the slowest mk1 build ever....

[dubbed_up_daz]

Selling my corrado due to licence difficulties... and returning to my old mk1 golf 3 dr tin top purely for use as a trackcar in the interim removing the old 1.8 modified KR and using my old A4 20vT engine as a base. Big progress pics as and when wheels and car sell and funds free up but free mods from now till then

[WABIT]

willing to sell the Rado to me?

dom

[Jarred]

ill sell it to anyone with real money lol,the engine from my old audi has been lying split for 2 years now so needs the bores sorted and the head rebuilt and thats where all the corrado cash is going. Selling off all my wheels over 15" to pay for stuff like new arches etc

[dubbed_up_daz]

love it.

sad to see the rado go though!

thank you and me too the chance to reflect on my situation made this make sense though. Its the only way I could build a pretty decent track car out my golf and once thats complete ill start the coup again

[Jarred]

now you're talking!

[dubbed_up_daz]

sold some wheels bought KMS engine management comes with full loom,wideband and ecu. Fully live mappable with the capability for alternate custom maps(dry,wet,strip,road)

[dubbed_up_daz]

threads are useless without pictures I guess....bought this car for my sister as a 17th birthday present nearly 5 years ago,cheap but high mileage(198,000miles) 1.1(fitted with a 1.3 carb)


checking the history that came with it when the 1.3 went in so did a set of rev counter clocks.....car had 44,000miles previously and jumped to 195k!!!


gave it a good clean then put some -50mm springs and shocks on it and a set of wheels for her


then she decided she'd rather have a polo

[dubbed_up_daz]

seeing as it was now mine bought some coils and fitted them


lost fourth gear in the og box and the 5 speed box I found for it came attatched to a polo gt engine digifant,multi point,cam,ported four branch wouldve been rude not too added gti fronts and a full stainless


and chanced across a set of OZ executives


which I refurbed and made wider

[dubbed_up_daz]

close up of wheels


polo gt distributor died so decided to fit the engine from my jetta as it was unsuited to the 16vT route I was planning


bigger brakes(285 black diamonds/pads)for the new engine(its ported and polished,cammed,lightened and balanced,four branched,2.5" jetex rally system,WUR mod)


in


wrapped


bought more wheels


cleaned them


fitted them

[dubbed_up_daz]

bought fun tyres


fitted them


had fun :p

chilled out,fitted my pirelli's for a bit


then back to the exec's for a while


which are a bit tight


:p


seam welded up a pair of new wishbones and powdered up a new front end


and on


lots off hilarity ensued


then the fuel pump died........

[dubbed_up_daz]

so going on previous history obviously fitting a 20v will fix it god help me when that breaks though

Need to change the audi engine a bit to suit transverse but having polished a few 20vT set ups and helping a friend fit a 20vT to a caddy I liked the inline manifold over the transverse and reckon ill get it in so used a spare one I had from when my first engine in that died from sludging which id polished and tried to flog(its been lying for 2 years since anyway)




not worth 100 quid???

fine






had to go through the walls at a couple bits,welding them up and putting a better radius back in as I go


tried to open the throat up as best as possible




up to date pretty much,possibly got another set of wheels away that should pay for the new cage but major engine work is still awaiting the corrado selling

[Cookie28]

Looks awesome so far man, great work and I wish I had your skills with the engine work

[GoLfMan]

WINNER! Thats the ticket, should be a mean little bugger once its done

[dubbed_up_daz]

cheers,hoping so
