Just read the thread out of interest as have a 16v I either need to sell or do something interesting with and noticed the houses and thought familiar too. I grew up on Friern Barnet Lane (no 22) close to Colney Hatch Lane and had friends that lived in the new housing estate on Colney Hatch Lane. Long time ago now but was there when this posted lol.

Looking smart. I'm pleased to see the professionals use the same technique as me with tigerseal 😄 lol

It is the washer jet as you say

Nice! Seeing this is making me want to keep my mk2 project that I had spent weeks coaxing myself into selling.

Much easier to clean than the usual BBS's as well. I have recaro seat envy. I need a black leather pair to finish off my car. I hope some kind sole reads that and sends me a PM haha.

They are a nice design those BBS's.

You should be fine with it outside. Many garages are damp without airflow and that is far worse than being outside! My Corrado was garaged for 15 years of it's life but I still had some rust repairs to do recently. I have a garage but my other car is in there at the moment and the Corrado lives under a car port now. As long as the plastic door membranes behind the door cars, scuttle panel is clear of debris and sunroof drains clear you should have no problems. Think about some cavity wax protection over time to keep things nice and layer some of the wax over the underside and anywhere water may sit - battery tray for example.

I'm with Gold on this - covers are not good no matter how clean you get the car prior to putting it on or how "padded" or "soft lined" the cover itself is. It will rub on the paint in the wind and cause damage of time. If you have a garage then an indoor cover is good as you're not getting the wind moving it about. I would either invest in a Carcoon (~£600) or leave the car out in the elements and keep it washed and protected. Unfortuantely rather than the rain and snow it's actually the Sun that causes the most damage in my opinion, hail stones aside, although I'm not sure a car cover would protect against that either. The other downside of covers is that they deter you from using the car. Washing and thoroughly drying the car after every single trip gets tiresome quickly. Can you build a car port?

Yeah defo not tilting upwards all the way but seems to slide back ok

I thought it was that car but couldn't find the information on it. Good to confirm

Maybe it is the lighting but the colour doesn't look right - Mystic is meant to have a bit of purple in it - however looking at the inner part of the drviers door it sill has one of the original stickers so perhaps is original paint.

I have bought the voltage reg the repair the fuel and temp gauges on my 16v clocks. The rest of the clocks (speedo. rev etc) all work fine. As Dox says that reg is just for the fuel and temp parts. I believe i blew the reg when testing the fuel pumps with external power.

Still looking sharp and possibly the only BBS style of alloy I like on a Corrado - top work. What are they? 16s I can see they are staggered/

Keyo - your meets seem to have a no paprazzi rule 🤣

Second opinion for the door membranes. Suprising the amount of water than can get passed them if they are not present or damaged.

Good to see you have your car back. Re stereo you probably have an aftermarket stereo so need to swap the yellow and red around to stop the drain, I think it was Dox above that said. I was working on mine the other day- here's pic of the loom and swapped wires. Good Luck! Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

Are you far from Stealth Cressa? If I remember correctly he recommended 268 cams if you had a performance manifold otherwise it must work fine with stock cams also. You'll benefit from their tuning knowledge and have a good amount of comparator cars on his rollers to assess engine health - yours of course is healthy but nice to know! If you were interested in the cams route i know he can fit cams and tune on the same day - he did it for my mate in North Wales. My car has 151k on it, bottom end untouched but top end refurbished. Does have documented full service history but even with that my tensioner was toast when he did the chains.

These will look great on a big bumper mk2

That's a good graph, here's my one on a stock manifold and 263 cams - very different curve. Mine makes 160hp at 4k, shame they are not both in KWs but think that is 120kws. Peak power is 220hp/165KW at 6k but holds a fairly flat peak from 5600-6600rpm. I think vince increased my limiter to 7100

haha! I had on facebook for a while. They were actually your front seats but i dropped the price down the £225 for the whole interior in the end

Sold

Hi, I have an excellent condition late black cloth interior for sale. Cushions are great and no visible wear on the drivers cushions. These are out of a VR6 and have the humped rear. Handles for the seats included but have been removed for storage and handling. I am open to offers but put a price at £325 on my facebook ad. https://photos.app.goo.gl/8cihxKuwPLFaN2R98 Collect from North Hertfordshire / SG8

haha yes good spot! They are a perfect proportion of the Corrado.

Thanks Cressa I will re do mine. Fla here they are. I got them off ebay. I've picked up the embossed corrado black ones so might take them off although I fear I will pull paint off so may not. And one of the car in its half put back together state. Its been back to a shell (engine didnt come out) and I mostly spent time sorting the underside. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

I'm glad you posted both as put mine back in this weekend and didn't think the 1 inch gap looked right on mine. Maybe I have the kick trims on the wrong side as assume the kick trim holds the bottom of the door card too? Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk
