Price: 1500.00 GBP

Date added to Classifieds: 5th Jan 2012

Description:

Just putting up a feeler for this as I got a good insurance quote on another car I want and can't have 2 on the drive!

 

Basic spec is-

 

1989 UK Corrado 1.8 16v in Alpine White,

Tax until May 2012, MOT May 15th 2012,

From new GTi engineering RE2000 engine conversion which comprises of the following-

 

Steel crankshaft of 92.8mm stroke,

Cylinder block specially machined with 82.5mm bore,

Lead-Indium heavy duty crankshaft bearings,

Alloy pistons with valve clearance cut-outs,

Gasflowed cylinder head,

Re-profiled inlet and exhaust valve throats,

Gasflowed inlet and exhaust manifold,

Selected valve springs,

Modified injection system.

 

I'm unsure on whether it has GTi engineering camshafts in it, but it goes bloody well for a 16v!

Quoted power of 175bhp, previous owner had 149bhp at the wheels on a dyno.

 

Weitec Hicon GT coilovers,

Supersprint backbox with straight through centre section,

Full heated black leather interior,

Single wiper conversion,

Full respray in alpine white with smoothed front and rear numberplate recess's.

15x7 BBS RZ's in black

 

 

Engine runs spot on, when I bought the car it was in a sorry state, blocked breather hoses, sensors unplugged and missing etc, but I've sorted it all to how it should've been.

I replaced both fuel pumps recently with secondhand items.

 

The car also has had the following replaced with new items -

Both nearside CV joints,

Offside outer CV boot,

Both balljoints,

both ARB droplinks,

Front engine mount,

Gearbox mount,

Dipstick tube,

Oil (5w30 fully synthetic with new filter),

Coolant flush and replace,

New heater matrix (valve bypassed),

Top radiator hose,

HT leads,

Spark plugs,

Air filter (K&N panel),

OSF wheel bearing.

 

I have replaced the clocks, but removed the original speedo and put it in this set as the MPG gauge wasn't working properly.

Spoiler works as it should (didn't when I bought it!)

I have also replaced the front engine mount and oil cooler.

 

 

The interior is in very good condition, all seats and doorcards+steering wheel are black leather, the front 2 being heated. The headlining has been re trimmed in black suede.

The sunroof opens and closes as it should on the button, along with everything else. The only thing that doesn't work on the interior is the glovebox light lol.

The car has JVC front components, and some other make rears, with a new Sony MP3/Aux headunit.

 

 

The car was previously resprayed in Alpine white before I bought it so it looks pretty fresh. The front and rear numberplate recess's have been smoothed over.

There are a couple of bits of rust coming through, one tiny bit on the rear nearside arch (at the bottom), and a tiny piece around the top of the windscreen.

The nearside front wing has been repaired in the past and when the arches were rolled some filler that was in the arch came out. I will supply a replacement wing with the car, but it will need painting (I will try and get this painted and on the car). The exhaust is blowing where the backbox joins the system too.

 

I have a few spares to include with the sale including,

New rear engine mount,

Spare set of clocks (missing speedo),

Spare spoiler relay,

Both front wipers and mechanism,

Stainless Backbox I got with the car,

1x P-slot (used as spare wheel),

1x Parcel shelf with 6x9 cutouts,

Rear wiper and motor,

Original grill and rear 16v badge,

probably some other bits I've forgot to mention.

 

The car will come on a set of black BBS RZ's (15x7) with good tyres, or I can include the Rota Grid V's pictured (now metallic grey/bronze colour) for an extra £500.

 

Any questions just PM me.

Price is £1500 on the BBS's, the price is more than other 16v's due to the engine and interior, worth £1400 alone.

 

Here are some pictures for now, I will get better ones tomorrow.

 

As the car stands now but with grey wheels.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Colour of the rotas now-

 

More pictures of the car-

 

I have some new pictures.

 

The car will comes on a set of black BBS RZ's (E30 ones, 15x7) for £1500 as it is, with the standard leather steering wheel and all the spares I have.
