall. Treated the paint to a clay bar, AG resin polish and AG extra gloss.

Hofmiester 10 Posted May 21, 2013 Time to finally sort out these appalling brakes. Set of 288s, new EBC pads, new disks and also Goodridge braided lines front/rear, also changing abs sensors while we're at it. Also having a service and Samco hoses put on at the same time......man, the Corrado gets treated better than my wife and kids ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hofmiester 10 Posted May 23, 2013 (edited) Picked my car up this morning having had the 288s fitted, Goodridge stainless braided hoses, service and very pleased to say a fresh MOT (no advisories!) Not sure if it is a 20yr old car thing but the pedal still travels a fair bit further than my mk7 golf before it starts to brake, however when it does brake, it bites hard which is much better. Got my Samcos in! Whoooooops.....so much for OEM+ ;) Edited August 17, 2013 by Hofmiester Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
emu 0 Posted May 23, 2013 You were the one who won charger on ebay ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hofmiester 10 Posted May 23, 2013 (edited) HAHA, yeah and I probably paid too much for it thanks to you! It had a lot of bidders on that one. Steadily sourcing the rest of the Kit, Mattpc on here has been a big help. Also James at 4 Seasons tuning has been awesome in providing me with the instructions. Will likely do it in the next 2-3 months depending on how quickly i can pull all the bits together. Edited May 23, 2013 by Hofmiester Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
emu 0 Posted May 23, 2013 HAHA, yeah and I probably paid too much for it thanks to you! Wasn't me, was about to bit but it was more than I was prepared to spend on it. Hope it's in a good nick and will give good results for the motor. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
