biggerbigben 0 Posted November 15, 2007 But what the hell are you doing driving that sort of car in this temp ? Embarrasingly enough I was on my way to a high performance driver training day, probably the reason I wasn't driving it like I stole it. hehe.. oh well mate - glad your ok. I'm sure you'll get it fixed in no time at all. :) I'm actually thinking of building a kit car myself now the corrado is almost gone. (just thought I'd squeeze it in before I had to buy a house.. :D ) Would you recommend it? Ben Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scruffythefirst 0 Posted November 15, 2007 Would you recommend it? Its cheaper to buy a mainstream car like a westfield or dax ready built, but if you enjoy the build then yes I'd reccomend it. I've built 2 now, the dax was infinitley more complicated than the westfield XI but both were very rewarding and satisfying to see on the road. Only problem is they are never finished and there is always something to upgrade. I'd reccomend going for a quality kit though, some of the locosts are a bit ropey, where as Dax, Westfield, Fisher (fury) are pretty good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dinkus 10 Posted November 17, 2007 Embarrasingly enough I was on my way to a high performance driver training day, probably the reason I wasn't driving it like I stole it. There is a term to describe this sort of thing - Dinkus I take objection to that. At least I was going around a corner at the time... :lol: ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scruffythefirst 0 Posted February 12, 2008 Well finally got out of the hell that was sitting in the pub all day everyday getting paid and managed to get home. Unfortunaley 2 months of paperwork has caught up with me and I've not done much. A few of the shiny bits have turned up though. Steering column dismantled to fit better bearings and or bronze bushes to replace the standard Ford crap with something with less slop. Billet flywheel and hydraulic clutch slave have arrived Fitted the clutch cylinder which replaces the nose of the box, pretty easy, although I'm not sure if I need to shim the input shaft bearing, I had brief read of the workshop manual but didn't bother measure it. Might have to take it apart again... New chassis should be ready by the end of the week, but I'm running out of time (7 weeks and counting) and I've done nothing to get ready for its arrival. Oh well, I'll see how close I get and if I have to borrow dad's MX5 for the LWTLM european tour! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CorradoVR6-Turbo 0 Posted February 17, 2008 that hydrolic clutch should be easier than the cable,is the body all fixed up? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scruffythefirst 0 Posted February 18, 2008 Ha ha, body is still in the moulds in harlow. I'll pick it up when I get back from holand, probably thursday morning. New chassis is getting there, as soon as I've got a few extra bits I'll whip the engine in temporarily and get all the bodywork on so I can measure up for a custom radiator and weld any appropriate brackets on.

Was the chassis that bad it needed a new one?! or are you just being on the safe side? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
