nice video, the guys pronouciation (spelling??) of 'cohradhoe' is a bit annoying but the way he says 'pissaaart' is just funny!

[dinkus 10]

Yeah, nice cone work, but that VR burble brings back scary memories :?

 

What a crap programme tho, my god. I was starting to really worry but then they came up with the 'Maryland public television' bit at the end... :lol: - explains a lot

Make sure your axle bushes are fairly new, otherwise it'll get messy...

Fun but the music was a bit OTT at the start lol wasn't it?

Hated the way he said Veedobleya, It's Veedoubleyou i was saying to my self.

Well you get a line of cones... :lol:

 

Seriously tho, if the bushes are dead the back will feel very unsettled and soggy and you'll get quite a lot of rear steer.

Dinkus - I think it's the other way around, when the axle bushes go they just go solid into some sort of "gunk" so you have no passive stear - I Think!

[Henny 0]

biggerbigneil, nope, when the rear bushes die, they float about all over the show meaning that the rear axle is passively steering ALL the time, even on straights! Cornering gets somewhat interesting 'cos the control part is done by the rubber bushes, with them going all soggy, you suddenly find that the rear end is trying to steer as much as it can even in the lightest of corners... :|

 

It's an interesting thing to try and drive is a Corrado with dead rear bushes... (yup, mine went, did you guess?!? :lol: )

[dinkus 10]

Aye, definitely sloppy when dead. Mine was downright scary above 50 before I got the bushes done...

[CoxyLaad 0]

just get some poly bushes and be done with it

[Henny 0]

nooooooo... Poly bushes in the rear end (ooh, that sounds painful... :| :lol: ) will kill the passive rear steering and mess up some of the handling characteristics of the Corrado that make it such a fun car to drive... :|

enjoyed that! shame they slagged of all other models tho!
