Twin 1.8T Corrado. Nothing to see, move along

pmsl ^ ^ ^

It was in a dream of mine, i thought oh bugger , how sad lol .

 

i have the same trouble trying to get through doors with my love handles

 

what a fat rear, yes like it's owner





moved the front brake flexi mounts



4 pots fit under easy


Plumbers nightmare




Heat shielding around the rack and steering shaft




P/S pipes sheilding



Rear ic from underneath inc 2 new fans

 

Is that a ferrari over on the right? ^ ^

Yeah your right nice & fat. Will your suspension setup have scope for extra adjustment?

 

PMSL at the Fandango wheels vid

Liking the first pic and the tubular subramey parts and good to see some more progress!






Is there going to be a pie store? Chop out the doors and rack them in there?

 

awesome daz.

took me a minute to figure out the plumbing nightmare. 2 x clutches, plus 4 brake lines! pain in the **** indeed.

you thought about a co2 kit for the rear rad/intercooler? could be just the ticket to keep things cool.

can't wait to see the next progress.

 

Its a Lotus, absolute bag of s**t

What kind of adjustment you thinking of?

 

Ive decided that unless I get it up and running, it will never be finished. So the idea is to build it and once running (on track) I can alter and add things as required. I was going to but some 2 piece discs for the rear so I could run 305mm discs, because of the cost Im just going to use the seat 323mm discs all round and add pressure reducers as well as the bias valves on the rear.

 

Camber / Castor etc

 

more of the tube work

 

Plenty of adjustment camber wise, Ill fit adjustable top mounts on the front once its been used on the track, not a lot of scope for adjustable mounts on the rear as the towers are too restrictive in size

 

Phat.

 

Good update Daz, suprised someone hasn't mentioned that the rear tyres are on the wrong way around

 

You anorak they have when the walk into the workshop, the tyres have to come off the rims for the rims to be painted, they were just thrown on for now.

I bet you were very good at screen test

 

looking ace !

 

screen test, bwahahahah how old are you

 

Lazy tvv@t... you should have far more done than that by now.

 

Too busy on the phone at silly oclock, diagnosing electrical faults on an OZ A4, and paying for the call

 

Im getting the front engine ready to go in this afternoon

 

Just goes to show how taking so long to build a car can cause problems, I advertised for 2x sold 228mm flywheels but had no replies, so I decided to use the twin mass flywheels I have until they fall apart and then change them at a later date. Ive just gone to find the clutch and flywheel that had only done 18k, only to find I binned it months ago thinking it was an old TDi unit


Also found two bottom ball joints and rod ends I bought last year, even though I bought them again last week

Fecking money pit

Anyway, Ive just ordered a new 228mm flywheel from the dealer, 88 + VAT but they will give me 15% as I use them a lot, also got a new VR6 clutch kit coming tomorrow

Wanted to get the front engine in today as well [:^(]
