  1. Sounds like some interesting changes, whatever could they be? my altinator has give up the ghost, was driving up the Langdale Valley using a head tourch the other nite!! i will drop "them things" round next week when im home.
  2. how was it? bet you were glad there is plenty run off with the amount of moisture in the air!
  3. My brother is running vauxhaul engine in his mini but is only using the diesel 5th gear. its a bit odd as you rev the nuts off it in 4th then pop it into 5th its about 2000rpm at about 70! did you run a complete diesel gearbox or just the 5th gear? anyway i think diesel box will be going in mine over the winter. cheers dan :)
  4. lol it keeps coming up "rival has challenged" you so its rude not to accept! that R1 challenge on the ring is hard, bit to twitchy for me
  5. What state are the front seats? if any of them are battered im after a subframe posted!?
  6. turning my rado into a bit of a track slag so looking for a pair of bucket seats i also need a drivers subframe (or passenger as i think there the same!?) to mount them. if you have a scaby old seat the the mice live in, or a subframe to which i could mount a bucket seat im looking for one! prefer it to be close so i can collect, i live in wigan but work in the lakes. cheers adam
  7. Man walkes into a chippy with a salmon under his arm and says to the bloke behind the counter "do you sell fish cakes?" the bloke replies "sorry mate, we dont do them anymore!" The man with salmon under his arm sighs....."thats a shame, its his birthday today!"
  8. there some type of clip from a nova gearbox! at least i think thats what he said.
  9. following my trip to the ring which spelt the end for my engine, my brother has fabricated this little fella from the old internals! the fourth piston is mounted on a base with a little plac (im dyslexic!) on, ill try and get a pic of it! anyway, piston man
  10. 95mph on the brakes, jammy barstool!
  11. will it have a flux copacitor tho?
  12. if you get the delorium up to 88mph you go back to 1985 and unlock a little pic like my aviator, plust its an awesome f-class car if you put some engine bits on! amount of really fast laps iv had ruined by people drafting me or back markers getting in my way when i lap them....grrrrrr
  13. its not yours, i could get yours round a bend, this one is pure wheel spin all the way through to 5th gear! try that cossie, tones of grip :)
  14. im getting a bit addicted to this, managed to make a couple of decent cars iv posted up on the club garage. yela snowman is my user name, feel free to add me. who poste the 500+ bhp fwd raddo? thats thing needs a straight jacket!
  15. picked it up today, turn all the aids off and the car is all over the show
  16. i have no sunroof on mine and it has keep fit windows! mine is also an early one but have never seen another without a sunshine roof!
  17. James sits at the end of his drive on a plastic garden chair looking out for corrados and chinquichentos (spelling may be wrong) you should drive into his corrado emporium one day! Also i spotted that white one in grasmere agian, front end was pocking out from behind a building down an alley i glanced down. was raining again so didnt bother having a nosey.
  18. look lush them james, were you take them? mite take mine one day, but think ill stay with the rat look for now!
  19. got a couple of things i need to sort on the car before i rag it round a track, ie brakes! noticed when i was stalkin you in another thread that you were thinking about doin a few other tracks, ill be booking a few next year if there car behaves itself. oulton is a good track, just watch out for druids

    1.8t vs Vr6

    my 20v goes like a stabed rat! but swapin a good vr engine for a 20v, you would loose that engine note
  21. iv got a 20v in an early rado and cant work the rev counter out, i think jabba sport do a signal converter but never checked! i was considering a 52mm universal jobby that i could mount next to the boost and temp. i had trouble with the temp guage aswell, it was either full heat or off so used a universal one!
  22. turning my corrado into a bit of a track bassed toy an wanting to fit a pair of buckets, whats the best way to get them sitting rite. i was thinking of welding some old corrado runners on to the bottom of the seats. will this give the low seating position and is it the cheapest way?
  23. ill keep my eyes open for you. they like fat rims over there, they govern that they are sick, so sick iv sold them!
