Max Posted August 15, 2003 Report Share Posted August 15, 2003 If your gonna drop a new engine in stick with smaller wheels and go for speed and handling. Otherwise, 17's are the way forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89Rallye Posted August 17, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2003 If your gonna drop a new engine in stick with smaller wheels and go for speed and handling. Otherwise, 17's are the way forward.I agree, plus I think the Lupo will go the same way the Mk1 Golf did a few years back. Everybody had to have big wheels 17's, 18's etcThen once that got overdone as we all know its now back to small euro wheels and small bumpers which were once sniggered at.Well I am going to stay years ahead of the pack by sticking to my small wheels, so I am out of fashion at the moment it will soon get around to me style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

89Rallye Posted August 26, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2003 Well here she is, where getting there. border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" />The front end is only trial fitted, and as the paint reacted on the grille this also needs painting again. Just got to find a headlight and paint the rear quarter, and `re-assemble` it all properly now. Oh and if your wondering the lower spoiler has just been painted which is why its missing.

89Rallye Posted August 28, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2003 Thanks Guys, will keep the photos coming.Looks like the little reverse problem on the gearbox has returned :devil: which is something else now to sort out.I did want the car together by the weekend but what with the current weather and all that doesnt look possible.Also going to fixing that rather large hole in the glove box, any suggestions? (appart from replace the dash £700+ secondhand!) border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" />Would like to keep the CD changer in there or maybe go all out and do the screen thing, not sure yet. Watch this space.How much for the 17's then??Open to offers mate, the wheels are currently on my Corrado which is due to be broken sometime in the next 3 weeks, although I have been saying this for months style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blush:" border="0" alt="blush.gif" /> but this time its really gotta go!So they wont be available till I have stripped the car, really good tyres on them and a few scratches (nothing too deep). if I dont get any decent offers its all going on Ebay, complete G60 engine anyone??

twisty b-road Posted August 28, 2003 Report Share Posted August 28, 2003 Sorry if you've told me this before but how come the Corrado's being broken?That where the G60 engine's from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigz™ Posted August 28, 2003 Report Share Posted August 28, 2003 QUOTE(89Rallye)maybe go all out and do the screen thingGo for the auto changer in dash, then fit a motorised screen where head unit is and put head unit where the tray is..

89Rallye Posted August 28, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2003 The Corrado is simply worth more inbits than it is complete, the engine is absolutley mint but the rest of the shell is falling apart. Oh and its a left hooker so no one wants it anyway.No the G60 engine out of the Raddo is now going up for sale as I am going to use the G60 engine out of my Rallye for the Lupo style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> Oh and yep you guessed theres something else planned for the Rallye :baa: Dont really want the CD changer in the dash, as its going to be right on show. I could put a cover on it but this isnt what I have planned as whats built is going to be colour coded to the car :thumbs: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
