vr6storm 0 Posted May 25, 2003 The aerial is on, dont think I like it but id be surprised if it lasts a week about here so will be back to standard soon I imagine. How where ure oil temps on the way back? I took a wrong turn and ended up behind loads of traffic going through Lanark, then I ended up on the M8 and there were roadworks :bad-words: Now a question that Roddy might be able to answer, since u didnt ask Grim, what was with all the boxes of eggs in John Kerrs G60. :lol: ah.....youv'e found out about mr kerr's work then......he's a 2 corrado-owning chicken farmer Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
biggrim 0 Posted May 25, 2003 Was doing about 80-90mph the way home and was just under 130 on the temp guage. Could it be running higher because of the upgrades? Unlucky with the traffic mate, when did you guys leave anyway? Will we ever get to the bottom of the egg mystery? Just thinking about the dash that never was!!! Do you know if the early spec dash came in black or was it just the late spec one? Need to get me some alloys and a respray, some of the Corrados on show made me realise how much is needing done to mine. Money, Money, Money! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you know if the early spec dash came in black or was it just the late spec one? here is the dash from a 91 J-plate G-60......which as far as i know/am aware is classed as the earlier style dash.....hopefully thats answered your question then Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was only there for about another 20 minutes or so after you, spoke to Brian (dubster82) for a bit then left. The late spec dash would probably have been more hassle than it was worth as it didnt have the switches an stuff with it. How bad is the lime damage in your paintwork, I didnt get a proper look at it. If it aint too bad and theres no rust that will get worse (I cant remember seeing any) I think I would hold off on the paint and get wheels and exaust first.

biggrim 0 Posted May 26, 2003 The lime attack is quite bad, you can see the primer beneath it but I don't think it will get any worse. There are a couple of little bits that look like they might rust soon but I'm forever polishing it so they hopefully won't get any worse. The thing that annoys me is the fact that the car in general is in good condition for 11 years old and if it weren't for the lime attack, I could probably live with the rest of the niggles for now. Gonna get some more quotes for a respray and see how much it's gonna cost me. On the wheels and exhaust front, definately need to deal with that oversized tailpipe but the one I'm after (MAGNEX with small oval pipe) only seems to be available as a complete system. And wheels........ there are just too many to chose from. Going to return it to pretty standard looking by taking off that rear lower spoiler (when I get a smaller exhaust) and getting one of the 50mm chin spoilers for the front (like yours, late spec). Will keep you posted on the mods though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joe M 0 Posted May 26, 2003 Just a thought but if your not bothered about Magnex then Drivers make custom Powerflow exausts, they could make u up a backbox with any tailpipe you want. My cousin got a quote for a full system for his Alfa fitted for £280 which I thought was pretty good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joe M 0 Posted May 26, 2003 biggrim, how did ure pics turn out, I wouldnt mind seeing the one on the motorway if it worked. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
biggrim 0 Posted May 26, 2003 I'll put it on in the next couple of days along with some others. Just want to get this exam out of the way then I've got plenty of time to wash, polish and generally care for the C. Some of the pics are not bad, going to have to play with the one on the mway so you can see whats happening in it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
