Are you sure your runners are not damaged if the roof will not slide back but will tilt ? sounds suspicious if you are getting the same fault across 2 motors .

To be honest i couldnt tell you if they work , as my car was bought as a track project the plan is to remove the sunroof and weld the hole . The head lining is all stripped away and when i get to the garage today ill give the motor a feed see if it works . I have a garage in dewsbury feel free to drop by sometime you are welcome to come see if they are any use to you .

Might be able to help you out with that . I have no use for the ones from my car . Im reasonably local to you .

Unless you have bought a kit that is specific to a particular vehicle , you will have to make the mounting brackets yourself . Dont think it matters if you mount it vertically or horizontally .

Found em . You should like this then . It was the loudest thing on the track during the historic touring car race ...

Really i think i have some pics from last years gold cup at oulton park , that will make you squirm . See if i can find em ...

Yes the mk2 was gorgeous . The info said it was a replica but it had all the correct period parts . based on a rs1800 the bda lump sounded fantastic and it didn't do too bad keeping up with the super tourers from the 90,s .

Oh dont know if anyone is interested but hes a few pics from oulton park last sunday .

Well its been a busy couple months at work . In the meanwhile i have been collecting parts . A few ebay bargains , a few not so bargains and a couple proper mistakes have been had . So since my last post she has had fitted : Front mount intercooler . £31+P&P would have been rude not to have a go . Previous owner said it was removed from a corrado but i have my doubts as the thing looks brand new ,barring a few bent vanes . There is no oil residue inside whatso ever . It was a pig of a thing to fit though . It invvolved a fair bit of trimming . I think it looks ok though . Time will tell how effective it is . [ATTACH=CONFIG]78891[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]78892[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]78900[/ATTACH] How the pipework was laid out when i fitted the intercooler have had a change round since . [ATTACH=CONFIG]78896[/ATTACH] While i had the injectors out to upgrade to rallye greys , i noticed that the injector loom was fubar . So a new set of EV1 connectors courtesy of ebay and a new loom was built up . Need to think of a better way to protect the loom from the heat of the exhaust manifold .. possibly some wrap . [ATTACH=CONFIG]78897[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]78898[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]78899[/ATTACH] Other work that has been done but i didnt take any photos includes a schrick 268/272 camshaft , new followers . I took the charger down to matt@Ocd for a new mainshaft fitting ( due to a snapped bolt ) and he gave it a clean bill of health which is a relief . Im not going to have the time or the money to setup the stand alone ecu this year , so in the meantime i have got a chip made up via matt@ocd. I have got some sparco buckets waiting in the wings need to get the cage built first and im waiting on my mate to do that but hes crying off as hes just had the snip ( poor lad ). When i bought my rallye u-bend it came with a pile of other pipework and some boost return pipework so i was having a play around with it all yesterday to see what fits where and what pipes i might need to buy , looks like i might have got away with it . [ATTACH=CONFIG]78894[/ATTACH] I was so happy with thatresult i made a start on making the heat shielding around where the air filter will be. [ATTACH=CONFIG]78895[/ATTACH] Well now everything in the engine bay is mocked up i get to start stripping it all back out now ...

Could do with this gone £ 300 obo

Well got the dashboard out now so could finally see the extent of the hacked up wiring loom . So after removing the remnants of three alarms , freeview aerial , gps aerial and tons of other ICE related bumf we have a wiring loom that weighs probably less than the wiring that has been removed . The scary thing was that the majority of the stereo goodies and such were connected via scotchloks , it looked like a recipe for a fire . Its a bit tidier now before you should of seen the huge bundle of wiring that fell out from behind the dash into the footwell . [ATTACH=CONFIG]77988[/ATTACH] So after I got the car loom in a decent state . I made a start on assembling the loom for the ecu .. [ATTACH=CONFIG]77989[/ATTACH] Pretty much got the loom where i want it all then realised that i dont have a laptop with a serial port . So i have no way currently to talk to the ecu . This brought work to a grinding halt for today . Will have to get a serial-USB adapter . [ATTACH=CONFIG]77990[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]77991[/ATTACH] So i wrote a list of the items i still need to get . If anyone can help with any of these items drop me a PM plz . 2.5 - 3bar map sensor pref magneti marelli style . 36-1 triggerwheel or lupo crankshaft oilseal triggerwheel thing FMIC 16" wheels ? Boost return pipework Air box Bigger brakes Cant decide on new coilovers or new inserts for existing coilovers .

Im also on the lookout for some Bump and rebound adjustable coilovers and some bigger front brakes if anyone fancies doing a deal ..

Had another hour or 2 on the car tonight . Got the battery relocated to behind the passenger seat area . Found a battery tray repair panel that will weld in nicely there and will provide me with battery clamp mounting points . Someone at one point had , i assume a rather substantial stereo in this car if some of the wiring is anything to go by . Saved me some money though as i reused the heavy gauge wiring . Only cost me a new pair of battery terminals . Ill trim the wire to the final length after the cage is fitted and the battery tray altered and welded in . [ATTACH=CONFIG]77972[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]77973[/ATTACH] Oh and the pics i missed yesterday . [ATTACH=CONFIG]77970[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]77971[/ATTACH]

Cheers adam . Got bored at work today , its been a quiet few days . So had a dig around in all the spares on the shelves to see what i could reuse for the rado tatty racer project . Found an emerald K6 ecu i bought for a sigma engined project a few years ago that ended up being abandoned . A ford gen 2 coilpack , ford puma throttle body ( deal with a lot of fords ) , and some other bits and bats from old projects . [ATTACH=CONFIG]77931[/ATTACH] So after giving everything a coat of looking at and with a plan in mind i decided to set about fitting a throttle position switch to the throttle body . Firstly to butcher the ford throttle body all i want from this is the TPS and the spindle . [ATTACH=CONFIG]77932[/ATTACH] All it took then was a bit of tin bashing to knock up a bracket to hold the TPS in position over the now extended throttle spindle . Because of the direction that the switch operated i had to mount this on the bottom of the throttle body . [ATTACH=CONFIG]77933[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]77934[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]77935[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]77936[/ATTACH] Hmm i could of sworn i had taken a picture of it all painted finished and fitted . Not to worry i can post one another day if anyone is interested . It all works next time i am bored i think i will tackle making some brackets for the coil pack ..............

So for : Front doorcards Rear doorcards Front seats Rear seats Both lower kickplates Both lower dashboard sections Parcel shelf Parcel shelf supports Boot side carpets Cabin carpets Sill strips Rear seat belts All pillar trims Headlining Think thats all of it .. £400 maybe ?

Well to be fair i dont know what to ask considering the state of the drivers seat . Hence why i said sensible offers . It may be best if people PM'd there offers . Or if this is going to cause problems it may be best if mod just deletes this thread ? .

Right im parting with this lot to try and put some pennies in the kitty for the rest of my project Drivers seat : bolster padding is all ok there is wear damage to the outside bolster and a small tear . There is also damage to the seat base leather it is all repairable . passenger seat : bit of cracking here and there wants a lil filler and a re-dye . other than that its fine with little wear . Rear tubs : pretty mint to be honest very little wear drivers door card has a small tear down near the bottom repairable . all other trim parts are there the headlining is included although not in pics . The only parts not included in this lot is the dash and the sun-visors. I would advise anyone serious about this lot to come have a look at it and form your own opinion ( located in west yorks ) Make me a sensible offer .

Well i got myself a G60 which is perfect for my plans as the shell is totally solid , no welding repairs required . Which is a relief as its not my favourite job and theres enough to do with the seam welding and the cage .Im assuming someone may recognize this car as it has a corrado.net sticker in the rear window . I have been using it on the road for the last few weeks for giggles until the tax ran out now she has come into the shop to go on her " diet " . The mods that have already been done when i got it did include some FK coilovers that are pretty ruined as whoever fitted them never greased the bodies so they are very rusty and took me a day with a wire brush and the bottles to free off , ill replace them when finances allow . It has quite a nice 4 branch manifold that was pretty badly cracked due to the coilovers being set so low that the manifold was constantly hitting the anti roll bar , it gave the welder a good workout . A very nice ( if noisy ) Longlife stainless exhaust . The charger looks like it has had some work done to the exhaust . It has a bbm RSR kit fitted . Twin inlet filter kit , 68mm pulley and the other usual mods . This weeks cost has included : LC1 Wideband O2 sensor and gauge ( in preparation for standalone ecu ) New cambelt and tensioner dizzy cap rotor arm plug leads was gonna get plugs too but my wallet s$%t itself when i realised how much they were lol . Next weeks job There is a complete grey heated leather interior that has been removed from the car i will only be retaining the dashboard and sun visors , you will find this in the parts for sale thread :smug: Hoping to try and finance some of the rest of the build with it . [ATTACH=CONFIG]77847[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]77850[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]77848[/ATTACH]

As the title says looking for a Twin inlet airbox lid . Like the SWG one or similar .

Love the blower . You do realise thats off a 12 litre engine ( i thnik ) used to work for scania in leeds .
