Greetings fellow worshippers,
I have just purchaced my first corrado (1.8 16v, G reg, 174k, FSH) as a restoration project and welcome any advise/prices/suppliers on the following:-
Engine mountings - (front one is broken, others are stuffed) - upgrade from standard?
Brake upgrades - (standard stoppers are ok, just seems the right time to do it)
Shocks n springs - (I'm on 15" BBS/VW wheels but might go to 17's) Suggestions??
Headlamp wiring upgrade - is it worth it?
Engine mods - not too fussed on top end speed just acceleration, cams/zorst n filter seem favourites, is there a right and wrong way to mod the airbox? not got enough for a blower or spray yet. Suggestions??
The whole car is going to get stripped n sprayed asap but i'm unsure of what colour, red at the mo but i'm debating on a pale silver or flip. I will post pics as work progresses and would like to offer many thanks to anyone who gives advise.
Finally, in my 13 years of driving its taken me 3 xr2's, 2 xr3i's, 1 xr4x4, 1 205 1.9, 3 cav sri's, 1 shatstra gte and 1 orion ghia to finally be converted to the ways of the VW. Problem with owning my corrado is.........i can't drive it til the works done!
Nuts!
Cheers all
