Dox 23 Posted July 20, 2017 Hmmmm even on a late Corrado? Its just a 2 inch cut from the double skinned framework underneath the bonnet, it doesn't show with the bonnet closed and if you go steady with the dremel you wont scorch the paint Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gazvr6 10 Posted July 20, 2017 Its just a 2 inch cut from the double skinned framework underneath the bonnet, it doesn't show with the bonnet closed and if you go steady with the dremel you wont scorch the paint Sounds about right mate. From memory i think i ended up cutting mine slightly larger in the end as i think my vibratechnics front mount sits the engine slightly higher.

Dox 23 Posted July 20, 2017 Cheers fellas ;) I can't find an image, from memory its the OSF corner that catches, once fitted if you close the bonnet slowly and use a torch you'll see where its about to catch. Open the bonnet and put some blutack on that corner then some emulsion paint blobbed on top of that before lowering gently again you'll put a mark exactly where it catches on the framework.

Geeba 0 Posted July 20, 2017 Thanks Dox... the path of the car has changed hence the Schrick... I'm going to be building the engine up at my mates place in Silverstone - he's a Porsche specialist but has a wealth of experience in just about everything automotive... he's currently got the cylinder head which will be port/polished/matched/big-valved/cam'd and the block is going up tomorrow and will probably end up at 3ltrs and fully balanced and lightened... along with the manifold it should be fun.... Being a Porsche man he also wants go do this.... GT3 RS Grey... I'm sort of coming round to the idea... but always been a firm believer that a car should stay the colour it left the factory.... hmmmm decisions Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Geeba 0 Posted July 20, 2017 Colour from this car.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spen 0 Posted July 20, 2017 Love the white, don't do it! Will be worth more keeping the original colour in my opinion..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
delfinis38 1 Posted July 20, 2017 (edited) Colour from this car.... John manyard had a grey corrado once, before it was scrapped.. not my cup of tea.... JK has a mclaren 675 long tail in grey with orange interior and that's rather sexy... Edited July 20, 2017 by delfinis38 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

g0ldf1ng3r 15 Posted July 21, 2017 Years ago white wasn't loved,..now in my opinion it's one of THE colours to have indeed m8 - it shifted to white being everywhere on new cars a couple of years ago ive always loved the rado in white, it was one of the reasons i brought my valver back after parting with it for a few years - that & the ultra rare Kamei kit ;) lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dox 23 Posted July 22, 2017 Interesting comments. I do like the vr noise so just concerned that a short runner might lose that.. Did he advise anything there at all? Id rather not lose low end torque tbh in fact id sacrifice some top end to increase it lower down. You need a 2.8 Golf manifold then Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fla 9 Posted July 22, 2017 I've converted mine to obd2 so already have the golf one p!us some 264 cams. Just want to improve low end power delivery a bit more Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gazvr6 10 Posted July 22, 2017 I've converted mine to obd2 so already have the golf one p!us some 264 cams. Just want to improve low end power delivery a bit more I think thats about your lot without the schrick mate. Have you considered the g60 final drive? I've not done it myself but I've heard some great things about it. Or turbo?? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fla 9 Posted July 22, 2017 Hmm g60 final drive sounds good. I have thought about a turbo but that will be a longer term project.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Slightly off topic but how are you finding your obd2 conversion? I brought one off the forum last year but haven't got round to fitting yet.

fla 9 Posted July 23, 2017 Really like it. Idle is much better, economy has improved, it never stalls, and there's a lot more data in vcds - although i dont know how to make use of it yet! Driveabilith is also better. Plus the engine bay is a bit tidier.. I guess i need to start my own schrick plus g60 final drive wanted thread now...

I'll have to have get it remapped again though as mine is supercharged. Thats going to be another £400+ ffs haha. Good luck with the schrick hunt, you won't be disappointed.
