The time has finally arrived!!! Confirmation of date booked with Stealth for my VR to go there for some head work & lots of shiny new parts :D Excited doesnt feel a strong enough word but i thought id share it with fellow rado lovers lol

i have ran the below for over a year now.......along with an upgraded headlights loom from KUR2Y on here & the difference to standard is, well, night & day PMSL http://www.ringautomotive.co.uk/uk/products/Cars/Bulbs/Performance+Bulbs/RW1272

Indeed VR6, thats a mighty BIG assumption though ;) lol

it is possible to replace both headlights bulbs without removing the light itself passenger side is fairly easy, though on both sides it is always a little tricky getting the bulb clips back on drivers side is also fairly easy if you take a couple of mins to disconnect & remove the airbox finally, daylight definitely helps!!! ;)

you sir are an absolute gentleman!!! thank you kindly from those of us without discovery channel :D

Tidy thanks matt!!

lots of arse today indeed, seems better in the past half hour tho it used to be much more bareable staring at the peach rather than a bunch of pixelated pixels :( lol

Most definitely NAIL & HEAD there Ben. Many people today have somehow forgotten how to respect anything at all :( Cool, i will be in touch later Nice 1!

good idea about the ECU. fingers crossed they dont actually try to get into the car. many years ago in manchester, on an old car on the drive, i had some idiots try to bend the top of my passenger door out so they could pull the door pin up....needless to say they just f***ed it up :( but the cops caught them running off & told me they would give them similar treatment as my car on their way to the station lol if its ok ben i will chat with the gf, as the items will be for her rado not mine, & drop you a message to arrange a convenient time for us all :) thanks in advance!

Hi Ben Sorry to hear of your troubles.....little gits!! I would gladly take them off your hands for free :) Let me know how best to proceed if that would be ok? thanks andy

Hello Mark There is lots & lots of info on this forum & IIRC there is also a buyers guide in the wiki ;)

if you have an old key you might be able to split the plastic apart & remove the coded chip so as to put in the newly cut key ;) i found this out when i changed my ignition barrel 2 years ago - when i ordered it VW assured me the keys werent coded but they definitley are

ive not seen the trailer but it is known here that it will appear in the new series did the trailer say when the series starts

ha ha ha :D

thanks for looking bullfinch. might be a lot of work for a small-ish saving

If the timing is right i would be interested as well. Im currently waiting for roose motorsport to make & deliver my cooling pipes & once received im ready to book in with vince for some work which includes 263's does anyone know how many people we would need for a group buy? (i will try & check the previous thread when i have a moment later)

well thank fook for that......failing memory but still have your rado, love it!!! lol

welcome! nice to see another rado has a home in the midlands :D

Grrrrr vent.com :D good point, well made!! lol Plus....can i have my bacon in bread with red sauce pls

Oooo yes, very nice!!

Indeed, discovery shed IIRC thanks jon_vr6 - i thought id check the discovery website & ...... http://www.discoveryuk.com/web/fifth-gear/episode-guide-new-series/ series starts Sept 19th at 9PM but i cant figure if the rado's will be in..... episode 2...... 'Jonny reveals his petrolhead investments – three classic cars that you should buy now to make a profit in the future.' or episode 4...... 'And Jason reveals three incredible value sports cars that can be bought for just £5,000' :D

I had a similar conversation with the same person Jim, as we already know ;) lol I checked the fifth gear site to see if there were any schedule listings for this episode but drew a blank......has anyone got any ideas how we find out when it will be aired? jon_vr6 - that video was taken outside of volkswizard's unit......i remember it from when the gf picked up her storm from there ;)

Im not sure then Jim Might be worth giving KW a call for a chat

Jim - what is the feel of the dampen & return like when you push a front corner down? Does it feel any different to the rears? I noticed a small oil smear on top of my KW's several months after having them so i spoke to KW - they said that a small residue is normal as the piston which moves is slightly lubricated & as such can produce said oily smear on top of the strut. IIRC KW said that they are gas dampers, rather than traditional oil or similar filled dampers, & thus if there was a leak they would loose most if not all of their damping effect also, have you spoken to KW as their US site states...... 'How much warranty do I have on my KW’s? All KW street suspension comes with a limited lifetime warranty against any manufacturing defect' Hope this helps

welcome & good luck Id love to have another rado to strip to essentials only!
