    Taking my Corrado off the road soon to sort a few bits and bobs, and I've been thinking...

    How hard is it to AWD a Corrado?? Has anyone on here done this?!

    Any advise would be great - I don't want to start something I can't finish!


    Cheers!

    Cheers, I'll take a look!

    I'm thinking more along the 'normal' AWD system, with just one engine!!

    The 20vt is Jason from Peterborough (forgot name) knocks about with James (Jabbasport MK2 20VT)

    Goes to 1/4 with us and ran a 10.71 1/4 at 10 of the best.

    The 16vt 4wd was at Performance VW Photo shoot 5 years ago with us there is a video of it on the PVW Website Videos next to mine !! lol

    The 4wd corrado from Peterborough is owned by Mark Gunns, he is good friends with one Mr Michael Truluck( Jabbasport) . The 4wd system is off S3 with modifications. he was in one of the vw mags back of last year (sorry cant remember whch one ) look out for him and hopefully for quicker times this year at Santa Pod!

    Blimey, just checked out the thread on your project mate, looking very nice indeed! I think I'm slowly being inspired to have my Corrado off the road longer than expected...!

    Any huge problems along the way!?

    :thumbup: :clap:

    So then... anyone got a spare Syncro boot kicking around in the shed?

    Phat, I couldn't see anywhere in the other thread any problems with getting the rear diff on - did the syncro one just bolt up?!

    problems, not with the 4wd no, just the rest of the car!

    yes, once it's converted to a sycnro it'll all bolt in. tank, prop, rear axle, the lot.

    I don't think the silly dialynx quattro was much quicker than that.

    Did it ever break 10's? i know it got close.
