  3. he posted a thread about his wheels - leave his tyres alone you bullies
  4. Blue Corrado Queens Road Reading sitting on 5 spokes - (4 stud) You parked near my car fella - blue vr6 anyone here? anyone anyone?
  5. engines are the same as fas as I know except 1.8 - which is the KR fitted with mechanical fuel inj. I don't think the systems are that interchangable - with the 1.8. could be wrong though
  6. done my install fine always trusted them with my last 5 cars over ten years. http://www.johnkleis.co.uk/
  7. Becker are class the one to have you if you want to preserve some Teutonic goodness Alpine are my choice - fiscally mainly - but I still have a cassettte head unit in my VR. GO FOR THE BECKER!!! Clarion have a reputation for being bollix in my opinion - I wouldn't waste my money on them. Pioneer lost their way in the late 80's - after their foray into hi fi separates for cars!! IMHO - and I am quite entitled to my opinion before the Uber Corrado fans come out.
  8. ok ok so my eyes miss out certain words yada yada yada what's a "puch" then?
  9. mine deffo has it - and it's English

  11. it's to do with the tax laws in Germany/Europe And engine output - I don't think many marques had a high power - for their mid range (199bhp That is why the biggest 3 series was only 2.8 for ages. hth
  12. VW reckons it increases downforce by almost 30% at "high speed" don't know what speed just at "high speed" I have a quote in VW Car and Driver 1989 that says so - so it must be true! The TT recall was not simply the addition of a 'tache - it was also a thicker antiroll bar - and some other front and rear adjustments. This induced understeer rather that oversteer - but the reality was not an unstable car - just unstable drivers in Europe. hth btw - I think it looks silly also
  13. VW reckons it increases downforce by almost 30% at "high speed" don't know what speed just at "high speed"
  14. My VR6 Corrado's intermittent wiper sweeps seem to vary in th rain. Sometimes it's 15secs between wipes - other times it drops to almost 7 seconds. I can't say it varies with engine speed - that's to day, i've noticed it doesn't slowly speed up when I accelerate - so I don't think it's a power supply issue. So is this the sign of a cranky wiper setup I've got going on? - or is there somekind of "VW magic wiper pixie function" on these cars?
  15. where the 16v's ever offically sold in the UK?
  16. bass is omnidirectional tweeters on the other hand must be at ear level hth
