Newbie to the Corrado scene

[WONGA 0]

Hi there everyone,newbie here.Just found the site from Performance VW after searching helplessely on google.

 

Just put a deposit on a 2.0 16v J reg Corrado in midnight blue(i think thats what colour it is!!) I paid £1800 for it.It has 101,000 miles on it ans is in very good condition.

 

Iwas originally wanting a VR6 but they are fairly hard to come by and a bit outta my price range(and insurance!) so I opted for a 2.0.

 

I used to own a Golf Driver about 4 years ago and it got written off by some idiot T boneing me so then I went French and got a saxo(I was young and stupid!!) so I thought i'd get back into the veedub scene and what better way than a Rado!

 

I will be picking it up this weekend hopefully so I cant wait to get slightly modding it.First thing will be a debadged grill and grill spoiler and an Induction kit.I think it has already been lowered about 30mm and has a full through Scorpion zorst with Twin DTM's,it sounds very nice indeed.

 

that's all for now

Welcome to the forum mate, sounds like a nice 'rado, looking forward to some pix! 8)

Nice one! Sounds like you got yourself a good deal :) Must be one of the first 2.016v's too- my first one was a J-reg as well.

 

Induction kit is a no-no on the valvers- think Stroeve is the only one available and it's in the engine bay, so not really any benefit. Go for a panel filter with a cold air feed to the airbox- gives a bit of a power gain, sounds nice, quite cheap and easy DIY :wink: Have fun!

Sounds like you got a good deal for a 2.0 16V! I paid £3K a couple of years ago for a 2.0 valver with 70K on the clock 8)

 

Anyways welcome to the forum mate - get some pics up once you've got her :D
