Who stocks the Pagid RS in the UK now, the supplier I used doesn't have them listed anymore.

I've used them too they are fantastic, but was gutted when a front hub nut came loose at Silverstone, wearing them to a wedge, only fit for the bin. :censored: Not even 2 trackdays. :pale:

Good lad! :D

Cheers James, don't sell the Corrado... please! :nono:

Money no object the Pagid RS race pads are THE best I've ever used ( yellow rs-29) But so they should be at £150-200 a set :cuckoo:

Clean it, measure the resistance across the terminals (should be able to find what it should be) :shrug: Convert to 0BD II :clap:

Cool, will have a look :grin: You been on Northloop? They offer track days with Circuit days at reduced rates for members http://www.northloop.co.uk

Use Facebook? I've started a group "GVKmotorsport" with petrolhead content, which all users can add too. Request to join, mention the-corrado.net and I'll add you, unless you appear to be a weirdo, serial killer or rapist.

Yes they are, as I said earlier in the thread..... ring Bob Sketchley @ EBC :grin:

You do get all sorts, especially at the 'ring.... the German cars (Golfs,E30/E36 BMWs etc. are very popular out there)

Link to a build thread then perhaps? :grin:

Cheers, what's the spec of your mk2? First outing this year is @ Rockingham in March. :grin:

google bob sketchley, find his number ring him... yellow stuff ftw!

Really enjoyed compiling this thread, it's made me realize some good times have been had, having perfectly legal fun, driving cars.... hard! Await a flaming but I read on here and SO many other forums about folk spending THOUSANDS on their cars and the only thing of note they do is "overtake an M3 on the Axx, or "See the look on an Evo drivers face" :wave:

Totally opposite was a trip in this thing in 2006, stripped mk1 2.0 16v with plexiglass windows, no trim at all.... earplugs required :nuts: My 2nd lap driving his mk1 [youtube:1lukx5ei]Fa8mEtMo_VQ[/youtube:1lukx5ei] Ian doing an 8:51 [youtube:1lukx5ei]COdjeiww0I0[/youtube:1lukx5ei] Owner emigrated to Aus sadly, but he did an 8:51 in the mk1, going very very well.

Nige has an annual pass and has the whole summer holidays there, he camps with his family :cuckoo: My laps have been from sporadic visits since year 2000, we've taken the girlfriend' old mk4 R32 over a couple of times,which was a bit of luxury (air con,music etc) after the mk2 :lol:

Remember Francois Delocour driving the 306 maxi kit car? A bit like that :grin: I prefer the dished one, it's a bit of a reach for the stalks though :lol:

Thanks everyone for the comments. Tom, the mk2 weighs 1135kg with me in it. Much lighter than a 'rado.

Only lap I've timed was 9:06 with the VR6, unfortunately we got held up from Karrusell to Mini-Karrusell by an MV Agusta bike. Pretty confident the car could do 8:35, as my friend Nigel (light blue mk2 in the Silverstone vid) has done that in his mk2. http://www.vimeo.com/6446868 8:33 BTG Nigel's mk2 = mk2 16v ABF running K-jet, 4.2 FD Peloquin diff, Spax coil overs, Toyo R888 or Kumho V70A or Dunlop Direzza R tyres (he gets through a lot of tyres) He's done over 700 laps, that's where his speed comes from...I have done circa. 250lap of the 'ring and learn more and more each time I go. :grin: Edit : Nigel has done 940 laps to be exact..

Cheers...Currently H&R VR6 Corrado fitment coil overs 400lb front springs 280lb rear Has had FKs and Koni T/A in the past.

Been around Dubs since about '95 on and off and had my current mk2 since 2002. It was bought as a stock 16v and has evolved over the years into a track day car but still road-useable...ish :lol: Gary http://mk2vr6.com/board/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=1602 If you're looking for 'stance' 'air' or a leather clad engine bay..... you've clicked the wrong thread!

Anyone used this German supplier of VR6 Turbo parts? http://www.turbo-parts.de/ Or on eBay http://stores.shop.ebay.co.uk/turbo-par ... QQ_armrsZ1

Yep, cable tie/ mole grips to ensure load valve in full load position. Also worth mentioning about the piston size in your 4 pots, if the size isn't matched to MC size, you will get the long pedal no matter how many times you bleed it. Have you tried clamping rear brakes to see if pedal improves? (I realize this is difficult if non-standard hoses are used) Also, if the spring tension on the load valve is adjustable as per Golf mk2, pedal feel can be improved with adjustment.
