VR6Pete 1,456 Posted September 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 Quick update. Car is back together now and runs nicely. Replaced bonnet cable yesterday as it has seen better days. Horrible job on the Corrado and almost impossible to get right first time. As you can see I took precautions. After 3rd go it released lovely Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,456 Posted September 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 Prep for GTI festival continues. Had an annoying "clink" that used to happen when breaking hard after being on the loud peddle. While I was sorting my exhaust I noticed this sleeve sliding in the long centre pipe Unfortunately the adapter I purchased to connect my 2.5" exhaust to my 2.25" decat pipe didn't fit so have ordered another type. Hopefully will get it all bolted up. While I was at it, ordered new gaskets and noticed one of the bolts from the 6 branch protrudes slightly so will need file that down slightly so it's flush with the gasket. Note to self - its bloody loud when no exhaust it connected to the 6 branch Will do the rocker cover this week too. Now have a plastic cover & associated bolts. Just ordered a new gasket from carparts4less. Next on the list is dreaded axel bushes and sun roof! Those can wait until after GTI festival. Onwards and upwards. Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,456 Posted September 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2016 Replaced alloy rocker cover with plastic item now. Also fitted adaptor to finally fit my decat pipe properly (exhaust is 2.5" and de-cat is 2.25") hopefully will stop it blowing on the joint once and for all. boab3 1 Link to post Share on other sites
