I’m sure the VR6 knuckles only have one, the bearing pushes against the cast flange of the knuckle?

Ah, I've only worked on G60 and 16v, thought they were the same design just wider, every days a school day

just a single circlip 😦 no wonder there was so play

I have been back a few times, but really struggling with this not being able to go to next page malarky! 

 

easy solution is to just change the number in the page address.

glad you have made progress, watching on here and insta for updates

A sad day, taken to soon. 

I only met him once at a Corrado visit to Lotus then had a beer with him after

Welcome back

That is my dream garage, a Corrado next to a mk1 Capri (preferably a 3000GXL) is it yours?

gonna be watching this one, nice base car to start with and a engine that should make it alot of fun

Always good when you find the cause of a problem 🙂

Just for info, TT visors are bigger so the hole positions need to be moved but I did fit them

Even the light works when the visor is down 🙂

I do love those stripes 👍

Loving that Graham. Stripes suit is really well as Cressa mentions. Special car that with all the (complex) work you've put into it.

thanks, appreciate your comments 

Thought I'd add one of mine

I realise its a bit late, but this is mine, CD Tech speakers

If I were you, I'd just solder the wires from those tweeters to the terminals on either side of the connections then you can use the original wiring, any second hand tweeters you buy will be 30 odd years old so not great in quality

Very nice, finishes it off a treat

Good result, but aren’t you better off with -1 degree for a lowered car?

Yep, you are right, it was -1°, i missed the minus 🙂

The front camber on a Corrado should be -40′ except the VR6 which is -1° 20′

-1° is somewhere in the middle and probably within tolerance at most garages 🤷‍♂️ I'll find out for sure when I take it to be tracked

Cheers guys a lot of hard work paid off. It’s funny as many people say corrados never seem to win awards so there is now hope for all us owners lol
 

When I took my Golf R to a show, a tdi with an R kit got a prize and it was said that he had made an effort where as mine was just a golf R with some wheels and lowered

I build a car with a few subtle mods, take that to shows and get nothing, where as a rusty polo with a pen on the roof so people can write on it gets a trophy

I think there may be some truth in the Corrado's never win, you did well 

P.S. yes, I am a bitter old man 🙂
