Well found Jon. No Corrado though. :(

Ok thanks, I'll pass on these though. Cheers bud!

Are the wishbone bushes New and are they genuine?

New series starts in 10 minutes on Discovery! Still not been able to find a list of cars being done though.

Coming on slowly mate. Only really have a couple of pics of 1 area to update. There's no rush though and they've done it well, so I'd rather that than them rush it. I'll update over the next couple of days though.

Nice one Rob, look forward to seeing some pics with everything fitted! :thumbleft:

The red 16v badges are 2 a penny so don't command much. It's the red VR6 badges that fetch high prices as I think they were only on single year models, though I may be wrong.

Have to agree with that Jim. Not my scene with youngsters doing burnouts in the car park whilst competing against who can play random electronic noise the loudest through their "system". On another note, how is a Vauxhall Omega a Classic, regardless of its livery?............

Tell me about it, I added up receipts of what I've spent on mine this year yesterday. That coupled with the good used parts I've bought in the same time could have afforded me this! :pukeright::mad2:

Fingers crossed for you mate. :thumbleft:

Where did you order the wishbones from Rob? It's something I was wondering whether to get a set refurbished, or just get aftermarket ones but unsure of quality is all.

May as well do the wishbones too Rob. And the ARB, and splash shields, and subframe, and.................... the list goes on.

Mine has been uber slow to load each page, and strange formatting of the home screen. I thought it was my tablet playing silly buggers and having slow internet access though.......:shrug:

That's fair enough mate. Mine look in reasonable knick, although I think a media blast would be required. The clamp and retaining bolt at the rear look terrible though so I'm dreading trying to get that off.

I'm after a set of those too. ;)

Good going Rob. I'll be picking up a rear beam and some front axle parts tomorrow hopefully, ready to get on that case over the winter. Always one step ahead of me though aren't you! :lol: :thumbleft:

VR6Gar Jim. Nightmare mate, perseverance is key! Easier said than done I know......

Not really no. It's a pretty primitive fuel injection system, very fiddly and difficult to set up correctly. Not many places now have any experience with it, so go in ham fisted and make matters worse. If it's running ok to begin with, leave it alone. Too many people start fiddling with the mixture screw and balls it up. The cars are at the age now where the fuelling system has started breaking down. Injectors get clogged, seals are brittle, and too much air is introduced which causes rough running. This is where people start fiddling and creating more problems. If you want reliability, go 2.0 and if you want more power, cams from the 1.8 will give you plenty extra.

2.0 bottom end with a 1.8 head! It's a good mod to gain some power. In all honesty, there are pros and cons to both. I test drove a 2.0 and was a bit disappointed with the performance, so opted for the 1.8. They both produce exactly the same figures in terms of performance, but I felt the 1.8 was a bit more responsive and had better pull up the revs. That said, the 1.8 is the older early style, which uses k-jet fuel delivery which can be a bit temperamental, and there is very little in the way of general diagnostics. The early style does have its benefits though. Parts seem to be less expensive than on the later cars, and they are very basic so easy to work on yourself.

Replied. They'll be blasted and coated in time anyway, just accumulating parts to do over winter, then swap straight in without much hassle.

Not much you can do Jim. Just try to force the heater box out without breaking it too much, then try to bond the moulded nuts back in afterward. I had to do it with one of mine when I changed the matrix.

Sunroof mechanism

As above. Many parts are obsolete so getting hard to find, and those parts can be expensive if you manage to find someone selling new old stock. http://wiki.the-corrado.net/the_corrado_buying_guide_checklist.html

As above I reckon. It's getting toward the end of the show season and an increasing amount of people are tucking them up for the winter, but it's at the point where decisions are being made as to what to do over winter, yet nothing concrete yet.

Ok great. If you PM me your number, if that's the best way to contact you I'll give you a bell nearer the time to find out when best suits. Cheers!
