Not really - Just the Corrado Estate...

I like the corrado estate, vagely looks like that coupe volvo from mid nineties, 430 was it !?!?......

[Jim Bowen 1]

480 turbo?

 

i still like them, was a nice black one in work the other day, looked nice with the subtle mods

I think that you can use the rear from a Polo combi and weld it to Corrado to get the combi look... 8)

Those volvo 480 t are painfully slow. mate had one a few years back he bought it cheap and found out why..... I had a scirroco gtx at the time and could never do me off the lights or any where..... :cheers:

well we've had 2 480 Turbos. I wouldn't agree with them being slow once they have they have had the 'secret' mod done to them. I really enjoyed driving them.

You think Corrado's can be unreliable, own 2 480's at the same time :cuckoo: Engine out just to replace the clutch!

 

 

 

 

Both were pushing about 170BHP and weigh about 1045KG - so not too shabby :)

did I miss something but whats the secret mod out of interest ?

[lauraJ 0]

it's called the Richmod after a guy called rich. It tunes the standard 120 bhp to the 170bhp. The story goes that the engine was orignally tuned by Porsche, but Volvo thought it was to quick so they de-tuned it ( :cuckoo: ). Hence so much power can be unlocked by the Richmod.
