wow - awesome..... love it, all it needs now is 4wd...lol

Hi all, I have a 15" 4x100 space saver and was wondering if anyone knows if any manufacture produce a larger 4x100 space saver, either 16" or even 17"???

I used Samco hoses, and you have to make a couple of brackets... not difficult, just get some scrap metal, drill some holes and then bolt it up..

I like your style Paul... 24v install looks interesting... your giving me ideas...! 8)

don't know yet, haven't driven it!

I agree, even though I have a 1.8T in my corrado! I love the sound of the VR6...!

I'm not sure what I'm doing about a re-trim...? My main intension is to get the car on the road asap! Therefore the interior is on hold until this happens. Having said that I really would love to have a professional re-trim but they do know how to charge! I have been practising myself on stretching material over the rear door cards and it's not that hard.., but quality stiching is another issue. Basically I will re-evaluate when I get it on the road. Will posts some more pics soon..

I'm being a bit thick here but what has he got fitted, gearbox back to the rear diff?

cool, cool...

But has anyone actually PROVEN that the haldex setup is stronger....? I'm not that interested unless its actually been proven that its much stronger... otherwise I will stay with the rallye 4wd..??? :roll:

not yet... soon my man... soon..

think about me when you get rid of those wheels then... :D :D :D

Amit's car is the low milage VR I was on about the other weekend neil.... got some new recaro seats in it as well...

Bloody hell, I'm chuffed my name has come up so many times... Come next year I hope people won't be disappointed with my efforts, both with the engine/drivechain, exterior and interior.... I love many corrados on this forum including Lee's, Jay's, Asim's etc, but my all time fav has to be Sukh's corrado... pic thumbnailed-vr6storm And one thats not on this forum.... pic thumbnailed-vr6storm

nice.... giving me ideas neil...

yeah I can't afford it at the moment, will get it sorted when i have some money...

Yeah I know... but he ain't getting any money of me... we will just have to work it out for ourselfs..

like to know how he uses rallye and haldex parts in combination...?

sorry i didn't read it properly. I thought that the rallye gearbox+transfer box rotates differently to the haldex... i.e to every 1 rotation of the rallye gearbox + transfer box would equal 1.1 or 1.2 rotations of the haldex diff and therefore are not compatible......???? I may be wrong, but thats my understanding....???? please tell me different...

You are right, I'm getting a rallye 6spd dog box, or at least wish i was... I'll start saving..

I don't think I'm going to upgrade to Haldex quite yet, I'm going to wait for a few more nutters to chuck silly power through it first before I change over. In the mean time its a 6spd dog box for me and plenty of spare parts for the rallye 4wd... When I get the bigger turbo I will have a re-think. 8) Keep the stories coming though, I want/need to hear peoples experiences.... everyone doing 4wd will benefit...

Should have waited until I finished the dash before posting pics but couldn't wait any longer. I have kept the idea under wraps for over a year now as some of you well know....! I didn't expect such overwhelming replies to be honest, I thought some might turn their noses up at the dash. So thanks for those who posted...! I hope I can keep the quality as high as possible. I do have The Golf + mag interested in a possible feature, we will see. Here is a pic of what the interior should look like, I had to mmodify the ends of the top half of the dash due to the corrado being a different width and the steering column being in a different position, but I have tried my best to keep it looking the same....

As many of you know I have the rallye set up in my corrado and I was chatting to a mate @ Edition 38 show this weekend who owns the ex-Dubsport orange mk2 4x4 20vt about which 4wd is stronger.. Now before all of you say the Haldex, have a think about it first... The ex-dubsport car is mapped for about 450bhp and it uses a dead standard rallye setup and until recently he has had no problems and he drags it every weekend.. With the dog box he is seeing 0-60 appearing in 3.2 secs and 1/4 miles in around 12 secs running @ about 400bhp... He recently has blown a few bearings in the rear diff, but it took nearly 1 1/2 years to do it. Dubsport have built a 550bhp VR6 Turbo 4x4 corrado using the smae setup and that was ok for a few months then the rear diff went also. Now the HGP R32 bi-turbo, which was @ Inters this year runs @ about 600bhp and apparently it blew its R32/RS6 hybrid gearbox shortly after Inters (meaning it was only on the road for a few weeks) and therefore brought the power down to 400bhp where it has since blown x2 rear haldex diffs.... So my question is really, which of the two systems can actually handle more power?? People say the Haldex should handle 600bhp, but does it??

like the name...lol my wheels are wicked, but I was actually after those wheels Jay has on his car originally... never mind, the BBS RC look wicked also... Ben

hummm... maybe, but your behind on the 4x4....?
