Nice one, my fprum name is the same and I'm on CF rather alot so you cant miss me on there :D

Thanks mate. Are you on the Corrado forum? If not you should join up ( its free ) www.corrado-forum.net

Well thought its about time I done a up date on the car. New things so far: Half tinited rear lights Tinted side repeaters Coilovers Powder coated inlet manifold Inlet cam off a VW 1.8 16v ( KR code ) engine which has more duration so smoother top end Adjustments to the fueling and...

Ok then, looks like I'm going to have to dig in my pockets

I know some where, where I can get the right paint to match. I just want the bits I've done to blend in. So no matter how much polishing I do it wont blend in then? :(

Well this winter has taken its toll on my Corrado :( first top mounts went, then ARB link broke now I've got little patches of rust apearing around the arch. So whats the best way of removing it then making the paint after blend in. Sanding it right down to bare metal, treat with anti rust...

For some reason the 2lt 16v and 1.8 16v Corrados all came with 256mm front discs. but the other version came with 280mm So just going to up grade to 280mm as its straight forward swap :D using VW parts

Had new brakes put on the back over the weekend with new bearings as well. Before Trying to removed rounded off bolt on the carrier :nuts: This is the state the discs were in :shock: Ooooooh Shiney :nuts: And final result Can all ready feel...

Preaty much the same since I brought it, some times it will go through more some times less. but there never seams to be anything to conect why it needs more some week then others.

Does it need rebuilding? Probably not. Like I said was only getting a rough idea. No the car doesnt have a undertray. Each week I have to top up the oil and its fallen about 1cm or so on the dip stick. But cant work out where it is going :( But the car runs just like new and has nothing...

Thanks for that waynne I best start saving then :lol:

Thanks for the budy. I'm not to worryed about it as I know it is a old car and will have oil leeks, but I plan to keep this car for a very long time as I belive it will become a classic, so want to keep it in tip top condition. So the best (cheapest :D ) bet would be to get a reconditioned...

Here is a video of some idiots. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lvp-MMsSleQ But people do seam to forget how to drive in the snow.

Just want to get an idea of cost for an engine rebuild. My car has nearly covered 90,000K and is almost 16 years old and I’m loosing oil some where :( but no blue smoke, mayo or any oil spots on the ground. Would it be wise to just get the head rebuilt or the bottom rebuilt or all over it...
