CorradoDriver

mm, okay i dont feel so bad anymore as alot of you have been without your car for more than a month, and iv havent driven it since last friday, lol

mm, i didnt even realize what i named the thread lol woops

Hey, so its been about a week since i have seen or driven my car and i was wondering how long have you guys gone with out seeing or driving your corrado?? I want to drive it so bad lol P.S. I like what you guys have done with the forum, i just saw all the new images next to the forum names, nice one :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:

lol i dont even have a job

yhea i know, im pretty sure that the A frame wasnt damage beyond repair cuz if it was damaged pretty bad the windshield would have cracked right??

im so pissed right now, i really am, im sure i havent spent any where close to the amount of time and cash you guys have but i still have spent more than 500 dollars (im 17 with no job, that was basicly my life savings and my mom funded alot more) and many hours tring to get my car running as good as it was, with the idle, over heating, clutch problems (many more) i had and now this, ahh life is cruel hah, well the only good thing i can see coming from this and it might be ablessing in disguise is that now i can get that badgeless eyelid gril new tire lol maybe a respray of teh car and as for the bumper im looking to get an RS aftermarket bumper anyone have any pics of that on their cars?? oo and another thing is that if i have money left over after the car is fixed from insurance ill be purchasing a nice set of coilovers. my cozin said he can get me a set that is 1400 normal price considerably cheaper. The same coilovers are on his track m3, when he bought them he got them for like 800 buks but even if i pay 1000 it be worth it and hey its not my money hahha, but if anyone has pics of the rs bumper on their car please post the image, id appreciate it thanks agian

Hey guys quick question, first i wasnt sure if i should add this to my other accident post but it has to do with the body parts (if any mod think it should i appologize and id you want me to ill move it ther or you guys and move it) Now i found body parts (fender and door and hood online) from a g60 and was wondering if those parts fit on my 92 vr6, now im pretty sure that the vr6 and the g60 arent that different besides the engine, now i wanted to make sure from you corrado gurus because to tell you the truth iv never seen a g60 and i wouldnt know, iv found some post saying that the door is the same but nothin on the fender or door, the bumper ill def get from a vr6 or maybe an after market bodykit bumper, im sure it would look fine, has anyone only put on an aftermarket body kit bumper only, does it look stupid?? Thanks guys

i know, like i said i dont know how bad it is until 2 morrow when my body shop dude take a closer look

thanks guys, the fenders was only an idea they looked okay but as you said they suit a z3 much better, i wont find out how bad it is until monday when my body shop guy takes a closer look and then i have to wait for the insurance adjuster to take a look at it and see if its totaled or not, either way the car is gona get fixed, iv spent so many hours getting it running good and all, but we will see, ill keep you guys posted, thanks again

Thanks guys, i really appreciate it, worst comes to worse and they decide to total it, ill just buy it back from them, real cheap (thats what my dad told me) and fix it up, my car is worth about 5k in excellent condition and it was in really good condition, so hopfully ill get some where around $4500 and fix it up, i can get parts on vortex real cheap, i would buy some from here but shipping would be a butt load. Iv loacted a door for $100 the grill for like $80 (badgeless and eyelid), im still looking for a hood and i found a fender body kit for like $200 but im not sure if it will look nice let me know what you think http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1990-1994-Volkswagen-VW-Corrado-Z3-Z-3-Fenders-Body-Kit_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33644QQihZ010QQitemZ200029103944QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW Thats all i need for know, but probably will need some more stuff after we start taking the damage stuff off Thanks again

sounds good, what the thread title, ill add them on, oh by the way ZippyVR6, i did give a warning, you probably missed it

well, the body shop friend of my dad said thay they might say its totaled and i would get about 4500 dollars from issurance company for the car, then i would buy the car back from the insurance company for liek 200 dollars and fix it

Well, i was coming home from school today, going down the street, doing the speedlimit, when an old guy in his 70's driving a ford Taurus decided to make a left while im passing through the intersection well it was a T junction, i was going straight and was going to make a left turn, he was stopped, and as i passed through the intersection he decided to go, he ramed my car and destroyed the driver side fender, the bumper and my door, cops came and told me after talking to both of us, that it wasnt my fault, it was my right of way, he was only to blame, im so pissed off right now, my dads body shop guy said about 3k worth of damage, new hood door fender and bumper and grill, idk how that happend dont ask, he said thier might be some suspension damage. At first i only had some red marks from the seat belt, but now im feeling some wiplash, my shoulders is stiffening up as well as my back. Funny thing was that i cleaned my car like on monday so i could take some pics, i have pics of the car clean and then damaged, have a look, i appologize for the graphic images u are about to see and remeber it wasnt my fault, sorry for the wrong date on those pics, didnt fix my camera till 2day My dads Saab 9-3 Aero If you have a weak stomach please close window now

yes, sir and ill have a search

Well my first and most important issue is when its cold out in the morning, i go to start my car and when i do it starts to sputter and idle real low like it wants to stall and after about a min or 2 of sputtering it smoothens out and idles normal, it only happens when its cold out, any ideas, my second not so major problem is my seat belt light is on all the time while im driving even though my seat belt is always clipped in, any ideas?? Mod Edit: Thread edited and moved.

Thank you sir, I try

Hey I just signed up for this street survival school that my cozin is organizing through the BMW club. I want to become a safer driver lol i was wondering if anyone has done somthing like this? and whats involved? i havent gotten around in asking my cozin but from what iv read they teach you how to control your car in different situations, example, they wet the ground and show you what to do if your car gets into a slide, stuff like that wish me luck, im taking the Corrado by the way

no one

Well, i think its the water pump thats been making noise under my hood and the only reason why i say that is, when i drained my coolant the noise seemed to stop (no coolant in the car) and i also tried unpuging it (no power to pump) and the noise stoped, could it be cloged?? or is it on its way out?? i didnt want to disconnect the hoses and pull the suker out before i got some info. Thanks Heres a pic of what is making the noise

Ello, welcome to the forum, im the one that sometimes causes controversies and or problems :D

good price??

i just bought the master and slave cylinders for 150 buks plus 10 dollars for shipping total $160 which is like 85.50 pounds

anyone???

How much does the slave cost and is it hard to replace??

Okay i just attempted to bleed the clutch, i got my dad to pump the clutch, then he kept it pressed and i released the master bleed nipple, the liquid shot out but sputtered, i did this a like 6-7 times. the pedel got better but then lost pressure, then i did it to the slave, same thing happend, now i can see air bubbles in the brake/clutch oil, i guess mostly clutch cuz its in the outer part of the tank, what do i do, its still soft or stuck to the bottom, any suggestion?? there were no leakes by the way
