  1. Could you put my brother down please, he has a scirocco gt2. His name is lance. I will pay the deposit.
  2. I will be going down to this. Will be mainly tearing up the strip though!
  3. Was good to meet you at the weekend mate. You have a great looking car there!
  4. I had a good time as well! It was good to meet a few people, and talk cars. I hope VeedubVR is ok i saw his car on the hard shoulder coming back, i would have stopped but only saw it at the last minute in the outside lane...
  5. Inside spaces are allocated to the national clubs i think. local clubs line up outside and its first come first serve!
  6. Had the day off today to get the last few bits on my car sorted. Long and short of it is that i am back on the road! It drives lovely and pulls very well, no real issues at the moment. The H&R coilovers are brilliant they damp perfectly and are very confortable. I just need to get the wheel alignment sorted out next week and i am done. For now! Anyway here are a few pics of it next to my brother scirooco GT2.
  7. Ford have been doing it for years mate. We call it a "stylised steel" wheel! Not alot of point in it really as by the time you have bought the wheel and the trim it costs about the same as an alloy!
  8. Booked into the whitehouse hotel in the end. Twin room, £25 a head for me and my brother! not bad i think!
  9. 1995 on cars have obd2 16 pin connectors connectors, but obd1 management. Pre 1995 cars have whats called a 2 plus 2 connector, which is obd1!
  10. Thanks people for the comments. Really chuffed to be invited on to your stand! The corrado is a daily so it is not a full on show car, and TBH it does show, but it is a good example that i will gradually be improving on when funds allow! I look forward to meeting all of you.
  11. Thanks, should be driving it by the weekend. Might have to get it machine polished so it doesnt look to out of place!
  12. Havent updated this in a while so here is two weeks worth of work! Engine is now ready to come out! After we managed to strip all parts off it is now just sitting there on its mounts. The lower splash panel at the front will need rustproofing and i may need a new pas cooling pipe as it looks a bit corroded, but its progress! Oh ans i had abit of cash left so i went and bought a raceland manifold and some heatwrap. It is easier putting this on with the engine out. Yep that was my excuse for buying it! With ultimate Dubs fast approaching, we had to step up the corrado restoration a little! Unfo
  13. I do like mystic blue and your car pulls it of brilliantly!
  14. Thought i would start my own thread on here, as i have been on the corrado forum mostly. I will put a few pics up and try and go step by step of what i have done over the past year! First up this is how i bought it! I then set about tidying it up and decided to replace the exhaust as it was past it! I replaced it with a jetex stainless cat back. pics I then had some trouble with it as i pushed it into daily service. I basicaly replaced every mechanical component at the front of the car! Then i started to do some cosmetics, so i fitted some red rear lights and some road lega
  15. He has got a 1947 rover 10! It isnt mint but he knows every scratch, every niggle and how the car comes apart blindfolded! I think that is priceless TBH! He bought it for the grand sum of £85 and has rebuilt it a few times, the first time being when he was 15 and couldnt even drive yet! heres a few pics of the old girl! It was the first car i was ever driven in as well. As my dad picked me up from the hospital after i was born.
  16. Yep im sure there is quicker stuff out there, but then again a jet is faster than a veyron!
  17. How many wheels do you have!!! Sweet corrado by the way.
  18. Very nice mate, looks sort of audi style with the red illumination in there!
  19. They have a soul, i swear it! My dad has had his car since he was 15, he is now 53. Swears he will never sell and i dont blame him!
  20. Yep that will definately keep it cool!
  21. Looking good! i used to have one of these, revvy little things!
