Hi as some know i took the rado off the road for a small amount off time and its now been 6 weeks and stiill nowhere near completeion lol i have been driving around in a poxy fiat cinqueto and hated it so tonight i bought golf this will be used as my family car so at least im driving another vag until i get the rado done :) god i miss my car

I had 318is very quick car for the size i sold it and bought a rado lol

you need 3psi too run carbs i think the fuel pump will run that ok but as suggested a regulaqtor is very helpful. when i bought ny manifold it came with a facet fuel pump and regulator but really dont think ill need the pump :D as it was for a mk1

lol now thats funny

according to the guy whose done it he reckons it looks really good hes even smoothed out the mobile phone holes :) should have it back next week :)

Bush kit now fitted :D false floor 60% finished speaker holes drilled ready for the speakers. rear stru brace fitted this took some time to get as i didnt want a adjustable one but got it from a mk2 golf wheels now fitted new disc brakes ect Subframes lowered by 1" a little bit better but still needs to go lower :( waxoiled everywhere possible

That mk2 looks lovely sell the rado and buy it :D . i know thats going to get a few comments but that golf looks very smart and will put a smile on many a faces :D

looks mint bud :D bought some 40s now so will be doing it late next week :D

im putting mine on a kr i have diagram somewhere to get rid off the ecu and loom ill try and find it out. shame to hear your not happy with the ones you bought was it a ebay purchase? if so claim some money back. i havent decided on which ones im going for as yet ive been getting everything else ready first got the inlet manifold ported and fuel pump and regulators are sorted just need the carbs lol cant decide between 40s and 45s :(

im doing carbs on mine as for giving less power as said by one all the carb cars ive seen have been running 150-176bhp which is defo a improvement on the 134bhp the car gives out normally. the best way of getting them setup is by a old boy in a garage there can do this well as there used to them :norty: and as for the fuel cost if we wanted a car that was good on this wouldnt we just by prius lol

Cheers for the how too will be very useful :D

ive got the cobra sidewinders there sit higher than the corrado but i chopped as much as i could off from the brackets and now sitting around a 1" lower than there were but still not as low as the rado seats the passanger one im thinking of bolting direct to the floor as ive stripped the rear seats out and dont need to adjust it but drivers one im happy with. ill try and get photos up but dont know if your see what i mean

needs to be attached to a clean part dont matter weather its head or block but must be metal :D

its engine earths bud

Bolt it anywhere as its just a earth pack but kadvr6 is correct should be mounted behind the inlet just above the exhaust

the moral is there if you go in bigging yourself up and talking down to people there aint going to help you out. we only ever failed cars if there needed failing 99% of the time the work was carried out for free on minor jobs even replacing wipers ect wasnt a charged job

its abstructing the view from the windscreen if you read the mot test notes it says something like your not allowed to fix the owners vehicle while doing a mot so its a legit failiure.

if the bearings was not set right why not go back to garage who fitted them for the mot cost? and the fact you took it to another garage to get the work done might get there back lol. i reckon there let you of lightly when i helped with mots in a garage if anyone came in with minor problems we fixed as we went until 1 day when a kid drove in for a mot and was bragging how his car have never failed and how brilliant it was we knew we had to fail it so we did the whole test very harshly and the car was mint until we saw a air freshner on the interior mirror and failed it for that lol :lol: :lol: :lol:

i burnt mine out and fitted without to much trouble :shock:

theres a company in us that makes the early one but there work out around 1000 after paying the postage and tax hes quoted 500 just on posting lol but if the bonnets are that light why is it so exepensive to post lol

mines been of the road for a month and its doing my head in :( hopefully be back on the road within the next month but we will see

dont have a dream engine as such but would like a vr running throttle bodies imagine the noise :camp:

congrats bud and mia is a lovely name :D

hi there the mounting points are different but can be cut and plastic welded back on in the right place :D :D

just means you do the transplant and get a dodgy ticket put on it lol theres going to be so many vr6 turbos mk2s registered as 1.6 gl sop its going to be a nightmare
