[davidwort 0]

As the title really, what's everyone planning or wanting to do to their cars in the new year ahead?

[CazzaVR 0]

3.68 final drive + lightened flywheel.

 

What about you?

[davidwort 0]

Respray time for the 16v I think, and a few smaller jobs like a schrick cam I've aquired for the 8v and possibly p&p the head.

[daves16v 1]

Alloys, chains and tensioners.

[dragon green 4]

Put the interior back in,plus the new heater box i have in my loft,

when i finally get it back from the bodyshop, then .................................................................

drive it till the wheels fll off ! lol

[Critical_Mass 10]

What i want to do and what i can are two different things :lol: will be saving for wedding so money will be put into that.

 

BUT, if i cant the chance, i want to swap the interior seats, get the alloys resprayed or even changed. Most of all, i want to get the car resprayed but that wont be for a while yet :(

Need the cambelt doing and going to change the timing chain, leather seats, New hidden Ariel and a decent sound system and eventually a respray and enjoy!

[coullstar 0]

288's, baffles sump, gearbox build with different gears, TT wishbone bushes and change wheels about 432 times. Either that or buy an S2 and leave the Corrado sitting doing nowt.

[Macdaddy 10]

Paintwork/respray bumpers, new exhaust, engine bay detailed, and if possible remove random underside bits for powder coating.

[fla 9]

alloy refurb, tyres, 264 cams, OBD2, some more soundproofing (!) re-respray of bumpers

[James. 7]

Not enough room in the "quick reply" box.

 

I'll say "mudflaps", and leave it there for the moment.

[Swompy 0]

Remap, bigger brakes, powder coated parts from underneath, partial respray, just to name a few

 

And just enjoy a working corrado...............how every long it lasts!

[carrots 1]

get my spare wings ready for paint,maybe fit um and get the hole car painted.depending on cash

[KADVR6 0]

fit a diff and 3.68 fd, get the front bushes all replaced, then get it charged.

[BILLCOR 1]

Recaro's fitted, CH's fitted, Rolled and sealed front wings fitted, Rear arch welded in, Full respray, that is all

Refit passenger seat thats been out for months due to back lol..... Cables on heater controls and getting all 4 speeds back on the heater which was fine all summer and died for winter (can I get a whole new 4 speed unit from anywhere?). Fit vibratech front mount and possibly fit the U-bend and FMIC thats sitting in the garage along with the replacement front callipers.

 

Biggest annoyance for me is the front bumper has hung off since I've owned it and I have two sitting to go on (std and flushed plate) so want that as a priority really. As it will need paint freshened up on the bumper do I get the rear arches rolled at the same time and fit the 8 and 9" RC's instead of the 7.5's?? Also some stone chips on the front need attention.

 

To be fair to the car it has been my daily all year and needs only minor attention and has been a bloody joy to own and drive.

 

Ooops, oil change is a must.

Finally get the new VAG suspension fitted to the VR thats been under the bed for two years along with a rear beam refurb :) and off course a few other bits underneath when funds allow :)

To get rid simples !!! corrado ownership just grates my testicles and six years of grief and thousands spent i am giving up.

so my vr is up for sale now .

[24V Renshaw 0]

Strange way to advertise it, but Corrados are definitely a love hate thing. :)

[Jim 1]

Got a black leather interior lined up to go into the car in January hopefully, and then thinking about some paintwork. Have to say though "life" and other interests have really meant the Corrado has taken a back seat for the last few months, especially now I have another car.. hoping the VR doesn't end up going the way of the 16V and just getting sold!

[24V Renshaw 0]

Wish I knew what 2012 will hold for the rado. I do know it will be driven to work everyday and it will be gradually sorted, but to what extent..... Who knows. :)
