DBP from 24v to VRT

Recommended Posts

Good news! I had to move the corrado down the drive to get my winter car up to the flat part for new engine mounts to be fitted ,but before I started the rado I thought I would check to make sure I hadn't left any tools on the engine and whilst looking I found a massive air leak! When I changed it to obd2 I had to split part of the servo hose ,,guess what forgot to re connect! All sorted now ,starts first turn idles perfectly and goes like a scalded cat,,,couldn't be happier,

 

So there's no reason it won't be on the road early next year chris,,....

Good progress, sometimes you just need a little time away from stuff and it gives you a fresh mind when returning. Will be awesome when properly on the road..

Thanks for the comments ,I will do a video of it once I've sorted the exhaust ,can't really compare it to the 24v as I've only been up and down the street in it but that's all I needed to get the love back for it!

fantastic. I'm thinking of getting a black carpet as well to contrast with the cream leather, yours really does look good. Post up some more pics, its a great build.

Looking good fella - that turbo looks like a monster in the engine bay shot!

 

Might want to give the tank straps a tickle though to bring them in line with the shiny zorst.... ;)
