its a sign mate....get some throttle bodies :shock:

Nice one big lad - where did you get your flywheel from in the end? When do you expect it to be back on the roads? and BTW you have made a canny effort at cleaning your garage up at some point these last few weeks eh?!

is that your arm of your leg???

Have you got a front cross member yet phat boy? also is there something wrong with your email?

I am not panicking :wink: Theres an expert going to help me with the chassis modification 8)

aye it would be nice to find an R32 lump to replace the measly 2.8 :D I am hoping for 280bhp with the vortech charger. Should be enough to scoot along at a fair pace.

The wheels are standard v6 4motion 16" jobbies. I think a more appropriate question would be when are you going to start the project lol :D The engine is in apart from a few bits and bobs, I have been delaying starting the project until my house extension is completed. I plan to get it on the roads by september.

that never worked LOL Try again

Just thought it was about time I posted some pics of my rather sorry looking project corrado. I will post pics of the supercharger soon :oops:

Mr Banana man - where abouts did you get your car painted? How much was it? and did the windows have to come out? thanks from a fellow banana owner :wink:

you should see what they do in the factory to brand new never been started just built cars. I used to worok at Nissan and the cars get so far down the line, then have the fluids put in them, a thimble full of petrol and they are fired up, dumped on a set of rollers and taken to max rpm in 4th gear..... I think engine running in procedures are a waste of time (for Nissans anyway)

LOL I suppose that would reduce the traffic on the roads a bit :lol: I havent tried insuring mine as of yet but I think I will be going TPFT with a 5000 mile limit. Hopefully It should keep it reasonable.

have you got the stage 1 or 2 kit on yours chris? That website says a stage 1 kit only gives a 20bhp increase? Surely that cant be right? Who would pay 2500 quid for 20bhp? There was a bloke called tom ingram had a supercharged vr which had a proven 274bhp. Dunno what stage he was running though...

I would imagine all the haldex diffs are the same - if anything has changed it will be the electronics controlling it. You be able to get a sport mode which transfers ALL power to the rear wheels - now that would be cool 8)

urgh that doesnt sound too nice! i was always led to believe it was a smooth experience of total grip :? More than likely, I seen it launch at york and it was pulling that hard off the mark it was twisting the car all over the place ! (that might have had something to do with the 'set up by eye tracking though :wink: ) Them diffs certainly allow more power to be put down.

nah You only need 4wd when the there isnt enough traction for the front wheels. any other time other than this and supplying power to the rears will just waste energy. The syncro and 4motion are part time 4wd for this very reason. You would need a phenominal amount of power to need 4wd in a straight line above 70mph to necessitate 4wd. It will come into play when pushing round corners at high speed where a FWD car will start to understeer, the 4wd car will transfer pwer to the rear wheels and allow you to put more power down. Of course there is also the added bonus of a proper wishbone setup on the 4wd cars too :wink:

when the haldex diff is turned off ie when its not needed the clutch disengages and it spins freely (I can turn it with one finger) so there is no friction there. Spinning the prop will take no power so that onlyleaves the transfer box (no reason for it to draw 30+bhp though) yes you have an extra bit of weight to haul about but I think that will be neglidgable in the grand scheme of things I thought the V6 4motion golf had a 0-60 of 6.1 seconds as it says in EVO mag?

stupid question but have you remembered to attach the earth strap on your ecu? I made that mistake and spent a whole evening bubbling in the corner thinking I had just blown up 80 quids worth of kit....

Well fingers crossed I am going to have the best of both worlds. The more advanced 2.8V6 motor with the 4wd haldex running gear all wedged into a corrado. and if you still think it will be slow I have a nice shiny vortech supercharger to bolt onto it 8) oh happy days..... slightly off topic but how can you get frictional losses of 30bhp+ on a 4wd setup when 90% of the time is it operating in 2wd mode? all it is doing then is rotating the prop nothing else....beats me.

Chris where did you get your supercharger from? I may be looking for one myself towards the end of this year to go my v^ 4motin Corrado creation. How much didit cost if you dont mind me asking?

BiggerBigBen - what the hell are you doing to that 1.8T lump to be aiming at 0-60 in 4 seconds????? Can I have some? :D My 6v 4 motion corado project is aiming for mid 5s I think. Although I might supprise myself. The standard v64motion does it in 6.1 or 6.4 or something, and how heavy are they?

wow pretty damn impressive - what were the other cars there? is that running a standard turbo then?

nope It was my crap laptop screen at work! Just checked it again from home and its back to normal :roll: oops

Alex, whats the bloke doing in the spray booth at the back? Reminds me of the last scene from The Blair Witch Project :shock:

Amy, Just had another look at your car, have you had it resprayed? That pictures you posted has your corrado looking a very similar colour to the peach that S3s come in? Or is it just my eyes?
