Wowser! Corrados at a show! now there's a rare sight! It's usually one in the car park for me! ;)
-
Yeah looks really good - tempted to get mine done.
-
Are they new injectors? I had inconsistent injector performance on one of my 8V GTI's with the same KE injection and it was the injectors... replaced them and all was good. Try swapping the feeds and see if it follows?
-
Looks similar to my garage floor! :D - nice work! Eibach anti roll bar?
-
MAF stork connector? Hmmm actually... that might be black...
-
Cool! I was thinking about one of the Frost's type kits... but was wondering if it was cheaper just to get the bits I need doing done by a company...
-
Looks good... Where did you get the zinc and yellow work done? - I've struggled to find somewhere that would do old car parts
-
Seems to work well! Good find ;)
-
I just hope people don't actually buy this stuff! Those sales brochures are £5 - £15 at most classic car shows I've visited...
-
Both the 2.8 and 2.9 would need head work and/or cams to see 200+ bhp, I wouldn't think filter, exhaust type mods would do the trick... but you could fall lucky on a generous set of rollers. Whilst the 2.8 is out have it bored to 2.9?

Fantastic! - and Happy Birthday!
-
So the 10.5:1 compression ratio is a myth? Myth-busted I guess.... Wonder what gains high comp pistons would make?
-
Just been on the phone to the dealer... 021 103 383 N - is obsolete. Anyone got one or know of a dealer that still sells them? - everything seems to be listed as the USA...
-
Gessss FB wont even let me look at those pages anymore.... :(
-
Cheers Dox, wanted to avoid FB if I could.. :( Not got a set in your garage have you? LOL :D
-
Just wondered if anyone had a set they didnt want? I have the 288mm calipers and carriers but I'm pretty sure to get to 312mm its just a different carrier... the calipers are the same. Just thought I'd ask before I buy discs ;)
-
Anyone bought Meyle engine mounts? I want to put the rear engine and gearbox mount as a standard one... are these as close to OEM as you can get now? ** as far as I can see Meyle have all their parts made in China and just shipped to Germany....
-
Cheers spen ;) Its a lot further than I expected to go - but I thought "in for a penny! - in for a £" may as well do it right and then enjoy it. ;)
-
Meyle engine mounts? Anyone used them? - seem to be about all I can find without an obscure brand name... ABS/Wheel speed sensors? Go for the £50+ (£130 each for rear) Bosch items or is Delphi / Pagid (considerably less) good enough?
-
Morning Chris Cheers mate ;) Yeah its starting to come together a little now, before it was an oily mess everywhere but now bits are ether new or restored... hopefully I can spend a bit of time getting the engine bay ready this weekend - still cant decide if its just a clean up or a re-paint.
-
Cheers Hasan ;) Thanks for your email reply too, greatly appreciate the pointers on the conversion. Still cant fathom out the pedal box...
-
Yeah I masked off the rubber boots and the face of the trackrod that hits the locking nut and painted with a couple of coats of Eastwood Chassis black - I dont like the fact that they come in bare steel, like you say they only have to be on a short while and the rust is on it. Not sure on the F40 details... its up at my mates place... he's done a lot of work on it... what he calls "Germanizing it" as a lot of the factory stuff is just a lashy afterthought..
-
The F40 engine belongs to this.. Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk
