Hi guys i'm looking for 2 (left + right) late spec front wings 92 on. Thanks

Hi guys thought i'd post this link from ebay. Low miles and very pricey http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-VOLKSWAGEN-CORRADO-2-0-16V-ONLY-38000-MILES-FROM-NEW-/380911580868?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item58b01976c4

Another engine mount replaced yesterday :)[ATTACH=CONFIG]78855[/ATTACH]

Things i did today, 1 engine mount, 1 gearbox mount and a radiator flange. [ATTACH=CONFIG]78677[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]78678[/ATTACH]

Here's a pic or two from earlier when i took my dog for a walk lol, thanks for the comments. [ATTACH=CONFIG]78326[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]78327[/ATTACH]

Thanks mate, glad you like it. I'll be updating the thread when i get some jobs done.

My Corrado is back on the road for the summer, been doing a few jobs here and there. Latest was to get rid of the rubbish original wiper arms and fit some Audi TT ones, which operate much better. Also replaced one front top mount, also installed some front camber bolts on the front struts. I have a top radiator elbow to fit and a temp sensor housing. Also a new timing belt kit and super charger belt to fit. I also bought a sand blaster to freshen up the front subframe and rear axle when i get some spare time.

Page186.pdf Have a look at this mate!

Can you put me down for a set (no emblem). I need to check which one i need tomorrow as mine is a g60 with late spec bonnet.

Today i repaired both front door cards, common problem where the vinyl cover peels back off the door card where it meets the inner window trim. I used some epoxy resin to bond the vinyl back in place. All looks good now, forgot to take some pics of the repair though :( Heres a new pic of the C today though! [ATTACH=CONFIG]73655[/ATTACH]

Thanks rado20vt :)

I'm nearly done with the mods i'm going to do. The mods i've carried out are only to monitor the engine and help it run more efficient. All can easily be removed without any hassle or big holes any where. I have a 4 branch manifold ready if i feel the need for it, not 100% yet. If i do fit it, i will be fitting a AFR gauge and sensor. Oil is running cooler with good pressure (approx 3.7 bar hot under load, highest i've seen is 4.1 bar) and the boost is around 13 psi (should be 14.5 for the mods i've done), but i havent found a suitable road to run to the rev limiter yet without getting booked. As every time i floor it i seem to run out of road very quickly. I'm very happy with the engine, pulls well and very aggressive for a 21 year old car.

Brightness sorted with the gauges, installed a resistor on the illumination supply line. [ATTACH=CONFIG]73552[/ATTACH] All looking pretty much the same brightness now. [ATTACH=CONFIG]73553[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]73573[/ATTACH]

This weekend i managed to install the oil pressure and boost gauge. I was going to buy a pillar mount pod, but thought i'd make one from aluminium for the centre console. [ATTACH=CONFIG]73517[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]73518[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]73519[/ATTACH] I need to sort out the brightness of the gauges as they are really bright. [ATTACH=CONFIG]73520[/ATTACH] I run the boost vacum pipe to the FPR, so i would see an accurate reading. [ATTACH=CONFIG]73554[/ATTACH]

Hi are these switches still available to buy? I need one please!

Nice looking motor there mate!!

Fitted the new oil cooler/ sandwich plate today [ATTACH=CONFIG]73403[/ATTACH] Surprisingly it does make a difference, lower coolant temperature (sits at around 90 degrees, before it was always 100 degrees or slightly above) and the oil temp comes down much quicker (oil temp always flew up to around 125 degrees after a caning, now after a good caning, max i see is 120 degrees). Its not a massive drop in temp like the front mounted kits, but makes a definite difference. Also rerouted the intercooler spray kit today, as in the other location it was basically getting hot water spray as i positioned next to the coolant pipe. [ATTACH=CONFIG]73404[/ATTACH]

Another to do item! [ATTACH=CONFIG]73368[/ATTACH] Also picked up a new standard oil cooler, as i dont have enough spare cash to fit a an external oil cooler kit at the moment. Oil + filter change as well. [ATTACH=CONFIG]73370[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]73371[/ATTACH]

You open to offers on the rear brake splash shields?

Made some adjustments to the iat probe today. I found i had to much wire going into the intercooler pipe, which made the probe touch the intercooler pipe from the inside. This was giving me higher temp readings. So i done a slight mod to the Co pot (as mentioned in other posts on the forum) small cut to base of Co pot and then mounted the probe using epoxy resin. [ATTACH=CONFIG]73339[/ATTACH] Elastic band was used to hold the probe wire whilst the epoxy hardened.

Today i installed the intake air temperature probe and display. Here's some pics of what i done. Wired the ignition live and earth into the heated rear screen switch, [ATTACH=CONFIG]73281[/ATTACH] Mounted the display where the unleaded petrol blank was installed. Just like to point out the 34 degree reading is because the probe wasnt fitted, just resting on the engine as it was cooling. [ATTACH=CONFIG]73282[/ATTACH] Showing what it looks like in the dark. [ATTACH=CONFIG]73283[/ATTACH] With regards to any mods i'm doing, i'm trying to install everything without cutting or modifying anything in the car. This way any mods will be easily removed to put her back to standard, all standard parts will be stored away carefully. Heres some pics i took after she had a wash.

Great work, car will look like new when its done. I plan to strip mine down once the tax is up in August and start making her look new
