Does anyoneknow if 'one' can get a 16v 4 branch manifold for a Corrado 16v from anywhere? The ones on ebay say they're not suitible for RHD with PAS because on some cars it doesn't clear the rack. Mines an 89/90 car with PAS but no Cat, any ideas anyone? :? Cheers

Mate, I really love you car! :awesome: Brilliant car, just brilliant :D

OK, so this looks like another one of those newby questions :lol: I am really finding it very difficult (Read- imposible!) to find a performance exhaust for my early Corrado 16v. Every system I look at says 'CAT BACK'.... well mine hasn't got a CAT and never has had, and all the De-CAT pipes are nothing like what my first box is like, so 100% wont fit :( I have a feeling i'm going to have to have one made for my car, but I'm really strugeling to get any time off at the moment, and my exhaust is starting to blow quite badly, so I was hoping I could get one Off The Shelf :brickwall: Can anyomy help me with anymore places to try ect, please ? My down pipe looks a little like this MK2 Golf 16v one, http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Golf-MK2-GTi-1-8- ... dZViewItem Thanks, Tone :)

I had what sounds like the same problem on mine.... I suspect your's will be the same, as you say it's most noticable when pulling away. It'll be the front most engine mount, mine was totaly shot.... the noise you hear is the engine lifting everytime you set off, and moving around when you turn corners. I changed mine easyly in about 20 mins, made a huge difference to the whole car!!!!! :D

I'm a bit new to Corrados so forgive me for being dumb :scratch: When I took off my rear wheels at the weekend, I noticed that I was able to get the rear beem to twist very easyly, perhaps as much as 4-5 inch up and down (at the wheel, with the other side still on the floor) and tbh, I was very suprised not to find an anti roll bar on it! (Doesn't look like there ever was either.... though I do need new glasses :lol: Can I retro fit one? or will I need to replace the beam? (It's a really late '89 16v btw ;) ) Cheers :)

Cheers people :D I'm really glad I bought a Corrado instead of a Rover Tomcat! :lol: Don't know why, but this is my favourit angle 8)

Well, I got my service done yesterday :) That's the 19th stamp in the book ;) I'm amazed at just how solid it is underneath tbh, there were a few little bits where the undeseal had come away, so we just cleaned it all up and resealed it. And cleared all the drain holes. I think a full Waxoil sesh might be in order when the weather warms up. Looks like it'll want a front-to-back brake pipe for the MOT, but apart from that, it's A-OK :D A few more pick for those that asked :)

Cheers gang :) Well, a mate of mine got 164bhp out of his MK2 Jetta 16v, so my long turm goal is to match his.... So a gas flowed head, exhaust manifold and free flow system (Jetex 3 box most likely...the colour is loud enough!!) and a set of Piper Cams will be on the cars one day. Untill then, a set of coil overs (anyone got any going cheep-ish?) go and show it at a few shows and to just enjoy it as much as I can !! I've always loved Corrados, but for some reason I never bought one before. Instead I wasted my money on a MK4 Golf GTITurbo..... This is as fast, and a hell of a lot more fun, should have got one years ago :D Cheers 8)

That's a work of art that is mate!! Bloody awesome work :D

Ahhh, Dave said he'd had a fair bit of interst in it, just no one 'sept me turned up to view it :lol: I'm in Dronfield really, but usally in Sheffield as there's nothing here..... It's looking much better now, God knows how I managed to look past the stickers and 'detailing'..... it was really auful ! Spent another £450 getting it looking right. + giving it a full on major service and a set of engine mounts on Sat' just to make sure everything is A-OK.... though I have done 600 miles in it since I bought it, and it's not brocken down yet LOL This is a pick a mate tuk as I was picking it up.... skuze the finger :oops:

Ha Ha, It doesn't work..... YET! It's still all there, just got make it work 8) I have no idea what the rear diffuser is off, but it aint 'right' LOL- But it will be staying #1- because I can't be bothered to remove it. #2- because it's a good talking point :lol: Had it on't Rollers at the weekend, It's still making 136.2bhp & 118.9 lbft. Not bad for a bog standard 19 yr old! :D Cheers ;)

I bought this Nugget a couple of weeks ago..... COVERED in Corrado-club stickers, with red highlights on the 15in alloys.... nice It's a 1990 1.8 16v with 108K and a FSH (& a near perfect cloth interior ;) ) I booked it straight in with the bodyshop to get a few li'll bit's sorted and had it de-trimed, fitted a set of O.Z 17's, amber side repeaters (I didn't like the black ones with the standard tail lights) a set of Ally heater sliders and chrome door handles and fitted an Isotta streering wheel I just happened to have lying around LOL Best of all though, It's got an old Skool Car phone fitted :lol: Hope you like :)
