iow_corrado_g60 replied to MARLBORO_LITE's topic in Exterior
probably not but you just need to go check the centre bore is the same the one on the corrado is 57.1mm and also you need to make sure the studs are the same distance apart the corrado one is 4x100 cheers andy im sure someone will add some before the days out -
ah scarlett, dave am i the only one who doesnt know what they are?

right got ya because i have a flowed head and manifold port and polished! and my charger is fine and the boost reading from the mfa isnt as high as what i feel it should be could this be lower then because of the mods?
-
jimbo does this mean that you will still be making that boost but where the boost sensor reads the level it is after the head so that you boost you have made has been lost in the head already where its flowing so well!

yeah old lil has the standard 16 inch amg's with i think pirellis or continentals and she doesnt really give it any but my dad gives it a bit of stick and its fairly wallowy through the corners and thats with it not on the limit so i can defo imagine the traction breaking when you really give it some kev. and also like you say its an automatic and the intial kick down power is very impressive after thats its just smooth and doesnt feel quick! does its job though and cruises well at 100 on the motorway with little noise for a convertible! very luxurious cars though and easily fit 4 adults in unlike most convertibles!

sorry i cant believe for a second that a clk320 would wallop a VR as my mum has a 2001 cabriolet 3.2 clk and its really not that fast crap pic but its in the far left!

New wheels 7inch/195 wide Interesting INFO found!
iow_corrado_g60 replied to iow_corrado_g60's topic in Drivetrain
hi gents if you read his email it does ask if you have clearance for the additional 20mmi think im going to got for 205's but was very good of him to help! -
i dont think all of this is strictly necessary as my car you can hear the whoosh on change more when cold and then when hot only does it when im quite far up the rev range! Do change your idle screw thou if you've lost it! Dips just make sure your not revving it and changing over 3k at cold otherwise this will damage the charger as the charger is oil dependant so like an engine is not at full operating temperature till at least 80c! as the oil when colder is thicker so it is harder to push round thus being when the car is hotter it shoots round quicker allowing the charger to work freely! at what revs does this whoosh happen when cold? but get down to g-werks fella and get it serviced! Cheers Andy

New wheels 7inch/195 wide Interesting INFO found!
iow_corrado_g60 replied to iow_corrado_g60's topic in Drivetrain
If anyone knows this then no worries but i found it very interesting & helpful! I just yesterday spoke to my dad about some new tyres he said speak to his mate so i gave him a ring and he wasnt there so my dad forwarded his email to me! I then sent him what tyre i was after and asked him if this was right! he then replied very swiftly! 1st he asked me what size the very first tyre ever put on the corrado was so that he could gauge the rolling circumfrence. He then asked what size my new wheels were I replied 16's, his reply then was. Andrew I will forward prices for 215/40 R16. Do make sure you have the clearance for the additional 20 mm width. Do also let your insurance compant know you are changing the wheels. They will invariable annul the policy otherwise. These tyres offer only 3 revolutions in the mile difference with 0.4% difference on the speedo reading ie when you are traveling at 60 mph you speedo will read 60.2 mph. If you wish to discuss the merits of any particular brand do not hesitate in calling. He then emailed me a full price list of every tyre they sell in this size! very interesting and very helpful allthough my first thoughts were to as low and smooth as possible i may change my view! hope this is of some help to someone with a G! -
mike yours would win i reckon! only think letteing the g down over it is the 1st and 2nd gears

sell beck 20-30bhp for an air filter and zorst to thats quite a big claim! but u need to think of the other things needed to run a 300bhp car safely big brakes better internals bigger clutch stronger gear box better suspension better manifold better head! the list is endless this is why its incredibly hard! good luck thou sam i hope its done by e38 i need something to aspire too! hopefully all being well im gonna start going for some big bhp at end of the summer not quite as mental as yours thou!
