Nice one, my fprum name is the same and I'm on CF rather alot so you cant miss me on there :D

Thanks mate. Are you on the Corrado forum? If not you should join up ( its free ) www.corrado-forum.net

Well thought its about time I done a up date on the car. New things so far: Half tinited rear lights Tinted side repeaters Coilovers Powder coated inlet manifold Inlet cam off a VW 1.8 16v ( KR code ) engine which has more duration so smoother top end Adjustments to the fueling and...

Ok then, looks like I'm going to have to dig in my pockets

I know some where, where I can get the right paint to match. I just want the bits I've done to blend in. So no matter how much polishing I do it wont blend in then? :(

Well this winter has taken its toll on my Corrado :( first top mounts went, then ARB link broke now I've got little patches of rust apearing around the arch. So whats the best way of removing it then making the paint after blend in. Sanding it right down to bare metal, treat with anti rust...

For some reason the 2lt 16v and 1.8 16v Corrados all came with 256mm front discs. but the other version came with 280mm So just going to up grade to 280mm as its straight forward swap :D using VW parts

Had new brakes put on the back over the weekend with new bearings as well. Before Trying to removed rounded off bolt on the carrier :nuts: This is the state the discs were in :shock: Ooooooh Shiney :nuts: And final result Can all ready feel...

Preaty much the same since I brought it, some times it will go through more some times less. but there never seams to be anything to conect why it needs more some week then others.

Does it need rebuilding? Probably not. Like I said was only getting a rough idea. No the car doesnt have a undertray. Each week I have to top up the oil and its fallen about 1cm or so on the dip stick. But cant work out where it is going :( But the car runs just like new and has nothing...

Thanks for that waynne I best start saving then :lol:

Thanks for the budy. I'm not to worryed about it as I know it is a old car and will have oil leeks, but I plan to keep this car for a very long time as I belive it will become a classic, so want to keep it in tip top condition. So the best (cheapest :D ) bet would be to get a reconditioned...

Here is a video of some idiots. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lvp-MMsSleQ But people do seam to forget how to drive in the snow.

Just want to get an idea of cost for an engine rebuild. My car has nearly covered 90,000K and is almost 16 years old and I’m loosing oil some where :( but no blue smoke, mayo or any oil spots on the ground. Would it be wise to just get the head rebuilt or the bottom rebuilt or all over it...

Try cleaning the Carb. I had a simalar probolem with my golf, just sprayed some carb cleaner in it ( engine off) let is soak for a bit then start the engine, do this a few times. should help

A little video of my mates VR. Its the green one in the first pic http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTPZQ4taMNA&feature=player_embedded He got 183 Bhp out of a standard VR, but would of gotton about 190 if it wasnt so low, as it was fowling the rollers :p

My Car went on a Rolling road yesterday as the corrado club had a rolling road day at stealth racing in warwrick. My car made 146.7 Bhp @ 6188 rpm and 140 lbft @ 4363 rpm, at the Flywheel Not bad when you concider when it rolled out the factory 15 years ago with 136 Bhp and all I have done...

On a good well serviced charger you can get round about 14-15psi as standard. but the charger needs to be serviced regualy to keep it in top condition my 2p If you need any my Corrado info im your man :D

Had a small silencer box removed from from the exhuast system yesterday :D Got a lovely growl now it also stoped the anoying rattle i was getting And I've got new rubber on the front. A set of vredestein Sportrac 3, a very good tyer grippy as hell

:bigsmile:

I agree old school cars dont need anything doing to the out side apart from a respray :D Eventualy I might go down the charged root but not shore yet

The car has only done 82K miles and runs sweat as a nut. I've got a few planes for it, going to keep it looks as standard as possible on the out side but change a fw things in the car. Lower suspension, bigger brakes, full exhuast system, higher lift inlet valve, cold air feed, re-map and...

Chears it was a steel, I should of payed more for i got :D

It doesnt sound any louder at low revs but above 4k it has a slighter higher note. When idling it has a nice purrrr. Going to have one of the silencer boxes removed just to bring the volume up a bit :D

Thanks HAHA YA lowering is on the cards, but fitting bigger breaks then a new cam first. Then im lowering it 40mm at the fromt 60mm at the back and im going to replace every part of the suspension :D

Thanks :bigsmile:

It might be, but i looked under tha car and tryed to move it but it wasnt easy. I also looked for anything loose it could be vibrating against but there wasnt anything

Hi I've just had a magnex back box put on my car and also I removed a part of the air box which reduces intake noise. Sinse I've done that their has been a strange noise when the car is underload at low revs, but I put the part of the air box back in just to hear the exhuast on its own and...

Got a Magnex exhuast fitted yesterday. Looks and sounds great :D

I think the corrado has aged well compaired to most cars of the say year

:D The new sirocco is an ok car I would say no to one, but its missing something the old one has. It wasnt built by Karmann there, is something Karmann brings to the table VW will never be able to add to the car. If VW remake the corrado it wont be that good but if they use Karmann to...

It has to be the Corrado :D Looks like it could kill, it drives like its on rails, still stands out even tho its a 20 year old car and every corrado owner will tell you there is something about that car that will keep you coming back for more. It has a good choice of engines too...

:amazed: :) a roco very nice, not as good as my Corrado tho :D haha Na looks very good, and the car :cheesy: You should look at joining the roco club, as they are sort of twined with the corrado club and have double meets and stuff like that which are great fun. Plus if you have any...

No I dont. All i know is its got more lift than the standard inlet cam. Brought it off another Corrado owner. He brought it for his car along with a top cam cover (thingy), but didnt realise a cam set cam with the cover. So he sold it to me for £20

Picked up a KR Cam today, hopfully get it fitted some point soon

Re: Just brought a Corrado Picked up a KR Cam today, hopfully get it fitted some point soon

Haha if you say so :P put the Corrado next to the new scirocco its not a compotision, the corrado wins every time :D BUT Put the new Scirocco next to any new car then the Scirocco wins every time

Re: Just brought a Corrado Haha if you say so :P put the Corrado next to the new scirocco its not a compotision, the corrado wins every time :D BUT Put the new Scirocco next to any new car then the Scirocco wins every time

Thanks guys Not really got any plane apart from the usal corrado stuff, up grade the wipers to either Lupo or TT wipers, upgrade the breaks to G60 ones. Picking up a KR inlet cam this week (not going to fit it straight away) havent realy thought what out
