  1. ok so im 18 and the my corrado is already fast (for a first car :D anyway)

    say if i wer to get it quicker,not faster,what could i do?/?

    i have had a thought about performance chips but none seem to come up for the 16v

     

    thnx for readin and any help is really appreaciated

     

    craig


  2. good one mate! always nice to see a rado givin powerful cars a run for their money

    i gave a 700(i think) (he is a mate of mine aswell) bike a race today, i knew there was no chance in hell i would beat it but it was fun tho! he fu**ing flew past me when i was doing 110!!!


  3. That torque curve is certainly NOT from a "standard" 2.0 16V!!

     

    First off, it's torque is peaking at only 3.5k rpm and tailing off - standard 2.0 16V is definitely the other way about. Second - redline is too low for a "normal" 16V, iirc they go to 7.5k rpm.

     

    Looks more like a turbo 8v engine, or even a G60. Suppose it could be a 2.0 8V with G60 conversion, but there's no way that's a "standard" 2.0 16V...

     

    Tip: listen for a little whistling noise when it starts "really going for it"...

     

    i always wondered what that whistling noise is when i give the rado a bit of welly...still have no real clear indication of what it is

     

    although speaking to the previous owner he said that he had a receipt that a g60 engine was put in it, then i think he said a 16v was put back in...not really sure what he said

    is it possible that g60 parts in my car are making the "whistling" noise???

    but my engine looks like a 16v (sorry for my newbieness and that last comment will probably make you laugh..im not ver engiine literate!)
