Who knows whats been done to this 'storm', question marks all over it isnt there! out of curiosity i may go down there as an 'interested naiave buyer' and see what the sales guy says about it...or just offer him a grand and get the interior :) as for the 16v, yeah the c is heavy, therefore why the hell would you want a that engine? im not a loony, i thrashed a 16v at santa pod in my 8v golf GTI mk2...says it all really ;) heheh..

another question here tho, was there ever a 2.0 8v corrado? mim sure to go they only ever made the 1.8 8v G60, and the 1.8/2.0 16v, but ive seen some on autotrader saying 2.0 8v...why the heck would they do this? the 16v ones where gutless as it was!

thats exactly the car mate, you could be right with it being welded up...plus the fact that the garage is known to be the most dodgy garage in the area, advice to us all, i think we should all steer clear of this one! what a shame tho :( Mike

Fair enough, so its seems these storm cars arent anything special at all! think ill just stick with another v6! Mike

Hi all, just a simple question you'll probably all be able to help me on. I went to see a blue 'storm' yesterday, however it had no aircon or cruise control. It also didnt have a sunroof, but i couldnt find any buttons for a/c etc. Ive owned a few vr6 corrados before so was expected something other than a badge on the rear about these storm cars. It was a bleuy/purple colour with heated black leather..but that was it, i couldnt find anything special about it. It was on an N plate. The guy before me had pissed around with it with silly big bore exhausts and cheap induction kits and it had had a new front end and a dodgy garage was selling it. The type that if you bring it back a week after you bought it with a problem, they would rather give you a knock than politely fix it! Cheers for any advice!!! Mike

the heads are all alloy, however on the early V6's they had a cast iron block, on the later ones an alloy one was used. However the iron block makes a better sound and is much easier to fix. Avoid the alloy blocks or drive it sensibly!

dont touch it anyone! i went to see it a couple of weeks ago, the engine is in dire need of a rebuild. However the early V6 engine with the cast block rather than the alloy block of the later models can be rebuilt, but its costly. Head gaskets gone, he's been running it weak and sounds like its holed a piston too. Avoid! Mike
