  8. I am thinking of tightening up the corrado. Any ideas of a budget set up as im doing up my house at the moment and things are tight, ive seen so many advertised , like billstein, Gmax, jamex, Where do i begin , i was thinking of oe top mounts and Boge turbo gas shocks and eibach springs. the car only realy gets used at the weekend so i wont need anything two impressive, it desperately needs lowering as its running 17s on standard springs, about 35mm higher than standard ride hight :oops: Any ideas would be gratefully recieved, Thanks

  11. Sounds familiar, When i go to safeway or any big car park i make sure i park right at the far end, you know, the empty spaces where people cant be arsed to walk from my mates say why do you park so far away. they dont understand imagine the horror when you come back to find a nasty dent in the side of your pride and joy, people who have the most expensive cars are the worst for it.. Lack of Respect :mad:
  12. ive got a code alarm, anyone heard of it its american apparantley its a total closure system but i dont trust it as it sometimes chirps when your lying in bed, one night i thought somone was trying to get into it, it didnt go off but just chirped. so its on my drive so i dont use it that much
  13. Banana man its not that bad but its a few years old and when i used to leave it on over night it chirped a couple of times as if it was being turned on. but its never falsly gone off but ive asked an auto electrician to look over it but he didnt want to know, its american and called a code alarm, has anyone heard of it ?
  14. Banana man, see ya point But i dont trust my alarm and i didnt fancy pushing the missus through the hatch to open up if out went wrong !
  15. Just replaced a door handle on the corrado 65 quid ! a bit of a job ( few swear words ) i didnt route the cable right and when i lowered the window it caught the wire, luckily NO damage, only problem was i could`nt use the lock barrel out of the old handle, it just wouldn`t fit in so i have a different lock on the passenger side , good job ive got total closure. After i gave her a good wash and polish and went for a pose, it was nice to catch a subaru impreza driver looking at the corrado, he quickly turned his head when he saw me, IT may be faster but its not as nice to look at, Everybody just seems to stare at these cars, Thats part of the fun of owning a CORRADO . :D

  19. Ive had 2 16vs 1 with a 120000 and this one with 60000 and both have run fine on unleaded, when i got this one the guy had been using leaded, it ran like shite it took me weeks to get it right ihad to fiddle with the timing to get some power because they had retarded it too much but now it seems to fly if driven right these 1.816vs realy do go well..

    Buzzing fuel pump

    Check the mountain brackets there will be rubber mounts they may have gone brittle and sometimes the pump resonates through the car ? Just a thought !
  22. Don`t worry mine siezed on the other day to having had plenty of experiance with these calipers they do clonk like that, probably the freezing temperatures, mine were fine the next day but last weekend i took the wheels off and gave them a good cleen with brake cleaner took the pads out and copper greased them and sprayed them with a light grease around the spring mechanism. makes a BIG differance..
  23. Have you tried obvious things like tyre pressures, it can make a big difference when your running big wheels as well, i no theguy i bought my corrado off had to replace the bottom arms and ball joints and had it 4 wheel aligned because it pulled over all the time and uneven braking it has really made a difference and im running 17s, hope you sort it ? :?
  24. have you tried the bottom ball joints,
