Recommended Posts

Right before i start and post any pics i thought id just say hello :wave: and introduce myself, Firstly im chris, Im 30 and live in Middleton, My normal car is a MK4 VW Golf 2.0GTi, I have however just got hold of a K-reg white corrado 2.0 16valve, I got it as payment off a friend of mine who owed me quite a bit of money and couldnt afford to pay me so hence im now a corrado owner,

 

I only got the car last night (Sunday) and not had chance to do anything with it yet, It does have a few issues that need sorting out (will be asking advice on here if its ok)

 

Here are the first pics i got of it this morning on my phone before i went to work.

Looks very tidy mate whats your plans then?

 

Not sure yet to be honest, At the moment it wont tick over from cold so i need to sort that out first, Ill either be putting the standard front & rear lights back on (currently got clear rears & angel eye fronts) then sell the non standard ones or leave it as it is and sell the origional ones,

 

Then i suppose it will be a case of a good machine polish & full valet (paint work is dull) but the leather interior is in good condition. Then i suppose ill be selling it on unless i get a soft spot for it. :wink:

Give you a couple of weeks driving and you'll be hooked. Bought my first one 8 years ago to make the 500 mile journey to sort my mk1 cab out ride a bit smoother than my mk1 16v that sounded like a tank. after the journey couldnt hear for at least an hour. the rado was such a nice change and wouldnt change it, apart from perhaps more power next year :norty:

Welcome mate, looks very well. White is the new black at the moment. 8)

 

I'd have a look at the Idle Stablisation Valve for the cure to your cold start problem, I'd had it before on an old golf I had, and got it at the moment on my VR6.

Nice looking rado, they are worth keeping hold of :D

 

Give me a shout when you get rid of either head lights, not too fussed whether its the standard or the inpro
