    tyre pressures

    what kind of psi should i be putting into my c? its a 1.8 16v with 17'' wheels :roll: Thanks in advance
  2. yeah the impreza pi is easily the best looking impreza, but they are a bit in yer face, no class, unlike a corrado!!!!
  3. The only impreza ive driven is a p1, in a nutshell it was stunning! the thing moved like there was no tommorow, but in my opinion the looks will never match a sorted corrado!!! its also five times more expensive (at least) and you dont look like a twat driving a corrado!!1

  6. not to sure how much it is dropped, i have had the plate for a while, i use auto glym polish, and yeah it is tricky to keep the car clean!!!! oh yeah and the wheels are bk racing with a trick black finish or something like that!!! thanks for all the comments.
  7. The only thing ive done to it is put an amp and alpine head unit in and put a momo steering wheel on. the car has done 123k!!!
  8. it probably has been debadged at one time as the 16v badges are gone! i thought the corrado badge looked a bit left as well!
  9. pics will follow when they have been kindly resized for me by vr6storm!!!! Edit: Pics added......and the name's VR6 ;)
  10. I have these in 17inch on my corrado, they look well nice i think, there flashy without being too in yer face!!!

    Fan problems

    sorry if the original post was confusing! Basically when i just turn the ignition on a fan comes on, my mechanic reckons this isnt normal, does this happen on corrados?? he said that it wont cause damage to the engine but it means that it will take longer to warm up??

    Fan problems

    I went to my mechanic to get my cam belt changed. when the ignition is turned on a belt comes on, the mechanic reckons this shouldnt happen and means that the car will take a while to warm up. Should a belt come on when the ignition is turned?
  14. Im 18 and found elephant the only insurers that would insure me!!!

    16v vs. G60

    I know this has probably been posted loads of times before but i couldnt really find anything. I have recently become the owner of a 1.8 16v very pleased with it, before i bought it i test drove a few g60's, unfortunateley the right one never came up but a nice 16v did so i got that. i am bit confused whether the g60 is quicker than the 16v. parkers say that it isnt and a few people i have spoke also said the 16v is quicker, the g60's i drove sounded better but didnt really feel any faster! i actually prefered the ride of the 16v, i felt the g60 was a bit rough/stop/start on the throttle, can you please tell me what is officially the quickest!!!!!????
  17. thanks a lot mate, do you know what happens if it goes?? im going to my mechanic tommorow so ill get it done then!!
  18. The heated recaros would be worth quite a tidy sum i imagine???
  19. my 1.8 16v has 123k on it, drives lovely. no complaints, has quite a bit of service history but no evidence of a cam belt change!! i know i should get it done right now but can you tell if it is about to go? also what happens if it goes while driving, heard some real horror stories but not sure exactly what happens!!! thanks in advance guys!
  20. I use a mechanic in putney, where i live, not to far from you, hes not a vw specialist but he is very reliable and trustworthy and he doesnt charge the earth!!
  21. my insurers charge more for the 1.8 than the 2.0, aint shure why, i was gona get a mk2 gti 16v (before i got the c) and it worked out more expensive to insure than a mk3 16v!!!!
  22. I think the 1.8 is a lot better, it doesnt need a cat, its quicker than the 2.0 and cheaper! on the bad side though the insurance for the 1.8 is more expensive than the 2.0, well for me it was anyway!
  23. yep, spyballs do have use a ball as the guy mentioned above, i know this as my dad has got a spyball on his bike! so the tilt in your drive probably caused the false alarm, but believe it or not your air freshner may also of triggered it, if it was swaying in your car it would of set the sensor inside the car, i have a sigma alarm in my corrado and the manual says this can be a cause of false alarms!!!
