probably dropping another car off it only cost me the a few quid for the european breakdown cover, then it cost the AA £1500 to recover it back to my front door. there was talk of them writing it off and sending me a cheque for the market value of the car, but convinced them it was worth more than that! at least its home and been spotted, just wish i was in when it was spotted!

thats mine comin home from germany. just a slight technical problem so not going to its grave!

its just the engine cover that makes it look like its leaning! the pipe is a 6 series bmw exauhst pipe, not the best but it cost nout and does the job! no point being to down beat about it, if worst comes to worse ill buy another donar car and make a few quid breaking it :)

I was over there a couple of weeks ago only rado came back on transporter rather than been driven! got to agree that belguim roads were in a bad way, had a few clench your bum moments and there is nothing worse than the sound of your tyre hitting the arch!

A few weekago a few of us whent road trip to the nurburgring for a friends stag do and iv got to say what a weekend. meet at the services top gear style. me and my brother arrived first in the corrado, second to arrive was three lads in a off road trials preped discovery, third two lads in £600 audi coupe bought the week before, third and final was a hairdresser in an mx5 bought an hour earlier for £650 on the sellers recomendation that it he would drive a thousand miles in it tomorow! i shall let the photos do the talking: clean the rado set the tom tom luxembuorge (Staying at a friends flat!) onto the ferry boat just after midnight Stop in belguim at first light for juice and to top the discoveries transfer box up! Hit some traffic on the autobahn! Whent to look at my new car! After a night out in luxenbourge and a day at a top museum (trust me its better than it sounds!) we arrived at the ring in darkness, as morning broke we woke to this :) the hotel with the guy we stayed ats focus rs, his friend also joind us in mk5 r32. The ring carpark on the ring what the ring did to my car :( the shame a silly mistake caused us to blow the head and possibly worse! The rado returned home the other day two weeks after us at great expense to the AA. despite the little "problem" we all had a top noch experiance and would recomend it to any petrol head. the GP track was also included which was a nice supprise. had a passenger ride in the r32 to "show us round", what a car! me and my brother managed a lap each in the rado before it give up as we were coming off. Happy Times :) the cronicles of owning a corrado continue

ill be there but not sure if the corrado will be running again by then!

friend of mine bought one of these blind for 600 quid the other week then drove 1600 miles around europe over 4 days, never let him down which is more than can be said for my corrado which came home on a transporter! that includes him hammering it round the nurburgring 4 times and generally givin it a hard time! i do like, crackin little slipper ;)

Recent trip to the Nurburgring and friend found these on the internet!

out of interest, what the scrapper give you for the shell? only askin as i have a shell at the side of the house! (PM me if you preffer) sad times for Candy :(

i would recomend 30mm all round for arch clearance but recon you could probably get away with 35mm all round with a bit of arch work!

i was runnin d90's 8 n 7 with 30mm addaptors all round and 195/45/16 tyres, if i did it again only thing i would change is to 195/40/16 tyres!

my renewal quote came through the other day, last year 450 and this year 1650.....no claims or anything!!! you can guess were they can shove it!

[quote name= some er "scars" where the previous owner ground the adaptor off..... adaptor on QUOTE] whats wrong with the conventional way of unbolting!!!!???? good to see you back :)

you may have seen my 16v about, dark grey G reg thats anything but a bit slow! had a few things go wrong but there probably my fault anyway but i wouldnt say it was unreliable! feel free to come have a ganda/ride, wigan aint that big so cant be far away. not the best example but it works for me :)

bit of an update on the image front moving the donar how do you get a car with no engine up a hill? the fruit of a couple months work got me some borbet A's 7.5j up front 9j at the back yes the splitter had to come off for the mot cos it was to low! car running like a dream now and im slightly addicted to the sound of turbo spool ;) off to germany (the ring) in her on thursday so she better behave, although it would save on fuel hitching a ride home on the back of an AA truck!

supprised iv not seen this cant be far away from me, not like is miss it!!!!

he did out the good of his heart, if he ever wants anything breaking im sure i can help him with that!!!!!

im goin there next week but doubt ill be drivin like that!

I got my renewal through the other day from lancaster, its gone from £450 last year to £1650 this year with the only differance bein that i have an extra years claim and endorsment free drivin under my belt. adrian flux quoted me a little over a grand, will give chris a call me thinks!

if carlsburg made corrados there would be ;) ill post some pics of the bearing up....its a mess!

will 7.5j et35 16 wheels fit a 16v? i know they will fit under the arches, just not sure about it catchin the springs!

iv got 7j n 8j with 30mm addaptors and 195 45 16 tyres, ill be sellin soon if interested?

Took it in for MOT yesterday and it whent straight through :) then I paid the government a considerable sum of money and whent for a blast seein as it sunny and what an engine......so smooth and responsive, well chuffed with it ;) but to piddle on my fire one of the rear bearings let go big time, lukily near home but yet another job problem that puts it off the road again :( the quest for the faultless corrado continues!!!!

maybe, as above
