    nice jim - I didn't know you did any publishing/design :)

     

    You mean other than putting the Sprinter magazine together which I've been doing for nearly a decade? :) Publishing / design is a strong word as I'm an absolute amateur no doubt about it but I can do a bit, and it's enough to make the CCGB magazine at least, and occasional things like this for the club.

     

    The advert is nothing more than a lightly fettled photo with some text over it but.. still.. better than nothing I guess.

    I'm pretty sure that's for a Clifford Alarm System - possibly the Blackjax security feature? I think you can use it to program in some kind of code... and if you get carjacked, the thief will be able to drive away for a short amount of time but then the car cuts out and they can't restart it without putting in the code.

    Be interesting to hear what you find when you try running it without the belt. Could of course be the belt itself, but presumably you replaced that with a new VAG item during the rebuild?

    Could still be the pump. They can take a little while to quieten down and fully bleed themselves. Have you tried lots of lock to lock steering with the engine running to bleed it?

    Does seem ridiculous, Chris! :( Maybe location not helping, as you're pretty far north? My lock-up is empty for the next few months whilst my Corrado is getting sorted - if you wanted to get it down here to open up the potential audience, I'd be happy to store it handle some viewings, etc?

    I'm going to hazard a guess they were lost during a forum migration a while back. As the forum has evolved it's switched between a couple of different pieces of forum software - and they all handle things like attachments differently unfortunately. That thread is nearly 10 years old!

     

    The only way to ensure that images will be retained will be to host them offsite, and just link to them in a post.

     

    Certainly worth dropping the forum owner t700bes a PM to see if he has any ideas but I suspect they've long gone.

    Thought some of you may be interested to see a VW Classic Parts order I placed the other day. My VR is currently undergoing another engine rebuild, and Yandards tipped me off that he'd spotted the wiring loom from the round multi-pin connector onwards for the VR6 listed for a very reasonable €109. I procrastinated for a few weeks but relented and made a purchase. His reasoning of replacing a 20 year old heated / cooled loom from a car with over 200,000 miles seemed quite reasonable! Came today. It's the wiring for the injectors, all the temperature sensors, oil pressure sensors, ISV, coil pack, and I think the MAF. Not a bad price really going by their normal pricing - this type of loom for other models seems to come in at about 3x the price. Manufacturing date seems to be from 2002. Still a nice new piece to fit whilst everything is apart, and I will of course hang onto the old one as a spare :)

    Would love to see pictures of some of the other stuff you've got or been working on! Still never had the chance to go out in any of the classic American stuff but it's a long held dream to own something, some day (though with the prices some of them are fetching these days, I think I may have to write that off!) like a Charger, Challenger, Mustang, Cuda, etc...

    Nice. I'm hoping to replace the suspension on my VR at some point, and whilst part of me wants fixed height dampers (cheaper, etc), I like the thought of being able to get the ride height just right. Certainly be interested to hear how you get on with them though I figure it'll be a while till they're actually on the car and you're using it!

    My father owned a 68 Barracuda in the 70's. His CB handle was Cuda and mine was Cuda Jr.. So now Cuda is my interweb handle.

     

    Awesome. I get extremely weak at the knees for American muscle cars, especially stuff from the 60's :)

    I hope the exhaust is better than their marketing / advertising at least. Took this pic at the Restoration show at the start of March, advertising their Milltek Classic system for the Corrado VR6. Not sure where they got those dates from!! :)
