Thats what I'm reading HummuH but all seems to be US spec of the CDM. I haven't had a proper look for gearbox code currently fitted to the car at present. Will try get a look today at some point.

So swapping boxes like for like will leave me with the same gearing pretty much, but with an LSD for grip?? It desperately needs an LSD of some kind. Lighting 3rd gear tonight at numerous positions in the rev range. If its wet on Saturday at Knockhill we're in for a treat lol.

Lots of options and possibilities then. I'll need to double check what box I have. I was under the impression it's a CDM that's fitted, but I keep finding conflicting stories about VR6 gearboxes and many people saying they are all the same. I'll try and find the plaque with the code on later today. I'll get a chat with you on Saturday HummuH :)

Thanks for the help and info guys. If it doesn't have a 3.6 final drive at present, where is best place to get a hold of one?

Hi guys, We've just purchased a CCM gearbox with a Peloquin LSD installed for our 2.8 24v Corrado Track Car. We are now facing a choice. Are we better removing the LSD form the CCM gearbox which has a longer final drive (3.3) and fitting it to the Corrado gearbox (3.6 final drive)? Or are we better off using the CCM box as is?? Knockhill is the track closest to us - however we are also planning on various UK track days and have also booked a tour to Spa and Nurburgring. The engine is currently producing 240hp and 220lb/ft. I know the CCM box is a lot more suited to an F/I car, but looking for some peoples opinions before doing 2 gearbox changes. Thanks Stevie

Brakes look amazing. Wheel fitment looks excellent as well

Thanks guys. I've always said a set of alloys determines the look of a car, and yet again I'm not disappointed, the car looks a whole lot better with the MO's. Not brand new but have been very well kept. Very clean wheels, probably one of the best sets iv bought preowned.

I'd be interested in a group buy for LSD and fitting kit guys. Will keep an eye on this thread.

Tarox are still on the go yes, but the discs are over double the cost of the EBC's. Probably a good reason for that, but the cost of the EBC's and knowing they work good are drawing us towards them as a starting point. Two jobs were done at the weekend. Heaters refitted, and also track wheels fitted. Much better fitment. Tracking needs done unless its the balancing thats out. Got to dark afterwards so the pics i took later were rubbish after it was washed. Wheels are 16x7 et25 Compomotive MO's. I've got some Dunlop track tyres we will fit to them later on in the year once we've tried it out with the Yoko's are worn down. Next job - decat as the is currently blowing at the join, and the car is too quiet. Upgraded discs and pads and a rear brake bias valve as the one fitted just now is seized. Also look into lowering the seat position as its a little too high at present. Custom mounts will probably be the best way forward for this. Another bonus was finding the car has braided brake lines already fitted all round, another job off the list for this month.

Yes very wrong haha Adaptors??

Have a search for 5x98 and fit wobbly bolts. Lancia Delta fitment.

Seen them on eBay, trying to se if any trusted forum members have any before having to get an ebay one. Avaliable in UK for less than that one in the link also. Thanks though.

Thanks for the input guys. Appreciated. We're probably going to go for EBC discs with green stuff pads, and a cold air feed to the brakes. They've been tried and tested by us before on previous cars. They'll be a good starting point along with good fluid and braided lines.

As per title guys. Looking for one of these ASAP. Anybody have a good working one spare? The one on our track car is seized. Thanks Stephen

Iv had mixed experience with the ds2500. Great on my 205 GTI but very poor on my M3. Pagid RS29 always seem to get a good review, in particular Iv seen the good ratings on the M3 forum. Calipers are TT/V6 4mo fitment that are for 312mm brake discs. What brake discs would you recommend if you think the EBC will be no good? It's not 100% track no, it will be used on the road as well but not loads. It needs to drive us to and from the track, and also Germany and back when we go to the ring.

Thanks mate. Had a look at Revotec stuff last night on demon tweeks. Looks ok. It doesn't boil down to money, it's not about not affording anything more than £200. It's better to spend the £200 on decent EBC stuff that on previous track cars of mine have been more than ample, than to take he car in its current status with OEM discs and pads and standard fluid. The EBC pads have also been a good addition to my E46 M3 road car. What would you recommend in the place of EBC without going into mental money territory on 312mm brakes?

Nout wrong with EBC stuff gwr. Better than standard and not overly expensive, that's for sure. With good fluid, they'll be plenty good for this car. Like said Iv tried and tested them on previous track cars and have been excellent. What would you suggest otherwise disc and pad wise for £200 that are 312mm?? Really good advise HummuH. It's as well being done if it makes any odds of a difference for little to no cost. The fogs are already removed, so easy enough to get cooling ducts fitted if it's a case of cable tie racing :). It won't just be Knockhill this will be prepared for, but you're right, the track is brutal on the brakes.

Thanks very much guys. Iv had previous experience (and good ones) with EBC discs and red stuff pads. Coming in at under £200 for the fronts so going to give them a bash for now. HummuH, was hoping to do 28th Feb but away working that weekend. Next Track Scotland one not until April. Will hopefully get a date in March for first track day once harnesses are secured properly and brakes are sorted out with something a little better. And of course the new wheels & tyres which will make a world of difference. Coullstar I'm pretty sure the cage is a Weichers or something like that. Will defo be looking into the brake ducts. Even something home made would do, but those things look like the trick.

Hi guys, As per title. The track car doesn't have the heaters fitted. We have the control facia, the motor etc, but no bowden cables. Anybody have the correct cables and in tact?? Thanks Steve

Been keeping this quiet for a while now, as has Jay whom the car was bought from. Been lurking the forum for a while but only just picked the car up. Jay gave my mate and I first dibs on the Corrado when he decided to sell with the birth of his daughter slowly approaching. We put down a deposit after spending an afternoon with Jay talking about the car and going over the finer details, and Jay stored it while we got the previous track car of ours stripped and sold of. Today i went along and picked up the Corrado. Its an absolute beauty of a car to drive and a perfect track car. Rough and ready on the outside but all the right things done to make it a very capable track car. Mods are :- 2.8 24v Engine Conversion Remapped to 240bhp, 230 lb/ft torque. Huge Cone Filter Magnex Exhaust System. Totally stripped out of all interior except dashboard. Full Roll Cage. Fixed Bucket Seats & TRS Harnesses KW V1 Coilovers 312mm Front Brake Upgrade 16" TT Mini-Comps Lexan Windows Carbon Fibre Bonnet 280mm Momo Team Steering Wheel Snap-off Steering Wheel Hub Tinted front indicators All Red Rear Lights Short Shifter Fancy Gearknob Plenty more that i can't remember at this moment in time. Pictures speak a thousand words though, so here are some :) Excellent car to drive - much better than the Clio although that was fun, but this car is certainly more what my mate Marc and I are into. Plans:- New wheels - got them already, will be a huge improvement. Decat/Noisier exhaust - it is so quiet it isn't right for a track car Upgraded discs and pads - OEM stuff probably won't last long on track Other than that, drive the hell out of it, few track days at Knockhill, couple down south at Oulton Park and Cadwell as well, then a trip to Nurburgring is on the cards as well. Chuffed to bits :)

Best case would be 3pts and £100 fine.

Found this today. Looks good.

Put it through an MOT, see if it passes or fails, quick service and advertise at around the £1200 with the expectation of achieving around £800-£900 if it passes ok. If it fails on something major, then would be the time to break for parts.

Now Sold Thanks for the interest.
