jimbo-corrado

Ive bought a Audi A4 Quattro Sport, its the 180bhp 20vt model on a v plate, its a totally different league to the corrado, if you could put the corrado body onto the A4 running gear i would have kept it :)

Last Pics pics of jimbo's corrado, the time has come and its got to go :(

Here's another example if it helps.

Mine broke there too , the square end is crimped onto the end of the selector rod and ends up braking through time , i managed to braze the end back onto the rod till i replaced it , and got another mint one from the scrappers . When i replaced it i went to snap the end off the brazed one it was solid so it prob would have done . To replace it its a bit of an ass , you have to drop the front part of the exhauste down and remove the heat / sound proofing from the tunnel , disconnect the other linkage , remove the circlips holding the cables through the bracket on the gearbox , take the gearknob / trim off, then you have to drop the gear lever box out of the tunnel along with the cables and replace the cable . Apparently the stealers have modded the end of the cable to prevent this happening . Hope this helps

Is there any chance of coming over to yours lee to see what sort of a job it is to do the heater matrix , i will be starting mine next friday and could do with some pointers . :roll:

My mate took a Leon Cupra R out for a test drive but wasn't inpressed , he was lookin to trade his golf v6 4motion in on one and said the torque steers was stupid and the build quality wasn,t as good as the golf . The S4 avant would have been spot on for me but im not payin them prices for insurance .

I was looking at an audi S4 for about £12,000 but i got an insurance quote of £3,500 fc :shock: , so i got a quote for an audi S3 which was a better £1,600 fc .Then i looked round an audi A2 and was thinking a nice set of 19" wheels under the arches , few slight mods . It will defo have to be vw / audi or bmw .

I think im going to have to let the c go but i dont know what to get next . If you had £10,000 what would you get ?

100% hot ass chicks , cause thats all im looking at when drivin down the road , so i dont notice if anyone else is lookin !! :-P

I have the same problem on my 1990 c with no sunroof , i had it re-covered last year and its all come away again so it needs to be re-done :!:

Have a look at the back of the engine and there is two water pipes going into the bulk-head , disconnect both of these and join them together . This is what it is like on the 16v and should be the same for all corrado's . Hope this helps .

There should be a screw in each of the top corners , the plastic that they go into cracks and breaks away , hence loose and sticks out .

Just pull the plastic panel away from the boot slightly , squirt some sikaflex in there , hold it into position with maskin tape till set , hey presto !!

Did i see u comin down kirki road last sat " 6th " ??

Sorry to steal the limelight mate but if you look in my thread posted in august you will see my pioneer screen fitted in my car :D

http://www.atx-hosting.co.uk/corrado/fo ... c&start=40 , last post !! :wink:

Mines only a baby 5" , but hey size does'nt matter !! :lol:

First for the ps-2 :wink: , did you have problems with the angle of the tv , i found i had to angle it slightly up to get the best picture , it looks well flushed to the console .

The skirts might have looked better if they were the right way round :lol:

Sounds good to me , im up for it .

Saw a dark green c , going down sliproad onto M1 heading towards leeds , ossett jct of M1 approx 12:50pm , reg H108 *** , looking quite sweet , slammed , dtm chrome pipes etc , anyone off here ?

The vacume pipe on mine goes to the back of the dash ( speedo clocks ) , i think this is the sensor , when the car is at idle can you hear an air leak from behind the dash ? if so the pipe may have come off . im not sure where the other end goes to , somewhere on the inlet side so have a listen for any air leaks at the back of the engine .

Im keeping them as spares , you can do ya own easy with a tin of black spray paint / T-cut , no the best way but they look better than std imo . or try and get hold of some black tint spray , i think foliotec do it ... http://www.legend.org/performance/tutor ... ights.html . 8)

Red J plate poss J***GPY seen leeds going up ring road jct of spen lane at 17:40 tonight , think it had 17's on ???

Depends which ones u get 8)

The skirts rieger M3 style from http://www.venommotorsport.com i heard you've got a black H plate corrado too , hope i have'nt got too much competition round leeds . The 2.0 still going strong , having said that ill prob blow it tomorrow lol . :D
