StormchargedVR6 0 Posted October 30, 2005 933 is the better looking, 4s turbo is the one/ my favorite. Still piss out oil Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vr6storm 0 Posted October 30, 2005 Only problem with the porka, is there bad for OIL leaks. Where i work thats all we do on the dam things. Biggest ones the rear main, rocker covers are not bad to do. A well maintained one fine , good sevice history. You may be lucky but its a high maintanance car. got it inspected at my local OPC prior to purchase,the only prob that cropped up was a slight leak from one of the rocker covers,which was sorted before picking it up,and yes know about the high maintenence costs :twisted: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chubbybrown 0 Posted October 31, 2005 Ok M8, Heres the tanker 8) The Mrs says she likes it and Hopes to see you out and about in it too. Roy :notworthy: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted October 31, 2005 Nice one Rodders, good to see a pic of it at last ;-) 993s are lovely to drive. I don't know about the 4 but the RWD ones have the most sublime steering 8) Bags of torque too, especially from the varioram version....which 'plips' when you turn the ignition on like a Shrek ;-) Am I sensing some more pierburg collaboration there? :-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
biggerbigneil 0 Posted November 3, 2005 Wow! Is that the same shape as the Porsche in Bad Boys? Thats my favourite Porsche! Nicer than the E46 M3 any day! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vr6storm 0 Posted November 3, 2005 Wow! Is that the same shape as the Porsche in Bad Boys? Thats my favourite Porsche! Nicer than the E46 M3 any day! not 100% sure but i think the one in badboys is a 964 model Turbo...which is the series previous to the 993 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pau1 0 Posted November 3, 2005 964 model Turbo You mean a 965 then just to be a Geek. Anyway Roddy was kind enough to take me out in his new toy. Loved it! I've always wanted one but id only ever been in a 911sc and a 964 C2 before. The 993 is by far the best one, obvioulsy. Well done Rod. Glad you are happy with it. Also just found this photo on my PC which i've had for years. I can't remember who's cars it is but it was someone who used to use the Corrado Yahoo Group, those where the days eh? :wink: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy Brookes 0 Posted November 3, 2005 Thats John Websters C and 993. I think he still has the 993 but sold the C a little while ago. I think Guy H still see's john now and again. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kerrinmay 0 Posted November 3, 2005 That pic makes the Porsche look quite big compared to the Corrado. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blair 0 Posted November 3, 2005 That pic makes the Porsche look quite big compared to the Corrado. It's also the first time I've seen a photo and thought the 'rado looks a bit dull - but then, almost anything would look dull next to that :) Nice car mate. Sorry to hear about the sad circumstances leading up to it, but a wise choice there. The sort of car you can keep forever (and, if you're anything like me, you probably will!). Like everyone else I'd love to own a 911 one day - can't see it happening unles my numbers come up on the lottery but hey, you never know. At least I owned a People's Porsche for a few years :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blair 0 Posted November 3, 2005 Sorry Rodders, I was referring to the early reviews of the Corrado - "The People's Porsche" as Car magazine called it (or at least I think it was them) :) It was down to them having it up against the 2.5l 944 - the G60 and 944 were pretty much neck and neck in terms of performance. As I remember it, the G60 was quicker round the corners but the 944 was more fun :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
