Keyo 47 Posted January 27, 2020 Hi mate, Im based in Sutton Coldfield, when your cars complete I reckon we should have a Midlands meet and go and drive some roads around Malvern and Ledbury. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1xshaunx1 27 Posted January 27, 2020 Great stuff. Great thread keep it up. Did you know the cast alloy baffled sump off a m4 I think fits, it’s a straight swap because it’s not the shallow one.

Geeba 0 Posted January 27, 2020 Is the rado back in your mums garage... hiding from the dog cctv... impressive job on the new house... new drive way I’m prep for the rado ? It is - back in the heated garage for the winter ;) - LOL! yes my mum is getting the hump with the ammount of owners that aren't picking up after their dogs around the village... it does seem really bad at the moment. The new house is hard work... seems to be taking all my time hence another year gone and not much done on the car... I had to dig the drive out as I've taken out two walls inside and need somewhere to put the rubble :D - I dont think the Rado will make it to this house, as soon as the house is done I'll be selling up and moving on, I think my village days are coming to an end.... it seems to be resembling more of a large housing estate lately..

ABV-VR6 12 Posted February 4, 2020 Haha I wouldn't call it the ultimate restoration, theres alot better restorers out there than me, I just want to learn and make it look how I want it but that's awsome if its inspiring you, you got much planned with yours mate? And yess I've deleted the whole abs system so all the wiring and everything, took a while to source the right servo and master cylinder but it was worth it, and yeah deleted the power steering system too so just looped the steering rack for now and got a shorter aux belt (it has to be narrower too) and hahaha I wish I worked for McLaren I got it from the British super bike team I mechanic in, called FS3 Kawasaki, I've managed to grab a few bits that were laying around, that's where the carbon cover came from too Finally home and got the chance to see your pictures in full size. Astonishing work mate! Happy for you. Are you still working on it? I'm seriously thinking of deleting the abs system as well. So sourcing the parts were the though parts? Thinking of redoing the brake lines like you've done, never did that but it looks like with some patience its totally doable! I'll be following your next steps mate.

kennyvr671 10 Posted February 9, 2020 Hi mate, Im based in Sutton Coldfield, when your cars complete I reckon we should have a Midlands meet and go and drive some roads around Malvern and Ledbury. Yess! Definitely it's always good to meet up with local owners, theres a bloke over Northampton way called Jimmy, hes trying to build a network of corrado owners in the midlands hes got it up to some pretty big numbers tbh, friendly guy too, always organizing meets and convoys to car shows ✊ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers Haha thank you for the comments mate, and yesss I mean I domt think anyone every gets to stop working on there corrado 😂😂 and well theres a couple good 'how to' thread on here and vortex, just make sure you get a proper non abs master cylinder with the 4 take offs, otherwise theres no failsafe if a piston fails. Brake lines are 100% doable mate its actually pretty satisfying 😂 I used kunifer copper/nickel Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
