My 1991 White 16V Corrado...NOW ON COILOVERS

Recommended Posts

looks good mate, will look really nice if you get it all carpetted out just nicely. dont think they suit the "track slag" look totally. minimalistic is cool but stripped i dont think looks too good on these!

 

As much as id love it to be a track car i just dont have the right engine and the money for it....maybe one day! If it was to be a track car then i wouldnt have it as my daily it just wouldnt be practable. I just wana get a nice looking car before the nicer weather gets here

Hi Bud, hope things are good with the work on the engine. I look forward to catching up with you and getting some good pictures taken. I've put the r32 conversion on hold for a short while, due to the rust I have on the body work. Once thats sorted will get back on track with the conversion.

Not updated this for a while. I got the car back on the road in time for E38, passed the mot with no minors :clap:

Been running fine, alternator went so replaced that and also the battery, starter motor was on its last legs so replaced that.

 

Went down Santa Pod...wont even mention what times i ran :(

Needed new front tyres after that and had no money so borrowed some wheels from my mate

And then a few days later the clutch goes :(

 

So far everything has pretty much been replaced apart from body panels (apart from the bonnet as i now have a late spec one on due to an accident down one of the garages i took my car to)

Its all about the lowness its just the roads are crap and theres too many speed bumps.

 

Gets annoying after your splitter has been riped off about 50 times.........

yeah, get it sorted. I would give you a hand but after pulling my back out Im a bit delicate.

 

Just thought all three of our corrado's are off the road at the moment :nuts:

 

Chris, is you just need someone to hold your hand with the clutch work let me know. Maybe Jon could help too??

Help would be great Sam, everytime i suggest it to Rob the weathers wither bad for hes trying to fit his air ride still.

 

Im really not to fussed about santa pod to be honest...ive been once and since then my cars been off the road :lol: nearly a year now!!!!

 

Jabbasport are a great bunch of people, cant fault them. They were really busy at the time and i was rushing them to get my car in time for Edition 38 and did have to go back quite a few times after that....didnt manage to sort the problem though :(

Havnt updated this for a while now so thought it was about time. Im now rid of the high maintance girlfriend so can afford to spend money on the Corrado...YEY!!

 

After 15months of being tucked away in the garage, a change of clutch, new battery and a tinker with the idle she runs rather well :) Started 1st time aswell! Forgot how harsh the ride is on coilovers though lol. Thanks to Sam (Quicky1980) for everything he has done to the car!!
