I'm sure you and Delfinis are building Corrado's in your lofts from spare parts! :D

Go for it easypops ;-)

Very interested.. any chance of a picture? Are they clean?

What brand is it?

Tell me more?? MK4 tensioner?

Is the automatic servo and cylinder the same as the manual?

My shifter is boxed up with your address on it Dave... just seem to keep forgetting to post...:(

Theres more to bonding as well... how old is the house and the concrete portion of the job... if it's a 50's, 60's and indeed some 70's the house will have no DPM - all they did back then is 'black-jack' the floor and then lay tiles over it.... if you directly bond to this without applying a DPM before latex it will draw up the damp and your expensive floor will end up in a pile outside your front door. I'd still go 22mm engineered and Timber Mate Gold if the floor is already flat. (ex floor layer)

More questions! Anyone know what brand would of been the OEM Main and Big end bearing supplier?

Likewise vr6monkey, I joined up here a while ago but never actually got round to buying a Corrado until this year :D - I was always a VW chap, but seemed to have a lot of Golfs. I'm in the same boat on Facebook as well, I was sick of the general cr@p people put up... I don't need to see what people have had for dinner or how cool their (probably not) wonderful life is. This place is great, very helpful I'll update my build thread soon too ;)

Spend the money you'd of spent on CDX and float 22mm engineered oak on Timber-Mate Gold - there is no tapping or hollow sounding from that ;)

AUM is 150bhp AUQ is the 180 motor ;) Purely the map, both ran the KO3S turbo. I'd say Jabba Sport for the remap....

Cheers Dox, yeah could be worth a shot! ;) Are the poly ones this sorta thing? https://www.vwheritage.com/wc40785280-front-lower-engine-mounting-bush So you replace rubber and keep the metalwork on the stock mount?

Geessss they're pretty expensive!

Morning GF - much appreciated, I think I'll head down a similar path ;) - really dont want to compromise cabin comfort, to old for that nowa days! lol

Anyone run vibra-technics engine mounts? or do other items such as R32 ones fit? Wondering if its worth uprating them, but don't want to shake the windscreen out...

I was wondering this?

Gesss fellas your supposed to be droolling over the 'fresh out of the parts washer Corrado crank' and the stripped down VR6 block! not the Porkers LOL! :D Guess the Google photos are working then?

Hi GF I'm not 100% sure on the Gulf car to be honest... it looked a bit like a 'bitza' in all honesty... only the nasty super charger bodge job caught my eye... there was a lot of other exotica up there that drew me away such as the CTR, the F40 and the 200+MPH Terminal Velocity 911 that my mate built. ;) And of course there was some VW exotica keeping me busy such as these beauties! and the nice lamp stand Unfortunately its not my shop, he's based at Silverstone - if you're every that way I'm sure if he's not busy he'd be happy to let you have a look at the cars - there was a 918 there a while back too

Really good video! - top find

Soory GF I thought you meant the one up in the air ;) that is a CTR3, I'll get some better pics next time... there was a 993 GT2 and also the slightly less desirable but I'd still have it 996 GT2 there ;)

Hi GF Its a Ruf CTR3 one of these http://my.is/forums/f104/real-world-pics-ruf-ctr3-teamspeed-413184/ Its pretty quick ;) - modified over the 700bhp standard CTR3 Oh sorry... in the background!!! its not... I seem to remember its 993 but not a GT2 - its had some odd supercharger setup installed thats about to be pulled out along with a full rebuild and repaint... ;) Its been sat a long time...

AHA! Top stuff Jim!

Hmmm its rubbish... for google photos there seems to be a heap of different answers on the web but none seem to work.... Is there anyway to add pictures to the forum and they appear as pictures and not attachments?
