  1. Hello, Anyone ever put a oil pressure gauge in they're C? I have a 2ltr 16v k reg and would prefer a gauge rather than the light.

    Winter time! Pulled engine and box out to have box rebuilt. When it all goes back together want to build a new supercharged motor for it. Dont have a lot of room left under the bonnet though so might build a standard (whatever that means) motor for the Corrado.
  4. 30's? Duesemberg (think thats how it's spelt) in haynes museum. Awesome piece of kit but needs 454 chevy motor under the hood and slamin on the floor. Saw one car in the states when i was real young that was the only one left in the world. The guy was trying to rebuild it looking at old photos of others. 1936 Ford roadster Saw a RHD!!!! 37 Cord on a trailer at a show once. It was hangin as you can see on this site. http://andysaunderskustoms.freeservers. ... ord812.htm
  5. Got a rumble and slight knock in the front left hand corner. Worse when turning right. It's not the wheel bearing as i've done it recently. Could it be the cv joint? Makes a real loud knock when reversing left hand down but only once each time. Craig.
  6. Why take a car that looks mint standard and do this? The bloke should be put back in the zoo with the rest of the chimps.
  7. Took the Anglia to the hot rod drags this weekend. Saw a couple of Corrados there and a white one on the way home headin south on the M5. M3 rear lights and private reg (i think). I'm sure i've seen a pic of it on here.
  8. Right! wouldn't just go and buy one but would love to build and drive these! Every time i see this car i love it more! The work in it is unbelievable! Look at the lines on the body! stunning! Or just give me sumat like this and i'll do the rest.
  9. My hot rod waiting for the new carb to be fitted and my dad's tv 200 lambretta.

  13. Went for a butchers round the local yard yesterday and saw a scirocco gt auto. Is the auto gearbox common? Is there such a thing as a corrado auto from the factory? Craig....

    G-TEC

    2.0 16v bog standard but may have a bit more acceleration cause the overall wheel and tyre diameter is smaller than standard.

    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/G-Tec-performance ... dZViewItem Got one of these, haven't tried it in the C yet but went out in the Anglia and did a few quarter mile runs. Having a go tomorow to see what the old corrado will run. i'm guessing 18 seconds maybe 19 or is that to fast? watch this space.

    I have only seen 3 in Frome. I would of thought there would be more after all the "i want one of these" comments.

    hydraulic tappets

    Which oil is best? it has 15w 40 semi syn in it at the mo but it's only halfords own. Also do you have to worry about the oil filter in the later 2l 16v's? VW/Bosh filter? Craig

    The wheels are TSW Pace 17" They were on it when i bought it. Looked in a mag and they wouldn't be my first choise either but when i saw them on the car they did look nice. Wouldn't mind some 18" or some euro style deep dish wheels and slam it on the floor. Still, we can all dream.

    I've had the Anglia for 5 years now. Bought it as a rolling shell and just went from there. It has a tuned 2.9 Granada v6. want to put a jag supercharger on it at some point. Goes round corners like a fridge in a wheelbarrow though.
