  1. Options are limited and probably expensive unfortunately

    A rebore / rebuild will cost in excess of £3k plus the cylinder head

    A second hand engine will probably require a rebuild unless you are very lucky and find something decent

    24v conversions aren't straight forward

     

    Good luck anyway :(


  2. That looks a proper beast Daren. Great that you could keep the Corrado this time.

     

    It is a properly awesome thing thanks Chris

    Noise, performance and handling + 4 seats which is great with the family

    They don’t photograph particularly well, look much more interesting in the flesh

    Very lucky to keep the Corrado too

    That will always be the keeper 8)


  3. A couple of outings in the Corrado this year so far, Stanford Hall back in early May and last weekend Deutchfest at Brands Hatch where a few of us got to enjoy a couple of parade laps around the circuit courtesy of Vw Heritage 8)

    A good day out and Jez & I won a little award in the Show & Shine. Very nice :)

    Also picked up a new stablemate for the Corrado 8)

    Some of you may remember my last M car, the e46 which I regretfully sold my last Vr6 to buy and then subsequently didn't enjoy the Bmw, sold it soon after and found myself the current Corrado.

    That was 4 years ago and in that time I hankered after another M3 but didn't want to sell the Corrado but after much grovelling to the wife she allowed me to get this E92.

    My main dis-like of the E46 was actually the manual gearbox, found the clutch heavy & the box clunky.

    No such problem with this E92 though as it has the DCT box which is excellent :)

    Owned the car for a month now and loving it, a superb machine 8)

    Had a good day out here yesterday, though not a great turnout of Corrados or cars and spectators in general, maybe today will be busier.

    Highlight was a couple of parade laps of the circuit , really good 8)

    Vw Heritage put a lot of effort into the event and I think it was enjoyed by everyone

    Bonus also Jez and myself won an award in the Show and Shine comp, some cleaning gear and a little plaque, well worth the effort as it was free entry too :)


  5. Hi Michael

    It might be worth you sitting in the back of the car with someone else driving, if you hold the top of the strut while driving along you might be able to feel the clunk which could be in the strut itself.

     

    That’s if you trust anyone to drive your car!! :)
