CoxyLaad 0 Posted January 3, 2005 p.s. what suspension are you using then Ben? and what springs have you specified? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CoxyLaad 0 Posted January 4, 2005 ok, been looking about - check this guy out http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/525442 has a bit of negative camber but look how low it is Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
biggerbigben 0 Posted January 4, 2005 ok, been looking about - check this guy out http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/525442 has a bit of negative camber but look how low it is I think he has done something wrong - his tank is far too low!!! He has 18" wheels on it mate which might help a bit. Other than that I don't know, but he still has some camber there! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
20v turbo 0 Posted January 4, 2005 are the excentric bushes that vw make no good to get rid of this excessive camber?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhatVR6 0 Posted January 4, 2005 that passat floorpan in that red one is minging Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bcstudent 0 Posted January 4, 2005 That fuel tank looks seriously odd. Apart from that it's a really nice looking car though - lovely colour. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CoxyLaad 0 Posted January 5, 2005 massive isnt it? It goes under the rear seats. thats if its not too big.... Edit: ah you werent talking about my tank lol I just realised that 9 months after you posted it lol :lol: :lol: :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CoxyLaad 0 Posted February 1, 2005 its too big :-( Custom fuel tanks it is then.....bastard....... any one know a custom fuel tank maker in the north east? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
biggerbigben 0 Posted February 1, 2005 Custom fuel tanks it is then.....b******....... Will the rallye one not fit? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhatVR6 0 Posted February 1, 2005 not with the exhaust he's got planned, no. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CoxyLaad 0 Posted February 1, 2005 I checked on a pic of your car ben and you can actually see the rallye fuel tank hanging below the bumper line, so its not an option for me. Look like I may have to have 2 or possibly 3 tanks to make up a decent volume.....bugger Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted October 4, 2005 Any updates Coxy???? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris VR6nos 0 Posted October 4, 2005 He may do but not until June next year! Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CoxyLaad 0 Posted October 4, 2005 ah. Right. well I now have the floor in place and welded in, although I might have already told you that lol I have the back axle in too. all that remains is for me to sort out the rear brakes - I am fitting S2 rear calipers onto 256mm drilled discs, the exhaust (as in it currently doesnt have one), and get it painted. Should be ready in about a fortnight ;-) I will take some pics tomorrow night Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris VR6nos 0 Posted October 4, 2005 So it's not going to be the same promises you made yourself last year! :lol: Good to hear it's coming along further, need to get some work done before the freeze comes along! Sooner than you think. Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Musicman 0 Posted October 4, 2005 Been looking at your discussion on camber. Doesn't seem to worry the Beetle guys any :) http://www.cybertects.co.uk/picturepost ... W_6983.htm http://www.cybertects.co.uk/picturepost ... W_6913.htm http://www.cybertects.co.uk/picturepost ... _8967.html (then again, would you pinstripe a Corrado too? I know what you're on about ;)) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CoxyLaad 0 Posted October 5, 2005 The freeze doesnt bother me Chris, I have a heated garage mmmmmmm :lol: I am working on the brakes now, bit of a typo before I meant 256mm vented discs not drilled. I am not fitting the ABS striaght off, although I have it I am going to save that for phase 2. Speaking of phase 2 I am in 2 minds of what to do. I have 2 options really. 1) fit the charger and p1ss about with intercooling etc etc. 2) sell the charger and the 2.8 to make way for an R32... I know the charged 2.8 will make far more power, but the R32 will be a plug an play thing, and will be good for a normally aspirated 250bhp. I dunno....thing is I know when it goes on the track and ben comes sailing past me in his turbo, I will be wishing I had the forced induction! R32 or Charged 2.8 descisions descions.....

biggerbigben 0 Posted October 5, 2005 Sounds good Coxy, do you have access to an R32 lump then? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted October 5, 2005 Got any more details of the rear 256mm conversion Coxy? I need to do something similar on mine but not sure how it all fits onto the rear stub axle/hub. Personally I'd go with the charged 2.8. I'm bored of N/A :-) Or how about a charged R32? Is that an option? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CoxyLaad 0 Posted October 5, 2005 No access to an R32 lump as of yet Ben, but then I am not really looking at the moment! If I wanted one I am sure I could locate one. I reckon its going to cost me at least a grand to setup this charger. I have to buy/make brackets, buy an intercooler and pipe work, then I have to get the motor remapped. and I reckon that I could raise enough funds through selling the charger and 2.8 block to fund an R32, which as I say it just bolt into place. Then I could fit a proper supercharger kit for that at a later date, should the need arise ';-) and the kit will just bolt on and be setup in a matter of hours wont it kev lol plus I will have the kudos of an R32 that people seem to toss off over all the time lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CoxyLaad 0 Posted October 5, 2005 re the rear brakes: my rear axle is totally different to yours kev. I have hubs that are the same disc fitment as the fronts. You will be limited by what rear discs you can buy. Does the mk4 golf 2wd run vented discs? If not you are screwed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How much do R32 engines go for these days? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted October 5, 2005 Does the mk4 golf 2wd run vented discs? If not you are screwed Yeah the Anniversay, late V5 and GT PD 150 do I think. As does the Octavia RS, Seat Toledo V5 etc. They all have a hub type arrangement, rather than slotting the disc over the stub axle. I'm not sure if the MK4 'hub' mates up to the Corrado Stub axle or not though. Guess I'll have to try one and find out. Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CoxyLaad 0 Posted October 5, 2005 dunno, I reckon around the 2 grand mark? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CoxyLaad 0 Posted October 5, 2005 ah - if I rember correctly the hub is part of teh suspension arm, and therefore no good to you, thats on a mk4 tho. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
