  1. Take the roof lining out by removing the plastic trims. Then see if you have access to all the bolts to take it out as a complete unit. You can also manually wind them, so get access to the motor by removing the switch/ light panel
  2. About bloomin time ðŸĪĢðŸĪĢ She looks great, Stereo wiring is an easy one as normally it is a permanent and switched live that need swapping.ðŸĪ”
  3. And this is how they look fitted
  4. It's time to have some space back. I no longer have need for this set of wheels that came with the car..... as that makes 3 sets!! I am happy with my Speedlines and BBS so the OZ need to go. During my rebuild I had them refurbished, even down to the OZ raised decal and centre caps. All are fine and hold air, only selling as I was putting the car back to an Original look. I replaced two tyres and have only done around 600miles on them. The other two are older and beginning to crack, but did pass the MOT. If you want a period set of quality aftermarket alloys then these won't disappoint. 16s do look good on a Corrado. Will fit other VAG ET35 7 1/2K x 16 H2 205 x 45 x 16 tyres Offering up for sale here first b4 asking my GF to put them on the dark side (FB) and other sites for more 👊 I am at j31 Aston and probably missed some info, so just ask 😇 ÂĢ250
  5. Google says I am just under 2hrs away, nearly 100 miles, so very possible. I will consider the cams when the engine comes out to have its tensioner done. After spending sooo much in getting her back on the road i just wanted to get some pleasure back from her. Before taking her off the road again... plus she bloody owes me ÂĢÂĢÂĢÂĢÂĢÂĢ ðŸĪĢ Although when I bought the Schrick 2 years ago that was another moment of madness..... glad I did now
  6. I think there is some voodoo witchcraft involved in this stuff. How the hell it works when you wipe it on then buff it off, but it does. I did the paint on my Car and the water beading is amazing. I cleaned the car the other day and the brake dust doesnt seem to be allowed to stick to the wheels. Any alloys I get now gets the treatment, it just makes my life easier 👍
  7. Have you coated the alloys with any wheel wax ready for fitting. I use the Gtechnic product and they are good
  8. I absolutely love the Sebrings, perhaps because of the Rallye. Post a pic when you have them on please
  9. 🙃 no worries. She is finished in that sense
  10. ðŸĪĢðŸĪĢ I hope it isnt finished ðŸĪž as it definitely shifts .. but I take your point about something else holding her back 👍
  11. That is good numbers with the cams 💊
  12. Well I wondered is it low due to being old..... or is it just what their rollers measure at. If you think a Stealth remap would help improve it and the power that dips after 4k being smoothed out, then perhaps I should give him a ring. In fairness i haven't wanted big power, just something to stop her being lazy unless revved Worth a phone call I'm sure
  13. The big question now is.... Who will you want to win at the Euros.. Germany or England, Hmmmm 😂 ðŸī󠁧ó Ēó Ĩó Ū󠁧ó ŋ
  14. How can such an item that makes such a difference not have been fitted as standard That low rpm actually stops me getting up to the big revs for the power. It's nice to see that on paper it does make a difference 😊
  15. Previous. Apologies for the quality
  16. Had the power run today, to see if fitting the Schrick had made a difference. Was it really all in my head that it feels smoother and quicker. The power line up to 4k revs is very noticeable. I intend overlaying the before and after so that it is easier to see the difference. Not bad for an old girl at 123k miles even if it looks down on power. Certainly doesnt feel that way
  17. I think I may have to save up for a Stealth tune and chip. Sounds the way to go and he could give it a quick health check. Do you know how much something like that is ?
  18. Ha you have the cams and remap too I believe
  19. Front one is a VT fast road and seems to do a good job of holding it better, other 2 are standard.
  20. Never been mapped. Booked in for Thursday, so I will post up then
  21. 😊ðŸĪĢðŸĪĢ I had a mk3, thsi is definitely better
  22. Happy Schrick Corrado day. 😁😁 Finally got to take the car out and see how the Schrick is...And it does not disappoint. I have read lots of peoples reviews on their cars with a Schrick fitted which I totally agree with. Yes the standard Vr6 is a great engine, especially when it hits 4k. But this power delivery low down is so smooth and effortless. I struggled to get the car to higher revs as it isnt needed. I was happy with the engine before but this is something else. Quality. Just to make sure that I am not making this up, i have booked in another power run so that i can compare a before and after Doesn't seem much point in doing things if you aren't sure that they work correctly. Having just changed the engine mounts has stopped the throw that I could feel before, or is it just that i am not needing to rev so high between gear changes. Which ever it certainly feels better inside the cabin. Also, thanks to finding the split CV boot and fitting the new ARB drop link, I have No Knocking noise. None..... In the year that she has been back on the road I had to put up with this occasionally bang. Now there is silence, I love it.
  23. So 95% finished and I have fitted it. I think it looks quite original and even though close to the wiper stalk, it doesn't interfere with my fat fingers. So what do others think...... The downside is that my big Bodum drinks mug doesn't blooming well fit, ðŸ˜ģðŸĪŠ perhaps I should have tried that first!! so I am going to take the unit out. If anyone likes it, has a thinner drinks mug and wants it, it owes me ÂĢ15 + postage to you.
