i have now taken of the road for a short while needs a few upgrades doing so im getting urethane bushes front and rear and some other jobs as the car has got dangerous to drive, in the mean time ive bought a huge fiat CINQUECENTO to get me around. i really fancy doing the engine in the corrado but havent decided which route to go im considering a 20vt or a vr6 the vr6 is easy on the eye while the 20v is easy to tune so i have to weigh the pro and cons on both :(

Looking good man,

 

the 20v is an awesome engine right out the box, reliable and a perfect platform for tuning but you just can't beat the noise of a vr6 on song 8)

 

And again the vr6 is pretty much bulletproof so either way both engines will be reliable :)
