carpoid 0 Posted September 10, 2009 How are you finding the 4WD is feeling ? Had you driven a Corrado with 4WD before this one? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CoxyLaad 0 Posted September 10, 2009 What happened to the Porka seats mate?? Or are they coming at a later date?? Dream motor right there - R32 4motion rado. oooofff :notworthy: cheers mate. Its been a long time in the making. Like i say its far from the complete article at the moment, it needs to be a lot quieter and smoother before i am happy with it. The porsche seats are up in one of my bedrooms at the moment. I need to make some frames to mount them on. Its down the list at the moment until i get the car running right. How are you finding the 4WD is feeling ? Had you driven a Corrado with 4WD before this one? The 4wd is good mate, I have not really give it any real big test but I know it doesnt spin the wheels up even in damp conditions. Feels very planted, much like a vr6 supercharged rallye i had a go in many years ago. The wheels are currently pointing all directions, yet despite that the car tracks straight and true. its impressive. It helps that its proper intelligent haldex 4wd, not just a viscous coupling.

mrbeige 0 Posted September 10, 2009 How did you do the Haldex control in the end? Is the standard Haldex ECU, with all the respective ABS etc from a mk4? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted September 10, 2009 Feels very planted, much like a vr6 supercharged rallye i had a go in many years ago. What's your car like to push? LOL! I remember pushing a Rallye with no engine in it a while ago and because they have so much rear toe out as standard, the damn thing felt like it was 3 tonnes. All that drag on the road :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CoxyLaad 0 Posted September 10, 2009 not that bad actually - all the toe out is countered by the extreme camber, theres only a quarter of the rear tyres touching the floor lol! only joking, its not actually that bad, I should know i have pushed the fecker in and out the garage for the last 5 years lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CoxyLaad 0 Posted September 12, 2009 the fettling continues... somehow my diff has slowly leaked all its diff fluid out over the course of the project, which has explained a lot of the noise and rumbling from the back. luckily i have only done a few miles in it. quick fluid change and its now nice and quiet at the back. got a heat shield clattering the prop at the front, need to remove that. Then its mainly geometry setup i think. oh and i now have an abs fault...typical... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CoxyLaad 0 Posted September 17, 2009 Well, got most of the knocks sorted out, the car is driving really well now. The main problem i am having now is the engine is throwing a cam position fault code up, Not 100% what is going on there...more investigation needed. another quick snap of the car in my work carpark: needs a good polish and stuff but its getting there. Seems to get a lot of gawping when i am driving about, but i suppose they are pretty rare now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
