It's a long, winding road that often doubles back on itself!

Cheers guys just wanted to check!

That's great to hear! Really happy for you. The OBD2 conversion has always been something of a mystery on here, but now with Nathans step by step guide I'm sure we will see many more in the near future. Looking forward to seeing some photos of this car finished as it's had a heck of a lot of work put into it.

I've got a Mocal cooler with thermo plate fitted at the moment, and the way the pipes are routed is pressing on the crackipe causing a small coolant leak. I've got th front end in the air at the moment so I'm going to try and cure it. I just need to move the sandwich plate through 180degrees. Is it ok for me to remove the sandwich plate without draining all the oil out of the block first? I assume most of the oil will be in the sump by now anyhow?

Picked my parts up Thursday and spent today fitting. The shift mech bits fit inside the tunnel nice and easily. Need a couple of longer volts to fix it to the chassis but found some luckily. Getting the old tower out and new one in was a pig of a job, so much stuff in the way but managed it in the end, looks like adjustment will be nice and simple so will give that a go tomorrow. One thing: how do you get the reverse light working? The rado one sits on top of the tower, but the mk4 one has a threaded hole in the side. Do I need to buy an extra sensor to screw in?

Love reading this thread, have read through it a good few times over the last couple of years. Really good to see such a big project being properly finished and the car getting used :) Hats off to you!

They are still available from the dealer AFAIK

The game can be quite annoying at times. I've only got the German Touring car, and Nascar events left to complete in Extreme but don't want to blow all my savings on the two cars to enter it!

Ooh :)

I thought James had it resprayed just before he sold it!? I thought he'd also replaced all the rubber bits too.

Ordered my Polo parts earlier and should have them in a couple of days. Will get it built up asap and postsome photos.

I've had a s3 shift mech, cables and tower kicking about for a while. I spent about two hourstrying to fit the shift mech into the tunnel but it was too big. Are the Polo parts still available new then? I don't suppose you have a photo of them?

Here's a couple of my current interior. Mk3 Golf Colour Concept Recaros I dyed Oxblood red about 15 months ago. Really like the support the upper bolsters give, but the lower is a bit puny (sp?) compared to standard, and the seats sit a bit too high. Quite tempted to go back to standard black leather if a good set comes up. Surely with a bit of work standard leather will look exactly like Recaro? That MJ one does looking amazing though :)

Don't worry, I'm still here guys! Counting down the days until I drop off my car with Vince. I think he's doing an R32 in a MK2 and then its me. Are either of you two going to the Stealth rolling road day? 1st May?

Put me down for two pairs Stu!

Yeah that'd be me lol

Since fitting my fixed column I still have a little noticeable wobble from the top of the column, I bought a replacement top bearing at the time but couldnt find a way to separate the inner fixed shaft from the part where the steering lock/ignition goes. How do you get this apart, and are there any other pieces to replace in this area?

Maybe it was me? What's your name?

Just spent a while going through all my own posts re-subscribing to topics. I think the forums gone a bit quiet since the upgrade as all the old subscriptions were lost. Is it possible to import all the old subscriptions at all? One of the good things previously was that if you replied to a topic that was quite old, it would send notifications to all the people who'd posted in that thread. Either that, or everyone needs to start going through old posts and resubscribe to topics they've posted in!

Well I took the hub off after work and the bearing doesn't feel bad at all so I'm a tad stumped. Could the inner cv be causing the noise? It definitely goes away when turning right so I'm at least confident it's the right side.

Hi, Does anyone have a Gruven Short Shift Kit for an O2A box lying about? Thanks, Andy

JON! Sorry I didn't know that VR and Valver hubs were the same!? Whens a good time to pop over? :)

Just to check as I'm confused: If the bearing noise stops when I turn to the Right, that means the left hand bearing is the one to blame? Also, Hub nut torque is 265Nm, correct?

Bump!

Looks great Andi, thanks for putting in all that effort, was good watching the updates on Twitter. Long live The Corrado Forum!
