aide

you know the storey - friday afternoon, weekends here and you have an hour or two to waste at work...... :roll: not seen any links to the le froggy forum on this site before, so here it is: - http://www.thecorrado.com gotta hand to the euro peeps, some dem motas is pretty fly :wink:

my local dealer keeps offering to buy mine for £500.... don't spose thats a compliment is it :!:

getting really tempted by this 2.0 bottom end people keep talking about :!: i know it's the 9A - but i aint ever attempted a mod like this before :roll: - how difficult/ timely are we talking? re. the cams i've heard the existing ones are good as it is, my local performance place TSR does some fast roads of their own dunno what they're like tho, take it you've got the kent gf1602r cams? what power you looking at as i've got the opportunity to take my motor of the road for a while? And i'm getting itchy fingers :D

Be interested in whole system, including 16v down pipe - price dependant of course :D

can i have your car then.... :D

jeez - some of you guys obviously don't learn :shock: my meager collection for 5 years since i passed test :oops: Corrado 1.8 16v - G plate (w.o. - head on) Scirroco 1.8 GTII (burnt out) Corrado 1.8 16v (going strong) i'm 28... just and about £10 grand down

Personally I don 't much care if it's killed the already useless talk at low speed, though it doesn't feel like it has :D Besides the enhanced performance we can feel, i could only refer you to the VW figures for the KR and this enlarged manifold, and the posts above Re the gas speeds, it's accepted greater gas speed = greater torque. However, in this case, I believe the minor bhp gain and torque increase at high revs is due to the induction being 'easier' from a larger manifold and only minimally 'faster'.... :!: this larger bore advantage was probably maximised by VW in design of larger manifold for mass production, and thereafter air flow is probably inversely proportional to induction speed :?: All that said, it's no match for a polish of the smaller manifold. Now everyone feel free to slate my feeble explanation :lol:

Cheers - seems to have done trick!!

Been going out with a storm owner for a while now...... ....and still living with the shame of being blown off everytime we drive in convoy :( hoping she might let me have a go one day :mrgreen:

OR Exeter - I know 3 owners, and see another 7 regularly :!: And judging by the 'spotted' thread - none of em visit this website :?

Red 16v approaching whiddon down roundabout on A30, yesterday bout 12ish - you flashed Ta :lol:

Ok sorted it - took longer than expected though.... some of those bolts are buggers to get at, technically easy though like you lot said :lol: Performance - feels a wee bit perkier from 3500rpm upwards, not a lot in it though, but worth doing. Tone of the engine has changed to, the induction whistle has gone up an octave!! Obviously - i've now got a problem, car seems to start bit slower - but I suspect cold start valve has finally given up. The real concern is after a good run, the engine seems very bumpy at idle - not much good at fuel management side of things, anyone got any ideas :?: Incidentally the ISV seems to be working tonnes better, previously revs dipped and recovered when taking foot of gas - now just settles dowm nice and calm 8)

no worries - will let you know. Am hoping to do tomorrow but keep getting diverted every chance i get....

Been out the office for a while!! Didn't manage to do last weekend :( Thanks for tip on Injector seals Harry, will sort some out from the stealers.

Ok - cheers lads I'll stick it on this weekend and see how I live with it... Given what Gavin said re. air speed, it'll at least give me chance to polish the existing manifold :roll:

WOW 3 bhp - best upgrade the brakes!! Yep - got both parts though, am assuming this is a step in the right direction for porting! re the block - dunno its a G 16v so does that mean its a definite KR?

Cheers Henny - had a sneaking feeling you'd be the first to reply :lol: What's powergain like? Can I expect a bit more torque, or do I have to Port & Polish head, exhaust manifold... straight through exhaust etc..?! D'ya reckon my 15p/ mile company fuel will cover :D he he

Guys - Just purchased the enlarged inlet manifold for the 16v from volksline spares… (nice blue colour instead of red) :lol: I’ve been told it’s a straight bolt on affair (besides the purchase of a new gasket?) is there any other difficulties I should be ready for :?: Assume someone must of done this! Appreciate any comments, cheers :wink:

:roll: errr - Red un, driving Camelford to Launceston about 8ish yesterday morning.... 16v i reckon - cod barely see due to salt cake on windsreen and srayers frozen :x you didn't wave :wink:

RIGHT ON :D

1.8 16 valver, 3years no claims, i'm 28 but i did write my last rado off (sorry guys - one less :( ) have three points too, but live in rural Devon and its still £900 :shock:

Hey!! I don't remember this site becoming a forum for bashing valvers :!: Very brave of you to take on tho :wink: Lets not forget they were the first of the finest vw ever made :D Besides, some of us have 'insurance' issues :x

Pulling off M5 slip onto M4 blue ish? (it was dark!) vr6 on Fri 2nd Jan with bikes on roof rack anybody?! Blue H388 16v in Marlborough on Sat 3rd Jan - went spinning round a roundabout in town centre and finally Today - Red G reg 16v sat outside my office window, Park 5 Business centre, EXETER!!

bought on 77k two years ago - now at 111k.... still not bad going for a 13yr old :D

must be a problem with that corner then - actual winder motor/ mechanism probably?!! Don't know how to fix though - havn't even got electric windows :cry:
