Brian, good to see you put up a pic, this in one clean and straight corrado lads!

 

[markmcie]

Any mods ?

 

[benkenobi]

nope Mark not one, unless you count the lupo wipers

im planning to upgrade the brakes over christmass, after that im not really sure what mods to make
i like it standard although i would like to make it a bit faster...
any ideas mark??? other than just sticking a G60 engine into it..

QUOTE this in one clean and straight corrado lads!
cheers for that Rich the guy i bought it off kept it in the garage most times and so do
i because i dont need it during the week, i cycle down to work and we have a company
car that i use during the week for work

Looking sweet, first time I have actually seen a photo of it.

 

[markmcie]

Is it a 1.8 or 2.0 ?

 

[benkenobi]

2L 16V mark

[JMS]

When I have enough cash (in a million years), I'll hopefully get a Corrado as they're sweet!

Like the car Brian!

Nothing wrong with that

Nice clean Corrado, 1st time Ive seen pics of it also.

 

[Geo]

First time I've seen pics of it.

Nice looking car but now I know why you are always looking for new wheels

 

[ronan]

nice car

QUOTE Nice looking car but now I know why you are always looking for new wheels

i know GEO there shockers alright but im saving some cash at the mo to get a nice set of Brock B2 silver cup
cant wait to get them

but if you know of anybody selling a cheap set of any nice wheels to keep me going for a while let me know

 

[benkenobi]

here are some pics i took of the car this weekend after eventually cleaning it,
it has been lowered and it takes the 4x4 look of the rear, all thats left now on the todo list is get a nice
set of wheels sorted

would any photo shop guys on here if they have a few mins chop a set of BrockB2cups onto this pic

please

ps cheers geo for helping me out with the work on the car ;

Brian, she looks sweet.
Really polishes up well and the drop is nice

 

[Geo]

Looks well, it doesn't look as low in the pictures as it did when the shocks went in, but then when you compare the 2 side-on views you see the difference:

The standard ride height really is a joke, ruins the look of the car.

QUOTE The standard ride height really is a joke, ruins the look of the car.

very true and when the car is droped the ride is so much better for handeling and grip
on another point if the damping on the front is adjusted to be very soft does it cause understeer ??

 

[Geo]

I wouldn't have thought so. I think if the front is soft then you have more chance of oversteer.

If you haven't had the front alignment redone though then that could be causing it

 

[benkenobi]

QUOTE If you haven't had the front alignment redone though then that could be causing it

nope i got the car tracked balanced etc, last week, the car isnt under or oversteering i havened adjusted the
damping on the front yet i was just inquireing before i do adjust it, would i cause any problems if i do adjust it, im going to but it to the stiffest setting and softest setting give it a spin after each and see which is best

ps can any photoshop lads do a quick job on the side pic and put on some brockB2cup alloys, if they have a few minutes spare time, i dont have photoshop myself to do it,
thanks in advance b

 

[Geo]

If you stiffen the front too much then you will eventually cause understeer, I'd just wind it up a bit at a time until you are happy with the ride/handling balance.

Super looking car there Blue

My first Corrado was a Dimond Black VR with beige leather (Mmmm!)
Corrado looks the dogs dangulers in Black. Drop looks abt right for back roads around here. The 44 look has its advantages all the same
