Swompy

:confused4: Care to elaborate

Little up date. Car has 10mm spacers on the front now so no more arch chaffing :lol: Going to spray the tsw some point this week and might have them on for bristol but not shore yet. Also got a 4 branch manifold on the way ready for the rebuild 8) . Just need to get hold of a flowed head now. Need to give the car a good clean and polish too as its filthy :(

Oooooo shiney, looks good mate I need to get polishing for the weekend

Ya I know so its not to bad if I dont win the first bid or so. I missed out on one today by £5 :bad-words: I wouldnt have a clue about the throttle body tho

Cheers :D

Why not e-mail the man himself and ask his opinion ? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VW-2L-16V-GASFLOW ... 3a5b2a0d27 I have just waiting for a reply

But which head would I get more power out of ABF or KR?

Have to agree and it smells nice too, I dont normaly like them sort of smellys

Black VR at the cross roads by Sainsburys at Gloucester Quay's at about 12.40. Lowered, Debaged grill and only a corrado rear badge, and a after market exhaust. I was at the petrol station side and you was coming out of the industrial estate. I did wave but dont think you saw as you was booting it towards the cinema/toys r us. Sounded amazing :nuts:

Thanks Andi And thereason both links are the same is because I went to quote the first post but edited it insted :brickwall: Thanks mate Good luck with yours when you do it. I will probably get a VT engine mounts to stiffen :norty: things up a bit.

Any advance on the above? Also what do you think of this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/STAINLESS-STEEL-MANIFOLD-VW-CORRADO-1-8-2-0-16V-/190394776657?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2c5469bc51 Yay or Nay ?

:lol:

Union jack on the roof???!!! :lol: That would be Kip

Which would be the best head to get flowed a KR or ABF. I think the ABF one would be best but couldnt say for shore. Any advance on the above? Also what do you think of this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/STAINLESS-STEEL-MANIFOLD-VW-CORRADO-1-8-2-0-16V-/190394776657?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2c5469bc51 Yay or Nay ?

White VR that I've seen around a few times. Saw it parked at a view point and an old couple stood by it, so I slowed down and shouted "nice car" ( as you do 8) ) and got a suprised smile back, couldnt stop as I had cars behind me. parked up about 200 meters down the road waiting for my Gf to finish work and it drove past me give it the thumbs up and got a wave back :clap:

Its an easy job ent it. I keep forgettting to show Dave I have one fitted.

What do you think of this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VW-2L-16V-GASFLOWED-CYLINDER-HEAD-MK3-ABF-PORTED-40BHP-/250637585703?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3a5b2a0d27 Looks genuin enough.

Thanks for that mate Will have a look on clubGTi How much did the above set you back?

Thank you at least some one noticed :D Like I've said above I shouldnt have anything wrong with the bottom end at all and it will really need is a new head. Thsi si what I'm going to do, which is mainly focused on the head. Find a P+P head, 4-2-1 mani, ABF cams and all new parts in the head. The bottom end I will leave alone apart from new gaskets, unless it has something wrong with it, but it shouldnt have. How hard is it to convert a 9a fueling to a KR fueling? Thanks for the link Andrew but unfortunatly I dont have that sort of money right now and thats one of the main reasons I'm waiting until the end of the year. I dont want silly power out of it just enough to be quicker than normal but not get left behind by other corrado's.

Either way I'm going to do this as it needs to be done and I dont want to just give up on the car and condem it to a scrap heap AS its only covered 96K the cylinders should be ok unless something has gotten into there and scored the inside. So what sort of things would I be looking at replacing, gaskets, seals, bearings, injecters, tappets, springs, HT leads. What els would I need to get? :shrug:

:clap: a spot :D I didnt notice you straight away was too busy eatting a pasty 8) but guessed it was you :wave: I was parked in the car park round the other side of the co-op and must of just missed you as I was in the co-op. My dad has spotted that white one before.

ouch p/p the head i wasn't going to rebore but get some performance cams and a nice exhaust mani I could all ways buy a VR but belive it or not I dont want to :ignore: ( at the moment any way) The only thing wrong with my car is the engine playing up. And If every one is jumping into VR's then in the no to distant futur there isnt going to be any decent Valvers about so to you telling me to buy a VR :lol: But I might go down the buy a engine and rebuild that with flowed head and 4 branch road. then swap it over. Rebuild my engine and sell that on. But with the crash damged route I could hopfuly make some money back by selling parts. :shrug:

I knew i missed something off that list :brickwall: But ya thats one of the other options I forgot to say I will have another car to use during that time

I'm thinking about giving my engine a good over haul as its using oil and driving me up the wall :scratch: It wont be happening till the end of the year (if its going to happen at all) after I've saved like mad but I've thought about a few ways of going about it. I would like to rebuild it my self but I know this will take long than taking it to DG What I've thought about so far is 1. Take it to DG for a full rebuild nothing fancy 2. Rebuild the engine my self as above then take it to DG to be set up 3. Find a crashed damaged MK3 or MK4 Golf GTI with low millage and swap the engine over. More expensive ideas now 4. Get DG to rebuild it with a flowed head, ABF cams, 4 branch mani, and maybe rebore the cylinders so its a 2.1l ( if possible) :shrug: or 5. Do the above my self but send the block and head off to be done properly then take it to DG to be set up Really I would like to have more power at the end of it but still keep the essence of the valver ( Ie. no FI ) and be able to give the G60 and VR boys a run for there money 8) Either way I know it wont be cheap and will take a while What you guys think any other suggestions?

Nice one Chris And by the looks of it you have not only caught the Corrado bugt you have also caught the DG bug too :lol:
