You can't compair a car with the PAS disconnected to a car with a manual rack, the 1 with PAS disconnected is by far heavier dan 1 with a manaul rack. My corrado track car has a manual rack out of a mk2 and is not that heavy, and it has 17" with 205 tyres.

Ben a while since i last updated so here we go, car is nearly there, just have to finish some small things. Car was mapped in november 255bhp @ 8,620 and 166ftlb @ 6,550 very pleased with the figures. Susppension arrived and has ben fitted, full race spec INTRAX with extras includin custom solid rear top mounts Ill let the pics do the talking

Its far from road legal. Things are far more stricter over here in Ireland as regards to that. Hard to get away with a bolt in show cage never mind a full weld in.

I got her weighted on sat. Very happy with the figures 899kgs with half tank on petrol, and still has standard bonnet (16kgs)

Few more updates Exhaust all done with manifold heat wrapped Dash all finished up along with a new Tacho New Sparco Corsa seat fitted

Few more updates. Oil sensor and baffle installed in sump New inlet manifold with longer runners Got dash finished up apart from one guage i'm waiting for along with a new tacho. Previous one woz piece of crap Also fitted USB connector on dash face for connecting up laptop for mapping etc Just fitted one latch on boot And a few more pics

Bit more progress, some pics for yew

@ yeti I bought the shell with the cage fitted so i don't know mate, sorry

Its mainly for trackdays but might do TimeAttack but not sure yet. I intend to do 1 or 2 trackdays over your side of the water at sum stage aswell as the Ring. I'll have a fair idea of the weight when i get her weighed before i order the Competion KW's.

Fitted the boot wit spoiler and lights Spoiler fixed in this position as no need for it to be electric anymore (less weight)

Driveshafts are measured up and are bein made up this wk aswell as the rad. Got a good jump on the wiring Got the fuel system all plumbed up and finished Started her up for the first time, turned kill switch and ignition switch. Fuel pump primed, crossed my fingers and pushed the start button :clap: started first time :grin: its very loud as hav no down pipe and exhaust as yet.

Engine in All subframes, bumper brackets etc etc sandblasted and painted Steering colum, pedalbox and gearshifter all in Threw on the wing, bumper and wheel to see how it sat. am pleased :-)

Long overdue update Sum of the parts G] Back from paint ms/i207/vwgolfmk1/Corrado%20Track%20Car/S7300190Small.jpg[/img]

Yep rack and frame both fit. Am tinkin of KW 3's or H&R Cup kit, not 100% yet tho. Have Vibretech bushes fitted to axle and wisbones now.. Prob go for sum nice Willwood or AP 4 or 6 pots, not gettin to big of discs cause car should be less than 1000kgs no need to over kill.. Have to get custom driveshafts made up aswell as engine mounts.. Yep the cage is Custom Cages A mate has a set of the new 17" lightweight OZ's was gonna paint them black if i paint the car white. Can't deside whether to paint it white or sumting else now? Any1 any thoughts???

Here is a link to my corrado track project for any1 that in interested http://vagdrivers.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=8432

Would be interested in a bonnet for the track car and possible more bits..

If you fit a set of cams aswell as the carbs you should see a nice difference. I'm will running my 9a on ITB's with 285degree cams plus fully gas flowed head, should be up in the region of 190, 200 bhp.

Cheers for the info mate.

I'm building a Corrado Track Car and i can't deside what brakes to run. Ill proberbly be using 5stud hubs pressed into the G60 hub carrier. I can run up to 17" wheels. Will be using a Pedal Box aswell and the car should be around 1000kgs or less when built. Any1 any suggestions?
