  1. Is it still accurate, or is it 10mph out?

     

    If still accurate, you may have pressed it too hard and it's just the friction of the needle and the paper stopping it.

     

    If 10mph out, get to the dials - pop off the needle, and replace it pointing at the bottom corner of the dial - if you sort of imagine it, its about 0mph. Make sure its firm, then bend it over the needle-stop.

     

    HTH.


  2. The rolling up of windows on the Corrado is done by the Corrado central locking - NOT the Clifford. The Clifford simply sends a live to the central locking unit.

     

    You may find your Clifford is not at fault, and, as per usual, its the VW.


  3. Had similar problem with mine - and the aerial had come loose from the alarm's brain - took 2 mins to fix.

    I hope this is the same for you and is a quick, cheap fix!

     

    Agreed, if you didn't get the alarm fitted yourself, they are annoying and might be costly, but I had it fitted, and the lifetime warranty means even if it does go wrong - which I'm sure it will - I don't mind :)

     

    And yes, the 300 is CAT1.


  4. Agreed.

    Stealth is always a good way to go.

    A couple of weeks ago my neighbour had ~£3k worth of ICE equipment stolen from his Celica GT4.

     

    We started again from scratch but concentrated on stealth and making it very hard to remove.

    I'd like to see them try now - the boot is almost fully enclosed, and they'd have a very hard time getting to the amps and/or subs - you'd have to see it to believe it ;)


  5. Nice one, D.

    With 305mm discs I presume 16s would be the minimum?

     

    And Jim, I think you'll find thats for the fronts only, unless you have 4 brake discs at the front of your car.. ;)

    £356 inc VAT for brand new 305mm disc front-system with 4-pot calipers?

    Sounds yum to me.


  6. Surely a 'fridge' system would be too slow and would have little or no effect on air rushing into the car.

    You would need an adapted aircon system - but then running aircon draws power so the gains you would see you would immediately lose from running the system in the first place.

    Unless you wanna just run it to keep things cool...

    Or are they just developing an 'intercooler'? Could've sworn I've seen them around somewhere before...

     

    I can't quite work out what this project is meant to achieve!


  7. You should also note that - in the picture you posted - the hose from the t/b to the carbon canister has been severed and not plugged.

     

    This will do drastic things to the running of you're car...

     

    Mike, that is a picture from my car - and it is plugged - you can clearly see the brass plug in the tubing.


  8. don't like drilled rotors personally, I don't believe they offer any performance benefit and they do introduce the possibility of hairline stress cracks around the drill sites, which under heavy braking (track use) can go kabooooooom

     

    Agreed. My last visit to VW, they commented on my ATE Powerdiscs (which are grooved) and they made comments about hairline fractures on drilled discs on Audi's... and the result. :shock:

    I'll stick with grooved, thanks! :D


  9. Spoke to Kevin:

     

    Full installs - nope - not really worth his while since companies that sell kits can normally install it cheaper.

     

    As for the regas, £75+VAT is the official price, but the Corrado-forum.net discount (*cough* ca$h *cough*) is £50.
