Needs to be bloody reliable for starters, the more done to it the merrier i guess. I want a good car mechanically tbh as im not too good with a spanner, aesthetics ill sort!
-
Yep, i am going to wait for the right car now.
-
Walesy, I don't think i'd actually let the mrs loose in a rado though lol. H, I don't think i'll be getting one just yet.... maybe lol
-
LOL i do love this forum. She's the one puting thoughts in my head! She loves corrado's and is encouraging me to get one but im not sure Im ready for the grief/joys of corrado ownership again but then i guess thats what i love about em! Hmm....
-
I had your car in mind when i made my first post lol.
-
Yup and Emu I will after my wedding.
-
Thats all really folks, I look at the classifieds everyday. I've been without one for about 2 months now which is a long time to me after driving corrado's for 3 years straight and its depressing tbh. Just thought i'd share, especially for those thinking of selling! Abdul

215/40's make the wheels look too big for rado's imo. 205/40 or go down a wheel size.
-
Map it man lol. Upgrading the brakes? I hope so... lol
-
Awesome mate, glad its getting done... You getting the 24v mapped too? It'll be a bit of an animal once done as its pretty rapid with the good old 12v as is....
-
Nice

urgent help needed with tyres stretch , clearing arches, lowering , etc
Abdul replied to hawwy's topic in Drivetrain
Get the wheels to 8.5 - 9j, make sure the offsets are somewhere between 15 and 20, roll the arches and away you go. Personally, i'd go with an 8.5". Simple really. Oh and get some Falkens on there! -
Jim preeety much hit the spot there.
-
Oh wow, now that is nice. Awesome colour combo imo.
-
Good work fella, looks tidy!! On a seperate note, is it just me or do all cars just look so much nicer once you've sold em? I miss all my rado's lol. I'm starting the stash parts for the next one though lol.
-
Running without oil? Not me for sure lol.
-
GLWS mate, I hope it goes rather soon as i'm getting itchy fingers again and don't seem to get along with my mk4 lol.
-
Yeah try finding out please. Im determined it couldn't of happened during my ownership lol. Mind you from what i understand all the niggles i dealt with occured during the previous owners stint lol. He didn't take any care of it.
-
Damn thats crazy, good thing you've got the 24v going in... Out of interest which leads did you pull out? Im still trying to figure out what caused the damage!
-
H go with 16's, nice compromise.
-
They are, absolutely nasty to sit in imo. Look nice though. Mk3 recaro's would be a great alternative as they have the looks and the support but i'd imagine they'd sit too high in the rado. Congrats Portent, you took your sweet time finding the right car eh!
-
A fat arse hatchback with a lot of power?
-
Leather Trimmed centre tunnel / pillar trims - now in cream!
Abdul replied to badgerman's topic in Suppliers Forum
My wheel and boss etc is now for sale if anyones interested, still unused! -
Oh please, anyone who mods their car knows a friendly mot tester. If not, stick some on for the day. That's what all of my mates do. If you really want to be technical the indicator's built into the headlight lenses are probably a fail too as i doubt you'd see them *clearly* at night when the headlights are on.
-
Oh yes, looking nice fella! Should've gotten rid of the side markers imo while you were at it but whatever lol. It does look awesome I must say, finish seems good too.
