Ha! Yes you did, I was in Chiswick. I’m on my third Corrado now. Do you still need those lights 😉 I hope you’re well. 

Sorry Chiswick, my bad memory! Haha yup I'll pop over and get them, if they're at the same price 😉

Post up some pics of your car whenever you have time

Hi Stefan, i bought some foglights from you....about 15 years ago. I think you were near to Hammersmith at the time. 

Good to see you back here!

Hasan

Thanks both.

Yes I'll pull the relay and give it a clean, as well as trying the circuit with a bulb

ok, not working again.  New horns, relay 53 is fine (clicks ok) just a weak noise from the horns.  How does the horn wiring run go from the horns to the fuse panel?  I've touched the horn spades directly to but its the same. I'm only assuming that there must be some kind of partial break in the wiring somewhere

thanks a lot Matt

Great, many thanks. Should i mention that he did yours and therefore came from a referral?

where abouts are you based, you're London based? The guy i used was from Watford and travelled up to me east of Royston / North Herts. 

Matt, would you mind advising this chap in Watford please?  I'm in Northwood so not too far from him. 

Thanks

Cheers he's got nowt in stock 😞

No blackberry VR, still got the black schirck/supercharged VR (https://the-corrado.net/topic/84662-new-project-vr6-supercharged/page/3/#comments) which I am contemplating breaking tbh

This looks stunning, do you really want to break it?  Btw, what supercharger do you have on it as i'm thinking of the same myself. What a supercharged VR like to live with (i know some make an annoying whining noise....)?  Mine has aircon, so just wondering if that would be an issue for an intercooler.

That's useful. I was planning on returning it, but I'll have a rethink now

on their site they said for both the golf and corrado.  Yes it fouls the strut tower very slightly too, but i think i can get around that with the silicone joiners.

You're probably right i'll need to get it cut and flared by a machine shop, so i'll have to take some accurate measurements

Bought an alloy air inlet elbow to replace the corrugated flexible one which invariably leaks. 

Problem is, it seems to be too long to allow the BMC to fit.

This is from Bar-tek. Has anyone else had the same issue and if so how did you sort it? I'm assuming I'll need to cut some of the end off? Don't want to cut either too much or too little, so again any info here would be great 

What is the best solution to seal the extra port (for the old isv)? Mine is obd2 so dont need it

Thanks 

Hasan

Wow James, this is just amazing. Congrats on the completion and hope you really get to enjoy it.

Would love to see this immaculate unicorn sometime

To move through the pages I have to hold my finger on the next page button an it opens the next page in a different window but closes the one I’m on (if that makes sense?)

Ah, good idea. For me it was pot luck if it changed page or not. Most of the time i was only able to read just the opened page

Just another question - was there any way to retrieve all those pics and information accumulated over the years? I know its not an easy task 

Mic, still looks awesome 👌 

Great idea! I'm still here although started a thread on FB (not too great on using it tbh!) just to see who from here was there and to a degree to relate to some of our good ol' names!

Looks like a good price for the rainsports.  They seem to be a few dB noisier than the Vreds though..

thanks James.  I fitted some Toyos to my Yaris and fortunately had quite a good experience with them, but you cant really compare the two cars!  Would there be much of a difference fitting 195 45 16s instead of 205mm width tyres?  Only asking as they're a good bit cheaper but i dont want them looking too skinny on the car, or giving a hard ride.

Btw wheels et35, 7J

Well I'm still looking at 16 inch tyres! The 215 40 16 seem more readily available than 205 45 16. Anyone run them and any discernible differences? Looking at the vreds again or toyo tr-1. But any other good recommendations are appreciated

Wonderful pics. Great to see the stages of restoration

Great guide. Thanks for taking the time to do.this.

Mine has aircon so is slightly more involved, especially as the wiring was crossed over and a real mishmash!

Excellent stuff. Thanks for all the development work, i know its not easy. Could i take a set please? Thanks. Hasan

shame about revell, you would imagine they would have a better focus on quality

Hot Wheels sounds interesting though, but like you say, might be a challenge!

Almost 10 years later...... and a slight aside, does anyone know the closest faux suede match for the cream roof lining? Ive seen a few interesting looking fabrics with either 4 way stretch or with the foam lining. My plans are either:

- Headlining in foam backed fabric, trims in faux suede

- headlining and trims all in faux suede

- headlining and trims all in foam backed fabric

I saw someone had his parcel shelf supports done in fabric which really dis look good, hence considering option 3. But i don't know which would be easiest to work with given the curves etc on some of the trims
