I’m tipping he had OE Corrado one knocking around in one of numerous full box’s of new parts. 😂

I think it would be cheaper to get the wheels machined to 57.1. My wheels came from rimstyle and they sorted the machine work and spacers. The wheels and spacers were machined so the centre bore spacer fits the Corrado disc boss as I think they had a bigger bore Than 57.1

Not far off now. I bet you can almost smell the fumes

It’s had at least 3 owners since I let it go. It’s interesting to note that none have kept it longer than 12 months or there abouts. I and the last owners have sold it for what it was worth. It’s not the finished show winner that 12k would buy you. It’ wasn’t also a under sold £7.5 .8k bargain. I had 2 Corrado’s for 8 years, one had to go. You yourself mentioned the other day about running 2 classics, it can get a bit much. Space, time and money being the usual factors. I also thought that I’d sold it on in a lot better condition than I bought it, which is reflected in the fact that I sold for twice as much as I bought it for.

Best Value £1300 spent on the car 👍

I believe that to be my old car M50 OTH. Never had the chains done or any other engine work while I had it. sold it to a guy who said he was going to finish it off and cherish it. 😂 sold it 2 or 3 years ago for £7.5.

If the car is also black then yes, the early vr6 was like that, it also probably has a distributor instead of a coil pack.

I keep threatening my self with the polo gear shift conversation, but can’t get it together. Some good progress made there matey.

I know, when I first read it I thought “ sounds like he’s 13 having his first finger fumble. 😂😂😂

What exactly does “and everything” mean 😂😂

You could get a spacer bored to 56mm and 57.1 I’ll get a photo later of my spacers on the 17’s. 17’s offer a lot more grip but aren’t very speed bump friendly

If these are what you are going for I would allow for 5-6mm spacers and longer bolts. as the wheels are the same size ( 6.5” wide) as standard speedlines but bigger et they will sit 6mm further in and may catch your coil overs, it will look funny even if they bolt on without catching anything on think. My 17” BBS have spacers to punch them out a bit.

The bigger the et the more it’s sits into the arch. The smaller the number the more the wheel pushes out of the arch. That why wheels with big lips/dishes generally have a low offset and rub your arch’s

How much did the recon ones set you back

Can’t see that working again

I meant can I have your adapter please

What make rear sensors did you fit? I’ve heard some are intermittent

Can I have that please

When it’s cold it doesn’t take a signal from the maf.

They aren’t the same size I’m sure Dizzy ones are longer as it sticks out more and a longer lead to get to the bottom of it. It must be to justify a run they just do a one fits all pack.

Bosch just make one set for the Corrado now, like Keyo says it’s so they fit a distributor or coil pack. I found the Bosch ones just a bit long for the coil pack and looked a bit untidy. There won’t be any difference on the aaa to ABV as they are the same head, coil pack and plastic trim

They were about £90 each delivered.

The ones I’ve fitted were TRW , BHN202 & BHN203. Both brand new OEM Lucas in a TRW box. If you ever bought a track rod end from the VW dealer they sold you a TRW one. Dox you appear to be right about the description I gave, but that’s what one of the sellers on eBay listed it as. I suppose I got lucky they fit and work, and they do work real good and the handbrake is now ace. I thought they might do though going by the handbrake bracket which is the early type. I’ve since gone on TRW’s website and they are to fit amongst other things a range of mark 4 golf estates, so you seem to be correct in thinking they had a larger piston in the estates as well, hats off sir.

Corrado cable ends on the left or like mine can be just a ball. I think the brackets on the callipers you have are for cables shown on the right, where a bigger gap is required. It’s a bloody mine field sometimes.

Well done fla. the ends on the handbrake cables seem too small for those calliper handbrake bracket though. The gap for those cable ends should only be about 3-4mm, just big enough for the cable to pass through. I bought a couple of return springs for a fiver too, easy enough to clip on and don’t half make the handbrake mech feel sorted
