project-getting there

[deebo 0]

hi have owned my corrado for just over 3 years!

 

bought as a project,it is a 16v shell but had a g60 engine.bought it without viewing as was in Cumbria(not good idea)had it trailered down to my girlfriends best mates brothers motorsport garage.asked them to do what they can when they can.it has been a slow process but I went to check on the progress yesterday and wow what a difference.purring beautifully now.

 

few little bits need doing to get it running spot on,mount new intercooler etc.then its onto the few bits of body work issues,but are minor.

 

few bits I need to change,starting with rear lights,but all in good time.

 

hopefully ill update this as it gets closer to completion,comments and critism welcome.

Nice. What colour is it?

 

The wheels are sweet. What make are they?

 

Agree the lights should go. All red rears would suit it I think. I have a standard set though if you're after some.

 

Best of luck with it!

hi,its Schwarz black,non sun roof as well which is a bonus,agree with the all reds,might have the standards off you if you let me know price?

 

car was a complete mess,didnt run,dodgy wiring really pleased with all the work they have done.there doing there own mk2 g60 as can be seen in the workshop for their track days they do,should be 300bhp when they have finished.

 

my rado has buckets seats in,which are also in the firing line,they have gotta go.but they have welded bars in so another pain in the arse.

 

but will keep this going till its all done and spot on

cheers mate,am I right in thinking you can spray standards to all red.

 

bit of a newbie still even if had my car 3 yrs ha ha.

 

I had to pick up some lights for my mk2 16v today,they have orrible crystals on at the moment,so had to pick up some standard 16v smoked.

 

being teased seeing my rado yesterday I WANT IT NOW!!!! but good things come to those who wait

[clumpy1 11]

Yes mate you get red tint spray a bit of lacquer on top and bob's ur aunt. Some people rub them down to get rid of the writing on them before spraying. have a look through exterior section i'm sure there will be a thread in there about them.

cheers,ill have a look through there.

 

as for wheels I have no idea what they are,but are brand new and came with the car with toyo proxy tyres never even driven on the road properly,hopefully someone can name them

i need a bit of advice,

 

what sort of gains are made by installing a twin swg air filter? what work minimum is needed before can install red tops,would i also need to change the fpr?

 

do you advise to an oil cooler? and catch can? also what sort of price can i expect to be charged to have my head port and polished? and any recommandations where?

 

still a bit new to the g60 really so all a learning curve,i have read through a few other posts but not all answers in the same place.

 

i have a stage 4 charger,4 branch manifold if this makes much difference.

 

cheers

The gains from the SWG kit depends on how far you have gone with other mods.

Red injectors can be fitted any time as long as the map is there to suit.

 

As long as you get the correct fitment cooler plate any cooler will do... 13 row seems to do well

thanks,i have read through your thread,some goods points there.

 

is it best to go with an sns chip with all listed mods,or do you know of somewhere better for custom map?

 

if i buy a complete oil cooler kit is that all ill need?

 

thanks for the help,learning everyday

[owen g60 10]

A custom map done either on rollers or the road will always be better that an off the shelf item.

 

A complete oil cooler kit will see you right

hi guys,havent posted on this for a while.

 

a lot more hase been done since I last posted,and hopefully I should have her back in the next month or 2 in time for this gorgeous weather were having.

 

I want to get a swg twin filter,are the cone filter ones ok?i know your not supposed to use cone filters on g60's but being there for a g60 are the ok? or would the panel filter one be better?

[owen g60 10]

I've got the panel filter kit fitted to mine.

The cone kits use k&n filters which are to be avoided if possible. I believe Riley found some paper or fine cotton cones to use... I would check his thread for info on that.

[deebo 0]

think ill just stick with the panel one.

 

do I need the bottom half of the airbox? as its only the top it comes with isn't it?

[owen g60 10]

You are correct, you use the stock bottom half of the air box.

thanks mate,will have to source one now as mine has a cone type filter and didn't really want to keep it as it shouldn't be on there

 

thanks for the help
