still not sure what your point is? are you saying Seats are faster than VWs? or more specifically tuned ibizas are better than 4motion golfs? or seat drivers are better than VW drivers? or r32 owners cant drive? I am confused btw is this Julian I am talking to here?

I am really supprised that the purple ibiza only had 195bhp mind... the enormous intercooler on show and the way it was accelerating away from almost everything else on the straights made me think it would have a bit more. Didnt look any slower in a straight line than the red one to be honest. Just looking I would have said it had to be pushing 250 - 270bhp. I see what you mean, and I have to say I might have wrote it a little different (lol) but, I have to say that pauls bad manouevre was bourne out of frustration from Si's bad form. As you say two wrongs do not make a right, but what would you do in that situation? knowing that the car that is about to nip past you at the end of the straight is going to hold you up for the rest of the lap? That would be a fair comment had the rules not stated that you could only overtake on the straights...correct me if I am wrong on that one cos I am not 100 percent sure, but you have stated this very fact a couple of posts previously...

wow, check out mr angry. You dont have to state that a 200bhp seat ibiza is going to comfortably outdrag 200bhp lardarsed mk4 in a straight line. Not really much of an achievement is it. I didnt realise there was such rivalry between VW and Seat owners? I dont understand the bitterness, I was there too, and watched all these events, and it was clear the lad in the ibiza was really enjoying himself, which is the point of track days is it not? As for track etiquette, as far as I am concerned if I am holding someone up over the course of a lap I would feel obliged to pull over and let him past regardless of whether I was faster on the straights or not. Its not really fair to spoil someone elses enjoyment by making them queue up behind you. In fact it would be a challenge to let them past and try to hang onto the back of them. Good day though, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

cool pictures! 8) point to note is that is actually the 'pad' side of the brake pad on show :shock:

sorry for the 'canny bag O tuda' commentry, I forgot it had sound too!

Just to back up what Mr H says. I was utterly astounded by the lateral G forces that car could generate at such high speed, and not even squeak a tyre. The first time we went round that top section of the track I nearly cacked my pants on the last corner! It looked like a sharp 90 degree right hander, and he had his foot to the floor for the last 4 corners, up to 110 ish, and the mental get shifted up to the next gear! the car just tucked its nose in and hammered round. Imense! 300 times better than any fairground ride!

well played that man. All you need now is sat nav ;) lol

Sorry forgot to reply to this one! I am currently trying to sort out some airconditioning pipes before I put the front of the car back on. I am also looking for a vdo temp sender, the dealers are demanding I go in and pay up front, but its 10 bastard miles away. :mad: Bloody annoying it is.

wow. Thats launching ability! Aye harra, you want my 4wd now dont you ;)

drivers wing looks strangely dull :lol: In All seriousness, top car, and a bit of a weapon on the roads!

lets be fair, corrado estate and the word 'wrong' go hand in hand

it looks like a honda?

look at the track of his front wheels! interesting mods to the front too!

seats arent worth much I am afraid, I sold a set of vr6 front and rear dark coloured seats for somewhere in the region of 60 quid IIRC

I dont actually know of a bike that revs to 20 grand kev

lets be fair though, what the hell would you do with it? I defy anyone on here to say they would be happy to drive that mobile game of Buckaroo around and not feel like a complete tit. Plus up north here the chances are someone will be so appreciative of the car they would fill those saddle bags full of sh1t.

just been speaking some techy mates, and they reckon that the mk4 rev counter signal is 100% compatible with the corrado clocks, and has been done on numerous other conversions. Plus my rev counter behaved fine on the 2.8 24v when it was running. I am with Jay on this one

you sure the engine is back in? I just cant see it :lol: mind you the whole car appears to be entering some sort of warp drive thing

How dare you! lol Ta mate Ta, Hes called bracken, I will be putting up a page about him, and his partner in crime holly too. While I am on about the dogs and websites and stuff, mayaswell stick a shameless plug on here. Heres another site I have done for the girlfriends new business: http://www.icpetproducts.co.uk Any advice on that one would also be well recieved, also if anyone fancies sticking an order in that wouldnt go amiss too ;) lol :lol: We have good contacts through out the pet trade so if you are looking for something in particular let me know and I will do my best to come up with the goods. Cheers

they are, cos its only one page at the moment!

aye good point! ta

http://www.corrado4motion.co.uk/ Didnt want to clog up big big super big Neils thread so I have started my own up. Pulled my stuff out. lol aye, I also discovered that too. I have messed about with alternatives, I tried to darken down the background behind the text to little effect. I will sort it when I get time. Cheers mate, LOL @ Blogroll :lol: I might add a couple of pages to it tonight. p.s. Stan if you want to put some input to the site on your motor you are welcome to mate ;-)

sorry to jump on your thread, but I decided to chuck myself a website for all to read my inane ramblings. Only one page at the moment but here this is where its going to be: http://www.corrado4motion.co.uk any input would be nice.

Stan you are assuming that I do more than 20 minutes a week on my car... I havent looked at a single thing on it mate. But it seems the mpg signal is indeed incompatible. Not noticed anything on the rev counter, how and when does it manifest itself?

Dont tell me you are getting chrome seatbelts?! Wont they be a bit stiff and chaffing? :lol:
