HummuH 10 Posted April 6, 2012 Hi all, Car is now ready for it's first formal outing of the season at Knockhill this weekend, 8th April. Here's hoping the weather doesn't spoil things. Please follow/like us at http://www.facebook.com/wtfmotorsport. The page has more information on the car (and a 1975 Jensen Healey were running) and will feature updates, photos and videos (eventually) following us through the 2012 season in the SMRC Sports & Saloons Championship. If anyone pops along to the race meeetings, be sure to say hello! Any questions, please ask and I'll try my best to keep this thread updated throughout the season. Wish us luck, we're gonna need it!

HummuH 10 Posted April 7, 2012 Thanks to all, I'll try and fulfill the requests as soon as possible. Testing was challenging today when a fuel line (to the fuel rail temp sensor) flew off spewing fuel all over the engine bay. How the hell it didn't result in a fire is beyond me but after a couple of hours scratching our heads and grafting we managed to make the final testing session! That's a jacking up point by the looks of it! 10 points! Awesome looking machine, lools more sherry pearl though to me? Good luck :) You will know better than me. Mis-leading thread title now! Cool, might come and watch some time. Good luck. Is this the same class as Ali with the white Mk1 Golf 1.8T? No, never come across that car I'm afraid. I'm in Class B1 with Impreza's and the like running treaded track tyres. Championship includes some serious machinery such as a 360 Challenge, Porsche GT Cup, 700 bhp Cossie's, Evo's etc. I'm very much bottom feeding, LoL.

VWVW 1 Posted April 10, 2012 Thats one mean looking race corrado...I would love to have one in race form...Is this still road legal. I am liking the front headlights. Can you get some vids with sound on. Will this be coming up to track anglesey :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HummuH 10 Posted April 10, 2012 haha, thanks. It is still legal, but I've SORN'd it. No way you'd take it out on the road! We've just got our GoPro HD Hero2 but the rollcage mounts haven't arrived yet. Will have it up and running for the next race on 6th May. There's an old video of the car here from before I bought it, sounds the same now: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

coullstar 0 Posted April 10, 2012 Some cool photos. My missus told me she passed a Corrado on a trailer on Friday near Edinburgh. Wasnt till yesterday I realised it must have been you as she said it had a number on the side. Silver Rangie as tow car? Just shows the difference a race set up does for bodyroll, here mine with a failry hard road suspension for comparison. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

junkie 0 Posted April 10, 2012 Perfect. Literally. Docile when you wanted just driven off boost as the 1900 gave a little more torque and an absolute animal when needed. I sold the engine to slimg60 on here and he's still going strong with it last time I met up with him. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This looks great! I wish I would have taken mine on a track. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
