  1. as mentioned before m8 - phone them....tell them your exact wheel specs & they will tell you what caliper / disc options will fit for your setup much easier to discuss options on the phone than over email
  2. HiSpec will be able to supply everything you need, calipers, brackets, discs, pads, brake hoses - just give them a call & run through what you would like
  3. yes i have nice yellow Billet 4s on my VR6 i absolutely love them, far superior to OE brakes & awesome performance i chose HiSpec as they were the only 4 pots i could get which would fit under the 15" speedlines as far as i know there are several reputable workshops that recommend HiSpecs for corrado's - pretty sure ive seen John Mitchell Racing fitting them to customers cars you can give them you full wheel spec & they will confirm if you can run 312's or tell you the max disc size for your setup i found them to be very helpful but i would say to not use their spacers if you need them as the cheap ones they did me were not hubcentric
  4. ok m8 no problem - 3 so far but maybe that will build soon 🙂
  5. an easier route would be to phone HiSpec & ask them to make you some Billet 4's which can run 312 discs
  6. send me your email & i will send you a copy Hasan i was able to reline the felt with the airbox in place once all the dash was out. access was pretty decent & i wasnt brave enough to disconnect the bowden cables etc i used sticky back felt which a forum member here sent me, i think it was purchased from a hobby shop it is possible to do it all on a driveway etc but you would need somewhere to put the larger parts indoors - if taking your time id guess at about 3 hours to take it out & then similar to put back in i sticky labelled all cables etc & then had loads of envelopes for the rest of the stuff & labelled everything
  7. hi, thanks for the post i would imagine purchasing an original ECU would be the best route if you want to keep it original & standard i believe the mileage is only recorded in the cluster & as such would not change with a replacement ECU pls do share some pics if you would like to
  8. having done the diverter flap job twice & had the dash out 3 times it is so much easier when you have full access you could try just removing the centre section but from memory i cant recall how much access this would give i can email you my dash out guide which has pics so maybe you could see if what you want to do would be possible worst case it really isnt a difficult job to get the dash out, just need to be organised & label everything
  9. holy shit this makes me excited to see this as i dropped the VR off at my mechanics for an underside restoration a week ago 🙂
  10. hi there if you send me your email address i will send you a full guide with pictures on how to change the matrix be very very careful driving a VR6 with no cooling, the block is aluminium & can warp if ran for too long without sufficient cooling
  11. i guess that if the mileage is absolutely genuine then with a decent chunk of investment it could be turned into a cracking ultra low miler however, for me, that chunk would be a near nut & bolt restoration to achieve the quality required for a top line premium - by which point i doubt there would be any profit in it at all
  12. sold for 14.5k i hope the buyer has a big wallet BUT a positive sign for the rest of us with well maintained & looked after versions
  13. currently at £11k with 6 hours to go just spotted that despite the advert saying a new sunroof motor is needed the sunroof is on tilt in the pics - have they done that by the manual winder i wonder
  14. wow that is worse that id have imagined - just think what the underside would be like if it is that bad under the bonnet
  15. currently at 9K bid by what looks to be a dealer kind of thing
  16. ohhhh now that is tempting ha ha ha what would you like to relinquish of said item? just in case 😉
  17. thanks m8, it wasnt cheap but i am very happy with it i think the sunroof switch part was covered with a single piece & then cut out where required i used a local place by me called B&M Trim - ive used them a few times & their work is superb
  18. honestly m8 WOW!! what a brilliant setup! if only i could get a car down the side of my house 😞 planning wouldnt let me build a garage on the huge front drive i have as it is in front of the parity line but due to the layout of the plot i cant get a car down the side
  19. wow that really is awesome!! if only i had the space & money for a garage like that lol love the way you have big windows looking out onto the garden too - reminds me of Chris Evans show room for his ferrari's
  20. thanks chris errr id thought about putting a black one in as i have a black one in the 16v but i think it was out of a golf as the style is different i kinda quite like the accent the grey gives the overhead though, might look too black if all black
  21. out of interest does the circular floor part rotate independently?
  22. thanks m8 if im honest i dont even like touching it as i dont want to leave any finger marks or grease etc off hands but i was very pleased how it turned out
  23. few pic s of the black alcantera i had fitted a little while ago - tough to get a pic which wasnt oversaturated though
