RadoVirgin

I'm in the same situation tbo, my valver packed up 2 weeks ago and I've been unable to track down the problem. I think it may be the metering head and have a replaacement inbound to try and solve it this weekend but if it doesn't work i want to ditch the valver and put in a VR6. I also want to keep my 4x100 setup as I have 310mm wilwoods to go on and I love the wheels that I already have!!! Also I'm not looking for just speed, I want more of a cruiser and the 20vt is far too fast and the furious for me! I also own a 2.5 V6 Alfa romeo (eg 90's BTCC) and there is nothing better than the sound of a V6 engine!!! I have the same sort of questions - which subframe do I need? will the VR fit to my 2.0 16v gearbox? can I fit a corrado VR6 rad? Is there a donor car that will fulfill all of my needs apart from a corrado VR6 as it would be a crime to break one of those Sorry to steal the thread mate

Hi, i'm just enquiring if anyone has any experience in fitting carbs Bike/Dellorto to a 9a 16v engine? I'd like to know if i can use the standard dizzy or will I have to employ an aftermarket system like Megajolt etc. I'm thinking of going for a full dellorto setup or possibly bike carbs. My engine is standard but I plan to fit a kr inlet cam prior to fitting the carbs. I'd appreciate any advice on the possible pitfalls and any special considerations that I might need to take into account. Cheers

Sounds great, I'm up for it and i'll see if I can find others!

I'll probably be doing the same and going down on the saturday. I'm not sure about the club situation, i'll put a post in the events thread and see how many ppl are going.

Oh I'll be there but I'd really like to be able to get on one of the club stands if anyone knows how I could go about it

No i'm still goinga head with the whiplash claim, i meant that it's not recorded as a CAT C/CAT D write off. I have a replacement rear bumper and the car is going in the jig and having the rear panel pulled out and it is all being sprayed. With the money I have left over I'm having the rear arches rolled both front wings replaced and the front bumper/bonnet resprayed aswell as a slight crease in the offside rear arch removed. After all this work it should look pretty good when I take it to Edition38 at the beginning of september. I'm going to attempt to put a KR inlet cam and do the cam belt next week aswell as an ECU chip so we'll see if there is any improvement

Well the story so far is that they haven't written the car off, but they haven't repaired it either. I spoke to the engineer and I have been given cash in lew of the damages so it isn't a recorded accident and I'm going to get the car fixed!

Hi all i'm just looking for some opinions please, I've had my first corrado on the road for two weeks and on the 7th day somebodycrashed into the back of me!!!! :bad-words: . It's off to the bodyshop tomorrow for the engineer to look at and I think they are going to write it off, if they do I'm going to buy it back no matter what but I need to know how much cash I should be fighting for! It's a 2.0 16V 1993 with 138,000miles, it has just passed it's mot and has 6 months tax, in the past month I've fitted the wheels and tyres along with an FK streetline coilover kit.

Does anyone know where I can go to get some replacement front wings for my 93 2.0 16v? I've googled to daeth and no joy!

Lol, I am going down the neck injury route as I haven't been able to fly out to Iraq with work and I have been put on light duties due to my neck pain. As far as the speed bumps go, I have had to raise the car all round in order to clear speed bumps but I still get quite alot of scrubbage on the front splitter!

Well it's all gone to Ratshit today, have had the Rado on the road for just over 7 days and some git has driven into the back of me this afternoon. It doesn't look too bad from the outside but upon closer inspection I have found that the boot panel has been pushed in quite considerably!! I'm so gutted. Have spoken to my insurance company and they seem to think that because of the cars age and value that it'll probably be written off. Hopefuly they'll let me buy it back and I can see about repairing it. If not I'll be stripping all of the mods quicktime and looking for another motor. Pictures to follow!!

The fronts are 7.5x16 and apparently et35 but I have put 10mm spacers so they are now et25. Tyres are 195/45/16 Dunlop Sp9000 The rears are 9x16 et25 rims with 1omm spacers also but again have 10mm spacers so are et15 now. Tyres are 215/35/16 Dunlop Sp9000 The wheels and tyres were off a Corsa turbo and are 4x100pcd. I paid £400 for the wheels and tyres on ebay lol

What are you doing on tuesday Andy as I'll be travelling down to Gosport to pick up the car, i'll be around mid afternoon as I need to tax the car before the post office closes. I'll be driving back up country once the rush hour traffic has died down. Where is gosport are you?

Nah the arches aren't fettled yet but it isn't quite low enough yet, only problem is that if I go any lower the front splitter might grounds out on cats eyes lol. I might have to see if I can get a shorter one. I've got to get the rust spots sorted next but it's mainly on the front wings, with a little bit in the middle of the boot lid underneath the spoiler

I bought this corrado at the beginning of March and It has sat for 3 Months while I've been in afghanistan. Here are some pics I bought some things via the internet while I was away! And when you put them together you get this! Yes I know it needs a bloody wash I'm hoping to lower it a little more but left it like this for the MOT today. As you can see the car only cost me £400 so needless to say it wasn't good news on the MOT but by this time next week it will have all new copper brake lines amongst many other things!!! Let me know what you thing, especially the wheels because I think they may cause some controversy

Hi guys, I got my Iphone a few months ago and have been searching for the best way to play the music I have, charge the phone and have handfree facilities. I went through many posibilities including Fm Transmitters and chargers aswell as having a separate handsfree kit. All of these separate bits of kit cost money and my dashboard would have been spagetti junction!!! The other day I found this http://www.audio66.com/product.asp?id=5 ... variation= The Alpine CDE-104BTI has solved all of my problems in one fell swoop. It has a a parrot bluetooth module built into it and works brilliantly with the microphone that is supplied. It comes with the high speed Ipod lead that is £20 to buy separately and it charges my 3G iphone and the sound quality is awesome. The only downside is that it costs £180 but a decent Handsfree is at least £100 I hope anyone looking for a Iphone car solution finds this helpfull

Ok mate thanks very much, i'm glad that I haven't wasted any cash!

That looks awesome mate, my only worry is that do the pads hang over the edge of the disc meaning that they will wear with a lip on them. If they don't then I will use these calipers for my brake upgrade! Cheers mate

Bugger! So am I right in saying that these ar of no use to me at all? I'll have to start looking again!

Hi i'm wondering if anyone can help me, I purchased a set of MK3 GTi calipers to go on my 16v corrado but i'm not sure if they will fit! I've tried to find a part number on them but have drawn a blank. From a bit of research I have discovered that the Mk3s did two types of calipers. These were 280mm on the early models and 288mm on later models and I need to know how to tell the difference. My original plan was to use G60 discs as they are 4x100 pcd like my valver, i'd just like to see if there is someone out there who knows what they are doing before I cock it all up and buy the wrong thing!! Also will I be able to use my original brake hoses? Here is a rubbish pic lol!
