I've got the B12 kit (B8 & Eibach springs) and bought via Larkspeed. I had the issue with the rear springs and larkspeed handled the comms with Eibach. Both Eibach and Larkspeed were aware and I had new springs sent out from Eibach within a week. I didn't ever fit the incorrect ones but have seen on facebook where some have. Some cars look normal with them and others look like they are sitting down on their rear wheels. My car sits equally all round, perhaps a touch nose down but that matches stock setup. The eibach kit can be used on all corrados, so I'm guessing the original spec springs were for the early cars with their smaller fuel tank where as the revised springs cater for the later cars with a heavier fuel tank. Don't know really though and I'm just guessing.

Love that picture!

Love it Keyo! Next year I hope to make progress on my 8v GTI, shame it won't rev out as much as the 16v but should be good enough for me. I liked the colour of it. Plan to put Newman 268 cams in mine

Nice paint job :) I still haven't put my interior in. Chasing a leak and trying to tidy all the wires etc. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

VX Tuning ones look better if you want to use them as fogs for sure. I think the plastic ones are an alternative to those plastic Hella covers

Yeah they are plastic. Fine by me though as never use my fogs and they're a fair bit cheaper.

Yeah that's what I am thinking too. Quite a saving! I have a cracked fog on the 16v (still toying with keeping it .... the wife likes that one better than the white one and it would get used as an everyday car).

How much would fog light lenses be? The links above are on sale $100 dollars plus $30 post and I am thinking about buying some.

ooh nice Mini Cooper S. My brother had a R53 and the R56 version, R53 being my fav. Sorry to hear the sale dropped through but hopefully someone else will be back to buy soon. Keyo is right as much as love them all I think I'd like to have a mk5 R32 (manual & 5 door) - something more modern I can use year round but isn't turbo'd or 4 cylinder. I'll shfit on the mk4 golf and a corrado but will keep the mk2 and a corrado. The current fleet require too much of my time to keep sweet - drawning in bodywork and little jobs all the time. I'll probably change my mind!

Ohh what have you replaced it with? Good you sold it though so you can move on. I feel like consolidating some of my cars next year. Scratch some itches before we're electrified in 2030 😄

Wow Chris. This thread delivers indeed. So much want - how do you sell your products - have you got an online shop?. It's great to have you as part of the community. Another outlet for you would be the Corrado Club facebook page as sadly there is more footfall. I hate to direct you there away from the forum as in my opinion this forum is better than facebook at being a forum but please stick around here too as there are some members that don't have facebook. There are certainly for few bits I'd be interested in - fogs, corrado kick trims and headlight glass. It's great you're helping keep the cars on the road as these obsolote parts could be make or break for a car that's had a light crash on the front.

Epic, another one have the full works 🙂 Money pit indeed - i should change my thread title to that too.

Haha yes! Mine was re done yesterday. He got it out without damage and although it rained heavy last night it did not leak. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

No that was me! We've both had bad luck with our screens. In my case the fitter said he'd put a rubber block at the point it cracked so luckily for me he's fitting me a new one for free but I still have the same hassle as making sure my paint is repaired before the new one goes in (as i've had a full repaint too!)

There are few that come now and again but now these cars are 25+ years old it might be worth looking at any VR6 and go on condition. It's possible to get a better spec'd VR6 than a storm and your colour choices open up too.

😄 Well as it is a storm and some folk get excited by them I think it will do better than you'd expect for a 200k car. We can't see much evidence of work done and I've just had a look at the MOT history - minor advisories every year. Personally I would keep on top of them and aim for a clean sheet as the MOT is the minimum standard of repair for our cars.

Thanks Dox. Keyo - 738 miles. Factory fresh indeed - I wonder what people do with tem all these years to not want to use them.

Will be interesting to see what happens with this one for us folk with higher mileage but very well cared for cars. https://www.historics.co.uk/buying/auctions/2020-12-12/cars/ref-1-1995-volkswagen-corrado-storm-dg/

Do like these Gamma units. Keyo - did you happen to notice if the Gamma 4 has an output from an Amp/Sub? I fancy putting something on the left handside of the boot to give a bit more oomph to the sound. Just a nice to have really. I only really listen to the radio to be fair.

The fitter came out and looked at it today and to be fair he was a nice bloke and has fitted a lot of them in past for a local VW garage back in the day. The screen has cracked on one of the rubber blocks he used so he's getting me a new screen and fitting it. Bad luck I think

Well mine was fitted by Jay and Rob windscreens and I'd avoid them. Mine cracked down the middle as soon as I drove it and is leaking on the left hand corner. I did ring master auto glass but they wouldn't supply non trade. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

That looks a good effort Si. I'm hoping to learn fab skills on my Mk2 once i've got my garage built. I want to get the green corrado road worthy and at my house (stored 260 miles away as i was moving house) and have found a place local to where the car is to sort it. Waiting list to early next year though sadly.

You're right there Cressa. There is a great place called wheels in motion but it is a bit of trek from me. Someone else gave me a tip to turn the steering lock to lock, count and note positions and then turn it back to centre. I found the steering wheel seems to off centre following this. I also took the car for a long run up some a roads today and found the steering settles off centre naturally, so any cambers have me steering much more to the right to counter. I think I've concluded the wheel isnt mounted straight and needs taking off and repositioning. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

Hi all, Looking to dip into the cumulative knowledge here. Not the corrado but my mk4 golf. I dont think we have a general non corrado tech section - please mods move if so - thanks. I've had two alignments done at separate places and a clean sheet MOT. New suspension all round, new bushes up front except for the drivers side ball joint. New tyres all round and new discs and pads... ..but none of this has solved an issue where the car positively wonders left when steering straight. I have to put noticeable right steer light pressure on the steering wheel to track straight. It is camber related but more aggressive than what you'd normally expect. At slow speed - say sub 10mph it is fine and steers straight. I've also noticed when I release pressure from counter steering the pull there is a very very gentle wobble on the steering wheel as it goes back to 12 o clock position. I get no wheel balance like wobble at any speed, tyres are new. I should change that ball joint but would that cause an alignment issue? What else can I check?

HI, Gathering bits for my 16v corrado. I understand from research the battery tray panel is NLA (part no 535 803 093). What are people doing for replacements - would the mk3 or mk2 panel fit? Thanks, Matt
