yer thats one thing i love about my corrado im normally the only one on the road and i get lots of looks :D
-
blimey i just thought if i did not have my bmw and the missus french effort of a car i could spend an extra £600 a month on the corrado turboed 4x4 r32'd carbon ceramic brakes all worth £2500 :lol:
-
just not as fast :nuts: true :lol:
-
also have a check on vacum hoses they can bugger it all up too :D
-
at the mo ive done the decat pipe £60 got the cams but not fitted em £200 odd and have a bmc £180 odd and its putting out 201.8 bhp so i think the decat pipe does make a difference as does the bmc and im sure when i fit the cams (when its not white outside) that will get me upto 220-225 bhp so for £340 plus gaskets and bits thats not bad gains over std compair that to a charger at 1800 quid for an extra 75-80 bhp its deffo more bhp for your buck

if the problem is bad ideling normally its your MAF unplug that if its still bad theres your problem
-
you mentioned that you wanted perhaps a honda s2000 or intgegra do you not think you will want to upgrade them ?? i thought that with my bmw i would not need to do anything and i need 3 grand to put carbon fibre parts on it and the performance back box and the rado i could easly spend the same with a turbo kit from vince just get yours fixed and you will forget all this selling rubbish and will be happy all over again :lol:
-
depends on a few things like how much you can afford to put buy for a newer car each month and is the corrado gonna cost that much a month to repair and run ? funny thing is when i was younger and purchased me a flat i brought the corrado 2 months later as it was only 5 years old and was considered a reliable and good car :lol:
-
its a shame but it helps the other who like to keep their rados alive lets face it it does not cost a fortune to run an older car but you can spend a fortune on it if you want :lol:
-
im quite glad i did not get hold of a 90 mm splitter yet cause if i had im not sure it would still be there its not got a great deal of clearance with the 50 mm on there as it is :lol:
-
ok so they are around the same price so question is why get 8-10 mm leads what are they ment to offer i can understand uprated coil paks giving a better spark do the thicker leads not carry the spark better ? (wheres kevheywire when you need him 8) )
-
kid of what i was thinking any idea how much from the dealers ~(bit late to call em now :D )
-
so as the title says uprated plug leads are they worth the money do they make any difference ?? im looking to get some new ones for my vr6 as i have not changed em for a long time and when i did i used a second hand set so question is do i go std from the dealer or get 10 mm blue uprated jobbies for like £80 odd ??? help me :brickwall: :brickwall: :help: :help:
-
why did they put the brakes on it would have been ok rolling in gear :cuckoo: :cuckoo: still love the a team style bail out :lol:
-
did that and tried the middle setting as said rear wheel drive and snow = cat arse
-
i would go down the ht lead route as ive had a coil pak go and you dont get a stutter you get a complete loss of a cylinder or 2 and that does not feel like a stutter more like a 2cv :lol:
-
i have the tt 312 upgrade on my vr (i know different stud pattern) and its stops on a 6 pence so if you can get anywere near that size you will have some serious braking :D

well the corrado did me proud today my and the other half spent 4 hours digging a 70 foot long 6 foot wide pathway to get the bmw out so i could get to work and the damm thing got no traction :( and slid around like a slippy thing however the corrado took the snow in its stride and got me to sainsburys and work with no real probs :D :luvlove: i love my corrado :luvlove:

My car, someone's been using the spoiler as a snowball shelf.[/quote:1jwjrcqw] that looks like degs c mate blimey ive been sking and the temps been -29 in the 3 valleys froze my butt off and as you know i have a few layers to keep me warm :lol:
