Chuggs1 10 Posted February 5, 2015 Looks like the Corrado will feature on the 5th March on fifth gear and will be on their new channel ... History. That is if the reply I just got on their Facebook page is accurate. So put that in your diaries Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hairyarse 10 Posted February 6, 2015 Oh nice one! They had one on it before when they looked at power increase just from servicing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chuggs1 10 Posted February 6, 2015 Someone else on here mentioned it would be on I just checked with them on Facebook when it would show! Looking forward to it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
g0ldf1ng3r 13 Posted February 6, 2015 Oh nice one! They had one on it before when they looked at power increase just from servicing. yeah that was the one from volks wizard near where i live & where the gf brought her storm i hope they do a bit more than just change the oil / plugs this time & then dyno it!!

Erallus 10 Posted February 6, 2015 Don't forget the Redex! :thumbleft: Which seemed to give them an extra 7 HP, from memory? lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim 1 Posted February 6, 2015 It's a totally different feature. Seemed to be something about good value pre-owned cars with 6 cylinders or more or 'V' engines? So I think they had a Corrado VR6, BMW M3 V8 and a Holden Monaro? Think they were all given a good thrash on a track too so should be a neat little feature! ahh.. found the forum thread.. my memory is better than I thought it would be :) http://forums.m3cutters.co.uk/showthread.php?t=112195 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chuggs1 10 Posted February 6, 2015 So Redex - is here a sarcastic edge to the comments above or does it actually work? Lol! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ray1965 10 Posted February 6, 2015 So Redex - is here a sarcastic edge to the comments above or does it actually work? Lol! I was one of the probably many what watched the episode and i did indeed go out and try the Redex. I didn't notice a great deal of power change tbh, but it did smooth the idle out a little bit. I just followed the instructions on the bottle over a few fuel stops. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
g0ldf1ng3r 13 Posted February 6, 2015 So Redex - is here a sarcastic edge to the comments above or does it actually work? Lol! for the few quid it costs it is worth whacking a bottle in a tank of petty however, if you regularly use v power i would imagine that keeps the injectors etc in pretty good condition the 7hp gain fifth gear saw was more likely due to giving the car a good service & putting new plugs etc in it rather than a 'magic' redex ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chuggs1 10 Posted February 6, 2015 Im certainly using V Power the majority of the time or if not near shell use another similar but on the whole mainly v power - as you say though for £5 worth bunging some in - cant do any harm.... can it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MarkR 11 Posted March 2, 2015 When I was looking for a Corrado a couple of years ago I just missed out on a good low mileage Storm (Green)in Wandsworth. The guy selling it was very friendly and told me he had received a very good price for it from 5th Gear. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim 1 Posted March 2, 2015 The car being featured isn't a Storm - it's a white VR (again) though don't think it's the Volkswizard one they used in the last feature. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would be nice if it was a forum car. Some non-forum owners seem to be a bit full of it, thinking their one is the best corrado ever. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its only when you come on here and see the work you guys are putting into your cars and some of the pictures that you realise your inadequacies! Lol!
