The "what I did to my Corrado today" thread...
dragon green replied to Jim's topic in General Car Chat
We will need updates, I’ve saved the link, thanks for posting -
After a really good guy posted a how-to on one of the Corrado Facebook pages, I thought I’d have a go, Take the two Philips head screw out, take filler cap out and bung up hole with old rag.On the outside of the rubber, is a sprung wire, gently manipulate this out of the way (forward) then the rubber “boot” can be pulled out. Even though I jet wash this area often, this is what mine looked like ! Using a variety of scrapers (screwdrivers) and a selection of small wire brushes, I got it clean. Luckily no rust under beneath the dirt This is how much crap I got out, I cleaned the rubber boot/grommet, and it went back easier then it came out

It doesn’t turn them black, but what it does do,when you get a hard frost,your doors won’t be frozen shut ! Even when it rains and freezes, you can still get in your car,

You can still buy hose 14, I’ve identified the fitting needed on the regulator, I have plenty an-6 Teflon lined hose and fittings here, I’ll just have to make my own ! The plan was, as you stated,to get a plan in place for others

Intermittent wiper relays are good, half a second to sixty seconds, you don’t need to turn a key,when the wipers are on,turn wipers off, leave off to whatever duration you need, ie: 6 seconds, put wiper Stalk into intermediate position, and wipers come on every six seconds

What's the consensus on aftermarket Rado sway bars and/or strut bars?
dragon green replied to corrado33's topic in Drivetrain
I have an up rated front anti-roll bar,one on the back,front and rear strut bars, IMHO the rear roll bar is a necessity, followed by the up-rated front anti-roll bar, you can feel a difference with the rear strut bar, especially if you drive it hard. The front strut bar doesn’t seem to make as much difference as the others. This is just my 2p after many years of driving and testing -
A few years ago I insulated my C,(well the rear of it) I used dynamat on the boot area, inner rear wheel arches,rear seat area and front floor, then I used a 1/2” cell foam, (dodo), Did it make it quieter ? Not really, BUT what did quieten it was, 1/2” cell foam stuck to the underside of the the parcel shelf,and using two Corrado boot carpets,with all insulation intact

If Tapatalk still worked,I’d post a pic of mine,all nicely illuminated If you google Spoonfedtuning, and email him,he does a kit to backlight the sliding controls, I sent a spare set of controls to him (USA) and he converted mine, but I believe he does a kit now
