    Car wouldnt start??

    ok, another way of testing the loom, is next time put a wire from the solinoid to the positive terminal of the battery, i had a simular prop with my 16v and it turned out to be a dodgy connection at the ignition end by direct feeding the solinoid you bypass all the electrics, mind you the ignition must be at the lights on position for this to work
  2. post up a pic of the switch and someone might know where you would get one that looks simular
  3. Jeroen Dik of JD Engineering has a blue 16v G60 on 18's there aws some us corrado in pvw i think with 19's on it iirc
  4. yeah there are at present 3 16v g60's in ireland, soon to be one or 2 more :lol:
  5. yeah its the blue one alright, its a vw motorsport engine in it! its a fantastic setup but us rhd people have to do it a lot different as the alternator would be in the middle of the servo if we did that system :lol:
  6. Fuel pump is the same........you need the engine, box, ecu, loom, abs is different too, basicly a donor car

  8. scirocco 16v inlet, 74 vw golf G60 limiteds ( my mate has one :lol:) there were 90 engines made, there is a lovely rallye in the uk with a G60 16v limited engine in it

    strut brace

    Baz, what brace have you? i have a neuspeed one, which is almost the same as the one kev put up. put a pic of it up, it might be for an 8v or a mk2 golf, or........ pics tell a thousand words
  11. yeha but the press killed them i think in testing
  12. Thanks, i am in the process of building one and i just wanted some ideas on where to put the tensioner for the charger belt, i know people who have various setups but i want the simplist setup
  13. car is looking great! Its going to be fantastic when done in leather
  14. Anyone got any pics of 16v G60 engine bays? I know there was one of John's (JMR) car on here before but i camt find it Thanks

    Charger inlets

    this is what i am talking about

    Charger inlets

    I am wondering does anybody know where i can get an inlet for a charger. i saw on matey matey, its a sleve that bolts onto the inlet side of the charger so you can put a samco on something on the inlet to filter. Thanks
  19. i think it is fair to say that a well modded corrado, with the right suspension brakes and tyres can shame a lot of more expencive cars! A mate has a 250bhp corrado, well thats what it was before he went mad with the engine!, abd that car was quicker round a track than porsches and m3's but again its to do with how competant the driver is and how well he knows the limits of his car too! my 2pence worth :lol:

    Con Rods

    sorted, found it on the vastness that is vortex :lol:

    Con Rods

    Does anybody know the length of the con rods in a mk2 8v gti? I am wondering are they the same as a G60 rod, i know the 16v ones are longer as the pin is higher in the piston, ie closer to the crown. Thanks
  23. some of what henny said is true, you need chassis mounts, look at dutchdub for some and you need to change the inner cv cups from the 6 speed box to those from a beetle 1.8T the major disadvantage is the weight of the box itself
