STU175

Looking good odub when do you plan to get the engine in?

Well after nearly 3 years its back on the road! It wasnt smooth sailing tho.. After the initial start up it didnt want to run right so got it down to john at JMR. Turned out to be a combination of faulty fpr isv idle screw o ring and earth problems. Doh! John has worked his magic and it now runs like a dream and handles better than it ever has before having him do the alignment. So now the task of running it in and actually enjoy driving it again. Ive certainly missed driving it it still puts the same smile on my face it did when i first bought it 15 years ago! What is it about these cars lol

this is the guy to contact http://the-corrado.net/member.php?15315-t700bes

Thanks guys:thumbleft:

the filler neck is off a mk5 golf and the tank at the bottom is a universal one off ebay 1.2litre http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Washer-Bottle-Tank-Repair-Kit-12v-1-2L-with-Front-Rear-VW-Golf-Passat-Polo-/391729091117?hash=item5b34df922d:g:9-cAAOSw4A5YyRwG the original pump fitted in perfect

higher flow rate injectors would make it over fuel and run rich. i wouldnt risk it.

yes i wouldnt want to be doing a lot of miles in it LOL

no the 03 s4 he has is definatly 4.2 v8 na must be the earlier shape to his that is v6t maybe?

ah i always thought the rs4 meant supercharged on these and the s4 were NA my mates got an 03 s4 4.2 v8 NA they do sound awesome especially with full milltek exhaust like my mates one has

lovely car! 4.2 v8 supercharged? what bhp are they?

never had cruise control. i never took the dash out in the end just lower panels gave enough access. i just didnt want to have even more of it apart at that stage

The wiring for lighting and power is routed through chassis leg the rest just rerouted. I wanted to do as much as I could without cutting and lengthening the original loom. The only wiring I had to lengthen was coil and expansion tank and I remade the starter and alternator power cables and earth's also STU175

Fuse box and ecu still in original positions STU175

it seems ok now ive fitted the heatshield temps seem ok in engine bay and hasnt melted anything else but will be keeping a close eye on it

a few more pics of my progress. [ATTACH=CONFIG]85406[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]85407[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]85408[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]85409[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]85410[/ATTACH]

yeah i had the same with the manifold i had a mate assist pushing it together so not to damage the threads on the studs. i have wrapped the boot in heatproof tape and made a heat shield to go between aswell the heat wrap i put on was useless i have now removed it. as soon as it got hot it smoked alot and didnt seem to be getting any better!? it should have been all right i dont know why it did that its wasnt the most expensive wrap i used tho....

thats the way id go in hindsight :bonk: the gwerks manifold runs really close to the steering gator it melted my first one! i installed a heat shield that seems to have solved that problem but am keeping a close eye on it.

LOL we've both got great taste obviously! yeah if all goes to plan i hope to making a few more shows this year. ive got to clock up some miles to get it run in

one job just leads to another on these cars doesnt it? LOL have you gone golf g60 or rallye intercooler?
