Tidy another fellow in the region :D Welcome!!

Cazza - just in case........i used interparcel.com to collect a set of speedlines from somerset the other year & it was very reasonable ;)

what browser are you using? ive checked in chrome & IE10 & all is fine

OK no probs m8 Yes i would need them to be posted or by courier. I can easily arrange for a courier to pick a parcel up from you if you are able to pack them into a single box & let me know the weight, dimensions & preferable date & location [i can book it thru interparcel.com as ive used them previously to pick up some speedlines from somerset) :) i had the same issue when i tried to edit my post on this thread.......i got around it by copying the original text prior to clicking on the edit button & then paste it into the blank window, edit accordingly & click save......give that a try ;) PS by all means PM me the finer details thanks

Hello VAG-hag Could i please take the following off your hands........assuming they will all fit a late 95 model ;) MFA and indicator stalks (pair) £15.00 Sunroof switch surround £5.00 sunroof motor £5.00 & Steering wheel VR6 £15.00 (dependent upon condition; could you mail me a pic to [email protected] pls) Thanks muchly

Hello m8 im unsure as how to fit the seal but i have read that the seal itself does not stop the water getting in - it is more of a cosmetic item. if you are getting water into the cabin i believe you need to check the drain holes & drain pipes for blockages as they let the water physically escape

Yes rado's do have a chip in the key which has to be coded for the immobiliser ring - if they are out of synch the car will start & then cut out i had to argue with VW when they sold me a new barrel & key as they parts guy told me the keys were NOT chipped & i only found out they were once i had fitted the barrel & it kept starting & then cutting out - fortunately i got them to recode it FOC a possible hint tho would be to split the key in half & swap the chip over to match the ring

Just returned from a week away & my shifter has arrived :D many thanks dave!!!! i will get it fitted asap & return mine to you as soon as i can

Ha ha ha brilliant!! he is too busy driving it at the moment......enjoying the sound of his VR roaring i would imagine lol.....& as such we are (im)patiently waiting ;)

i think you hit the nail on the head there bristolbaron & said what many of us were thinking!! it seems that by looking at the number of posts the person involved with the show has done on here they have joined the forum just to defend/attack regarding ross k's post - seems it hit a nerve or is a touchy subject lol & ross k - dont worry about your punctuation or grammar, we all have our strengths & weaknesses & should not be judged by such superficial means ;)

today is the day then.......

Ooooo now that is a tidy idea!!!! :D

Ha ha no matter how many things get ticked off the 'done' list it always seems to increase with more 'wanted's' ;) lol

you know we all love to see pics corozin!!! ;)

No probs, always happy to share & help :) replacing all running gear is in my top 3 'completed tasks' on my rado as the difference is so much better on lots of levels other 2 being the KW's & a kur2y uprated headlight loom from here......though it might need to go to a top 4 as ive just ordered a short shifter off daves16v & from what ive read on here they are meant to be peachy :D

I went with OE for all the running gear :)

Thanks for the detailed post John! Very interesting & a good read :)

Welcome! as james mentions KW coilovers are popular on here, ive got V 1's myself & they are fantastic......though if i was to order them again i think i would ask them for a slightly softer spring rate. in terms of general handling you will see great returns by renewing the running gear. I finished the rounds on mine last summer & you get a great deal of 'cushioning' back with new rear beam bushes, front wishbone bushes etc. This then really makes the spend on the suspension shine as the response is crisp & precise :D good luck with the exhaust hunting tho! i would be keen to hear any of your findings as it is something im currently looking into & if you want a full manifold back system with high flo cat the options seem limited. ive kinda narrowed it down to between powerflow, longlife & vortex......though the latter is coming in at £1100!! I hope your storm turns out to be what you expected & wanted when it turns up & yup pics & daft questions are welcomed here

Hi Dave I think it is long overdue that i invested in another of your mods :D Ive dropped you a PM & would be grateful if you could please let me know how to proceed. Many thanks

hello there try this thread for a starter..... http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?t=61985&highlight=short+shift daves16V kit comes highly recommended ;)

welcome & good luck!!

Just a small question.....but why did you remove the VR specific magnex system? was it faulty? Im unsure for certain but i would have thought an exhaust should be properly matched to the engine it is fitted to :s

The bloke i brought my VR6 off had a thing about lancia's - he had several fulvia's in various states but also a mint Stratos in the garage. It was red with gold wheels & the black trim thingy that goes over the roof line I still regret not asking him to take me for a spin in it but i was that focused on picking up my VR it didnt cross my mind lol

always glad to help :)

Hi Jim Price all depends on the level of quality finish you are looking for. preparation of the panels & a thoroughly clean spray booth are essential!!! I say the latter as i trusted the last body shop i used but 18 months after having them take my bonnet back to metal & respray i have lots of 'bumps' which have risen to the surface which means either their booth cant have been spotless or they didnt wipe the panel properly clean before spraying. Plus they didnt wet & dry the lacquer after spraying to the finish i wanted as in some lights you can see the orange peel effect It is worth asking to look at their booth & bodyshop etc & also previous work. in terms of what you want doing, yes it is possible but it all depends on the skill & paint matching of the staff. in essence i think you want a respray with exception of the roof - similar to myself.......i had both sides (up to the roof rail), bonnet & tail gate under the spoiler done. Thus what you have mentioned should be feasible :) i hope this helps
