Hofmiester 10 Posted June 7, 2016 Jesus, just realised that I haven't posted for almost a year! Well, I've basically been busy with other projects and just enjoying the raddo once it was "finished" I've built an mk2 track car which I hugely under estimated :) Anyway, few camera phone snaps as the Corrado stands today. Main change has just been the wheels, now on BBS RX226 as the RH ZW1s looked the nuts but needed quite a lot of upkeep and cleaning due to being split rims, I just could not be arsed :) The ZW1s are for sale!

Hofmiester 10 Posted June 7, 2016 Thanks chaps, while I was back here to tonight, I re-read the last 4 years of updates in this thread. Soooooo much work has gone into this car.......not to mention the ££££s! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sexybourbon 0 Posted June 7, 2016 Sweet hoff Whats it running now ? Pics of mk2 please Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hofmiester 10 Posted June 8, 2016 Cheers mate. Wheels are BBS RX226 which are the golf mk3 anniversary wheels. Engine hasn't changed much. Shrick VGI, stealth map, BMC, Miltek exhaust. Nothing too crazy but it drives very well. Got a 16v final drive to go in but have no reason to mess with the car at the moment :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hofmiester 10 Posted June 8, 2016 Thanks for the kind words folks. Still loving this car after almost 4 years. Wheels are 16"s but with 215/40 tyres which I think makes them look bigger. The 17 RH ZW1s looked phat :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GUS 0 Posted June 8, 2016 Do you get any sump clearance issues at that height, looks lower than the usual 2 finger gap drop. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hofmiester 10 Posted June 14, 2016 288s from an mk3, much better than the 280s as the calliper/pad area is much bigger but they fit even the 15"s Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hofmiester 10 Posted September 28, 2016 Finally got a new MAF in the car this week and also the decat I bought about 4 years ago fitted. Can't tell what gains came from which part but it goes like stink now :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hofmiester 10 Posted September 28, 2016 Cheers, it was strange as it ran fine but then I took the battery out to start the golf, put it back and it ran like crap. Erratic idle, misfiring etc I assumed it was an ECU reset and base settings needed with Vagcom, did that and no joy. Eventually disconnected the MAF and it ran better. New maf and all good, the battery thing must have just been a coincidence :/ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

clumpy1 11 Posted September 28, 2016 It seems I'm not very good at dodging lol they certainly test you nice to see your still about bud. I'll be starting a breaking thread of mine at the wkend moved on to other things so the R32 will be broken Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hofmiester 10 Posted September 28, 2016 Oh mate, you still not broken it yet? I thought it was long gone by now! PM me a list of bits you have left? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clumpy1 11 Posted September 28, 2016 Started but had issues with EJ and with not being totally clued up on what was what with the car and with work and not having time to do. I left it in the hands of a good friend who listed it on my behalf on eBay however some knob jockey's on eBay gave him so much grief he ended the listing which I cannot fault him for doing. I'll be in touch buddy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hofmiester 10 Posted December 21, 2016 (edited) Done a few bits on the C over the last month that I thought were worth posting. Firstly, I always thought my corrado felt a bit "flat" below 4K rpm and also idled a bit rough, when compared to my old VR6 circa 2001. I assumed it was me remembering my old car as being better than it was :) This last month I changed the fuel pump as it was whining, plus I noticed the car felt a lot more lively with over half a talk of fuel, but flat as it got more empty. After the pump change the car felt a lot better. Then I changed the MAF as the car was stalling from time to time at the lights.....again, a big improvement and no stalls. Finally I changed the O2 sensor as I put the decat pipe on that I bought 4 years ago. I couldn't get the old one out of the CAT.........holy crap, car pulls like a train from low down in the revs! .....idle is also rock steady! With the above 3 items the car feels like it's gained 20bhp! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Edited December 21, 2016 by Hofmiester Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
