Very nice mate....carbon bonnet looks the mutz nutz :)

Blimey, I didn't know you'd bought Licklepaul's VR, I always liked that one.

 

I've got a thing for Rados on OZ type multispoke rims at the moment, and that top pic looks superb 8) The brakes get good cooling with that type of wheel and they weigh bugger all, aswell as looking smart. Everyone does BBS and 9s, so it's great to see something different 8)

well after toying with either turbo/rotrex, i decided on the rotrex route :) BUT then as loads of people will tell you, that to get them running 100% you need some form of standalone. So if i'm going to do that, i thought i may aswell shove the R32 lump in while i'm there :lol:

 

so just waiting to hear from Storm Developments, about when they will be able to install an Emerald ECU for me, i WILL get it all mounted/running within the month, then later on in the year the Rotrex will be going on, but maybe not the "little" C30-94 :)

 

wish me luck.

You dont need any luck Karl, i hope i get to see (and drive) this car before you get silly and charge it...Its gonna be awesome..

I had a 3.2 TT in the workshop today and that felt pretty quick, so that engine in a corrado thats alot lighter and yours should fly 8)

[KADVR6 0]

i will give you a shout Michael when its all done, been on the phone to storm today, and for £1500 they will modify the R32 loom for the corrado, supply the emerald ecu with a base map, all i need to do when it comes back is join 5 wires together to power up the ecu.

 

how easy is that :D

have a guess.

 

you will all me slightly amazed :D

[Kevin Bacon 5]

Oooh I reckon you're coming in at around the £2K mark inc the R32 lump and Rotrex? :lol:

[CorradoVR6-Turbo 0]

Who cares about the price! juat get it done ! this should be one nice motor when its done 8)

[Bally 0]

R32 power.. nice one Karl...

I'd love to say the first bit James, certainly agree with the second though. Yeah, i would agree with The Cheese, around £2k, maybe £2.2? Which, IMHO is a very good price and i am sorely tempted to start saving the pennies...

[KADVR6 0]

not quite Kev, but not far off??? but i did get a bargain with the actual R32 though. shame the rotrex cost £1275 otherwise it would have been around the 2k mark.

 

all i'm needing at the moment is the throttle body off a alfa 3.2v6???

[Fraiser 0]

Just wondering why the r32 throttle body cannot be used with emerald - is there any specific reason -

 

its just that im going this way with my project and was going to use factory management but am thinking about using Emerald.

 

I spoke ot one of the wesstide boys who is r32 ing his mk2 golf and he is planning on using hte r32 throttle body with emerald.

 

thanks

If the Emerald has electronic throttle control then I can't see a problem, but I'd expect that it doesn't.

Look forward to this one. You gonna stick your red leathers in Karl? Remind me how good they look again 8)

[KADVR6 0]

well the trusty gal hit 200k today, dont think there are many k reg fords on the streets today, that look/feel as good as this car does.

 

karl

[Kevin Bacon 5]

200K, Nice one 8)

 

I don't think the Emerald supports Drive By Wire? Probably why a mechanical Alfa throttle is used instead.

 

Unfortunately going standalone costs you some refinements, but most you can live without :lol:
