    Nice interesting read! Im sure someone else has written something about the history of the Corrado on the forum! I just bought a VR and its the best car iv ever owned! Dont kno why it took me so long to get one! was in love with GTI's too much! especially the Anniversary edition MKIII that i had! which was great! But this is just in another league!

    I think i want another 1!!!

    I am new to the Corrado as only had mine for almost two weeks and already starting to make a list of bits I want to refresh n repair and its a pain knowing that I have to search eBay or scrapyards for parts or pay dealer prices for second hand bits!

     

    It is unacceptable for such a big producer of quality cars! Especially the Corrado!!! Which I think I would be buying a second or even third one!

     

    Start a petition guys!

     

    Vw need to know we are serious!!!

    Thanks guys! I have got Fk's, it's been confirmed by the guys at Stealth! Had a full service done including

    Oil & Filter

    Fuel Filter

    Coolant change from G11 to G12

    6 Platinum Spark Plugs from a TT

    Xenon HID kit loom replaced!

     

    Brake fluid couldn't be completed as something seized on the calipers.

     

    List of concerns:-

    1. Rear bushes worn.

    2. 1 wishbone, rear I think.

    3. Brake pipes on rear.

    4. Heatshield covering the CAT.

    5. Gearbox Mount.

     

    Not that bad considering previous owner had it garaged for most of its time during 3 years of ownership.

     

    Mileage is still very low. Just hit 59k

    Engine sounds sweet

    Bodywork needs some good polish and it should be a show stopper!

    Well at least for me but I am extremely fussy!

     

    But guess that's normal as I dnt drive a Saxo or Corsa!

    Yep. I kno wot u mean! Massive grin while Drivin around listening to that sweet sound!

    She has a bmc cda & I believe it's a Jetex exhaust under there?

     

    I hope I dnt have to spend too much getting it right.

     

    The elec windows were not working. Replaced fuse twice now, and seems to be ok.

     

    Xenons not working, ordered replacement box from Vince. And booked in a full service! Cnt take any chances!

    Hi All!

    After searching and dreaming for years, bought myself a Rado!

    All the advice n help welcome!

    As I am new to The Corrado, it's my first!

    Got the car on Wednesday, went to see Vince on Friday and on my way to Edition 38 today!

    Hope to get some ideas n bits! Hope to see some of you guys there...

     

    EDIT -

    I know it's had it's critics recently but I'm going to go for the 1/4mile strip. I heard that the handling course is also to be resurrected this year. Had a great time (and posted a good time) last year, so will be there again to see if new tyres, suspension and polybush action gets me into the 12s (was 13.2sec, 4.8sec 0-60 last year).

    Mines the green Storm with Black alloys if anyone sees me - say hello!

     

    Hi Greg!

    Which day you going?

    Looking forward to seeing the turbo'd beast again!

    Are you still having fun?
