    Corrado R32 4WD - Coxy's old car

     

    Hi all,

     

    The time has come for me to finally move on from modified car ownership, so it is with a heavy heart that I will finally be offering my Corrado R32 for sale.

     

    This car was built mainly by a well known member of the forum, coxy. The build thread is here: http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?t=12027

     

    I have owned the car for about five years and used it fairly sparingly. Because of the nature of buying a running project there was some development still required when I purchased the car and this has been undertaken mainly by reknown VW specialists, J-tech and the phirm.

     

    As of now, I would describe the car as being fully mechanically and electrically sorted. It runs, drives and stops just like an R32 golf, just in a Corrado shell.

     

    A brief spec of the car is:

     

    R32 Engine

    Schrick cams

    100mm BMC air filter

    Custom 6 branch manifold made by Simpsons Race Exhausts

    Slimline fans

    Black Forest industry's engine mounts

    Custom Subframe integrating Mk4 dogbone mount

    R32 O2M gearbox

    Full 4wd running OE haldex

    Full R32 management

    KW V.3 coilovers

    Eibach front ARB

    Eibach strut brace

    Passat syncro 25mm rear ARM

    Dutchdub toe & camber adjusters on rear

    New Genuine VW front wishbones and bushes

    New genuine VW rear wishbone bushes

    Brembo Porsche 4 pot calipers

    330mm disks on separate bells

    280mm disks on rear

    New door window seals

    New roof gutter trims

    New headlight lenses

    New bora vents

    Mk6 golf steering wheel

    R32 clocks in mk4 dash

    Recaro seats

    Alpine ipod head unit

     

    I am sure there are lots of things that I have not mentioned, but those are the main points I can think of. If you have any questions, please ask.

     

    The car will be sold with 12 months MoT

     

    Unfortunately, the interior is not finished. It needs a headlining, and inho, the interior plastics trimming. I have all of the parts, some spares, some new OE stuff, so with the car, all my Corrado parts will be included.

     

    I have listed the car as offers. Quite embarrassingly, I have spent ?30,000 on the car. Quite obviously I won't see anywhere near this back, but I am open to listening to sensible offers. The car is located in Reading, Berkshire

     

    List Date: 5/4/2015

    Location: Binfield, United Kingdom

    Well, as they say, the time has come...

     

    Perhaps like Coxy before, I seem to have got to the age where modifying cars doesn't seem to hold my interest any longer.

     

    As such, I will be putting the Corrado up for sale shortly. It's a sad day but time moves on and it had to come. During my time of ownership I concentrated on getting the mechanicals and electrics 100% spot on. Ideally I would like the car to go to someone who will finally finish it cosmetically. If anyone is interested in the car, please drop me a note,

     

    Thanks,

     

    Neal.

    I have added my final pile of bits before Christmas. Central locking solenoid so you can remote open a mk2. Central locking parts, locks, handles, sunroof mechanism, bonnet release + clutch cables, plus a few engine internals for a KR Gti 16v such as oil pump and some flanges and other bits and bobs. As before, all 99p with no reserve. Collection welcome.

     

    Thanks for looking.

    Hi Neal, I know from experience from swapping a coilover kit from a Mk2 Golf to a Corrado, this made the rear of the corrado sit high. I have done it on both a 16v and a G60 and the same thing occurred.

     

    Let me have a think, is postage an option at all?

     

    Hello mate,

     

    Thanks for your experience there. Postage would not be a problem if you needed it.

     

    Thanks,

     

    Neal.

    Are these for a Mk2 Golf? I assume so seeing no mk2 Corrado exists. Also if they are golf then the rear springs will mean a Corrado sits high. Despite that I am interested for my Mk2. Are they adjustable as I can't make out the pictures on my phone.

     

    Hi there,

     

    Working from my old and deteriorating memory, I thought that Mk2 golf 16v and 4 stud 16v corrado's ran the same springs / dampers? The koni website is inconclusive as no springs are listed for the corrado, and the only suspension kit is for a VR.

     

    The spring platform is adjustable on the rear shocks, held in place by a circlip by the look of things. The dampers are not adjustable.

     

    Let me know if that helps at all,

     

    Thanks,

     

    Neal.

    Hi all,

     

    I have a set of matching koni dampers and springs for a mk2 16v golf. These will also phsically fit a corrado, though they would be more suited to a 16v. Potentially an issue with the rear ride height as pointed out below. All in good working condition. Cosmetically they look a little grubby but they always do. Would make a nice fast road / track setup. I would like £100 for these, collected from Reading.

     

    Thanks for looking,

     

    N.
