  1. Yeah, G60 Turbo. I can't take any credit for it though, was all done by JabbaSport before I bought it. It's bored out to 1.9 and running an IHI VF23 Turbo, JabbaSport downpipe with PipeWerx decat-back exhaust system. Many other mods too including Scat 144mm H-Beam Rods, Schrick baffled sump, JE forged pistons and the head is ported and gasflowed with 1mm larger inlet valves, custom piper camshaft and vernier pulley. Intercooler and radiator package was custom made. I'm told its putting out c. 310bhp but I've yet to have any sort of dyno done so will be sceptical on the output until then. First test in the car is next week at Knockhill (weather permitting!) so idea is to give it a test run and take it from there. Can't wait to get out in it!
  2. Hi mate some old pictures here: http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?60297-Hi-all-back-in-a-Corrado Need to take some more and will try to do so over the weekend. ---------- Post added at 12:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:01 PM ---------- Thats great, many thanks for taking the time to do that for me. I'm going to dismantle the whole spoiler assembly this weekend so I can paint it so will have a good look at this also. Thanks for the help guys, much appreciated.
  3. Sorry, I should have been clear. OEM spoiler was removed and a generic feckin' huge carbon-fibre rear wing was put in it's place! Excellent! This sounds just the ticket. I was amazed how how stiff/strong the whole assembly was when I unpacked it last night. There must be quite a bit of force exerted downward on the spoiler at speeds so hopefully a few screws will be enough. Thanks for your help guys.
  4. Hi Guys, I need to replace the big gay rear wing on my racing Corrado with the OEM spolier. I've sourced an OEM spoiler and motor assembly. My question is, is it possible to "fix" the spolier in the raised position without installing the motor assembly and structural bar? If I could do that, I would make a slight weight saving over the wing that's currently on the car. Thanks in advance for your help.
  5. [quote name=';765906]Welcome - sounds like a fun project! Whereabouts in Edinburgh are you? If you see a beat up looking tornado red 16V around town' date=' that'll be me...[/quote'] Just off Colinton Road. Just got the first track time booked for 4th Feb. Gives me a bit of time to tinker before the first race at Knockhill on 8th April!
  6. Hi All, I'm setting uo my Corrado for racing this year. It's currently running fully adjustable KW suspension and Compomotive 16x7.5 all round with 5mm spacers. The car is running a mix of 205/55/16 and 225/45/16, with the wider tyres on the front. Brakes are Willwood Superlite's using a 310mm disc, so think I need min 16" wheels to clear the brakes. My intention is to go with the same tyre size all round to start with and take it from there. Previous owner had the wider tyres upfront to induce oversteer but with the 225's, the clearance is very very tight indeed, even with cut arches and the tyres foul the inner arch linings on full lock (not an issue tbh). For those who have raced before, what size tyres and wheels did you use and did you need to make any modifications to run them without any clearance issues? Also, whilst I'll leave suspension geo until after the first test, does anyone have any advice on alignment settings for clockwise circuits? Please excuse any noob questions, I'm new to this racing stuff and I'm trying to learn as much myself as possible!! Thanks for any help.
  7. Sorry about quality/lack of pics. Getting it back this weekend so will take some more shots.
  8. I thought that might be the case! Already messed up my username so will try and get some photo's uploaded later. It's not pretty! The car may be known to some, so would be interesting to see what's said.
