    Anyone got a guide or any tips on removal of the discs on the rear? I ant find any grub screws or anything holding them on? I've read somewhere there is bearings holding them on?? Anyone shed any light on this??

    Not adjusted for height yet, just buttoned up for now.. Discs have been refurbished, just need to change the bottom ball joints and track rods.. Then that's it pretty much brand new again...

    I may be tempted to go light gold with the polished dish.. As daveyboy says they looked really well against my mk2 being oak green, to be fair dragon green isn't too far away..

    Made some serious progress with the raddo Over the last couple of weeks. Shocker legs all out, new top mounts put in and brand new coilovers.. Rears have been fitted and fronts are out! Job for this weekend. Rebuilt all the calipers with new seals and Pistons and a fresh coat of paint.. Carriers have all been wire wheeled and cleaned ready for paint shortly. Front discs have been wire wheeled aswell to clean them up, rears will be removed and get the same treatment this weekend.. Ended up picking up a set of genuine BBS RX2's today which have just been split, powder coated and rebuilt.. All

    Have for a sale a genuine set of VW speedlines from a Corrado VR6.. They are a set of 5 genuine wheels, they do have some kerbing on 4 of them and the 5th is quite badly kerbed, they have all the genuine centre caps and don't look like they have been repaired since new.. They will benefit from a refurb to look perfect.. Tyres are trash and are completely done.. They are 15" et43 6.5J Sensible offers only please and will post out with city link next day for roughly £30.. Cash on collection otherwise PayPal only, don't do bank transfers like con men.. Then all party's are protected..

    Welcome to the club bud, ask away with your questions!! I'm sure the boffins on here will know the answers to them! Would love to see some pics of your mk3! Genuine low milers are hard to come by these days [emoji108]

    Yeah mate, I had them on my mk2 and I really did like them, genuine bbs are hideous amounts of money and at the moment I just don't have them funds.. To be honest there are others I quite like.. Here are a few that are ticking the boxes for me

    Well... So I'm a little further forward with these.. Had a spare half an hour and thought I would go out in the shed and see if I could work it out! Guess what I did!! Chuffed with them how they are now.. Stripped down, re painted, new seals and new Pistons along with new bleed nipples.. Just gonna clean up my discs and use the original pads on the front as they were pretty much new anyway and then replace the rears for new.. The sake of £25 I've got 4 completely refurbished calipers happy days

    Appreciate that input bud, I'm running on coilovers when I finally get them fitted!! So I should be able to adjust them so they don't rub.. I'm just gonna go 8.5j all round and with any luck I shouldn't get any issues.. I was talking to daveyboy and he says with them type of bbs reps he had to put spacers on the fronts to clear the calipers so that looks like I'm gonna have to buy some maybe 15mm..
  16. jaks14
    To be honest mate I was wanting to run 8.5j all round... Is the higher the et better? Or lower the number better? It boggles my mind et like.. Ha! What size wheels etc are you running on the mk3 mate?
  17. jaks14
    Cheers man, I will check that out before buying! Problem being I'm buying without tyres so al have to do a little more research into what tyres would go on best!!

    Guys I know we get discount from tps but I got a cracking deals on the bolts I've just purchased! I called TPS for the 2x strut bolts and nuts (strut to hub) for my corrado (golfs are the same) .. Also for the bolt and nut that goes through the rear leg bushe and into the chassis leg.. I ended up getting a price for roughly £3.55 per bolt and £2.40 per nut!! Bearing in mind I needed 6 of each!! £36 for 6 nuts and bolts!! I looked online and then remembered there was a bolts and fasteners place opposite TPS Newcastle, gave them a call and he said to pop through with the original bol

    Can anyone give me a little guidance please on wheel fitment.. I've been looking and looking for the right wheels that I want to suit my raddo and come to the point where I have found the ones I want.. Can anyone give me guidance on clearance etc, I'm in the process of fitting coilovers so height isn't going to be an issue as I will set it at the height I want to fit correctly.. What et should I be looking at? I've found fitment guides that say between 25-35.. I'm wanting to go with a decent dish so at least 8/9j .. Any input and info would be greatly appreciated..

    Progress today, calipers all wire wheeled down with my grinder. Taped up and put large bolts in brake hose holes and a fresh coat of silver paint.. I have to admit I think they look 100 times better.. Well worth the job, now I have a new seal and piston kit for the front.. Let's see how much of a nightmare getting the new Pistons in is going to be. Anyone got any tips on an easy way? Either put the seal in first then the Pistons or piston then the seal on??
  23. jaks14
    Hey cheers man for the input, I've been looking into it and like you say it's probably worth it in the end by giving such a tighter ride and quality.. I think I may shop around and see what sorts of deals I can get further down the road once I have my corrado up and running.. [emoji108]

    In the process of stripping and rebuilding my front and rear calipers from my raddo vr6. Having a few issues finding the correct bleed nipples to replace the originals.. (Don't know the size and how to measure the originals) Also does anyone else have any trick ways of getting the new seals in and also keeping them from getting into this state again? Will be uploading pictures as I go.. I have the calipers all currently off the car and have begun stripping them down. Both Pistons were fairly worn and rusty on the fronts so I have ordered new repair kits £33 for the pair.. Any advice w
