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

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)

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!

g0ldf1ng3r replied to Portent's topic in Off-topic Chat
Ive not noticed this thread before but having now read through it in full i think we, as in the majority of us who use this forum, are blessed to have such kind & thoughtful members here!! Lots of support, friendly sharing of experiences & a general understanding that everyone is different & that we all have our good times & bad. Portent, its great that you are striving - & succeeding it seems - in making a happier life for yourself & your family! I shared a similar experience with my old job last year & in the end i made the decision that i could pay my mortgage for 3-6 months & i quit. Fortunately i managed to find a new job by the end of the summer & it has made for a much happier me. Change is scary, change is tough but change can be good but as many of us said.....happiness is key in life :D -
Thanks for your input Jim! i will certainly give them a go once ive taken the current wheels off :)

The "what I did to my Corrado today" thread...
g0ldf1ng3r replied to Jim's topic in General Car Chat
good work Byrd! did you use a glue thinner to remove the old stuff? im planning on attempting this job in the next few weeks hopefully -
I agree m8, i only replied to the post as i had spoken with the place & the confirmed the price was £20 per wheel. however, the finish may well reflect that lol
-
Good point well made Jim & there are places that will do for less than that. If your in the midlands there is http://www.citypowdercoating.co.uk/ who say they will do for £20 per wheel. Ive no experience of them but for £80 for a set of 4 im considering giving them a go for the set of speedlines i take off
-
bloody hell borarob its hard to believe they were done with hammerite, they look lovely in the photo! ive hand prep'd & etch primer'd my other set of speedlines & my uncle is going to be spraying them in black cellulose paint - lots of layers of paint & lots of rubbing to get the depth & shine....hopefully

Welcome! Keep looking until you find the really good 1 you want, they are out there :)

there is a post on this forum about silicone grease designed for sunroof mechanisms. apparently the silicone stuff does not collect the dirt & bits & clog up. IIRC kevin bacon had a sunroof which would not slide but once he had cleaned & greased with the correct stuff it worked fine. i purchased some & received it a couple of weeks ago but havent had time to clean & apply this new stuff yet found the post.......try this http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?t=81534&highlight=sunroof+grease hope it helps or comes in useful :)

Personally i have used infinty kappa range speakers in my cars for over 15 years & find their quality of audio & range to be superb. It is quite a basic setup of sony head unit [4*52w RMS], a pair of kappa 693i 6*9's & a pair of the 5.25" kappa's for the door pods......simples :D
-
Well would you believe it......i work literally around the corner from Da Corrado! I had always thought it would be a good place to get a nice pic of the rado outside of the building & get their signage in the pic :D lol I also know of a very good & very nice cider house just down the road from there which has a garden alongside the canal - the bluebell makes for a picturesque pint of scrumpy on a sunny day I will check out if can make the 18th as southam is not too far away & has a plethora of nice drive options to get there & back
