Jim 1 Posted August 13, 2015 I suspect it may be too big a job for most, even the well known specialists. But you wouldn't go wrong talking to John Mitchell Racing / JMR if you wanted to consider such a project! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
swiftkid 1 Posted August 13, 2015 I've seen some very good work come out of HR Engineering, I've seen him do a 4x4 caddy 1.8t, a few space frame mk1 golfs, mid engine stuff etc. that all look very well engineered Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim Bowen 1 Posted August 13, 2015 They are near Saffron Walden in Essex, just up the road from me, some weird thing sat out the front, not quite sure what it is, looks like a rally truck. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie 1 Posted August 13, 2015 That Harvey Rice does turn out some nice gear. One of the things I've been thinking about with my do I/don't I 911 conundrum is building my Corrado into a 4wd turbo monster... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jamie 1 Posted August 14, 2015 Appealing isn't it? Very. The only thing that puts me off is when Corrado prices go through the roof, my OEM++ is easily reversible to cash in :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VAG-hag 0 Posted August 14, 2015 it would be a true giant slayer. the only thing that stops me going for more power is the traction/ transmission restrictions :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One of the things I've been thinking about with my do I/don't I 911 conundrum is building my Corrado into a 4wd turbo monster... i know what you mean - i was close to getting a bank loan for the 4*4 VRT blackberry advertised a couple of months ago lol not sure they would be good for a daily though Edited August 14, 2015 by g0ldf1ng3r Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
swiftkid 1 Posted August 14, 2015 I like the idea of 4wd, to be honest I like the idea of rwd better. My mate is doing a 4x4 mk2 golf at the moment so going to see how he gets on then have a think. Gone are the days of finding a rallye/syncro boot floor and simply welding it in so its not so OEM which I don't like. I've read about people using bmw e36 stuff to go rwd which would be massively fun but a lot of work and would be past the no turning back stage.

HummuH 10 Posted August 14, 2015 I wouldn't bother personally. All it adds is weight and more things to go wrong. I still fancy a RWD mid-engined space-frame Corrado, Harvey Rice would be my first point of call after the lottery win. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know it would be a massive amount of work but more OEM(ish) choice? Would the benefit of better traction/transmission not offset the gain in weight Hummuh?
