Time to introduce myself!!!

[Sr. Karmann]

What is this then???







You don't remember I had this setup? I currently have 3 looks for the front (according to mood )
1) Rieger one piece grille with spoiler
2) VR 3-bar badgeless grill
3) SpoonFedTuning G60 7-slat badgeless grill

#1 & #2 goes with: a) either colour-coded Kamei spoiler or b) hood bra

you need some spacers and visit dr.low

[RedYellowWhite]

you need some spacers and visit dr.low

You have his number?

I have 10mm spacers up front (et15) but don't forget that the fenders are also pulled
It's the 7,5'' to blame, but that should be "fixed" with the new wheels

P-chop us-spec amber sidemarkers on the 1st pic please, thanks

[crisvr6]

[RedYellowWhite]

Love it!!! Thanks man

[RedYellowWhite]

Finally installed the following parts I had for a long time (Keith from DubNutz is the man btw ):
-TT/R32 control arm bushings
-tie-rod ends
-ball joints






I never thought I'd distrub the alignment while replacing those parts but somehow it did, so I think I urgently need an alignment now (steering wheel is shaking which is weird cause it didn't do it before )


Upgraded my previously 16v 256mm front brakes to 280mm G60 ones (thanks Chad ) Brembo vented rotors, Mintex pads - still need s/s braided brake lines tho):








...and black p/s reservoir:



That's all for now

[xtremevdub]

Did you replace the inner tie rods??
The will cause some shaking when they are worn out. Easy to check. Lift a side of the car and try moving the tire side to side. If you feel any play, they side that moves is done. Night mare and a half to change.
Other than that, changing the outer tie rod ends could throw off the alignment, but it won't cause any shaking.
Do you have hubcentric wheels??? If not, make sure you put them in there straight.

Negative

That's what I thought too...

I'm thinking of doing this and taping off an area where the level marks are so it is still functional...

Good idea, might do this aswell


Also, forgot to mention that my car was making (again) a "squeeling" sound and under inspection I found out that the belts had developed small cracks. So I replaced the accessories belt and the power steering belt and that fixed it.
This was caused by the fact that car was sitting for 4 months

And you should definitely get an alignment after all that suspension work

easy check, just pop the top

I painted mine in its entirety and make sure to check the fluid levels regularly, MKIV was black plastic

Feels like a new car after the latest steering/suspension work done

Re-checked the timing today

My buddys MK2 G60 makes my Corrado feel like a 1.4L

And there's something weird going on with my front foglights - they don't work

[g60301]

Just ordered the r32 bushings, tie rod end and ball joints from Keith today. Hopefully my car will feel better upfront

IIRC, they have fuses

No sh!t? .........................

[RedYellowWhite]

replaced fog lights fuse (position 10 - 15amp fuse) and as soon as I turn the foglight switch on, its blowing it so there's a short somewhere...

Bulbs are ok, checked wiring and it appears to be good, lenses not cracked so I doubt water could find its way inside there, no moisture...

Maybe its the switch itself?

Looks like I'll have to start checking things with the multimeter - I hate wiring

Check your fog light harness in your bumper, make sure it's not pinch or rubbing against the chasssis or near the drive belts too.

Tell me about it! My whole driver side is shorted somewhere, tail light (but not the brake light) my fog light, city light, side marker don't work. Only the brake and the headlight. Post if you get to the bottom of it. And where you found the short. ( my front fog light is cracked )

Thanks for the suggestion, will do

Next weekends task

[g60301]

Were your bushings a pain in the a$$ to get in? I'm a little worried about the tie rod ends. I hear they get seized a lot. This shouldn't take long to do but if the tie rods are seized could turn into longer of a time.

Regarding the bushings, my buddy who has a hydr.press did them and he told me they gave him a hard time, lol The tie-rod ends were easy to install, they weren't seized up or anything

Thats because your buddy doesnt know that you need corrado parts to install corrado parts.

The following took me a couple of minutes.. easiest thing I ever did...
















Click on that Video ^^^^^^

WIN!!!

Technically those bushings aren't corrado parts since they are R32/TT bushings, no?

[JamesS]

Still working on those sidemarkers for you. Second trip to the junkyard but still no dice.

[xtremevdub]

Nick, you needed side markers??? I may have some spares.
