Hi all There seems to be more 2's than 1-8's about, but I'm sure I read or heard that the 2's are a bit more torquey than top end like the 1.8.....is this right? Will 1.8 cams in a 2.0 head make the 2.0 deliver the same?

Looks like youre making progress, price isn't bad if youre happy with the work and have used him before.

What's the benefit of the handbrake and console mods?

Ah yeah I see what you mean. Usual scabby bits!

So what's the score with the bodywork? Looks straight and true from the pics. I have a grey car and don't like it...but I have to admit, suits the rado shape very nicely. Still keeping tabs on this in the vein hope I can have another one day!

Certainly an improvement on the standard sebrings, agree with ditching the black on black though, good shout

Hmm is it deadened underneath then? Either ripit out and replace or yeah, bathroom sealant! Just clean the rust up ;-)

Ha! Selotape a 2p behind there and weld it up :-)

Good work, nice productive day!! Can only think those 3 holes were to drain a waterlog previously? Not a common issue though so a bit weird.

Until I have the money I'll probably explore many more opportunities. But when I think about it, the rado was the coolest most fun car I've ever owned.

Seanl82, I have made up my mind about my next car umpteen times: 330ci 540i M5 Mazda MPS 306 GTI6 205 GTI MK4 4mo Merc SEC 500 Not to mention the corrados in all shape and form lol

This is the attraction. I do 8 miles to and from work and have a family diesel for day trips. KR still wins my vote. Its only really the noise of a VR that is tempting me. I don't need 190bhp.....

I have but poo pooed it as they are notorious for needing too much maintenance. I'm quite a lazy owner that likes to tinker

:-D

Lol I'm not allowed one until I'm married....in september! I'm holding out hope of finding one for a tun that's perfect lol

And yours is perfect mate, its the sort I'll be looking for when I can save up a bit!

General consensus is either get a VR or R32 it.... ...but a valver is just fine anyway lol

Well, i don't want an opinion on what's better, just on the difference in their characteristics. I loved my old KR, how freely it revved and clawed the road past almost effortlessley, especially for 'just' 147bhp (it was a little modded). I want another, but they are becoming quite hard to find, especially an early one, and most for sale that i seem to come accross within a tangeable distance are of the VR mould. A friend of mine who has owned both a mk2 KR and a mk3 VR has said that characteristically they aren't too different - almost that the VR is just as happy and as quick to rev as the KR. What are people's opinions on this? It would open up the possibility of some 6-pot goodness in the future if it's true! cheers all

I would have gone with the 4 letter approach lol

Gotta be an update by now? Need my fix!

Yeah trying to explain why your 20yo rusty car with a thirsty and relatively slow engine is the "one that got away" seems to be a corrado owner thing lol

Aww man I want her back!!

No one?

Dave, what are the best injectors to use?

Still useless without pics though ;-)
