Big turbo there! :)

yep, check the wiring and maybe replace the sensor. Think there about £8-9 from VW. Its the one closes to the block on the oil filter housing.

nice example you have there, must be my eyes but the second image the car colour looks black. :bonk:

Great bunch of pics. Loving the Corrado.

I had a Valeo Alternator which came with my VR when i brought it, then it failed on me. I upgraded to a 120amp alt from a golf highline, so far so good. :thumb right:

oooo very nice :)

I have a spare thermostat housing Ring if you need it.

Rear Brace & ARB will be going on after a trip to the Ring. Don't trust myself with turbo grunt! Yeah i still have plans on fitting the MED's adjustable top mounts, again just want to see how viable this mod is with stock top mounts. Have to say steering from 12 to 8. & 12 to 4, feels great, light and responsive. Turning further gets a tad harder, but i didnt have this scenerio when it was totally un-tracked. Cheers for the tip regarding the hammerite, that must be the only head-ache when fitting solid top mounts, getting it to fit flush with the body. Cheers Dave, but definitely inspired via PhatVR6's work in his thread. Shame he's not on this forum anymore.

Cheers, after speaking to PhatVR6 awhile back on edition38 forum he mention he had abandoned the TT hubs and went back to VR ones, something regarding suspension fitting. So im glad the tracking is sorted now. Camber issues seem to be ok, as you mention. But the rear is seriously twitchy at the moment regarding the un-tracked tyres, doesn't help having turbo power either. I still have the S3 top mounts so i may experiment with them and see if they help with the camber. Will be lowering the car abit more to see how that works with everything, i guess its just trial and error til im happy with it. But considering my handling mods are only Hubs, coily's and 16's the car feel bloody great for now! still need a rear strut brace & rear anti-roll bar.

This should help http://the-corrado.net/wiki/index.php/Fuel_Filter_Change_-_VR6

Bit of an update. I took the car to get it tracked awhile back, may be a month or so and the tracking place said they couldnt do it, as there wasn't enough thread within the TRE to bring the car back to straight (suffering from 1/2inch of Toe In). So i started to bug my local GSF and VW dealerships to find a longer TRE (thread wise) to make this work, after not much luck looking at A3's, Seat Leon's, TT's, and mk4 GTI stuff (TRE's) they weren't any better. And in fact overall they were a longer Track Rod End (Physically) so that would mean even more Toe In. So what options did i have? Maybe fit a complete S3/R32 etc Steering Rack, of maybe see if the S3 PAS rods could be interchangeable with the VR Rack. Changing the Rods would be great as that would mean i could run proper S3/R32 TRE's, which are much bigger and stronger. The tracking place said they only needed an inch in total to get the tracking bang on, so i decided to crop the rods. So what i did is cut of 1cm off from each side. Standard Length 1cm Off Now this didnt take long at tall, and is much easier than doing a RACK swap! If you have a dremal and a cutting piece your laughing 6min job each side! Now what im liking about this Mod, its forcing you to run 16's which i personally think is the best compromise of handling and grip, but we wont start a debate! This is what happened when i tried 17's on! (of course you can run 15's as well, just not under 312's) 8 x 17 Momo GT2 (215/45/17) Closer look I couldnt turn the steering wheel, Modifying the front bumper and removing the inside plastics will help. But still :shrug: Right back to Tracking, took the car to the same place today and got it sorted. But i paid the price for driving the car when it wasnt tracked up. The Front tyres are shagged, you cant actually see how bad they are, but if you run your hand over the tyres you can feel it. So i changed the Rears to the Front for now. Theres a degree difference in camber between the left and right side (front), tracking is spot on now. The guy said the camber should be ok, "its not a huge deal tyres are always gona wear". But then again he would say that, hmmm what do you guys make of the results?

Some pics of the wishbone angle, need to drop the springs down by half an inch to an inch, then it will be just right. Drivers side Other side General view of how the wheel sits

Yeah the Golf GTI anniversary (180bhp) Hubs have the design of the TRE's going down the hubs, But the S3 / R32 have the TRE's going up the Hubs, to reduce bump steer.

Yeah really need like 300miles under my belt and then access the damage, but im glad the wear is equal to each other. I didnt really know how far to push the strut into the hub, trial and error i guess. Regarding what i did with the front coilover units, i would suggest people dont do what i did, just because it can be dangerous! There is a metal plate welded on the existing S3 strut and which the bolt goes through and you tighten the hub, this helps the strut not to jump out of the hub at very high speeds. i.e. my front coilovers wont pass the MOT, but i can just put the orginal ones back on. when due. Wishbone Angle is completely Flat! My coily's are set 3inch's from the bottom of the thread, and the wishbones are flat, i then screw them down further to just under 2 inchs from the bottom and the wishbones were still flat. (Remember this is when the car is on the ground) When i get time i will take a pic. No Im still using the VR Rack, should be able you give some feedback on that situation in a couple of days, (more like a week). But i wanted to see how this mod would run with the stock Top Mount and how bad it would ruin the tyres. I still have my Eccentric Adjustable Top Mounts (MED) just in case.

30mm spacers on the rear look just right for thoses wheels, what are they 7 x 15"? im running 7 x 16 on my rears ET 35 (think) anyway i was looking for 15-20mm spacers, maybe 30mm would suit after looking at yours.

Your not wrong there. Steering is much lighter!!! less bump steer too, but you can still feel the steering, even at high speeds. Ever thought your VR PAS rack was a tad sluggish? Well my steering is now completely transform, i can only imagine with 15's it would feel even quicker! but less steering feel at high speeds. I've been driving the car on stock top mounts for 100miles and over now, and i wanted to see what people thought off my tyre wear (inner edges)? There both equal, 1 isn't wearing more than the other. Bear in mind that camber and tracking have not been done, i.e. fitted and driven 100 miles or so. Left side Right side comments welcomed.

any updates on forum offers?

This looks so Lush! :notworthy:

Yes pretty good figures with a GT30/76r :notworthy:

Yeah sure just let me know, think i have four or five working condition injectors about somewhere.

24v power! 8)

i have a couple of injectors should you wish to try them.

Heck! What turbo is that? Mate that is a very good time! 4WD seems to be the way forward.

$499.95! Too Much for a Short shift Kit! try B&M short shift kit, cheaper.

Loving this picture!!
