Nice looking car and even better mk1 in the background. Welcome

Looks like I need 4 rubbers

Nice website. Thanks Bill

It's been a long time since the last update. Been busy working them been made redundant and had no money to drive it or do anything with it. Now finally after 4 months I managed to find a new job and decided to fix all the advisory's from last MOT. Main one re headlights not reflecting light properly, they still passed MOT last year but I want to make them perfect. Looks like someone before used 100w bulbs and they went yellow and at the top of reflector and someone already stick some reflective tape which was all gone by now.

Lights are stripped down and will be sent away for re mirroring.

My next jobs advisory are 4 brake pipes, surface rust, already had a look at them and it's nothing, so a bit of wire brush and black hammerite paint should sort it out.

Third and last adviroey are perished exhaust rubbers, so I'm just going to replace all of them with brand new ones.

Car is going to be sorned till next summer and kept in the garage as due to my new job I will have no time to use it as most of the time I will be away from home.

Want to replace all of them and I'm running miltek catback. Anyone can tell me how many rubber hangers the whole exhaust system have ?

My car is away in a garage in different place so can't check it atm.

Great car. If I only had £2k more in my saving account I'd be there to but it. GLWS

ebay, autotrader, pistonheads should give you an idea for the price.

HID's are grate and all my cars have/had them. No issues so far at MOT.

It's only the matter of time before you will be back with another one :D

Welcome, put some pictures up.

Very cool stuff

I'm happy to pay a serious amount but not insane...

Looks like cloth ones goes between £1500 and £2000 depending on conditions.

I've seen leather ones sold above £3k.

Brake it on parts, keep rare parts and sell the rest, then buy another Corrado. Simplessss :)

I've found a few sets already, but mostly crazy prices or in Europe where logistics of shipping have made the deal impossible, the hunt continues! ;)

Trust me, unless seller has no idea what his got u need to pay a top dollar for them. I've sold mine for more that I paid for very nice Corrado storm :)

Still looking...

One day you will find them

Made in 1983 so remember and had all of them at some point. That was a different times. Better times I'd say :)

You are mad but I know that feeling :)

Good luck with your search

 

Keep in mind Holsets are cheap diesel engine turbos built for mega miles, so they're tough, but may not give the spool characteristics you're looking for.

Yep, good point and I know about it so the one I've got is a custom built quick spool turbo with 12cm housing instead typical 16cm.

It wouldn't benefit at all,exhaust gases pulse, going to 3" then back to 2.5" would hit power !

What system have you got at the moment ?

Most performance systems are 2.25"

I think its Miltek 2.25" and I was thinking about making 2.5" downpipe with a reductor at the end to fit the exhaust at 2.25" but after doing some research found that everybody are fitting 3" downpipe in VRT so thought it is worth asking the question if its worth going from 2.5" to 3" downpipe to 2.25" exhaust as it make no sense to me.

If I had a 3" turbo outlet I'd go for 3" downpipe.

Having 2.5" turbo outlet my understanding is that I should go for 2.5" downpipe.

Getting bored again so had some thoughts about putting a turbo to my VR6. Just need my hands getting dirty again :)

Thing is that I have a brand new spare Holset HX35 sitting in a box. The outlet is a 2.5 v-band style. My exhaust is 2.25" or 2.5" stainless steel and I'm not planing to change it.

Looks like a downpipe will be custom made by myself and I can use a 2.5" V-Band TO 3" V-Band adapter and plug it in between turbo and dwonpipe.

Is it just worth going from 2.5 to 3 and then back to (2,25-2.5) exhaust.

What would be pros and cons between going 2,5" all the way and putting 3" downpipe and leaving everything else at 2.5" ??

Welcome another Scottish Corrado owner :)

Rear looks great, front could do with some modifications but overall I like it

VR6 turbo downpipe needed. Preferred v-band one.

Other parts considered like 4" maf housing, intercoller, exhaust manifold, short intake, 38mm waste gate, blow off etc. Basically everything except ecu, injectors and turbo.

Nice looking car. welcome

Its hard to sell Corrado nowdays unless its a very low mileage minter.

hehe, briliant
