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
-
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

Billet 4's m8
-
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
-
ok m8 no problem - 3 so far but maybe that will build soon 🙂
-
an easier route would be to phone HiSpec & ask them to make you some Billet 4's which can run 312 discs
-
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
-
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
-
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
-
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 🙂
-
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
-
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
-
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
-
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
-
wow that is worse that id have imagined - just think what the underside would be like if it is that bad under the bonnet
-
currently at 9K bid by what looks to be a dealer kind of thing
-
ok m8 i see - good thinking
-
ohhhh now that is tempting ha ha ha what would you like to relinquish of said item? just in case 😉
-
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
-
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
-
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
-
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
-
out of interest does the circular floor part rotate independently?
-
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
-
few pic s of the black alcantera i had fitted a little while ago - tough to get a pic which wasnt oversaturated though
