  1. Cheers Si, Personally to me it sounds like it's from the exhaust and when it's making the noise it does in the cab, I'm going to get the gearbox mount sorted as I'm not using the car this week. If it's the exhaust gasket that's worn and the gearbox mount is gone would that cause the noise to become louder? Only that it seems to do it then will go, I might take it for a spin later and record it as it will be easier than describing it ---------- Post added at 11:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:44 AM ---------- So there it is, a quick sound clip of it and the clunking that happens from time to time which I'm told is the gearbox mount
  2. You getting the same sounds as well then?
  3. I do usually run it with 98ron, but at the moment it does have 95 in it Would it also give off a smell if it's pinking? because it smells very strong while it's doing it. I plan to change the gearbox mount this week but I'm not convinced that it will sort the clicking noise. The only way I can describe it is that it sounds like air escaping from a gap or them stupid clickers you'd put on your bike to hit the spokes, does that still sound pinking?
  4. Yep, you nailed it It's alright in low gears but if you put your foot down or try putting it down in 3/4th, it starts
  5. Chains were done in 2009, think it had done 170k or so when they were done It's really weird because it goes, it will come back when you're in like 4th gear on a hill and it's smelling a bit rich from the exhaust, but it has always smelt like that
  6. as per the tittle my VR6 has started to make the above sound Seems to be ok sometimes, sounds like it's infront of the bulk head and it seems to be under load when it starts to do it, but once it starts it carrys on till the car comes to idle, then goes for a while then comes back, also notice it runs a bit crap when it's doing it then sorts itself out. I took it to a garage and they've pointed out the gearbox mount is leaking and it could be that, which ties in because you can hear it thud, but does this tie in with the clicking noise? it's like either the exhaust is letting out exhaust or something is catching Anyone got any ideas?
  7. seen this on eBay... was shocked to see one in such good condition would not mind it but I know it would get damaged in a heart beat :-(
  8. I wish I had the money for this, I've just had to watch one sell on eBay as well for £500 with ECU, can be sure that when I have the money there won't be any about
  9. Any ideas on powering the needles
  10. Anyone managed to fit these to Corrado clocks? I've got a set I could get a hold of and wouldn't mind light up needles but I don't know how I would go about getting power to then, wondered if anyone had tried this or know of anyone doing a similar conversion I've seen the proper ones you can buy from the states so there must be a way to get power to them but I don't fancy paying £100 for a set of needles
  11. +1 for the interest here
  12. I was interested but since I asked if they were still for sale I've gone and sorted out a set of D90's
  13. Also I interested to see if these are still for sale
  14. Have I been had for £30?

  15. Have you still got the DDI dials? if so I'll take them off your hands
  16. I've sent payment mate, pm'd you to see if you've got it ok but no reply

  17. I'm sure you've all probably seen it but I was trying to find a pic of the one I keep referring to but they're all on instagram, they look very oem though Sent from my LT26i using Tapatalk 2
  18. Good couple of options on there, nice to see the DDI's ones fitted at the end like someones said on that thread, they can look odd with standard bumpers but I like the OEM bumpers, just think the sides cut in quite a lot Might see how it looks when I remove my bump strips and make my mind up then
  19. Might setup the pol tomorrow if I get chance I didn't really specify that I meant 1lowcoupes are amazing, I have seen some pretty terrible ones but the DDI set don't look too bad either Some look very bad though
  20. Merry Christmas guys Whats everyone's opinion on side skirts, there's a certain Corrado that was featured in PVW and I was speaking to the guy who owns it on Instagram and he said he's got a rare set on his personally I think they look amazing, but I wanted to see what other Corrado owners opinions were, I get they're not everyones cup of tea like
  21. morning guys Anyone got a spare late spec center console they'd be willing to sell and the clock surround plastics? Not had the ash tray in mine for a while and it's making it look a right mess Thanks
  22. You sir... have a private message
  23. While scavenging around on the net I've come across a few people who have said the 288's are a lot better over the stock brakes, with braided line which brings me right on to swampy the custom lines you do, are they braided lines? and how much for a set?
  24. I don't know what to do now, I was discussing it with a friend last night and I'd decided to just put the 288's on for now. I'd need some 312mm carriers which seem to be quite costly, or i'm looking in the wrong place, but I wouldn't like to waste money buying 288 discs when I could have just got the 312mm what do I do?!
  25. Right cool, thanks for clearing that up mate Think I'll buy some carriers next week and discs/pads
