only just remembered had thread on here

rado lives on. normally stays in the gararge going nowhere polished up, but thought id give it a thrashing in the grim weather :clap:

burgundy l reg rado low on 17's parked up on victoria rd, thornton cleveleys last few nights. just at the end of my road :D

also a dark coloured, presume vr, reg k* vrg or summat, on the road towards richmond from yarm i think, last monday, probs about 11am :salute:

nice low and wide aqua blue example on blackpool prom at about 4.30 today, opposite north pier. on 16" kersher cramona i think. typically 1st time i spot one for about a year, im in the mk3 :roll:

black h reg valver at playfootball blackpool on weds about 8.45. on tsw stealths. mine was tucked uop at home otherwise id have parked infront

one day i WILL get spotted. mind you more than 10 miles a week would help :cuckoo:

lovely clean black h reg g60 on blackpool rd in preston at maybe 7.10pm? standard body, but low and on 7.5 and 9x16 borbet a's. sounded lovely. i was just withdrawing wheel cash at the lloyds cash machine :lol:

very nice. looks mint

give it ten years, the new rocco will look more dated than the rado...if ya get me :lol:

looks minty 8)

thats exactly what ive been wanting to do with mine for the last year :lol: never get round to it though. ive got the same brace too. its kust bare metal in the back of mine

yea it is. ive found the only thing that keeps it red is mer polish. one side is freshly painted courtesy of some dippy bird driving into it, and luckily that was the tatty side, so the rest looks well enough :lol:

dont get rid mr greeny :sad:

nope, not really! :D love it as it is. love my valvers, and the way it looks is spot on.

hi folks. been on here a while. owned my 1 and only corrado for the last 4 years. thought it was time i put a pic or ten up :lol:

been through many different styles since i bought it. about 20 different sets of rims too :norty: . but now im happy with it.

quick spec overview:

1990 corrado 16v in tornado red

full custom sports exhaust, modded airbox, tweaked k-jet etc blah blah

lowered on fk highsports

8x15 bbs rm wheels with 195/45 tyres

15mm fk spacers on rear

side mouldings removed

red tinted rear lights

rear interior totally stripped (both for fun on the rd and for carting work stuff around if need be 8) )

momo steering wheel

pool ball gear knob

err....think thats it

future plans are to tidy up the rest of the paint that i havent had sorted already, and some form of different front seats. not much really. i love it as it is :clap:

any feedback welcome :wink:

you can buy them but its easier to buy the whole dizzy. they aint that expensive new from specialists. next time it does it, check you deffo dont have a spark. 8)

hi folks. i drive a 1.8 16v rado. ive had it comin up to 4 years now. its been perfect apart from the odd expected niggle, and still is. its driven most days, and as is stripped out it is pleasantly quick and nimble 8) . but as it gets older, i have started to get thoughts about what to do engine wise when this one inevitably starts to get tired (i think!). ive looked into 16v turbo (cool idea, but im no mechanic to keep it in in order), and 20v turbo (too pricey :shock: ). i always come back to the 2litre 9a bottom end idea. would still run it on kjet for a while. my mate has a mk2 golf with throttle bodied 9a and to drive its amazing, but the cash he spunked put me off for now at least. ive searched for this, and have found loads of talk about bhp and more torque, but my question is does it FEEL any quicker? is it worth shelling out for?

cheers in advance

does anyone on here still run k-jet with a 16v turbo like the turbo technics kit? :?

the 2litre 9a bottom end will go near enough straight in. you can use your original head. or a 2litre mk3 golf abf bottom end will go in but its a bit more involved :)

lookin good. your in the same boat as me with the respray requirement. :D

very nice. :notworthy:
