  1. I still regret selling my first one 10 years ago, I had to break the second due to the bodged accident damage I found

     

    My current seems to spend more time in bits than on the road and needs a full re-spray at some point but I know if I were to sell I'd miss a Corrado in my life again

     

    The only car I regret selling more than my first G60 was my 3dr cossie

     

     

    Rather than a clio (which did not impress me at all when I drove a cup 172) have you thought of Polo GTI, same sort of size but probably a lot more reliable and has better tuning prospects.


  2. The coupes always seem to be the poor relation,

     

    just look at the rocco against the mk1 golf

     

    the rado against the mk2 & 3 Golf (although mk3s seem to be broken up in larger quantities)

     

    and now the rocco again against the mk5, 6 and 7 golfs

     

    I'd love a new rocco but I have a mk5 golf

     

    I saw a perfectly good rado g60 get broken the other day cos the guy had used the engine in a mk1 and had lost the will to put another engine in the rado,

    it was black with no to very little rust and a full heated, electric cream leather recaro interior

     

    upsetting...


  3. My rado had 170k mls on it and I had a freshly rebuilt 1.8T in the garage so it was a bit of a no brainer for me.

     

    I believe the newer systems are more reliable than the old k jet injections aswell and without stressing the engine and turbo to much I can get nearly 100bhp more than the old 1.8 16v with just a remap.


  4. Got this beam free when I bought a pair of mk4 calipers and braided hoses and have been thinking about cleaning it up, getting it powder coated and new bushes etc

     

    It has a fair bit of rust lumps falling off of it, do you think its to far gone?

    Sorry for the amount of pics but I wanted to give a good idea of its condition
