delfinis38 1 Posted March 12, 2015 (edited) Yes, Initially i wanted Stealth to replace timing chain / new clutch / rebuild heads, then add a little remap to it too (£2000)... But the garage bill killed that off :( Why what s happened to yours? Nothing.... just keep it in the garage these days (future classic maybe only 40K on clock) bought it new in 1995. used it for about 4 years until 2000... then had other interest and other cars. I drive a new 4 series bmw coupe these days and have a polo for messing about in. corrado never gets neglected though it just sit in the garage and I normally play / service it in the summer when its warm..... I have a longish private drive that it regularly gets driven up and down. mines here wayne if your interested... http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?t=80990&highlight=delfinis38 Edited March 12, 2015 by delfinis38 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

seanl82 23 Posted March 13, 2015 (edited) Glad she's running well Wayne, heres to a bit of happy motoring for you! :thumbleft: Edit: Fingers crossed the gear oil replacement makes a good bit of difference. Bit of advice, the syncro meshes are notoriously poor, so make sure your at, or very nearly at a complete stand still before engaging first.

And THATS what i missed :) :) :) ;) yeee haarrr! thats the puppy! i go the long way most time the sun is out & the roads are dry, 20 miles to my local corner shop i will have you know ;) pmsl how were your oil & water temps m8? handle can be sorted & hopefully the gearbox oil refresh will help the crunch - have you fitted the short shifter yet? i found that took away much of the sloppyness in gear stick feel & stopped my occassional 2nd to 2rd crunch when booting it PS did you know there is a programmable intermittent wiper function? ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
