SK

I drove past and spotted this car minus its plates......is it going for sale? ( nosey parker eh?)

I'm afraid the Corrado is away. I couldn't bear to have it sitting doing nothing when someone else could be getting the use of it, so after sailing an MOT its off to Glasgow somewhere. The chap who bought it was as happy as Larry (didn't know Larry had a corrado) when he left. I'll prob venture back to the VeeDub scene soon so I'll keep my toes wet on the forum. Hers a pic about 15mins before it left! and here is the replacement for the summer

Cheers people. In between the hi winds and lashing rain, I'll go and check these options out. :salute:

It just makes a sort of grinding noise then the brakes come on! The pedal goes solid when it does it and once the ABS light came on and stayed on. ??? Modern cars!

They're £60 quid Jamex things I got on Ebay. I was a bit scared to mess things up (should really change the whole lot at the same time) but the car handles perfect and theres no rubs/scrapes/exhaust clunkage. I saw your car in TESCO but it was p***in down wi rain so I never came over to say 'ello. Car wise I've bought my first love. I've purchased my 7th Ford Capri. Its in "storage" just now but I'm happy usin the Corrado anyway. If I can keep both, I will but come the summer I'll be updating my motorbike so unfortunately the Corrado will end up goin :( .....well thats the plan this week! Still want to have owned a Mk1 Golf at some point.....too much choice!! Might just buy a 307 diesel and blend in with the rest of the traffic :lol:

I've since sorted the springs and put 15" RA's on(with Toyo Proxes...ta Camskills) Here it is. I've just bought somethin else now so I'm maybe gonna put her on the market....dunno.....

Love it! nice and simple too. What did you do for an inlet manifold?

I love corrados :D

I was offered FK Konigsports for £100 at the weekend...as I tightened the bolts on my newly fitted Koni Suspension!!!! They are from a friend who has broken a car up. Not sure of age/ condition but one needs an insert. The cheapskate in me tells me thats a bargain but tbh, the Mk1 Golf I almost bought in June had AVO stuff and handled amazingly!!! Suspension is a funny thing- finding a balance between looks and handling is difficult then you have the added problems of wheel clearance etc etc. Good Luck. I'm sure the car'll still look magic. 'MON THE WISHY CORRADOS

I'm changin from 17 back to 15". My last Corrado had 15s and handled like a go kart where as my present valver with 17's is a bit suspect. In this thread there are comments about acceleration etc. What basically happens is the bigger the wheel, the more inertia it will possess. Eh?? Oh, the bigger the rim the more resistance to turning there is( is that why F1 cars still run 13" wi spongey tyrewalls for traction?, he asked..... ) By dropping the sidewall size, you are effectively stiffening the suspension too so the car will get harsher ride-wise. To agree with the majority...16" is the optimum size for ride/looks. For a total drivers car go 15" and for looks 17/18" (oh dear look at those little brake discs!!!)

I use autosol for my motorbike rims. Amazin stuff. Be prepared to polish regularly but its worth it!!! 8)

My car sometimes (only occasionally) makes a tiny grindy-type noise when coming to a halt. It only does it stopping at around the 5mph mark and the pedal goes solid too. Its done it a few times when turning RIGHT into a parking space. Before I start chasing my tail around the 4 corners of the car I thought I'd ask if anyone has had a similar problem. I know its not pads discs or anything like that..this is a sound/feeling I haven't come across before...... :? Oh yes, its a 95 2l 16v and other than this the brakes are top dog!

This was interesting folks. I'm just a nosey BA57 ARD and thought I'd test the opinions of like minded car enthusiasts,after all lets think about it...WE ALL HAVE REET GOOD TASTE COS WE HAVE CORRADOS :salute: . I didn't intend to upset anyone and could've easily put up "what makes a good corrado?" This could've been easily as offensive cos ones mans BMX is another mans mountain bike. Anyway, hope it all makes sense now. I'll get back to mindless small wee jobs now like sanding the criss-cross bits of my BBS wheels in order to paint em black(painstaking). Until the next time Catch ye later :tongue: Si PS I've been waitin on people gettin stuck into my own car in the gallery,....particularly the varying height suspension/different coloured front wings and oil leaks!! (did Karmann rip the 16v's rocker gaskets on the way out the factory???)

Nice seats?

CLASS!!!!! 8) Brings out the jealousy tho! ha ha
