hello scruffydubbers is that the same 16v black corrado feature this year?? its one smooth car :D

OSV that is one beauty :D I remember seeing it once but it is one amzing car

Hello guys My mate with his corrado 16v needs to rebuild the head as it’s giving up hope soon At the mo i'm trying to find a 1.8 16v head to go on there but once we do we still want to rebuild it So basically as I know a few of you guys have done it yourselves is there a kit you can buy or whom would you recommend to get the parts from i.e. eurocarparts or gsf alex 2.1 16v

Majik yeah but there is a good reason for the name BackSide as in back street north london racing vw's which i think is cool Also Nick you should op down to Ace Cafe to one of my nights lol :D and Chris the event is held every last Tuesday of the month so its on the 25th Nov this month but its also the events 1st birthday so where doing a birth show n shine on the 30th Nov All details will be posted

Hello Adam Are you looking to run twin cards??? If so lucky on the 1.8 16v engines it kind of easy. Firsat of all you can run the ignition module/coil etc still of your car and just remove the mechanical fuel injection system As for carbs youll need dellerotto or webber 45's which are more than enough available 2nd hand on ebay.co.uk and on performancevwmag.com the hard bit will be the inlet manifold that come up time to time but new i think they are about £400 In total your looking at £1000 to have it all running etc

If you really want cheap konis then get the FK's from what i understand they are konis without the lable Me personally im running Konis that cost me £650 but then i had alot of work done on the car

Nick you wouldnt belive how many corrado guys are in n.london i know 5 of them then there is the rest on forums etc Also Majik havent you heard of the new n.london group BackSide ??? they come to my acecafe meet every month

also dont worry i liek going down to Steve's top guys there and we always sit about talking about shit lol I even think Majik uses them lol

lol nice to see VW are alwyas up to scratch lol :lol: Im glad you got it sorted on the cheap but a word of advice never except the first qoute etc of anyone always look and ask round i found this out the hard way :mad:

Hello all Most of you know me im running a 2050cc 16v 9A engine which is producing 189 bhp on ripped engine and gearbox mounts and ive been told its prob about 192-194 bhp at the most. Personally i think its producing some nice power :D but i know there is more to be realised but still keeping the car driverable i.e torque etc The main bit is the inlet as ive already sorted out the ehuast manifold and down pipe. There is a very interesting thread on vwvortex 16v forum (i would post the link but work blocks out vwvortex :mad: ) about the inlet. First of all it states that the volume size of the inlet should be 75% of your engine size volume and also when this guy open up his inlet (he used the top part of the 42mm and the middle part of thge 50mm inlet) he found alot of cast little blocks that can be grinde out or ported. Its very interesting read especially discussing the twin butterfly design over one butterfly option on the throttle bodies. So the question i post out to you tech guys is it true about the 75% inlet volume?? Also a idea ive had is adding a secound or larger throotle body that open up only at full throotle to be able get more air in quickly very similar in principle those performance design inlet system for vr's that have the flap inside thank in advance for any comments and any disscussion is welcome.

Hello Nick I personally only live near you in enfield north london and go alot to Steve's VW in south woodford whhen i need parts Anyway for body shops in our areas i would say non!!! that i would trust Seriously mines going for a full bare metal resray and its going to cost nearly half what you got qouted, but thn mines in bournemouth. I has already been resprayed by someone in west london and the finish is crap!!!! hence why its having all of it take off again. The only people i would say is close to us worth touching your car are on the a10 near cambridge as they restore classic cars and do amazing work but are not into modifications hence why i didnt go with them Otherwise ull just have to trust word of mouth.

cool cant wait to see this thing on the road looks like 4x4 corrado are going to be more common than FWD corrado soon lol

you lucky man :lol: :D keep us upto date with the conversion also will you be using golf rallye or TT parts for the floor pan etc??

well done mate you certainly enjoy it :D also have you seen the v6 4 motion engine ecu wiring and running gear all for sale on pvw classfies??? alex 2.1 16v

shit :shock: i dont know its the time of year but woman seem to be doing very strange things my ex is giving me a headache/screwing me over my mates exgirl damaged his car with over £500 worth of repair and now you, this is not good must be something in the air Glad she walked away :) from it it could have been alot worse :cry:

flip if your doing 0-60 in 6.5-7 secs mine must be stupid fast :D also i know 15" makes a bit of a different but not that much

yes please :lol: but ill have a look on ebay

lol well maybe i shoudl say it that way lol

lol can i ask from where you got it from as this might have to go on my shopping list :D

£300 !!!!!!! really is it a wet or dry system??? and what did you get in the kit i personally would add a progressive controller ive heard makes the NOS alot smoother and better etc

maybe i should put NOS in my car lol then i will never get rid of the "fast and furious corrado" or the vin diesel lookalike comments i keep getting lol how much was the kit??

lol yeah i though someone would say that I was hoping someone would say you can use a drill or dremel which i have both to make my life easier but looks like thats not going to happen lol dont worry im going to start somewhere but i just dont know where lol also whats a good way of tiding up wires in the engine bay?? also do you guys do you think i should leave the engine the way it is or should i add a supercharger??

I think we all have probs with insurance companies lol oh well life goes on lol
