So after weeks and weeks of looking for a corrado i finaly settled on this wee beauty, just picked it up last night.I have to say after driving countless 16 valves and the odd vr6 this was by far the best one iv ever drivin... its so tight, none of the usual raddo rattles

Shes a 2ltr 8valve( very rare model) and has a full vr6 cloth interior, including stering wheel etc...

Plans are wheels and coilovers

If that's the car which I think it is, then you have bought yourself a bloody gem!! Another corrado enthusiast knew that silver 8v on donedeal and said there was a build thread on the corrado forum on it. You have a very clean shell underneath you and a mint 8v.

And you don't know how close I was to going for it

As for coilovers, I went for cheapy cheapy rokkor coils (simply for budget reasons! ) but you can't go wrong with Weitecs, KW's or AP's.

Rusty on here has a set of AP's in his car and he's very happy with the ride quality.

Well wear dude,,,,and first dibs when it's up for sale yeah?
