Very nice rado there... those kerschers are sweet! hope to see you and ya rado at a meet soon!

ME THINKS YOU MIGHT QUALIFY FOR THE 9'S CLUB TOOO!!!!

I do like a good Rado and that one looks like a good un.

Sweet ride sheila, can't wait to see it in the flesh and meet a new fellow nomad.

Well with the Golf taking up a lot of attention, she's had to take a back seat for a while, well a week and my did she not like that. As Steve wanted to spend the day on the Golf, I needed the Rado to get to work. She didnt want to start did she, I know I should have popped back to garage and started her up every morning and it wont happen again. It took us the best part of an hour to get her going She is called Christine to us as she is very mischievous
She is having a front wheel bearing replaced on Friday as the Carmonas will be going back on at the weekend, and think Ill get the tracking done while Im at it.
MidsDub are doing a photoshoot and we want her looking smart so a good wash and polish Friday too Im off to get the Rado started and get the interior cleaned

Ive put a deposit on an engine for the Rado, 1.9 16v pushing almost 170 bhp, its a beaut full list of specs will be posted soon as I cant remember everything he said he'd done to it It was one of those offers that dont come up often and is too good to refuse

Took some quick pics of the engine thats going in, While we were there on Friday, as promised some details too:
kr 1.8 bottom end bored to 1.9 using 9a pistons, decked block to return standard compresion ratio.
large port head with stage 3 port and polish
schrick cams
lightened flywheel
black samco water hoses
detailed black rocker and inlet
painted block
magnicor 8mm ignition leads
It has had more done but thats all i can remember for now

thats lovely. i want that inlet manifold.

very pretty!! do like a pretty engine!

Right due to some cash issues the Engine was slightly delayed but Im happy to announce that it is IN!!!! and fitted with a 4 branch so has a nice growl to it now too. Taking it to Stealth next weekend for a Wurmod and rr tune. Yay things are moving again.

Cool stuff.
