Is the audi still going ok???? think thats when i fried my clutch! an yeah mk2 is pretty tidy couple of small bits need tidying up but a good base for me to use an audi is still goin good mate think the clutch is starting to slip a bit though but ive been told its not too bad a job i know most of you will think im mad but i have my reasons, the corrado will be going up for sale at some point as its taking up room :cuckoo: neil would love to hear your reasons :lol: looks a good condition mk2 though, white is the colour which is doing it for me to at the min!! basically just cos its not clean enough for me would need a full respray for me to be happy an id rather put that money elsewhere plus ive just got a thing for mk2's just feel more raw than a corrado god knows what it will be like with thw 20v lump in!

neil20vtc 0 Posted October 9, 2014 well after using the corrado as my daily for the past few years its now in need of a bit of tlc so i have taken it off the road the plan is to treat it to nice new bolts and powdercoated goodies for underneath a fresh lick of paint and to stick a turbo on it! i have decided to give turboing it a go myself and will be doing this first slowly taking my time then once its been running and im happy with it i plan on pulling the motor out getting the car sprayed and fitting the fresh running gear along with the engine after its been spruced up a bit i went as far as booking myself in to do a evening course at college doing tig welding so i can make my own downpipe plus i just think it would be something good to be able to do, but the original nite was full and the extra one they were going to put on didnt get enough numbers so im going to have to wait until feb to get started on that anyways i have been collecting a few turbo parts and also started stripping bits off the car ready here are some pictures the powdercoated bits and oem bolts washers bushes bearings etc were the stuff that useoncedestroy was selling on here someone local to me had bought them and they came up on my local forum when he was selling his corrado and some of how far i have got taking the car to bits hopefully this will clean up and be ok powdercoated as i didnt get this in the bundle of stuff and thats about where im at, so not far! have also removed the downpipe which was a right pita as could not get the cat off so took some time rithing around on the floor trying to manouvre it out!

Tigerfish 10 Posted October 9, 2014 Good start on the strip down. I'd stick some rags down the inlet holes though before something gets dropped in there :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
