Hazg40 10 Posted May 4, 2015 Hi everyone! I've been looking on the forum for a long while but never ever posted, unfortunately my current corrado ownership has just ended as I have just had to break my 16v :-(, however atleast it will hopefully keep some others on the road. After encountering a non starting car, some hacked up interior loom, a poorly fitted immobiliser, a host of earthing issues a clutch on its way out, general suspension and bush woes from a 175K car, constant loss of water, a spoiler that works on tuesdays enough was enough and it had to go (I also own a Polo G40 and a mk2 scirrocco scala so had my hands full already) BUT the draw of a corrado continues. It wont be too long before I look to pick up another one as I already miss it after just one year of ownership. Thanks to the inspiration from David Wort, Kevin Bacon and number of other users articles on here I even collected all the parts to go for a 2.0 bottom end conversion and then found myself purchasing a set of zx9r carbs and a number of other goodies late one night (a product of corona and late night ebay surfing). And if your reading this contemplating the purchase of a corrado then please don't let it put you off I was just unlucky to have everything happen at once. Personally I haven't driven anything that's given me quite the same feeling from a standard car and gotten so many questions about a car from passers by. Hopefully I can help out where I can with my experiences, Cheers Rich. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
