Impressed the announcer knew it was a Corrado (mines badgeless) i was the only C there,but i left unbeaten ! lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Impressed the announcer knew it was a Corrado (mines badgeless) i was the only C there,but i left unbeaten ! lol I wish I had gone now, would have been good to take a look around your corrado. Looks very good. Last year I got 15 secs dead at 100mph at North Weald in my Mk4 Golf 1.8t. My Corrado is currently in bits and part way through a Megasquirt and ITB conversion.

corradophil 3 Posted May 16, 2012 I'll probably go to the next one. I usually go to them all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dragon green 5 Posted May 16, 2012 I'll probably go to the next one. I usually go to them all. I've been going for the last 20 years ! But that was the first time I've raced a front wheeled car ! I think the next one is June 17th, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
corradophil 3 Posted May 16, 2012 20 years! What to you usually race? Yeah the next one is June 17th. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dragon green 5 Posted May 16, 2012 It's of the road at the moment having some well deserved chassis work ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
corradophil 3 Posted May 16, 2012 I like that. I'm a big fan of hotrods and muscle cars. My dream garage includes a 68 or 69 Camaro, or possibly a notch back Mustang, oh and maybe a nice Dodge Charger. This is one of my favourite cars that turns up at North Weald occasionaly (and the reason why I like nothch back Mustangs). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dragon green 5 Posted May 20, 2012 Had a top time at the Nationals,spoke to many,apologies if I didn't speak to you ! Just got on the M25 on the way home,45mph,BANG !! Ruddy stonechip right in my line of vision ! I couldn't resist putting a pic on ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dragon green 5 Posted May 27, 2012 Finally got round to doing my bonnet insulation, Excuse the pics,but I was under my car port,and the sun had switched to Scorchio ! All stripped off ! I used an old credit card and nearly a whole can of this Karl (KADVR6) recommended it,and it does work, Here's how it came from the dealers,I believe it's obsolete now ! All stuck on ! And a random engine shot ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VWVW 1 Posted May 27, 2012 Nice new bonnet waffles :) Nice talking to you at the GB National. We were the first two corrado there. Hers a pic to prove it :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dragon green 5 Posted May 27, 2012 VWVW we certainly were ! it was good to meet you,the day went so quick,i just ran out of time to talk to everyone ! northG60 - the Eilbach front strut brace i bought 2nd hand, (ED38) they do turn up every so often ! I'm sure ive seen Jurrasic parts run,the wild bunch always put on a good show ! I only go to Shakey once a year,but i do all the major events at Santa Pod,i do a bit of part-time crewing for my mates Pro-mod,just dont seem to have enough time to give him more !

dumptyboy 0 Posted May 27, 2012 Looks really good mate. Im currently removing the insulation under the bonnet on the 2.0 16v as its just crumbling! Where did you source your replacement foam from if you dont mind me asking? I should have my VR6 project home next weekend and would imagine I will need to re-do the insulation on that aswell! This could get expensive,Haha. Good work though bud. :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dragon green 5 Posted May 27, 2012 I bought mine about 12 months ago from the dealers,am sure it's obsolete now ! Not sure if Classic parts have any ! Pm PatMcCrotch,he can find out for you ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
