Corrado Track Car

that looks really nice :)

 

i was rereading all the brake comments from when the thread first went up. having done open pit lane at brands on thursday i realised that my 288s with Redstuff pads were beginning to fade due to heat after about 18-20mins. however, i think with as much weight taken out as you've done there then you should be fine for a fair while longer than that.

 

keep the updates coming!

I agree. That's looking pretty impressive so far. I think you've got a lot of work to complete and have it running by August though! Keep up the good work!

Nice one!

 

When are you out there in August?

We're (16 of us) are out there from 13th - 17th, its pretty much the only weekend that has nigh on full days both Sat and Sun.

If your out there that weekend we should meet up 8)

 

Cheers Pete.

Here again, same as last year. Great hotel and theyve got a games room :grin:

 

Bit of a trek up the hill when youve had a few tho! But worth it when you get there just for the view 8)

No, its up the hill at the top of Adenau, theres loads to choose from just that i had a good time here last year so thought id rebook.

 

Anyhow..... :grin:

 

Started on the windows today

 

 

 

the P4P back window fit perfectly, although i did have a bit of an 'incident' all is well now.

The slider even works on the front window!

Good work mate i bought my car just to use on a track but after a few weeks liked it so much i cudnt pull it apart to use on a track :( ,so still on the hunt for a mk 2 golf lol

Carried on today, nearing completion......

 

Finished putting the windows in with the vents/intake. Fitted the baffled sump, changed the fuel/oil filter. Going to order some decent Millers oil now and fill it up with some good stuff!

 

Still the sunroof hasnt arrived and ive got to order the bonnet off them yet....

 

[onzlouk 0]

Just the doorcards to finish now tomorrow, bought a great big piece of alloy sheet to do them.

Fitted the aerocatches today and the sunroof panel fiiiiiiinally arrived so got that straight on.

 

Going for mot this week coming and booked in at Silverstone on 16th July!

 

The sunroof took so long that i decided to stick with my original bonnet for now, ive cut a few vents in and completely stripped the underneath of it, has made it a lot lighter so im relatively happy.

 

Filled up with Mobil motorsport 15W50, water wetter and fuel treatment.

Plastic windows finished and fitted my aircon

Got some Yellowstuff R pads, 4motion fitment.

aaannnnd a Sparco helmet on the way

 

 

These quick easy projects eh?!

crikey this is coming along really well :salute:

 

very jealous, i need one of these with space for the kids :)

[onzlouk 0]

Doorcards all done, still waiting for the adhesive number plate....Quite happy with them, not too difficult to do just time consuming. I've still got plenty of alloy sheet left if anybody wants a go :wobble:

Oops, looks like they need a clean too! Not sure what to do about door pulls, i might just leave it as is. The red cord you can see is what you pull to open the door from the inside 8)

Good work! Are you going to weight it?

[onzlouk 0]

Yeh i might drop into the local EMR, theyve got a weigh bridge at the door. Was just wondering today what it weighs as its been on a serious diet!

What roof panel did you go for??, interested as my roof is borked and im deciding as to what direction to take, ive tried 3 different s/h roof mech and all have fooked up within a week or so, deciding if im just going to do away with the thing, its weight right where you dont bloody want it anyhow!!

Ive totoally missed this thread, good job. If I stop racing the bikes Id live to do this. Who did the cage for you? Would look great with some tinted headlamp protectors. Ive got a pair lying about if your interested.

Its the performance trrim fibreglass panel, just a thin sheet thats slightly oversized for the hole, riveted and bonded in place. Easy :grin:

I got the cage as a kit from Custom cages, CL4 kit i think it was, then just added a harness bar to it.

What do the protectors look like? got a pic??

1x lambda sensor, 1x rewired fog light ( i might have over stripped the electrical system :nuts: ) and some new poly axle bushes and were good to go, all motd up!
