Thanks, I've not done as many track days in the last couple of years as I used to. My advice is learn to drive on the track first before modding your car to suit (too much) So many people try to build a race car before learning 'the racing line' and adapting their driving style to suit track driving. Spend time with an instructor rather than modding your car, they will get you driving round the track much quicker than if you spent £500 on modifications. I really recommend Circuit Days and Javelin who are both great track day organisations.

If you're looking for a 3.68fd I have one spare £50 + Post I've gone back to 3.3 on mine, just hope I don't regret it as Kev says, the 3.68fd is great on the road. My old shed is a lot lighter than a Corrado so it shouldn't matter too much. :sleeping:

Haven't updated this for ages - have had gearbox refreshed with new bearings and gone back to standard VR6 Final drive. With the aim to do a top speed run at Brunters, my old 3.68 wouldn't be 'enough' I've had the head off and fitted a spacer plate (8.5:1) and got the head back on, ex mani/ turbo bolted on, Unorthodox racing (as per Fidanza) 6lb flywheel back on and new Helix paddle clutch. Gearbox bolted back on. Once the engine is back in it'll be time to sort out the plumbing for turbo oil feed/drain, down-pipe fabrication and all the intake/boost pipe work - doesn't sound much does it? :salute: Thanks to Matt @ C2 for all help/advise/parts supply :grin: pics - http://www.flickr.com/photos/gvkmotorsport/

Gives me a date to aim for to get my mk2 VRT running :norty:

Cheers dude :grin:

What tyre size? I'm only running 195/50x15 Kumho V700 semi-slicks ,they are slightly taller than a regular 195/50 road tyre. Might have to put 17s on it for this.. :norty:

Kev, do you have any links to the Texas mile VRT? I heard about it, interested in seeing it.

It'll be no problem on the Autobahn en route to the 'ring, but I want to do it at Brunters with proper GPS timing. 2 miles runway, can get a run up coming round the hairpin on 3 or 2 wheels (lol) at about 80ish :grin: We took our 16vs there in 2005, brilliant day... 7000rpm in 5th with my 2.0 9A 16v 132mph GPS :D We made the cover of Golf+ :)

There's a Tigra that's done 181, fook knows whats in that :eek: Mark Gunn's Corrado has done 180.8 Plenty to go at :eek: :eek:

Kev, James Hodson (sub11 motorsport) has done 179.9 at Brunters. Mk2 1.8T IHI 360hp + Nitrous (not sure if nitrous used on run) He's running VR6 CCM gears in 4cyl case 205/50x15 Not sure what rpm. "Einspritdeuse 630ccm" :wink:

You and me both - we're taking it to Bruntingthorpe and attempting to do over 180mph within 2miles, when it's done :cuckoo:

'box stripping to fit 3.3 FD and diff bearings, they are slacker than a dick in a shirt sleeve :lol:

Boat Anchor in Dry dock :lol:

:nuts: :censored:

:shrug:

Car is stripped ready for it's 4yr re-fit. That's right, the boat anchor is in dry dock :grin:

Stealth racing yesterday for CGTI dyno shoot out. Car did 210hp 188lb/ft but it's got a serious breathing issue/oil leak as under load it's smoking out of the breather and poss leaking on manifold. Car was used during the day to demonstrate boat anchor power down the Banbury road and on the way back from pub at Fenny Com...pton, stopped for phone call and the cnuting fuel pump seized leaving me stranded. Adlai, (toyotec on cgti) came back to the rescue and tried to help me sort it on road side proving out fuel pump feed/ground to diagnose fault, pump seized so called the AA and got towed back home. That pump has sounded like a circular saw for about 8 years so finally given up the ghost :epicfail:

any boosted VR6s fancy coming to Stealth on Sunday? CGTI struggling to make numbers up...

Great laugh Thurs afternoon D+G :lol: Ta for biccies and coffee 'old man' :grin:

To say I'm looking fwd to getting it done would be an understatement :lol:

We'll see what happens :D James Hodson (sub11 motorsport) runs solid rear shocks to stop weight transfer on his mk2 on the strip :cuckoo: http://www.sub11motorsport.com/

Kev, I have a Dyno Dynamics RR fairly local and ran the car on it just before Christmas - 205hp http://www.ajecracing.co.uk/racing/road.php Will go back there when the blower is on to see the gains.. :grin:
