    in my opinion its borderline acceptable.

     

    I have the mk3 vr6 syncro rear wishbones, and I am not running the car that low, so the camber doesnt look to bad. I wouldnt have it setup that aggressive if I had the choice, but look at the back of a TT, they run a canny bit of camber too, so i am just going to see how it goes.

     

    have you seen those camber adjusters you can get on the dutch build website, do you know it anyones had success with them? - gonna put an order if for the brackets next week so was thinking of those as well!

     

     

    Any links?

     

    Think Chris on the syncro forum did some kind of DIY camber adjustment, not sure if its the same a dutch tho.

    Mines defo going back up this weekend to something sensible (as I want to keep my sump and exhaust). Clocked a TT on the A5 near me this morning, defo has noticeable camber on the rears. Imagine it suffers the same when lowered.

    very nice mate, liking the look of the system :)

     

    Cheers....I love the rolled lip on the exhaust, thought I might get a bit of stick for it though :D

    Quick fix would be some ducting from underneath to blast some cold air up there. At least until you get your new bonnet

     

    Looking at cheapo options at the mo, might give that a go as there is a hole where the carbon canister use to go

    How the hell do all the FI peeps keep the under bonnet temps down? Problem I have is alot of heat build up at the back of the block. When you open the bonnet you can feel the heat on your face big time!

     

    Anyone got any vents fitted or have any suggestions? even contemplating getting my bonnet louvred (Renault 5 turbo style) or getting a carbon bonnet with vents eventually.

     

    Most turbo cars I have ever driven have always had vented bonnets, R5T, RS turbo, cossies etc. I'd rather do something sooner rather than later though as keeping everything under the bonnet cool, can only help with longevity off the engine and all components.

    What the camber like on your back wheels then ?

     

    thats always an interesting topic when it comes to 4wd corrados :)

     

    LOL very noticeable, my mate compared it to his old beetle, although the suspension was wound down way too low for my liking, which I think is the main cuplrit! In my pics on page 14 it looks OK, I wound down the coilovers 3cm from that pic and it really seemed to make it more noticeable (will have to dig out a pic of how it looks now.)

    How long you had it on as it will change sound as time goes on getting deeper. Is it straight through then no boxes on? Looks good

     

    Just had it a week....straight thru system with an oversize back box, the turbo really quietens it down. Loudest noise is the turbo and forge 007p :D

    If any one knows about how you get the in dash temp guage working please let mew know asap.

     

    cheers Ollie :D

     

     

    Hi mate,

     

    Sorry....bit of a late reply, but my temp gauge seems to be working fine? Was yours completely dead?

     

    Regards

    Does the QPE use the DBW throttle? Or are you guys having to run cable throttles and no idle control?

     

    No DWB, runs using cable throttle. There is an idle adjustment screw but there is no adjustment, may need to mod it. However the throttle was used before on another 20vt setup and was runnning fine. :scratch:

     

    I have emailed Ben (QPE) and it seems I may have an air leak around the inlet, so need to check gaskets etc :(

    :shock: Mate you will have bad days and good days, try not to dwell on the bad ones.

     

    Remember you have took on a mammoth task, best advice is to do one job at a time, don't set yourself any date targets as that can really get you down. Just aim to get it done.

     

    I understand exactly what your saying regarding the opportunity cost of your R32 Corrado versus more modern cars. Just remember once it's done you will be driving something very special.
