STU175

its been off the road for a few years. i believe we spoke briefly at an alive and dubbin show quite a few years ago. my car was in the show and shine so you would of seen it.

ill be coming not far for me. im hoping to have mine all road legal again by then

looks a neat idea may have been interested 6 months ago i went with a wagner replica golf g60 setup. looks like it would need a bit of tweeking to fit a corrado. the intercooler outlet could possibly foul on the larger corrado headlights and would have to hack off the towing eye by the looks of it. would be nice to build in a bracket for front mount oil cooler if i was having one made

sure ive seen some on vw heritage

right hand side above bonnet pull, bit higher than fuse board

this is the site i use mate http://www.oemepc.com/vw/parts_lst/markt/RDW/modell/COR/year/1990/hg/1/catalog/vw/drive_standart/76/lang/e

thanks guys :thumbleft:

well i havnt posted for a while, ive been beavering away with all the loose ends really. . uprated headlight loom installed.... washer bottle relocation finished off... slampanel has been sandblasted and respayed now drying in my makeshift paint booth in my shed, heaters on full.... [ATTACH=CONFIG]85230[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]85231[/ATTACH] so hopefully this weekend i can finally fit slampanel, wings ,lights , wheels etc and its ready for test drive and MOT then its off for wheel allignment.... then off to exhaust place to shorten exhaust system due to the gwerks manifold being a bit longer than the standard manifold its pushed the whole system about 40mm backwards LOL i cant believe the end is finally in sight and i get get to drive it again soon....

should certanly stop well with those brakes! good work fella:thumbleft:

the flywheel will only go on in one position so no need to mark anything you cant it wrong

id be inclined to take it to a car alarm specialist anyone familiar with car alarms would manage this no problems and probarly quicker/cheaper than a garage that is asking for wiring diagrams

i had one made up from HEL http://www.helperformance.com/custom-brake-hose m12 x 1.0 male swivel both ends 80cm long 45 degree one end straight slave end:thumbleft:

is the coolant circulating ok? possibly thermostat not opening? worse case waterpump.... are the top and bottom hoses on radiator getting hot?

thanks cant wait till its on the road now! got to run it in tho.....

i have removed the rear hanger bracket and used a rubber mount to cure a knock i had similar to this [ATTACH=CONFIG]84800[/ATTACH] it stops it moving and hitting the rear axle as theres not a lot of room between floor and axle if lowered. i also fitted heavy duty rubbers to the other hangers

finally got it running :grin: : https://www.facebook.com/stuart.scales/videos/10154933461409587/ all went well on first start up untill the oil light started flashing after 10 mins.....i feared a major problem... Turns out I had wrong low oil pressure switch supplied :doh: and had the high and low in the wrong place swapped over and all good now....im not religious but i did thank god LOL

Be careful if using Hammerite. Make sure you never get brake fluid on it or it will bubble and come off! Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

Replied to pm I'm still after one Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

Put a private plate on it they'll never know lol

do you still make these im interested in one if you do?

i cant remember the brake hose attaching to the shock atall even from original? mine goes from the bracket that the flexi hose attaches straight to the caliper look at pics of mine here http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?37642-STU175-s-Alpine-White-G60-Almost-done-!/page7

early g60's dont have abs

thanks for the reply ill take a photo when im there next. i did have to push fairly hard to get it in, i felt it pop into place tho and it cant go in any more theres no gap between reservoir and seal thats why im confused why its started leaking? ill have to drain it,pull it out i suppose see whats going on.....:bonk: one step forward 3 steps back it seems at the moment...

ive fitted a brand new vw reservoir, master cylinder and vw seals but have noticed a tiny leak from the 2 rubber seals? its been fine for the last few months after bleeding it all up, have applied the brake numerous times to check all was ok but now it has a small leak? the car hasnt been driven as im still putting the rest of it back together. has anyone had a similar problem? how did you solve it annoyed to say the least :scratch:
