ha ha ha - get a room ;) lol

good point Kev, seeing these sports in real life gives a massively different experience to looking from the couch. i dont think i will ever forget when i went to Shelsley Hill climb event & saw a metro 6R4 in the flesh for the 1st time. quite how they managed to shoe horn all that engine into such a small area i have no idea!! the owners often have lots of willing to chat to spectators too & he didnt mind me pretty much clambering inside the 6R4 to get a closer look lol Plus seeing OR more pertinent, hearing, the audi S1 quattro's go up the hill is a sheer experience in itself. the sequential turbos in the ones i saw were so big & loud its like they could hoover cows into them from a nearby field :D

Speaking of Group B........oddly the guy i purchased my VR from over derby way had a mint Lancia Stratos in his garage, a lovely red colour with gold wheels & the black bar thing that goes over the top I really wish i had taken some more time to look at it, or ask him for a quick ride in it but i was that focused on buying my VR that it didnt enter my head until a few days after lol

Hello m8 as far as i am aware it is worthwhile using a VT mount for the front engine mount & then use OEM for rear engine mount & both front & rear gearbox mounts IIRC this was what vince at stealth advised me when i had my head rebuild & other bits done I think if you go with VT mounts all round it produces quite a degree of cabin vibrations - Kev Bacon should be able to expand on this if he sees it ;)

No need to apologise, it was my mistake as i was looking on ths thread. ive found the album you refer to & it looks good! the photo on the forecourt is a very nice one :) i didnt even know (or rather had never looked) that you could create an album in a user profile page & ive been on here ages lol well done :clap: i see you have an early model too, judging by the grill. im a fan of the 7 slat version & have recently found & refurbished a replacement for my 16V which i brought back a few months ago

ive been abstaining on this thread & just enjoying reading as i like lots of motorsport & they all have their own unique viewing/following advantages & disadvantages however i feel it timely to pose......should i throw NASCAR into the mix here 'they are making a left turn!!!' (said in the voice of Bubba J from Jeff Dunham) PMSL not that ive watched any NASCAR but it seemed appropriate considering the motorsport slanging going on ;)

keh!? where be this upload you mention Katy? lol

they do outdoor versions too, i was having a browse on the carcoon site - wow they are expensive though but cheaper than building a garage i guess lol

always worth checking the foliage filter too, take a look at this http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?t=76785

Excellent - thank you for letting us know good luck with the first batch

Morning Damn i knew i should have come on here over the weekend . Could i please have enough rollers for 2 doors please? Happy to pay upfront or wait for the confirmed batch - whichever is easier :) thanks

ha ha very cool indeed! so much so it has cheer'd up my dull day - thank you :)

nice post VAG-hag - think they are double that at the stealers lately!!

ive a jack - but no wheel brace

They are the additional VDO gauges which fit in the centre console - be careful as they are handed quite a few people on here have them

Ooo i wonder if we could organise a forum meet & watch you race too.....anyone....maybe? :D

lilfuzzer to the rescue :)

ha ha pan & fire spring to mind leopan ;)

Ooo nice to know where you had your paint done EJ - & looking at maps its not a million miles away from me i think i may now know where i would like to trust to send my VR in due course ive been stung by body shops twice & dont want to be again :(

Errrr not sure but would one of daves16v door handle repair kits fix it? linky http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?t=10426&highlight=door+handle

Afternoon all I thought i would let you know that with the help of Anna at Heritage i have been able to order an o/s sill repair section delivered to my door for just shy of £50 Heritage have been able to remove the extortionate shipping costs from classic parts by sourcing the part for me fingers crossed it will be long enough to sort the small issues on both sides :D well done Anna!! Oh & thanks also to maff & gti_jamo - appreciate the advice chaps

:D lol

Hello Zak Its been while since ive seen you on here - hows tricks? hope your well. I have 2 of your looms m8, both the 3 relay versions, & one of the relays popped on mine a few weeks ago. I replaced all 3 as i didnt have time to figure which was dipped/sidelights/main beam etc are you able to tell me which one is which so i can make a note of it pls? Thanks muchly

i think it is the PCV valve breather return hose, or something like that, as the 90 degree elbow just up from your finger is said PCV valve IIRC VW charge a fortune for a whole section with the PCV valve but you can get the individual bits from ford as a galaxy V6 has the very same PCV valve hope that helps Oh & from experience when replacing it you need the same type of clip that currently holds it on as a jubilee will not hold it - as i found when stealth fitted my roose motorsport hoses

indeed Jim! i cant stop laughing at the final paragraph of the valver 'WE ARE CONFIDENT THAT THIS IS THE BEST EXAMPLE OF THIS ICONIC VW COUPE CURRENTLY AVAILABLE ON THE OPEN MARKET. VIEWING ESSENTIAL. PROFESSIONAL DESCRIPTIONS A PLEASURE FOR ANY LONG DISTANCE BUYERS, PLEASE ASK FOR ANTHONY' really!!! the BEST currently available....hmmmm pull the other 1 m8
