I love it!

Hi mate, where abouts? I'm looking for front fogs + indicators if they aren't cracked or chipped.

Blimey, stuffs goes obsolete so fast! I got one of these not that long ago.

Same!

Hehe. I tell the insurance company mine is worth about 1500 quid...it's true tho!

I think 300 odd being SORN'd for winter is pretty likely?

Same figures for Q2 of 2010 for comparrison: Manual: 16v - 1141 +155 VR6 - 1745 +113 G60 - 518 +68 Storm - 13 +2 Other - 149 +13 Total - 3566 +351 Auto: VR6 - 64 +9 Storm - 0 Other - 6 Total - 72 +9 Grand Total - 3638 +360

I guess a lot of storms are registered as normal Corrados? - Maybe a Storm owner can tell us what their paper work states? Also these are only taxed vehicles, and as I took the Q4 results I would expect a lot of cars are SORN for winter.

If you can't open it, these are the figures for Q4 2010: Manual: 16v - 986 VR6 - 1632 G60 - 450 Storm - 11 Other - 136 Total - 3215 Auto: VR6 - 55 Storm - 0 Other - 6 Total - 61 Grand Total - 3276

I was only jokin' I'm going to dig a hole in the grass ;)

I love the lupo blade upgrade, are they two drivers arms? I need to do this mod!

Well thanks for all the info! What I learnt: Go buy a BMW.

Oi. Badgeless grill, or black badge? Can't decide!

24v conversion?

If someone can confirm the turbo and related parts aren't ebay jobbies then it could be a bargain. I don't have the monies but if I did I would be calling him up and asking some questions!

I need to change the oil in my C, but as it's lowered I can't get my oil pan under the sump when it's on the floor. Is it ok to just jack up the front and drain it? I'm asking because I know you are supposed to drain the oil with the car level and I only have the tools to lift the front or the back, not both at the same time. Any other options perhaps?

Karl, I think you should ask if you can inspect it before you bid :thumbleft:

The only part that I know fits is the exhaust downpipe. I just fitted one from an AAA to and ABV (the 2.8 > 2.9), hope this helps.

Well I tried to use the sites new blog feature, but you don't seem to get any feedback on there, so I'm going to forget that and go back to having a members thread (which to be fair is my preferred way to browse as well). Incoming wall of text! There has been quite a lot more progress since my last post (although no where near the level some people seem to manage!) I'm just struggling to remember it all and I certainly don't have pictures of everything. I have fitted a set of coilovers just need to go around with the torque wrench and make sure everything is done up, then I need to get the tracking done. I have had to drill out 2 of the 4 headlight screws, and I have purchased a longer drill bit so that I can drill out the two middle ones (which should be happening tonight). I have just finished fitting a new downpipe as mine was blowing at the collar. I got a second hand one from ebay and replaced all the studs, nuts and gaskets whilst I was at it. Really pleased with the results but unfortunately this has only highlighted a blow in the suit case that I didn't previously know about. Presumably the extra pressure made it worse. I have had a bad leak since I got the car. After replacing the foliage seal, I eventually found water to be coming in from the top passenger corner of the windscreen. This is going to require the screen to come out but for now I have had to remove the headlining and carpet to stop them from getting ruined. That will do for now, I'm working on the car tonight so I will refresh my memory and take some photos. Pictures of busted downpipe and after the coilovers were fitted.

My VR is fast (to me....compared to my 75bhp Clio) :thumbleft:

I've driven the best part of 500 miles from Farnborough to Liverpool and back today and didn't see a single Corrado! Boo! Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk

Fix it. Depending on your funds, a cheap option would be to get an exact replacement engine and just swap them over. With a couple of mates you could do it in a weekend.

Perhaps I should plan to go to a show this year just so that I have a reason to get the Corrado running.....This one looks good but I haven't heard of it before! Any pictures from previous years?

Have you got any pictures of said polished consoles? I don't think I have seen this before.

Sadly not since I have fitted the coilovers but I desperately need to update my members thread so I will take some next time I have the camera with me. I have a tin of the savage red spray for the rear lights, I just haven't got around to doing them yet. I started a whole load of little bits last year (wheel centres, badges and so on) but then it got too cold to spray outside so I have a backlog of spraying to get on with, it's just that the prep bores the living **** out of me!
