Just trying pictures directly from Google again... Can anyone advise why this doesn't work? https://goo.gl/photos/qzxvakp1VXKPxR1V7

Thats crazy! throw it in the bin!

Just had exactly the same issue - Snap-on bolt removers, clout it on with a hammer, it undoes like a normal bolt.

Thanks again George - really nice to meet you this evening and thank you very much for the manifold, it's will be very well looked after I can assure you and at anytime it's surplus to requirement I will be sure to let you know first. ;) You're Storm is absolutely stunning! - hopefully see you at a show when mine is up and running.

Is that another vote to stay white Dox? LOL! :D

Colour from this car....

LOL! indeed Peter4265 has some absolute BARGAINS in his shop! :D

Thanks Dox... the path of the car has changed hence the Schrick... I'm going to be building the engine up at my mates place in Silverstone - he's a Porsche specialist but has a wealth of experience in just about everything automotive... he's currently got the cylinder head which will be port/polished/matched/big-valved/cam'd and the block is going up tomorrow and will probably end up at 3ltrs and fully balanced and lightened... along with the manifold it should be fun.... Being a Porsche man he also wants go do this.... GT3 RS Grey... I'm sort of coming round to the idea... but always been a firm believer that a car should stay the colour it left the factory.... hmmmm decisions

Cheers fellas ;)

Will be brand new.... like pretty much everything else :(

Modify? clout with panel hammer? LOL!

Hmmmm even on a late Corrado?

To be able to get to your £1500 gearbox you're going to need the £230 + £19.90 delivery BONNET RELEASE CABLE! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/162595941583?ul_noapp=true :D LOL!

LOL! :D My car is currently in a thousand bits in the garage... I'm just painting the sump ;)

Cheers Dox, you're a champ! No problems with stalling etc? - I'm hopefully getting the whole lot balanced and lightened - Crank -> flywheel -> Clutch...

Hi Dox - just a quick question... do you know roughly how much weight comes off the flywheel?

Theres one on fleabay Anna.... but ouch! £150.... its brand new thou... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-Corrado-2-9-VR6-New-Genuine-Radiator-Fan-Assembly-/162595112096?fits=Model%3ACorrado&hash=item25db6c84a0:g:GRcAAOSw1P9ZbRT4

Dropped you a couple of PM's let me know what you think.

PM'd

Hi Hasan No worries... did have a read about the Schimmel short run... their site claims +20WHP, but reading some reviews its at the cost of low end torque... the Schrick item seems to be the best all-rounder still... I've got a mate who has a Porsche tuning business and he looked at the stock manifold over the weekend as he's giving me a bit of a hand... his exact words were "that's an absolute monstrosity! - you can't put that back on the car!" lol :(

Hi Joe Ah yes you're not that far away... do you have pictures of how the manifold looks now?

Bargain time again! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/142403810992?ul_noapp=true £1500 for a gearbox anyone? Or you could get your own one refreshed for £150.... decisions

Yeah did have a quick look on there... there usually is one kicking about but nothing at the moment...

LOL! Indeed, they seem to be pretty expensive... You can buy the Schimmel short run manifold reasonably cheaply but it's apparently better suited to turbo cars although there is a small gain on NA motors..

Just putting the feelers out - anyone got one they don't intend using?
