Not much point without a X-Flow head IMHO! The hot exhaust manifold seems to cause lots of running probs with fuel vapourisation!

Too many escape hatches...... Check the rear arches as they will rot faster than a Lancia Delta!!! -
The cheapest a Dealer could buy one from VW UK for was £17900, around 25% off list, But this was for a base spec stock car which ultimately never existed and was merely a teaser; most were prepped with Nav, Leather and bucket seats which meant that Dealers paid about £20000-£22000 for an average car. The good news is that they sold so fast everyone wanted them again as soon as they were gone. So an 08 plate car went from a value of £16k in January 09 to a current value of around £20k now :clap: Yeah My mate's GF bought a DSG R32 on Disability (Converted to hand controls) when they were stupid cheap...think he paid £18K or so for it, just done a straight swap with an '08 Scirrocco TSi DSG!!!! Bit of a bargain really!!!! Oh Yeah and back OT In Teesside/Darlo area we have unmarked Focus ST's and Octy vRS's plus the odd Beemer 5 series Touring! North Yorkshire police have unmarked WRX imprezza's and Evo's for the sole use of hunting motorbikes :lol:

I think Karman got it spot on with the C really, I love the swoopy lines, the way the lines flows from the front wing, across the door, up the rear quarter and ending at the spoiler :grin: I have spent lots on mine getting it up to the look I wanted which is a classic looking car with moder mechanicals, I think the 1.8T motor suits the car really well, but apart from that and a debadged grill (Which I quite like) and the Storm badges (for 5hits and grins really) it's has intended but for the sake of some awesome hoops, which I think really make the car!!! Corrado's will do as MK2 Golfs have done in the past few years, the prices will start to rise as the rubbish ones get broken or fall into the hands of chavs and are destroyed, thus bringing the price of good ones up! All the mods I've done to mine are reversible, but as nugget is a proper marmite colour I don't think I'd ever put it back to standard!!! At the end of the day I've built it for me, if others like it thats great, but I really couldn't care if you don't either -
Positive wire onto the positive terminal on your starter motor and the negative onto the chassis somewhere!

Well in the words of professer Farnsworth... It turns out my litte excusion into a rather large puddle had resulted in an Intercooler and boost pipes filled with water..hence the constant hydraulicing!!! Emptied the water...changed the filter and the mayoanaise that used to be oil for fresh stuff and she has good as gold......No Damage :clap: :grin: Proof indded God does drive a Rado :lol: -
