Car looks stunning, so jealous of those seats! Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

How much fuzzer? Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

As far as I'm aware it shouldn't make a difference if it's g60 or vr6 hubs as the original calipers are the same. What's the fitment problem? If they are 312mm discs you'll have to run a 6mm spacer on the carrier as the mk4 discs are a different offset Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Solution to all the bonnet cable woes... £0.40!

They snap, and are obsolete. Mine lasted 5 years, but once it's gone it's gone and then you can't open bonnet! Managed to bodge mine with a speaker speed clip but it's not a nice fix Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk -

I'll have a few, bloody retchid things. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk -
Oooh taking it down the strip, hopefully I'll be taking mine to bugjam next month and getting a few runs in, you've got a fair few more ponies under the bonnet but I'd be highly interested to see how the 24v compares.

As said on Facebook, cracking figures! Couple of little tweaks and you'll be over the 300bhp figure! Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Little update, mk1 one on right... Mk2 on left. Some parts just arrived so going to connect it up to corrado and try get dash running now! Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Agreed, I've spent countless hours, blood, sweat and tears to get mine to how it is but I've been there with a rusty, smokey, old rado and everyone is still so friendly. Corrado forum is a way of life not a club! Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Say what!!!?? :( The bowl would have made an awesome display, such a shame. I'll be around friday and will help if I can, still undecided whether to take the day off or come after work

Yea, had it in for about a year and a half. It bogs down a bit at 2k (I don't have a tacho yet as I'm working on that, but I estimate it's about that) under certain circumstances then shoots off, I need to have a proper look over it and I think the chains need doing. Your on an audi engine aren't you? I've got the A3 in mine Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

I used the original yellow and black sensor as that is corrado (stage 3 fan and dash/aux water sensor) and replaced the blue sensor with, and I'm having a guess here, a grey sensor? might be black as you say. The yellow sensor can be replaced by a 2 pin sensor if you let the 24v ECU deal with the aux water pump, I decided to let the corrado fan controller handle it as its been doing a grand job up to now!

That spoiler looks awesome! might have to stick it on the 'to do list'. Looking fantastic though, have you had the car mapped yet? something I've been wanting to do but I have a bit of a lump/bog down lower down the revs I wanted to try investigate before getting it mapped.

Aaron's VR6 - is now R32'd - that sweet, sweet noise! (Page 20)

Looks a very neat install! I've got water pipes absolutely friggin everywhere! Coming along nicely though, exciting times! I do have the flanges drawn up in cad if you need them as I got some lasered. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk -
I gave it a watch, or attempted to give it a watch but hated it. Chris and Matt just did not work together, and straight from the off Chris Evans was running around like an idiot trying too hard. Just seems like they tried far too hard to start from where clarkson left off rather than starting it their own way. Did make me chuckle how Evans was trying to get the viper to drift but clearly couldn't, whilst sabine was on half throttle all the way through.

Haha I'm just watching it as well, cracking film! It also appears that people reading this thread from the start may think I'm a saddo that spends my life watching red 2 if they don't check the date of posts Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Few photos my mate took from All Types, absolutely love its new look. Will hopefully be putting the brocks up for sale soon to fund some brakes/lsd/turbo goodies! Definitely need to get rid of some bits, 4 sets of wheels is a bit OTT!
-
Ahh so that was you at all types, had a look around it and looked very tidy. Mine was the red corrado up near the food stalls. Didn't realise they were real lm's, you rarely see them these days, looks lovely! Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Haha! I think every person I know has done the conversion has fallen foul of that one! Even me. Nice easy fix though! Is it startup day today then? Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk -
Pm vr6pete, looks like he might have the exact combo you want for sale soon Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Lol, Yea neither do I and that's the problem! Yea wheels fit awesome, big thanks for a bargain set of adapters Phil! They fit much better than I expected. The rears are 9.5" and seem to sit further in than my 9" brocks. I haven't driven it since last year so certainly surprised me with how fast it is! Hoping to get a proper downpipe sorted and maybe a remap this year to squeeze a bit of power out of it. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

You might be thinking of the bonrath pipe, I think bmc comes with an attachment to the maf but not anything for other side of maf. Think the bonrath pipes are quite hard to come buy, its only a bit of ally pipe though! Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Can't help you with that unfortunately, mine doesn't have it. Sent you pic of vac pipes, just taking some more! Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk -

Get rid of 1 valve, they are both the same so doesnt matter which. I did offside so I can replace t piece with elbow. Out of the valve then goes straight to other t-piece, one goes to the vacuum box, other side goes to back of inlet. Top of the valve goes to variable inlet valve. Not sure if I've sent you this photo yet, just only shows it if you zoom in. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk -
First run of the year and I drove nearly 3 hours across the country to All Types in North Wales, had 1 stop on the way there with the water light coming on, think it might just have been an airlock as it ran without a fault rest of the way and all the way back. Cracking weather apart from the night which was bloody freezing! Was pretty chuffed with the car, got a fair bit of attention and spoke to a couple of corrado guys. Was some nice corrados around! Oh and my favourite part, pictures of new wheels, 16" Artec S1's! Been after a set for years! Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
