  1. yep me to... even if the car is standing I would be dowsing it in WD40 and keeping it covered up or garaged ;)
  2. Why are they always in Scotland! LOL!
  3. Hmmm yeah that C4 looks pretty good!
  4. Had a search on here and the internet and the general consensus seems to be that Elring are as close to OEM as you'll get now? anyone tried their head gaskets?
  5. I could probably run to some under bonnet black.... but I cant see 5 tins of paint that I'm going to need, and the way this car is swallowing cash I'd really like to only order what I need...
  6. Looks like the contents on the radiator sat at the bottom of the cowl over the years it was stood and has rotted it away... anyone got one for a 93 VR6? - I've got the fans and motors etc. Unless anyone knows of an upgrade path to improve on the belt driven setup?
  7. Right wishbone bushes R32 Lemforders front/front and front/rear's, SNR wheel bearings and Pires Hubs 'check' Still stripping the running gear and gathering parts just wondering peoples thoughts on H&R springs on standard gas shocks? my car appears to have reasonably new Sachs Gas shocks on it. but I need to sort the altitude out so was thinking H&R -30's These look to be the same shocks at EuroCP's http://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/c/Volkswagen_Corrado_2.9_1993/p/car-parts/suspension/suspension-and-steering/shock-absorber/?635442150&1&7b7a991fc29529ca0db07f9ae8cf19b02c373101&000925 It wasn't good on my MK4 GTI... but the standard suspension was dire on those so I did put Koni's on it in the end. Did notice this on the H&R site... "H&R Sport Springs are the ideal solution for the enthusiast who appreciates race-bred components designed for street use. They are suitable for use with your original dampers or will work with aftermarket sport dampers." - just wondered if people have had experience with that setup?
  8. I was about to say it can't be a million miles from a MK2 Golf TFSI - I've pulled my first VR engine out and other that the obvious size difference its pretty much identical to the MK2 GTI's I used to do in my younger years ;)
  9. Heard that the Meyle items are made in china.... to pretty bad tolerances.... :(
  10. Anyone know anywhere else to get this stuff? I'm a bit miffed about paying £23 for a small tin of paint!
  11. Hi Hasan - pretty sure the pump will go straight on, not sure if the pressure is identical, I was just looking into pumps and racks for my car...
  12. whip the inlet and cam cover off... undo the cam bearings.. be careful with cam location (model dependent).. drop a new set in along with a few new gaskets.. magnetic screwdriver or extension makes it easier.... voila!
  13. Gessss - really small tin 348ml and £6 delivery! Talk about getting your pants pulled down! :(
  14. Gessss probably have a 70's Luke Skywalker... but I think I chewed his light saber.. and maybe R2D2 somewhere... I've still got my Tamiya RC cars thou! - can't wait for my boys to be old enough for them. ;)
  15. When you say 'big oval' is it bigger than the stock one?
  16. Looks like great work... but no one seems to have his details... the last post says its in the paid members section which a bit of a shag...
  17. Does anyone know if you can get this in the UK? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Alumi-Blast-SEY-16-055-Brand-New-/122077166663?hash=item1c6c5dbc47:g:WdkAAOSwtnpXqLvd I can only find US vendors and it would work out £60 a tin....
  18. HOLY THREAD RESURRECTION! Sorry for dragging up an old one.... Are these still the people to speak to regarding head porting and big valves? http://www.grantmotorsport.com/
  19. Pictures would be good... interested.. what tail pipe does it have etc? resonated?
