Indeed! I just went to City link to try and pick up some mail. Got shown the warehouse and they are 5 crates deep of packages, floor to ceiling across the entire length of this 15,000 sq ft warehouse. :pale: He told me there literally must be close to a million undelivered parcels.... just in this one warehouse :shock:

hey, i do have a few left... I'm waiting to see if the ones that i've sent out get to their destinations first just in case something happens. I'll be in touch once i know they have all arrived safe though.

If your looking for a corrado with a sensible rev range in 5th at 70MPH then you could enquire as to finding one with a gear box mod.... This Modification isn't too common but essentially the 02A Manual Gearbox 5th cog is swapped for one from a ASD type gearbox. Takes the cruising revs down to about 3300rpm at 70mph if i remember correctly. Or you could have a go at doing it yourself! lol! :wink: But TBH... even without this mod I found that the car is happy enough plodding along at 70 at around 3500-3600 (in driving a 91 G60). And the standard seats are great for long distance driving :) http://wiki.the-corrado.net/5th_gear_cog_change.html

could be the chip, you tried adjusting the idle setting on the throttle I assume? The ECU should be under the scuttle panel, passenger side... right here----> 01.jpg[/attachment:1poosoi3] They sometimes move is about though after fitting chips and things.... Just go look around the engine bay somewhere behind the dash

The post office can't track them... They went first class standard delivery. I could possibly complain but I wont get any compensation until next year... I'm just praying that the slow delivery time is due to the weather and the fact it's Christmas... They said at the post office that any mail handed in during the snow could take anywhere upto 3 weeks to be delivered... I'm trusting you guys to post up on here as soon as someone receives their set!

you can get covers for that price... but not any that will be kind to your paint and will last more than a few years. The one from halfords I mentioned is probably the cheapest one you'll find that doesn't scratch

Ok fellas... I'm starting to get a little worried. Has ANYONE got these flipping rollers yet? I know my post office (that I posted them at) ended up closing the next day for a few days due to the snow and that after reopening they where flooded with mail so it would take a while to sort but this takes the biscuit if no one has them yet! As I think I mentioned before... They all got sent via royal mail, first class. All wrapped in bubble wrap and placed in a white envelope. If anyone gets one please let me know! I'm starting to get twitchy :pale:

Hmm, cheers kev! Interesting stuff

god i'm bored.. i'm gunna look through the cheese sandwich posts... :wink:

also... There must be fuel enrichment... Petrol wouldn't have enough guts would it? i assume that with a certain size bore you can only burn a certain amount of fuel per rotation... you can compress the air (with a turbo or super charger) to provide more oxygen and so burn more fuel but at some point the pressures would just pop your valves and stuff yeah? So that means FASTER REVS to get more revs and so more fuel and more power? but then that Polo had 800NM of torque showing... there must be a point where the fuel dosn't have enough chemical energy to produce that kinda power without increasing the quanities? or am I under estimating the chemical power of petrol?

wow... that's just silly numbers also... This is a 1.9 Polo. It's showing 533KW at the wheel (my German isn't to good so correct me if im wrong) That's over 700bhp. I just didn't think these numbers where possible without destroying the block... I mean horse power is to do with the torque and the revs the engine produces... that polo was only meant to go up to 8 or 9000rpm... it must be doing more like 12000 now? or is is simply a case of a BIGGER explosion in the chamber? I'm so confused... :confused4:

Drag Corrado Seems a little mad for a small Bore engine... 850bhp?

Hi Fellas! Been getting alot of messages about the rollers not being delivered. I can only apologize but due to the snow I was unable to get to a post office that was open until late last week. However... THEY ARE ALL NOW POSTED. They went first class in a sealed standard envelope and they where all wrapped in bubble wrap. Please be patient, i know for a fact that allot of mail is obviously taking its time getting to places due to the weather (I've been waiting for a parcel from firebox for 5 days now) but I'll check with my local post office in the next few days to see how things are progressing. They must also be struggling with christmas postage delivers as well but fear not! I'm on the case xxx :)

Weh! another G60! welcome to the fold ;)

Don't think so... But your car looks PRISTINE regardles

Call that SNOW?... how do you mean clear it? you gunna sneeze over the screen to blow of that dust?

cheers dude :)

it is a rado... honest :wink:

Hey all, just a quick note to let you all know the new story of my loverly C. Got thrown out of the lock up so for the past 4 months she has been sat idle on my drive. Shes under cover and had the rusty bits covered with hamerite until I can fix them up properly. My trouble is getting the space to rip the slam panel off (not to mention the weather). Council lock ups are to small to work in and my drive is not much better. Still I have BIG plans as soon as I can get crimbo out of the way. Then it's all hands to the pumps! Check this space PS here's a photo to keep you all going... Best I can do in the circumstances!

BTW... some of you may be lucky! looks like the company turned more than the 250 i asked for! Ive noted the names of those that wanted extra... I'll let you all know how many extra i have once ive posted the ones i have orders for.

Hah! I know the feeling!!!! download/file.php?id=77405&mode=view Wrong... so wrong! :lol:

Wow thanks Man! :) in return have this ice cream eating it's own head.... :icecream:

hmm... You'll be have to be VERY LUCKY.... everyone i think is paid up. Ill send them out and if i have any left then I'll send them your way

OMG they JUST ARRIVED! :clap: :grin: :nuts: :cheers: :dance: :bonk: :turn-l: :chef: :silly: :sunny: :flower: Lucky I stayed late at work hey! flipping parcelforce!!! I'll get them sent out by Monday at the very latest! sorry for the time this has taken folks!

We'll If your HAPPY :eek: You could sell the charger you have and use that money to buy a stage 5 one later on? (or dare I say it.... a BBM Supercharger Kit :norty: ) Anyway, Get a build thread up so we can see this Awesome beast!
