fla 9 Posted January 21, 2012 some very tidy work going on there Richie. I must admit the engine sounds brilliant and like 8vMatt above i might rethink the OBD2 and drop in a R32....well maybe not just yet. Keep the updates coming! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
8vMatt 1 Posted January 21, 2012 some very tidy work going on there Richie. I must admit the engine sounds brilliant and like 8vMatt above i might rethink the OBD2 and drop in a R32....well maybe not just yet. Keep the updates coming! Haha, I forgot I put that but have been thinking along those lines recently. Have even put my OBD2 kit up for sale so I must be subconciously going in this direction. This is a lovely R32 and is an inspiration to lots on here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted January 23, 2012 This is a lovely R32 and is an inspiration to lots on here. Absolutely, including me. I found Ritchie's thread on the R32OC and it really kicked my arse into gear to install mine and I blatantly copied his airbox on (our) driver's side idea :D I've been toying with the cam timing on mine recently and it's a complete animal low down. Between 1200 - 3000rpm it makes a tonne more torque than my VR6 Turbo ever used to. It rips out of junctions and off roundabouts like a scalded cat, and all with a tiny amount of throttle! A Quaife diff is a must with this engine! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CorradoWannabe 1 Posted January 26, 2012 A stunning looking car & conversion! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RitchieR32 10 Posted June 23, 2012 Time for an update! I've been still working on the Corrado. Some small things some bigger things. Here are some photo's: After some searching the net I found a nice Golf mk2 rain tray, after some cleaning and adjusting it fits nice! I allso finished the rear axle project: - Golf mk4 rear brake calipers - Camber plates - Powerflex bushings - Goodridge stainless steel briaded brakelines - Complete new brakelines - New stub axles - H&R sway bar 28mm - New brake force distrubutor - New wheel bearings - New ABS sensors - and some more stuff Removed the fuel tank and cleaned it: (Yes the clips are installed now! ) Finally installed the oil presure sensor: I bought a Wiechers strutt bar, but it wouldn't fit because of the R32 sumb, so I cut the bracket off and installed it 180 degrees the other way around Then the front brakes... 312mm 2 piece disks with aluminium rotor. I bought the set second hand. The guy used it for his drag Corrado (2.0 16vt) but hey bought a Audi quattro for some more traction (he transplanted the 2.0 16vt to his audi!). The Corrado stood outside for about 1 year so I had some dressing up to do: And installed together with the RH ZW1 wheels I pulled appart and polished and pianted it: And I installed a VERY nice upper rear stressbar from Bahn Brenner Motorsport,i it's made out of aircraft grade aluminium And last but not least... Our son Joris is born on 31th of may!!! As you can see the Corrado blood is allready running through his vains! (the cutunder his left eye comes from the C-section, it's allready healing good but will leave a scar) That's it for now, I'm still working on some things but off cause our son come first!

dragon green 5 Posted June 23, 2012 Looking good,a lot of attention to detail, I've got one of the BBM rsb's ,not got round to fitting mine yet ! But seeing yours fitted,has given me the inspiration for fitting mine ! lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dannyboy 0 Posted June 23, 2012 Thats a very impressive work on the rear axle and brakes look like they could have stopped the titanic. Just beeing nosey but what adpators did you use for the front brakes to fit the 312 brakes? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RitchieR32 10 Posted June 23, 2012 The 312 brakes fit if you make a metal plate to align the mounting bracket. And you need longer blots to fit them together with other brake lines because the connetion is different (banjo bolt) from the Corrado brake caliper.

fla 9 Posted June 23, 2012 impressive as usual Ritchie. The rear axle pics are inspirational - need to strip down and rebuild my spare one too. Most importantly congrats on the little one, i'm sure he will bring you both many years of happiness. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
swampy 0 Posted June 23, 2012 As can be found in the supplier forum I can do the custom braided lines to suit the front and rear conversions Love the attention to detail Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
