CorradoVR6-Turbo

cos he loves his turbo. :wink:

car porn...this should be listed as nsfw :lol:

Looking good bud,but are you going to leave on the heavy chunck of pig iron on the subframe? :wink:

Cheers folks :salute: yes i do work fast or non stop all day long :lol: but once something is in my head i like to act on it as fast as possible. Shaun,i know its not true oem,but niether is the bonnet vents and bumper cut out for cooler :lol: but give me a chance and then make up your mind on the finished product mate :) Got half a day at work today :cheers: so went home and finished the front arch and started at the rear,the rears are much harder to do,the arch roller had no chance flaring the inner and outer pannels together,so drastic steps were made,cut the inner tub away from the outer quater pannel from behind the arch and set to work,once done the inner tub will be reshaped,welded and reseamed and painted. Still long way to o on the rear arch but desided to fit the wheels and get a feel for it.....so what do you think?

about time its on the road :lol: ,bet your happy as a pig in sh*t :tongue:

So you bought his car! the wheels suited [strike:lqb2w9g4]his[/strike:lqb2w9g4] yours very well mate 8) I had the same problem as you and its the two holes where the inner plastic arch used to be,this caused my arch to dip in at the front and the rear when trying to roll it,but the wing flexes to much when rolling and has no affect but in making it worse,the only way that works for me is a dolly and hamer,beat it out to shape,it takes time but works well. There is no filler in the arches at the mo just metal work 8) once near perfect it will get a light skim just to smooth it over.

Cheers Zak,cant wait untill they are on with new bolts,polished lips etc 8) Done a bit more tonight on the arch....yip still one :lol: ,desided to make an arch roller to help me out but made naff all differance on the front arch as it flexes to much but on the rears it will come in good use. Never done metal work like this before and found the tap it light method rubbish,the only real way is to give it a good wack! :norty: still have a few good hours left in it but it will look so well when done. So the arch is taking shape and the flat seam line is all but gone and its a smooth round arch all the way round and will give me lots of wheel clearance when the car is decked. Some randoms,flared against stock(note bumper line to wing)

Cheers Ben :D will look even better all done up including the bodywork and after work spent most of my time removing the interior and filling up the house with it :lol: Decided im making an arch roller as beating them with a hammer is to much like work :tongue: ,will be doing this tommorow. Few randoms.... H&R Adapter,real nice bit of kit imop. One split rim..... Not much room to work in there. Rear wheel fitted,5mm less on the spacer than the front,not to much to do to the rear arches for clearance.

what type of paddle clutch do you have? my brothers corrado and his mtm s3(daily driver) have paddle clutches and they are in no way harsh or juddery. its a sachs motorsport paddle clutch and a standard genuine pressure plate and they feel lovely and light and very smooth. thats the setup im going to be using in my corrado. the one in the s3 lasted 60,000 miles with 350bhp It was a Helix 4 puk clutch and Helix pressure plate,never again,got the helix organic to go in at some point. Also been told they work much better with duel mass flywheels,but solid flywheels 90% suffer juddering. :shrug: Cheers bud they are Weds (jap make) 16x8 three piece split rims.

yea but im going to give one wheel a quick coat,if no good then silver it is.

Welcome Wish :wave:

horrid wheels imop but overall very nice...red is best! 8)

looks like it just came from piant :lol:

Cheers Karl,im stripping one rim down tomorow to try some black on centre to get a feel for it. Shaun....you are just plain nuts mate,there is NOTHING wrong with your paint! :lol:

looks like an early tracker system.

Sounds lush! looks well at home in that bay ! 8)

Beating them Kip,im i nuts or what :cuckoo: :lol: Yes there is 312mm with 6pot wilwoods behing 16" rims!

Cheers Chris :D so im i 8)

I did mate,went today,fitted one side at his house to get the feel for them and to check brake clearance etc...loved them done the deal and when the arches are beaten out to suit it will work well. Also the rims are going black centres with polished outers,should work well with the red. 8)

yip....need stance! and they go over the 6 pots..just!

Thanks Ben and Kip :) special tools are dial gauge and stand but you can get them anywhere but the expensive one measures rolling resistance but a old style bar and rod style torque wrench will do the same job and are penny's on ebay and such. Ive said when i have some time i will do a write up but to be honest that will be some rime as ive started on bodywork...... :pale: So it has begun.....

x2 You knew this would happen mate :lol:

http://www.a2resource.com/electrical/CE2.html this any good mate?

Ive had groved and drilled,both are noisy...im going plain next for sure!
