Title: Mk3 Golf GTI, on schmidt's, lowered, G60 conversion
Post by: Rob_g60 on 28 January 2011, 21:23: as my corrado corrado is now of the road and will be for sometime, so i need a car, i found a MK3 Golf GTI in black in norwich for £400 has a mot but no tax, its not in the best condition, but for £400 you cant go wrong

so today got started on making it run and look better

1st thing was to go was the front badge

new grill

(http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o63/Rob_FR/Corrado/DSCF1762.jpg)

(http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o63/Rob_FR/Corrado/DSCF1765.jpg)

brakes were shot so needed replacing

(http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o63/Rob_FR/Corrado/DSCF1767.jpg)

next was a major service

(http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o63/Rob_FR/Corrado/DSCF1769.jpg)

next it was the coilovers and wheels of the corrado and put on the mk3 (all new coilovers will be going on the corrado)

next was the big job of getting the wheels to fit when lowered, so bye bye arches

(http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o63/Rob_FR/Model%20cars/DSCF1824.jpg)

(http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o63/Rob_FR/Model%20cars/DSCF1823.jpg)

Title: Re: Mk3 Golf GTI, on schmidt's, lowered
Post by: ian_GTI on 21 February 2011, 22:36: You can get the 3m carbon fibre wrap on eBay if you only need a small amount, I got mine through work as we have a graphic studio but the min order is 100cm x 122cm at around £40

Make sure you get the 3m stuff as the cheaper stuff is just a carbon print

Also you will need a heat gun or a hairdryer so you can stretch it to get a smooth finish on the corners

Post by: Rob_g60 on 29 April 2011, 20:41: Well what a long day, story for the past few weeks, closer look into the corrado the floor is rotten and will cost to much to bring back :cry:

So now it's going to turn into mk3 golf G60,

Started today with the brakes so it's now sporting Brembos of a Ibiza mk3 cupra R there 305s will add pics later

Next job is to strip the engine new water pump cambelt etc, then fit it

Some people mite say why you fitting a g60 engine with 160 bhp well it's had a fair few pounds at G Werks spent on it and in the corrado was running 265 bhp,

Well that's the story so far il keep u updated

Sad times for the 'rado :cry:

Title: Re: Mk3 Golf GTI, on schmidt's, lowered
Post by: ian_GTI on 29 April 2011, 21:18: Well what a fun day :rolleyes:

The disks on the brembo's where catching on the bottom ball joint so we came up with the idea of using the corrado hubs (corrado was running vr6 hubs) so after stripping them off the radio, the first attempt at putting them on the mk3 wasent as stright forward as we thought. So after a few hours and some modding all is on and running sweet.

Because of the radio hubs it has widened the track about 20mm and brought the front wheels slighty forward and the end resault looks fantastic :)

I only took a before and after pic as we didn't have time to stop and take any.

Post by: ian_GTI on 11 July 2011, 21:03: No not a easy job mate, even more so with robs charge cooler setup, we had to put the battery in the boot to make room for the cooler

Also had to make a custom wiring loom half G60 have golf

Change from rod to cable gear change

Change from cable clutch to hydro clutch

Mix and match engine mounts from both

Flip the rad upside down as the water pipes are on the wrong side

Plus loads of little bits of custom stuff

Finding a G60 lump is not easy.

as said finding a good G60 engine is not easy, as for the conversion i have lost alot of hair, in no way is it easy, loom were a b!tch, going from a hydraulic clutch from cable took abit of playing with and making the cable gear linkage fit of the corrado fit the golf and getting the chargecooler rad to fit was hard, same with the oil cooler and last was my boost pipe wont fit with the battery in so thats now in the boot

Post by: ju571n on 24 August 2011, 19:52: Thats cool man, good work.

How did you get your fronts that low?? mine is equal out back. Did you do away with the arch liner and rolled the front too and did away with the helper springs?? lowering top mounts??

Just wondered as thats my next job on the list.

Post by: DanChave on 07 September 2011, 23:21: Cheers man, I'm gonna go scrap yard hunting at the weekend :smiley: how did you vent it? any chance you could post up a pic?
Title: Re: Mk3 Golf GTI, on schmidt's, lowered, G60 conversion
Post by: ian_GTI on 10 September 2011, 19:39: Yeah was real easy todo it, A mate lol

You can vent the battery if it has a vent output just run a pipe to the vent behind the bumper. But it's best to use a dry cell battery as they don't need venting and will never leak as there solid state (no battery acid in them)

Run a power cable to the starter from the battery (don't use audio cable) welding cable is the cheapest though

Then earth the battery in the boot (make sure you strip the paint off so its bare metal)

For the other small power cables coming off the battery terminal just use a junction box and tuck them away under the bonnet somewhere
Thats pretty much it mate
