Original VR6, completely rebuilt though. I gave a chap a mountain bike on freecycle recently and it turned out that he used to be on the Audi Quattro rally team... knows a thing or two about engines and 'popping in' some quattro pistons. Not entirely sure how this is gonna end up... no doubt expensive and messy. :)

No Kidding mate, this was just like that so before it was fitted I had it Nylon coated before fitting.

 

Bit annoyed that they come with no packaging whatsoever then other things come overly packaged :roll:

 

Was cheap to get done anyway :grin: and will probably keep looking better for longer than the standard paint that they come with.

Quick reminder of what the engine bay was like to start with.

Love it Kip, so OEM :notworthy:

 

I really need to fit the airbox to mine, looks so good!

[Kevin Bacon 5]

Best R32 install I've seen to date, by miles. Well done Kip!

 

If it were mine though, I'd relocate the battery to the boot (as per the MK5) and use the full MK5 air box for extra OEM+ appeal :D

[big ben 10]

that is lovely kip 8)

 

hopefully get mine to that standard by next year

This thread is making me have seething hatred for you all.

 

 

:lol:

Glad you all like it :grin: I think OEM+ is a nice compramise between modding a car and restoring it. My aim is for someone who had never seen a Corrado before not realise it has been modified...

 

Kev, It did cross my mind to do that, I even printed out a 'footprint' of an A3 3.2 airbox (same style as a Mk5 but bigger MAF fitting), but you end up with this long skinny space between the top mount and the headlight that I think looks a bit odd. That's not to say the TT airbox fits perfectly, it's far from perfect. But it would have been good for weight distribution, every little helps!

Last week

 

And BMC fitted at the weekend :)

Mine at the moment. Would like to replace the blue samco's with black and maybe get a BMC or modded stock airbox to fill the space.
