aye, just dont do when you are in with your mates lol

is this out yet?

Progress report I am now in a position to have a look at fitting the syncro boot floor in position. I still have a bit of trimming of the chassis legs to do but I want to get an idea of what its like. you are right it wont fit straight in, I am waiting for me mate to come round and help me lift it into position.

nah they will just have to drive home in their underpants :lol:

p.s. what suspension are you using then Ben? and what springs have you specified?

lol ok then :-) I had to ask :wink: jetta syncro and rallye rear shocks are smaller then the 2wd counterparts though, I am sure of that. You are also right about the welds in the swinging arms too. I am thinking something along the lines of a slotted mounting point for the inner pivot of the swingarm, that would give us adjustment on negative camber. Other than that I reckon I may have just cut my boot floor up for nothing lol

heres one for ya then ben. In PVW or the golf a few months back there was a vr6 turbo syncro, that was running fairly low yet still retained decent camber. and it looked like a standard setup to me. Not that I am saying awesome have done something wrong on your car, but have you seen any other 4wd corrados with this porblem?

basically the top of the wheels point too far in like this / \ as the rear axle compresses it induces negative camber to aid turn in. Lowering the car has the same effect.

I'd better get looking into it then

p.s. got any pics of the motorsport rallye setup?

Fear not for I am at almost exactly the same point and I am packing a fully loaded digi camera :wink: As you can see I am a couple of hours behind phatty but I am getting there. Nearly set fire to my car this afternoon too, which was nice. Notice the difference between the early and late spec boot floors. and as phat says there is some serious internal reinforcement of those rear chassis legs. More pics to follow tomorrow

smart as a carrot - only it would be no good for someone as filthy as me. I would have it up the naffs in minutes :)

hmmm I have seen a few lowered rallyes and they dont appear to have such a big problem with camber? I doubt we will be able to do anything with the wishbones as they are cast items, so cutting an welding isnt really an option. We could posibly be able to modify the main carrier so the wisbones mount at a different angle. My mate Daz has just built a syncro 1.8T golf and its low but doesnt seem to have any camber problems?

I was also in contact with a company that sell offset bushes, but I havent pursued that avenue yet.

have we not.... I was even going to build my own rear axle form scratch, but decided against it. I am not running my car too low so it should bother me really, but its a future plan for me to make something adjustable. my plan was to build something using a set of front hubs. that way we could adjust camber toe in and alsorts. I will see how this standard setup works first. This is going to be a track car so I dont want it too low. My ideal ride height will be so that I can fit 2 fingers inbetween the top of the wheel and arches. I am not into bone shattering ground scraping antics :D

I am going to fit the rallye axle with the haldex diff grafted into it. The 4motion back axle is totally enormous (as you can see it leaning up against my kitchen wall.) I wouldnt go so far as to say its a 'bolt on conversion' Lee, but its not as difficult as you would initially think. Cutting the floor out is the big part. Better get on - more pics later 8)

really? At the moment I would have said it looks fit for the scrap yard! :D Should be looking more like it tomorrow when I unpick the old floor seams an get the jetta syncro floor in. Phats doing his at exactly the same time - syncro conversions....in syncro :D I'll be leaving now.....

[web]http://the-corrado.net/.archive/forum/album_personal.php?user_id=260[/web] Thought I would post some pics - Havent gave any progress report for a long time now. Engine runs - has done for a long time now, 4wd should be pretty much done and dusted this month, then a load of other little bits, paint, then it should be ready to rock :D Supercharger is going to be stage 2 I reckon, unless I do really well and have some spare time :wink:

Is that true? didnt know that

so is that the hart windmills or the Haswell ones? I have no pictures of my car complete at the moment - but give me a couple of months, I am working on it. Where abouts do you live then?

now what I want to know is how the hell do you know that by what car she drives :wink:

LOL wots cat C again? is that insurance speak for totally munched, or minor dent?

have you noticed its never anyone on here? lol

LOL kev - bikes certainly take a degree of self control, I found myself going faster and faster on my zzr, to the point where it was getting stupid, so I sold it bought something with a little less top end performance. On a side note - has anyone watched that series The Long Way Round? with Ewan magreggor and his mate going round the world on a couple of BMW GS1150 bikes? wow, looks amazing! and them bikes are something else.

looks like a cartoon car!
