tandino 0 Posted August 10, 2010 What you doing with the Rota's?, i might be interested if you do sell them on funds permitting when you decide to let them go! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
big ben 10 Posted August 10, 2010 What you doing with the Rota's?, i might be interested if you do sell them on funds permitting when you decide to let them go! they will be for sale if your interested... BUT, 2 are scuffed, 1 all the way round by yours truly :gag: they are 550 new without tyres. I was going to get them refurbed and sell them for 450, but i would probly sell them as they are for 300 so i dont have to bother getting them sand blasted and powder coated.

big ben 10 Posted August 28, 2010 small update from the last few weeks - had new pads all round fitted and had to replace the radiator as it had cracked. the garage wanted 3-4 hours labour so just done it myself also went to bug jam with my mate, will be going VW action with 2 other corrados next weekend, not with my old valver though as thats still in my mates garage being done up" apparently :lol: and lastly i have ordered some new wheels which will be here next month 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

big ben 10 Posted August 28, 2010 Compomotive MO's perhaps :norty: .......was tempted myself !! sure are :norty: and yeah changing the rad wasnt that bad at all, if i knew it was that easy i would of just done it myself in the first place! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted August 30, 2010 That isn't a GSF radiator is it? :? Original Denso Marsten rads from the dealer are the only rads worth fitting. We fitted a black one like that from GSF to Dinkus's VR and it leaked within a week. Hope that doesn't happen to yours! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
big ben 10 Posted August 30, 2010 its a refurbed VW radiator painted black :D it cost me £100 and my old rad. should be fine hopefully :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

big ben 10 Posted September 18, 2010 upgraded my wipers front and back with polo aero ones this week, can see in the rain now! front clips are pretty neat back and today got the rubber changed over and got the comps on, im liking the look of my car much more now 8) think my heater matrix has cracked as i have mist in my windows in the morning, can smell horrible smell with fans on and coolant is leaking really slowly from somewhere, so that should be fun :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dukest 0 Posted September 18, 2010 :notworthy: they do look lovely on a dark car (no offence to Kev but I think he has a bit of a point in his silver on ice grey violet comment..). how's the caliper clearance? can you take it out for a good thrashing now to see if theres any rubbing?! :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

big ben 10 Posted September 18, 2010 Your car looks really mean with those comps on, what et did you get them in ? cheers, it does look a lot more purposeful, and they are ET30 oo err the comps look fab :salute: Yours looks so black in those pictures, love the way moonlight does that. it is a great colour, mine always looks black out of the direct sunlight, then it goes blue with a bit of flake pop :notworthy: they do look lovely on a dark car (no offence to Kev but I think he has a bit of a point in his silver on ice grey violet comment..). how's the caliper clearance? can you take it out for a good thrashing now to see if theres any rubbing?! :D no rubbing, clearance looks like 4/5mm and the handling hasnt changed with the extra weight so im pretty chuffed with them, looks awesome in the flesh Very, very nice all the right bits make a great car. thanks, its getting there now Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
