New Corrado Owner - New pictures added 15/01/06

So hi then, I bought my first Corrado on friday. an H plate G60 in Tornado Red. The previous owner is a member on the forum here, but here's the spec in case you don't know the car...

 

Engine - R1 spec Charger, 65mm Pulley, RSR outlet, ported, polished, and re-furbed head, Oil breather system and catch tank, boost re-route system, Stage 5 SNS Chip, NOlogy leads, Stainless inlet pipe with stainless heat shield and mesh filter, full Milltek exhaust system with de-cat.

 

Suspension/Wheels/Brakes - Lowered 35mm, 17" BBS Split Rims, Tarox grroved discs and Tarox pads.

 

Exterior mods - Standard except for debadged grille and eyebrow spoiler, which as of yet isn't fitted.

 

Interior - Full black Leather Interior including doorcards

 

IT ran 215bhp at TSR a few weeks ago before I got it, but it needs a FMIC on it to cool it down a bit, it's suffering from massive heatsoak and should be running about 20bhp more.

 

Having a few teething problems with it at the moment, I have a random untraceable oil leak, we're slowly eliminating everything so will find the cause of the problem soon, and the gear linkage snapped yesterday so waiting til monday so I can get it back on the road.

 

I do love it though, I love the noise, the low down power, and the pure grunt.

 

Some pics for you:

I might be able to help you with the intercooler if you are interested.

 

Take a look in the E-bay and misc section under INTERCOOLER

 

Got one off a SAAB 900 that I was gonna fit to mine but have now decided to sell it.

 

Gonna be a dad in 6 weeks :D so no time to fit and the car may be up for sale soon anyway. :cry:

OK, in my currently hungover state thought it was about time to try and get up all the good pictures I have of my car and have a proper gallery/pictures thread thing. So here goes!

 

Mentioned in my first post that my gear linkage had broken - the first pictures show what snapped, and how we tried to bodge it to last the weekend- it lasted 5 miles. Whilst we were trying to fix it, I moved the outside temp sensor next to my filter so I could get a rough idea of my inlet temps.

 

The rest are just some of the better pictures I have of the car.

 

Sorry about the huge post!

you'll never beat the cow pic :-) you've peaked ! isnt the sill plate supposed to illuminate

 

some nice pics there mate

[Ronan 0]

Yeah it is meant to illuminate - I haven't wired them up yet, plus it doesnt match the Dash colours. To be honest they look a little cheap and are bodged on with silicone so I may rip them off and get some proper ones.

[GIXXERUK 0]

they look ok to me, much better than the black plastic

Looks really nice man. I think my next raddo will have to be red, i've gone from hateing to loving them.

The same part has snapped off my linkage, can you buy new ends or do you have to replace the whole lot :?

[Ronan 0]

The whole lot mate, 65 quid from VAG too. And it's a bit of a mare to fit!

Luckly I have a spare on the 16v I am breaking, but your right it looks a pain in the arse to do :(
