So really need to start getting some updates in, been a hecktick few months with the new house and been having issues so anger has stopped me wanting to post.
So as the story goes, I built up the head I had spent time working on, all skimmed etc, to then find when built up the cams wouldn’t turn due to it being warped. So that was that scrapped.
Luckily I found an ABF head with 276inlet and 288exhaust cams going cheap, so snapped it up, was in mind condition so dropped straight on and painted bits up and now my engine turns over lovely with 3.5mm valve clearance.
Built the engine up and dropped her in, and as it pretty much stands now..
Megajolt trigger wheel in…
Valvetrain cover painted up.
And the last little edition is the momo wheel, and also have a rear ARB.
So this is where the corrado stands at the moment, am fabricating the carb manifold, have sorted the new exhaust manifold. Bit that’s holding up the show is the wiring as its not my strong point… but its getting there, all be it slowly…
In other news, I’ve brought a new car for me and the misses to share. After lots of looking about I have managed to pick up a solid, fairly tidy (has a dented bum unfortunately, but not bad) mk2 golf 5dr gti 8v.
Picking it up on Saturday and cant wait to get stuck in and do some work to it. Needs lifting abit as its stupidly low, other than that it’s a good car, ready to go.
Im terrible keeping these things updated, but now I have 2 classic dubs I have no excuse, so will keep updated from now on in. Drop me some replys guys
