the new knight rider is brilliant my fave thing on tv and its in HD!!

dont know if the discs are any good, would be heavy to post tho, you do need mk2>mk4 rear flexis from goodrich tho, have a look there should be a thread below yours talkin about similar

was it kamei who used to a kit with the similar back light to that on the mk2? there were 2 white ones around beaumaris years ago... always liked em... in the 90`s

id did a week around devon and cornwall last month on koni adj and H&R springs, obvioulsy they are stiffer than standard but never got any bone shaking jolt or complaints from the gf about her :censored: hurting lol

not for me im afraid, our mk3 is white wouldnt look good

mk4 calipers everything else the same!

cats are such great helpers, my jessisca love helping under the bonnet!, she no good at opening beers tho!!

i dont use my rear speakers so have removed them and can adjust the back through the speaker grills!

this pic looks anti clockwise for firm!

1.5ltr G12+ £7 from dealers as of 2 days ago

yeah i read your posts very good, they are the same price so i just dont know which to go for - edging toward the mk4`s i dunno why tho lol

disks are just standard ones and they are fine for another set so its just the pads i need

also i dont imagine i need 1144 on the rear some cheaper ones would prob be fine but might as well if im ordering the fronts too

hi i`ve been trawling through the forum about which pads to use on my 16v with G60 front brakes and Mk4 rears, the disks, pads and calipers were put on 18months ago and have been fine until now.

i`ve settled on Mintex 1144 all round so pretty obviously i need G60 pads up front but its the rears i need to know what people have fitted.

corrado pads are 15mm thick MDB1382, i know these will fit as when the conversion was done the normal pads and disks were used but i`m not sure whether i should use Golf Mk4 pads which are 17mm thick MDB1377 as i read the pedal feel can be a bit long when using the thinner pads especially as the discs are not new and have a mm or so wear into them, i know the Mk4 will fit although some people have had to shave a mm or so off the pads to get them in.

so come on people tell me which to go for!

cheers

i put mine in the centre air vents wasnt too hard to do once you got the pressure sender etc

cleaning the blades with vinegar can help, i suffer from the same although im using really old blades just figured i need new ones and i use rain ex - drove from anglesey to leeds with out using my wipers once when it was rainiing quite a lot much to the worry of my passengers lol

Just spent a week in Cornwall - based in Padstow, drove all around Cornwall right down to The Lizard, up to Newquay and back home again - must have covered 600+ miles all told and didn't see a single sodding Corrado!!

no way i just got back from a week in devon and cornwall even went to padstow, done over 1000miles and the only corrado we passed was on the way back from wakestock in pwllheli this moring, a purple m reg, but i was asleep!!

if your not happy then sell it if you cant recoup some of your costs, but i fear a g or vr will be much more cost, ive been down this road many times

are you not driving this one though?

to be fair 6k is damn good money for a rado as i imagine they could just sting you for a standard car if they wanted, you still have to pay a lot back but at least youd get it back to sell off the stuff etc, i found that as they increase the payout they tend to up the %cost of buy back - so your looking at 4k and your car back, which when my mate sold his 1.8t corrado for 4.5k a while back is not too bad.

good luck with it all such a shame

think the early and late are slightly different, the early one has a slot for a screwdriver with a spring pin in the middle of it, just push that in with the blade and turn

where was this mate i popped into the nearest (newton abbott) and they had no idea what i was on about??!

im around devon and cornwall this week not seen another yet be sure to flash if ya see me!

another one to throw into the mix.

i have just got my hands on a golf2 lower front brace, i`ve offered it up and it looks like it will fit which makes sense although it does look like the gearbox will be very close, has anyone fitted one and what difference will it make if any?

im gonna have a go at fitting tomorrow, any tips??

cheers
