JUST BROUGHT MY CORRADO!!!!

[h100vw 0]

early dash(up to mid 92) has mk2-style heater controls.

 

Which don't go wrong

 

later dash mid 92> has classier looking rotary heater controls.

 

Which do :lol:

 

 

The 2 litre is controlled by a version of K-jetronic, it has been refined with the addition of lambda control to allow it to be 'cleaner' than the 1800. Not a patch on the ABF 16V from a mk3 Golf though, which has digifant management.

 

I am sure you'll enjoy whichever you buy Neil.

 

I had an 1800 and for relatively little money you can improve the way they look, go and stop.

You should probably be prepared to spend a bit on "maintenance" type activity as the 'Rados are getting on a bit now. The car I picked up was a very tidy G60 but it still needed things like brake compensator valves, new rear calipers, rear suspension bushes, front bushes etc. Things that you can't see! They aren't that cheap to run which is something I learned v quickly after buying mine! It certainly shouldn't put you off though :)

Hi Neil. If you want someone to come with you when your viewing then im not a million miles away from Sheffield 8) and any excuse to go looking at C's :lol:

JBOB would love that please, just need to kep an eye out now.

 

Think ill go with the 1.8 16v for reasons stated above.

 

JBOB, do you recon chesterfield Auction would be worth a look, i know its abit risky from auctions, but might find one.

 

Cheers for all your replys guys :D

hi m8,welcome.

 

the 1.8 16v is 139 bhp as standard.

 

2.0 16v is 136 bhp as standard,as said above these run a cat and also a softer inlet cam.

 

personally id go for the 1.8 16v,it dosnt need a cat,which then allows you to chuck in a 2.0 16v lump (with kr 1800 inlet cam and no cat!) which obviously unleashes more power/torque.

 

and then id stick it on t/bodies 8) :lol:

 

that was my plan anyway,but ended up with a g.

 

neil.

:lol: I was just about to post that :lol:

 

Im not sure that auctions would be a good idea as ive been to quite a few round here and have never seen a C and the quality of the cars havent been to good :(

 

Best bet would be sales like the one above or Auto trader.

[GIXXERUK 0]

and lots of bear money will be involved!

 

 

hmmm yeah i can tell you dont drink , makes you grizzly ;-)

[GIXXERUK 0]

it was a play on the spelling beer - bear

the 1.8 16v is 139 bhp as standard.

 

2.0 16v is 136 bhp as standard

 

The 1.8 16v as found in the Mk2 Golf GTi is 139bhp. The Corrado version has a smaller diameter inlet manifold and is tuned for extra torque at lower revs. As a result the peak horsepower of the Corrado 1.8 16v is quoted at 136bhp - the same as the 2.0 16v.

My best advice would be to take your time. You’d only regret it if you went for the first one to come along and it turned out to be **** The offers still there if you need a second pair of eyes just let me know :D

[-Neil- 0]

Yeah id love it if you could come to look at a C with me as i have NO idea about them.

If you know of any around your area as well bob let me know, id pay you for your trouble.

i now know Im after a 1.8 16v. Preff not modified as i'd like to do it myself. mainly Lowering on a coil over kit and alloys.

[JBOB 0]

""id pay you for your trouble""

 

No you wont :lol: I wouldn’t even think about taking your money mate 8)

 

Ill keep my eyes and ears open this weekend for you. I know a guy in Hudds that buys a lot of C's mainly to break but ill see what he’s got :D

[-Neil- 0]

that would be amazing!

Im planning in getting a C within the next 4 weeks! so im defo serious!

 

Ive got from the 6th august till 13th off, so that gives me 7 days of hard graft to find one!

And going about in my Gf's 1ltr Old micra, with 4 gears, lmao!

 

If you hear anything let me know.

 

Oh btw do you have msn?

if you could raise your budget by £200-£300 maybe you could make an offer on this one....looks like a bloody good buy to me....

[Louie Lungbubble 0]

That grey one looks lovely (always liked the grey C's) but it has got the later bonnet on what should be an early car. Draw your own conclusions

Oh, and I'd want it for a few hundred quid cheaper than he's asking.

 

May be worth a look though.

[-Neil- 0]

does anyone rate this one, its in York, might be worth a look?
