just read all of the pages, im gutted its been sold but it was a lovely car glad to see it went whole to a corrado fan :salute:

thats worrying that they rust there, how did you cure this problem?? plushow do you find out if you have a rust issue there?

im pretty sure the veyron cost vw £4 mill per car and sold it for a loss of £3 million, it was in the first episode the veyron was at topgear if anyone wants to find it

ooooo nooooessss, you have given me a shopping list :lol: i must ask you as to where you bought the write off? that seems to be the main stumbling block for me at the moment, i do really like the idea, but a simpler vr6t with mk3 syncro stuff welded in is calling to me. maybe ill have to build both :cuckoo:

ahahhaha i would love to do it for you if you supplied the parts :grin: looks like i have taken a reality check mainly down to finances :bad-words: and will be going down the vr6t route and mk3 golf vr6 syncro and get the engine to a reliable 280 ish hp, should be quick and nice and grippy :clap:

that looks nice and tidy, nice shiny wheels too 8)

:shock: well hasnt this little project spiraled up alot :lol: can anyone point me in the direction of where to get a whole car like that from as i havent even got the slightest clue of where to look. thanks for all the input so far guys :notworthy:

but where do i find such a car that wont cost an aboslute bomb, i have a limited budget to do this and i would have thought that finding a written off r32 would go well over that, unless i get the r32 engine separate and find a 4motion golf/bora :D ie r32 engine 1500 ish loom and ecu ?? 250 at a guess haldex havent got a clue probably be 650 ish let alone brakes, wiring, pipeing, and actually getting it running sweet and everything else that i dont yet know :lol: where do you lot go to find such cars to strip down? although i have read the definitve 24v into rado thread it poses to ask more questions than actually answers. can anyone actually put up what is needed?

no worries my posts are cryptic at the best of times, i have a horrible habbit of missing words out here and there :mad2:

indeed they do, to which i meant do the mk4 golf r32 have the same abs rings or spacing?

really!!!! thats good news thanks :salute: how much of the loom do i need? up to the fuse box or beyond that too?, and haldex works of the abs sensors too so will i need to have abs on the rado?

more than likely possible, but space and one off parts will probably be an issue, after all grant parkers mk1 golf is audi stuff but the engine also..... but the only audi mechanical 4wd stuff i know of changes the way the vr6 sits in the bay, ie cam chain facing the front and flywheel to the bulkhead (cant remember the term for this atm :lol: ), unless i have missed something.

i have seen the syncro rear beam mods that dutchdub sell, but im more concerned about the haldex controllers as they are about $1000 and that is alot of money for a stepper moter and a switch :? the other thing is how available are the r32 engines and the haldex that goes with it, surley they are quite pricey still? and are there flywheel options instead of the dual mass items currently fitted? you see by changing to haldex alot of things need to be ironed out for my peice of mind :cuckoo:

i see, that would be fine for starters, but that means it would be cutting it a bit fine if i wanted to go down the r32 route at a later date, im guessing that 4 motion stuff is still haldex, correct? has anyone come up with a cheap haldex controller yet? hehehhehe :D this is only brain storming atm as i just want to plan it all before making a desicion to start cutting up the car and play with the dreaded wiring :gag:

hey all first post so be kind :lol: iwas looking at getting a vr6 corrado as a project car and it sort of spiraled into the idea of making it a syncro using the mk3 golf vr6 bits :D but just how much power/torque can they vr6 syncro bits handle before going pop, i have looked about and cant seem to find an answer to this question on here but im sure someone will know :? im not quite sure if this in the wrong place if so can the mods move it accordingly, thanks
