Q2. have a look here http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?t=80896&page=2 you can easy get a decent under seat sub however it's unlikely to actually go under the seat but they take up practically no room in the boot and sound just right :)

So I have a new oil pressue gauge (1 to 7 bar) can I just piggy back the wire to the gauge of one of the existing senders? or do I need to put in the gauges own sender, T-piece etc? and if I can piggy back it, which is it? thanks :)

I also found out recently that if you undo the front engine mount and jack the front of the engine up access becomes much easier.

A MK7 Ford Transit for work with Alloys, A bar/spots, remaped for more power. Not so much a car but still drive about in it quite a lot, an original 1964 Massey Ferguson 135 which I restored. The Corrado is for summer/weekends only. I have just managed to clear another bay in my garage of junk and am on the lookout for a MK1 GTi convertible just to really pose in :) ever since I saw one way way back in school I've always wanted one, so now would seem a good time but bieng extremly fussy I have yet to come accross a suitable candidate.

Just the other day I was speaking to a guy about the Corrado and he was saying " oh yes Corrados they were great especilly the Storm it went really fast, what a car " I didn't really have the heart to tell him it was just a badge really and they were the same engines but at least he knew what a Corrado was :) Also a while back at a burger van lay-by stop a lorry driver walked by and said " Nice looking Corrrado you've got there, very smart "

Well personally I think black wheels on anything look pants, but with a reason albeit maybe a little strange, when I see a car pass with black wheels it just like the car has thoses old rubbish wheels with the plastic look-a-like-alloy hub caps and they have lost them, a bit like this - except both are missing, and to me makes a car look cheap and nasty. I think it goes way back to my childhood when cars used to have shinny chrome hub caps and cars that had one or more missing were usually old scrappers, it's odd I know but I still feel that black wheels let a car down and make it look like a scrapper. So i'd go with anything thats not black :)

Wow ..great video and the Redex looks to be a good investment, I must say I always thought it worked but was never sure if it was my imagination or not, and as luck would have it I've just done most of that to my Corrado bar the plugs/leads I have the plugs but have yet to decide on leads. I've also just done the engine mounts which that rado looks like it needs doing at around 157/58 on the video you can see the engine lurch forward quite a bit.

Replaced front and rear engine mounts, was quite easy really, looking at gearbox mount tomorrow which doesn't seem so easy, lots of stuff in the way.

I would also take a set and would be up for spotlight protectors as well

Put on my 'new' wheels

I'd have the gear stick surround if you decided to split.
