Thats just being silly though... :) I'd drive one :D!

You could fit a turbo, providing you have 2.5 - 3k handy!

136bhp factory, IIRC

As far as i've been told, there has been no damage, but I beg to differ. Whilst changing a steering pump a couple of months ago, I managed to pick off some filler under the arch o_O!! Hopefully this problem can be easily sorted out, but seeming as I don't know what i'm looking for I'll have to get some pics uploaded methinks...unless someone nr Croydon can come diagnose? ££

I thought so too :( I'll get some pics posted up when I have time to take the wheels off, maybe then someone can shed light on the situation :)

Nobody has any ideas why it sticks out more on 1 side at the back? :(

o_O!!

You must have arms of steel, because when my PAS belt snapped, I had to immediately change it, was as stiff as a corpse! Was paranoid of busting my rack/column, too. I reckon you should put a belt back on and see the difference, you might change your mind

Greetings fellow corrado-folk, I present to you a fresh problem with the car, this time it's related to my wheels. Just bought and fitted borbet As: 7.5 ET20 front with 205/45R16 Falkens 9.0 ET15 rear with 215.40R16 Riding on a 40mm drop (Crappy springs, indeed!) The wheels do fit nicely, with no rubbing or touching problems on all but 1 wheel! (Rear drivers side). Went over a couple of potholes, hearing the dirty noise where a tyre slams into an arch...not good My tyre has subsequentally been raped, but luckily still legal :) Looking at the back, I noticed that this wheel actually sticks out about an inch more than the other side, checked for a spacer, but there was nothing. I don't think that having the arch rolled would help, as the edge is cutting into the tyre, shredding bits off over bumpy bits. This leaves me wondering why its doing this, and how I can fix it. Please could you advise as to what you think it could be. Possibilities include: a) Trailing/swing arm looks a little bent outwards, but I'm not 100%. (can get pics..) b) I've been told that the shock looks like its on its way, which is hardly surprising as the car is on 40mm springs (No, i didn't put them on!). possible solutions: a) Arches rolled + Coilovers, raise the rear ride height (although if anything, it needs to be dropped more!) - Coilies happen to be next on my purchase list. b) Arches pulled - pricey, last last last resort c) Swing arm replacement - Is this even possible? ££? d) Take it into a garage - abandon all hope! leave it to the "pro's!" I will try and get some pics sorted, but if anyone can advise or help with a solution, I'd be most grateful

Hi, What corrado do you own? Could be the ISV...

http://www.barryboys.co.uk/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=25748&highlight=corrado could be repost, if so - muchos apologies

at the end of the day, it's still a Fiat. Make sure your friend bears that in mind!

you see, this is why we should hate kids! :D

best.nova.ever!

True, and the 1.8 16v engine is as tough as old boots! Its just everything else in mine that plays up :D electrics, drivetrain, and so on

Hi, Not sure about the MPG of a G60 - but would you be selling your TDI and using the C to travel the 150 miles? And yes - it costs alot to maintain in my personal experience..the second one thing gets fixed, somehting else buggers up!Still loving it tho! You should search the forums for more info :)

Spent most of friday afternoon replacing the under bonnet sponge/foam. Bought a fresh roll for £15 (outdoorbits.com) a while back ,but never got round to doing it. Didn't realise 16year old glue would be a right bastid to get off! used random bottles in the garage to remove all of the old muck (turned out to be white spirit + oven cleaner - worked ok!). Great result, neater looking engine bay :) Also resolved my clifford alarm, fixed interior lights and welcomed my new sat nav + power inverter to their new home!

Well, that certainly kept me busy for a few hours ! Crawley is about 15 mins from me, might have to shake the guys hand for trying it!

now that is one epic calender! nice work :D

crikey! glad you came out unscathed... Another corrado bites the dust :( *weep*

cheers pal, gonna order them now :)!
