KIPVW

mine went up £10 but then i am old :)

Wow how did it manage to do that???? Crikey :(

Aye me too 1.8 16v Sheffield also lol!

No great rush but next week i wanna take the cross member off and get it painted up while it's all off, daft not to i guess! will defo be adding pics in this till it's finished. Or should that mean put back together as it'll never be finished lol!

The paint is good but will be going back once all bit's in place for a good buffing over.

I am completely happy yeah i cant begin to tell people how much, i'm so attached to this damn lump of metal it's painfull :/

But it goes around corners so much better

 

Good to see if finally home Kip, good luck finding some new under bonnet foam :(

Indeed it does Yan, my 8v is phenominal on roundabouts even with standard ride height, the VR is pathetic in comparison and although 2 of my cars are cosseted beyond reality i'd like to think i drive them as they should be driven. (pondering the Nurburgring as we speak :) )

Need to go back again someday!

Yeah the foam Grrrr! flippin stuff!

There is a slim chance I won't be going in the VR as I'm still having the same problem I had at the National Day despite changing the crank sensor. From what I can gather when the car has been standing in warm weather for a few hours it refuses to start. After changing the crank sensor this afternoon it fired up no probs but after sitting in the sun it now refuses to start.

 

I will let you know if I have to give up my slot on the stand.

 

Not happy now.

Sounds like the problem i had with my 8v mate, i had an auto trician out and he re-soldered a few bits on the relay which runs the ECU and it has been faultless since.....

The relay is one above the fuse box but I cant remember which one (top right side as you look at it????)

Hope you sort it!

yours spend most of their time out of sunlight in the garage :)

lol! sure they do :)

I know what you mean David but to me a set of tyres every 5 or 6 years aint too extravagant! :)

Yeah not too bad only ever use genuine vw rear bearings though! they cost a bit more but last 10 times longer than cheapo's :)

Still surprises me that tyre age isn't even an MOT advisory!

Agree mate i know i'm in the same boat as Chris when it comes to tyres ie they dont wear out due to the much lower miles we do, but i definately change them every 5 years due to age as i know i like to get a little enthusastic shall we say driving sometimes so i like to know the tyre isnt gonna give way.

£300 ish for 5 years use! It's a no brainer.

Chris i'll talk to you Sunday and give your hands a slap! :)

Thanks Steve :) think i'm gonna take it nice and slow though and tidy up a bit as i go along too :)

Hi Stan,

Just checked the members list and he isn't listed so if Dave is ok to join up then that'd be much appreciated.

Hi Stan, yes we have a spare spot.

As there's no chance f getting a pass to you now i'd turn up around 9 and tell the staff on the gate it wasn't sent out in time, i'm sure it wont be a problem.

Ps If your friend is not already a CCGB member I hope you dont mind me asking but I'd like him to join on the day!

Any problem on Sunday give me a call.

Be nice to see this car as i've read a bit about it too :)

Lol! Yeah You guys are funny! :) it's all smiles here though :)

Looking forward to seeing this at the Classic Car Show at NEC?

Steady!!!!! :)

Passes arrived for my R32 from show organisers, it’s says use the trade entrance so you then miss the Tatton Park gate charge! So presume its the same for Corrado's with/without passes! What time are we gathering? :)

You still have to pay mate they'll have folk collecting on the gate for all club stands/traders etc.

Yeah that did cross my mind to type that too Chris, think our first one was £600 lol! he said of course sir :)

Hi Steve, it does but i think it best to actually go along to a local branch and see them face to face, mine are no problem and often order stuff for a few hundred quid without advance payment.

I have heard some dont like dealing with general public though.

Tootles off to check

Mwah! :) Happy days but i think i need a new battery as screen is mega faded.

Thanks Jon ;)

As some may know my Nugget has been poorly for some time but is back home as today :)

However my LCD/MFA screen has gone blank, it went before i took it into the body shop so not related there, the screen illuminated ok but there is no readout on anything.

Can anyone help please.

Thanks in advance

Kip

Think a crate of stella is in order for that chap!

Good Man! Obviously a bit like my good self with a bicycle :)

Smashing :) will post up meet times when i get me head together lol!

Yes Mate :) All club stand folk still have to pay the entry fee! which is payable on arrival.

Ah thats a Bummmer Karl! :(

Tom, i'm sure we can squeeze another on, so hope you have advance tickets already?????

Hi Dave, off topic but dontknow if you got my pm,

There are 2 drop outs for Harewood Show and Mark said you were interested. Can you confirm for both of you please.

Thanks Matey.

Kip :)
