First day back on the road this January after a one year rest

Gossip monger :lol: No denial then??? :lol:

Here are the vacuum tank, solenoid valve and control box that came with my Schrick.

Everyone's dream come true :lol: If I read his for sale post right, Leonard had parts made for his VSR at Stealth so they should be able to provide any special parts required. I've often wondered why people go to such lengths to source incredibly rare original parts for these as they fundamentaly the same as a Schrick VGI and should therefore work fine using Schrick parts which are widely available if a little slow on delivery judging by the actuator and gaskets I bought a few months ago. Mr Cheese beat me to it, damn slow Saudi internet connection :lol:

This thread suggests the prospect of a beige recaro interior coming onto the market soon :lol:

There's something about that part filled in section that I reckon looks wrong, much prefer RS4 reps if you're going for that look. Do the black ones look better because you can't see them so well?? Sorry mate, just my opinion after all.

Professional's will only use the tint film on a roll that you can buy but they're not called professional for nothing. I did some for myself years ago and ended up buying three rolls to get them to anything I wanted to be seen out with. I'd expect a scratch to show up more after they're done, one reason I've put off doing mine for so long, sounds like I've got the same scratch as you :)

As far as I know they're one piece, could be wrong there as I've never tried to take a subframe off one. I have a pair of grey leather fronts spare if you're interested in buying???

Good on ya. My youngest was 2 when we bought out first Corrado, she's almost 14 now and her big sister is 17, I don't think either of them remember anything but squeezing into the back seat of a C (much easier now we've finally got recaros in :lol: ). I can never quite understand why people say they have to get a bigger car now they're having kids, unless of course they're going for more than two!

You gotta say that looks almost big enough. Well done that man :lol:

Corrado VR6 Standard Answer Number 40795: All Corrado VR6s were built ObeeWan, only very few have actually been converted cos it's pig of a job. See http://the-corrado.net/.archive/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=62842 for last thread on subject. Do I sell the Schrick and buy the VWMS inlet leonard is selling? Hmm, tough decision, originality v £500 more in the bank, can't see it happening somehow :)

We are a nation of "moaners" rather than a nation of "doers". If the same things were happening in France the country would be at a complete standstill until something was done to resolve it.

Cut the slam panel itself!?!? Surely it's easier just to mod the plastic grille! Less costly if you make a mistake either, worst taht can happen is you need a new grille! You should see what I had to do to the slam panel of the VR to get the climatronic kit in, the grill was a walk in the park! When I was at Ralliart I used to cut holes in the roof skins for the vents to fit into, that's an £800 +fitting+paint panel, what's to fear with a Corrado slam panel?

I just cut new holes where required to fit it when I put one in the valver.

When I realised this about 15 years ago I decided that if I couldn't beat them I was better joining them. It's not all a bed of roses being a contractor though, 40p per mile for the first 10,000 per year may be a good point, ensuring you have a job to go to after each contract, keeping up with all the tax stuff/accountants/bookwork that you do outside of the normal working day is a downside. And of course the mileage allowance is for running the car, not just fuelling it. Oh, and it's a few pence per litre here in Saudi for 91 octane. But then the government here doesn't rob the majority of price paid in duties to support the welfare state.

You've not started using different petrol have you? Try it on V Power see if it's still the same.

For standard Corrado headlights you need H4, H7s are only for Inpro installs.

with good reason, just about every speedo is inaccurate, so it's starting off with duff info, at best it's a guess-ometer. But then you use the mileage from the trip to work out your mpg when you fill up. And where does the trip get it's numbers from? That'll be the speedo then!

I'm very interested to see how these perform too cos I'm planning the same job when I fly home for Christmas.............Keep us posted won't yer!

And you've decided to?????????

Guessing it's not the VR then, if it's just a cheap run around is it worth the investment, are you planning to keep it or just run it into the ground? And as you say it's hardly like you need it for work is it.

You can have my vote for, great combination.

Looks pretty tidy to me, I think I'd go for it and I'd say the price is reasonable................. I paid that for a pair of recaros :)

Just by your right knee..................assuming you're driving of course :lol:

Unless it's been converted it'll be obd1.............they all were. But if you're still in doubt look at the pic of the throttle body from VRTrckster's conversion thread and compare with yours. http://the-corrado.net/.archive/forum/download/file.php?id=45512&mode=view
