30k Mile Build Thread...

Ok explain this...Can R32 arms fit with the spindals? Any modes needed? IM me so not to clutter your thread.

What's the advantage of using R32 control arms?

They're Aluminum.

[TheBurninator]

They're Aluminum.

AND.... more caster

[dogger]

AND.... more castor

and more caster

[VRT]

But do they just bolt on or moding needed? I know what the Benifits are.

Needed bracket for R32 a-arm swap. The R32 a-arm doesn't have a bung for the sway bar end link. The TT a-arm does, but it is also on the front of the a-arm. Corrado's are on the back of the a-arm.



This mounts to the bottom of the a-arm sandwiched under the ball joint nuts. (ball joint on top of a-arm, bracket underneath).

Unfortunately, the Mk4 R32/Mk1 TT arms are not aluminum. They are actually cast iron. Mk2 TT are aluminum but the rear bushing mounts totally different.

Being that these arms are cast iron, the rear spherical bearings need to be turned down a bit more. The cast iron arm doesn't give a c-hair, so fit is critical.

With the combination of arm and camber/caster plates I should have quite a bit more of caster to take advantage of.

False Advertising! That looks too shiny for aluminium.

Oops, it'd be nice if they were aluminum.

[SLC4EVER]

Faux aluminum.

Fooluminum?

We got a lot of work done on this over the weekend. Took video but I'm sure Dave wouldn't be happy if I posted it.

It must be embarrassing....you should post a link on FB then, its much safer there.

[SLC4EVER]

LMAO!!!

You just reminded me of SNL - Bosley Hair Resto. YouTube it. I think I pee'd myself.

[dogger]

That was so funny. Glad you were awake to see it.

[INA]

email, pm , call fox , fax....whatever
get back to me tonight

[SLC4EVER]

Finally....had some time to work on this thing. Spherical bearings are in and smooth as butter. Stoked!

Trying to figure out what to do with these...

[DUBZAK]

Send to me if they are taking up too much space.

[dogger]

Looks like it will be next summer at best when this car is running again....

[SLC4EVER]

Just some bullshi tuchen.

You are pretty optimistic today James

[SLC4EVER]

Him of all people should know, these things take time.

The majority of the time it takes is finding services that you trust as well as doing what they say they are going to do in the time they say they are going to do it.

I have zero patience these days for crappy service or lack luster response. It's one thing to be busy, I understand that. But if that's the case, let me know so I can plan accordingly. So I am trying not to rush things or expect someone else to as it never seems to end in my favor.

Would be cool to be done in time for summer, but it's not looking good.

[dogger]

Things like this take work. Don't make me post the videos of what happened when I came down there to help you do some work. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[CuRide]

[s.l.c.]

Heres for your four updates Dave

Amen.

Louis don't fall for Dave's bullsh!t. He's been vacationing and doing other stuff while his Corrado sits in pieces in the garage. Its now the latest addition to his collection of cars in pieces.

[SLC4EVER]

Hey, it was a work induced vacation and it's more fun than collecting stamps.

[sdezego]

The most interesting thing posted here recently is that I had no idea Ferrea was based out of Ft Lauderdale

So, what is the hold up. Head work?


Edit: aside from this of course...

[Krazee]

Head work?

hmmm

[SLC4EVER]

So, what is the hold up. Head work?

Fabrication and machine work. My usual shop is good...which means they are really busy.

[SLC4EVER]

In the spirit of constant change...meaning "changing my mind". I added this to the collection today.









Still going to BV my original head since I have the parts now. I'll decide what to run later.

I was going to swap the OE shift box today for a Neuspeed box I have had. But with only 30k miles on the original box and cables I decided to swap just what I needed to.

Lemme know if you want to get rid of the Neuspeed box
