[CorradoVR6-Turbo 0]

done some more work,but im held back on parts from the states.......i wonder what it could be.....? :tongue:

 

Quick pics,had it started today,got the sump drain done and sump painted,ARP rod bolts in,new oil pump so all looking good at the bottom end.

 

wired in the junction boxes to fit battery in boot and done bits and bobs.

 

Aeromotive FPR plumbed in,just waiting on -6 to-8 adapter for that..

 

cant wait to have turbo on plumbed in and downpipe made up.....then the real fun begins!! :cheers:

been wathcing this post a while now and wow. wish i had the balls space and knowledge to attempt something like this, if i had a go at welding im sure id end up with something resembling some roadkill :S

[CorradoVR6-Turbo 0]

Cheers matey! yea welding can be fun and games but its all practice and i think ive cracked it unlike so called pro welders :bad-words: :tongue:

It all makes sense now as to why your building the budget VR turbo so you can have the expensive wheels on :lol: or you putting them on the rat.

[mrbeige 0]

Oooooh, I like them! Very old school, but in a good way. What 'variety' are they, Chris?

[CorradoVR6-Turbo 0]

I thought I recognised them. An old mate had some on a mk1. Looked good on that too. Good skills chief! 8)

They look like MIMS to me, i wanted a set when i had my Polo GT, but im not talking about those wheels in my post above by the way :salute:

[CorradoVR6-Turbo 0]

Very cool ,do you have any more pics? did you machine into the rim to fit a cap?

[ziderapple 0]

Looks like your nearly ready to go James, couple of bits of hose to connect up the CC then you'll be off!

[turbomagikz 0]

:salute: hello james . i have just a few picz ....but u can hardley see the effect as centres were done in satin black bad lad finnish :gag:

this is my lil bro's golfskie ...sits in garage like "rabbit in da hutch" .......

centre caps were just quickly machined out of ally 2mm plate .

if u take look at ur rimbz there is a slight resecse....

centrecap fits in that with tapped allenbolt.

dont get me wrong i would say machine out the centre for max show car finish ...but we dont do "SHOWCARFINISHES" LOL :nuts:

does look like a proppah set of outstanding euro rimbz .

marrk

if u wantin in da hutch close ups il get sum 4 u over weekend.

Update time,not much done,been lazy....also working on house :sleeping:

 

So ive made the chargecooler bracket,relocated the battery to boot,fittted 16 row oil cooler and broke my Crack pipe! got a billet one comming off Karl along with some SP 263 cams,440cc injectors....that should be good for a few extra ponies when i need em :grin:

 

Also have bought some BBS RC's off Zak so should be getting them around a couple of weeks or so...and they should fit over my set of 312mm brakes that i got for a bargan of £60 !! :norty:

 

Im still waiting on little things off ebay!! love it or hate it is still a good way of getting a bargan or two! :bad-words: So i cant start it up yet to move it to my work where i will finish the exhaust down pipe and little odds.

 

But its getting very close... :D

 

Few random shots...

Absolute Bargain for thoses 312's!!!!! :)

 

Turbo build is coming along well :wink:

[marcus 0]

Im loving that white corrado, maybe its just the angle of the shot + cos its sooo clean that i want it. What are you doing with that one??

I want a fuel rail like that too :-(.

 

turbo inlet is HUUGE buddy.

Those 440's going to be dumping loads of fuel..u aiming for 400+bhp??

[CorradoVR6-Turbo 0]

400 hp in time and that turbo wont be there that long,the GT35R is what i want but for now that T70 will do :)

 

That pic is with my mates SLR camera and it takes great shots unlike my pocket one :tongue: its dirty and needs a polish! :lol:

[StormchargedVR6 0]

[CorradoVR6-Turbo 0]

[CorradoVR6-Turbo 0]
