mines a 2.0 16v but semms like i was worrying about nothing then. cheers for advice
-
dont know if its just cos its summer now but have recently noticed my car running a bit hot. Normal driving oil temp is 104 and after hard driving 118. The fans and thermostats cut in and it does cool down a bit but never gets below 100 im a bit concerned that these are a little high. Anyone else think the same?
-
ah good point bit far to go and have a look
-
is your tan interior late or early. Id be very interested if it was early

Corrado- Best Buy in Classic Cars issue 430
WHEELER1 replied to HiAsAKite's topic in General Car Chat
Ive got an average 2.0 16v. £3750 anyone? You cant put a price on exclusivity and style and il never get bored of watching peoples faces when you raise the spolier in traffic! -
ok cheers. theres a black one on ebay with the black surround. yuou can take the gaitor off and swap to mine cant you?
-
Just wondered if someone could tell me if the early grey interior had a grey or black gear gaitor. My car has got a nasty aftermarket one and wanted to change it cheers sam

i bought a stripped door today and when i got it back home the rubber that goes along the bottom of the window is diffent from the one on my car. On my car the upright rubber strip goes behind the horizontal one and on the new door it is the other way round. does anyone know why it is not the same. Als think ive bitten off more than i can chew buying a stripped door. i cant really even see where to start so many rivets and wires!! any advice? cheers sam

HOW DO I KNOW IF MY CAR IS EARLY OR LATE SPEC WINGS. IT IS A K REG 2.0 16V VALVE WITH THE EARLY INTERIOR DOES THAT MEAN IT HAS THE EARLY WINGS ASWELL. I ALSO NEED A REAR BUMPER WHATS THE DIFFERNCE BETWEEN EARLY AND LATE?

Is your Corrado the most unreliable car you've ever owned?
WHEELER1 replied to Jay2's topic in General Car Chat
bought my first rado last summer just for weekends. Literally the first dozen times i drove it something different broke! However thats exactly what i wanted in a car. It so boring driving a company car everyday never being able to scratch that tinkering itch. Its been reliable since though so looking towards restoration now rather than repairs role on the summer! -
sorry didnt mean to sound so negative. Just getting desperate why are all the corrado parts in the north! good luck whichever way you choose to go! :cheers:
-
if you break it please please please! can i have first dibs on the doors and rear bumper! cheers sam
-
just seen that you can get a set of jamex coilovers for the rado for £227. does anyone know if they are any good or if there is anything better for the money?
-
Picked up my rado today from tsr after having the kr cam fitted and no offence to them but i cant feel any difference at all. Was I expecting too much or is the power difference very subtle? had jetex panel filter fitted at same time with the hope of being happy with the extra power but sadly dissapointed. Maybe its time to move on to something more powerful!

I want to do track days in my 2.0 16v rado but i keep melting my brakes with just a little bit of fast road driving. Without changing to drastically large brakes what can i do to keep the dreaded brake fade away?
-
Having my kr cams put in tomorrow at TSR. Cant wait to see if you can notice any difference. They do the whole job with a new cambelt and tensioner for £250 if anyone else is looking to have it done.
-
had my kr cams arrive from ebay today and just wondered if anyone knew the part numbers so i can see if ive been had! mine say 7a 027wwo6f and 7b 027 wwo3e.
-
Ive just bought some kr cams for my 2.0 16v 9a corrado. Will they just be a direct replacement for the original cams or are there any other parts i will need to change? Also will the timing marks be the same?
-
I wound the window down today and when it came back up the glass has been scratched over half the window and wrecked it. Any ideas what has caused this? If anyone has an o/s door preferably in moonlight blue im still looking as well!
-
took my 17s off today and put a set of 15s off my golf on. Didnt like the look at all guess ive just got used to the arches being full. Noticed leaky front damper so hoping with a set of coilovers ride might be better. Cant be any worse ive got understeer worse than my work van!
-
how much do you want for them. do you live in bristol?
-
unfortunately only got a 2.0 16v otherwise i would go for speedies too.
-
im really struggling to find a 15" wheel that looks good on my rado. Ive got 17s on it now which look cool but ruin the ride and i wana do a few track days in it. Im leaning towards a set of something that would have been on a corrado originally particularly Estorils. Any one think they would look o.k? Otherwise i would be grateful of a few ideas
-
ok ignore that feel stupid enough already!

whats the search?
