yacobwood 0 Posted January 31, 2011 I'm on the hunt for a 16v and just a little curious how my 8v would fair in the market place. Do'nt really know if anybody is after 8v's. Its 135k miles but never skips a beat. Grey cloth (no scuffs). What you all think? :scratch: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted January 31, 2011 They normally sell pretty well :) Fairly desirable given the good fuel economy and reliable engine.. and generally they've not been thrashed / abused as much! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Walesy 0 Posted January 31, 2011 Why would you want to sell an 8v for a 16v mate? 8v's are in a different league :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yacobwood 0 Posted January 31, 2011 Admittedly, the 8v is an amazing run about. Cheap, economical and no problems. But ive had it for two years now and i want to experience other types of C's Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CazzaVR 0 Posted January 31, 2011 I agree- I wouldn't swap an 8v for a 16v... I'd only swap one for a VR or a G60. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PeteL 0 Posted January 31, 2011 Got any pictures/more details buddy? I could be in the market for one... Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But ive had it for two years now and i want to experience other types of C's In that case, try and find a nice G60 or VR6 :) Seriously, you'll regret getting rid of your 8v (especially if it's a decent one) for a 16v!

boost monkey 0 Posted January 31, 2011 The 16v head flows better, and opens up the engine in the top end. It all depends on your driving style. The 8v should be more torquey in the midrange. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yacobwood 0 Posted January 31, 2011 By bro has a mint 16v and every time i drive it, i love it :D I just want to build up and have experience in all Corrado's. I would love a VR or a G60 but im 22 and have a fair few years left to see them all :) Im currently working on the advert and will take some pics. It wont be till late feb at the earliest until i think about selling it tho. I need to raise funds for a cheap in between car or if im lucky, the right 16v will come along straight away :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The 8v should be more torquey in the midrange. :lol: An 8v never produces more torque than a 16v. :lol: yep, they are basically on a par under 4000 revs, but don't forget 8v's don't have the same running problems as most 2L 16v's :lol: I've a fairly quick (relatively new engined) 16v and the old bog standard (16yr old engine) 8V is very nice to drive in comparison, don't forget the block is basically identical so it's only really top end (affected by head flow and cam profile) that is different. There isn't much between K-jet and Digifant, but the 2.0L 8v flavour of Digifant does seem to help economy and smoothness a little. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Walesy 0 Posted February 3, 2011 Yip,its just a much better engine all round 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted February 3, 2011 If you want want make a reference to 8V v 16V, then please make it 1.8 8V K Jet versus 1.8 16V K jet!! The Digifant 8Vs are feckin horrible. Gutless, rough and noisy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
