  1. Only 151Ib/ft, my 16v has almost 152Ib/ft :wink: 1.8?? or 2.0??
  2. decent suspension and the V6 changes completely same with the GSI's to be honest- nice set of firm springs and shocks, strut brace and it changed the car completely :D
  3. they dont really drive like most vw's though even though they are based on golf and passat bits they have a unique feel to them. comfortable yet sporty and chuckable the easiest way to convert you would be take a look at the galleries on here 8) they can be costly to maintain but not as costly as the g60 or vr6 as the chargers cost a lot to repalce if they go bang and need to be overhauled every 60k to stop them going bang and the vr's lump can cost a lot to repair as well but if they are well maintained they are very rewarding one i'm looking at is FSH AFAIK speed isn't my prime concern- but it's nice to know its there if you know what i mean- and as for build quality- i know its no contest. ;) will wait and see what the man comes back to me with me thinks ;)
  4. lmao @ above It's a Gsi- and all bar throttle bodies and cams, theres not much else left to be done to then engine - it's a lot more potent than it sounds (151lb/ft) ;) good for twice the speed limit and some more for good measure. Only reason i'm considering changing it is i fancy a change (had 14 cars in 3 years) - and ever since getting blown away by a Storm :D:D several years ago, always wanted one
  5. 138ish BHP More than i was expecting :D I know how VW's in general drive and the Corrado just looks sooo damn cool- bit of a downer on the tuning potential- but still - worth a shout me thinks. What about serving costs/parts?? Obviously theres G&S, but how are the dealers and supplying stuff at a nice price- i get trade at vaux, so really don't fancy getting raped on service parts lmao
  6. Hi guys- i'm after some Corrado stats- basically i've been offered a 1.8 H plater which is mint all bar a overheating issue (not really an issue, but still ) What i want to know is- what kind of performance i can expect from it? Obviously i expect to be slightly dissapointed in terms of what i'm driving now (170bhp Cav), but after having had Golf Gti's a few years back, i've always had a soft spot for VW and Corrados in general. So what can i expect?? What do i look for? easiest way to squeeze power from the 1.8 lump. Any info appreciated ;)
